Too much rain

Postby Oswald3 » Sun Aug 28, 2022 4:49 pm

Rain is cool and all but I'm already starting to grow tired of seeing it so frequently. Feel like it should happen about 25% of the time and not half the time.

I'd argue less than that, even. It gets more special the less often it happens, so it shouldn't happen too often. 25% of the time is still a lot.

It would be very helpful if there was a toggle for visuals of the rain. The frequency of the rain might be discussed when there are actual game mechanics involved, but right now what rain does is adding novelty (wears off very quickly), then starts to get annoying and for some people (including me) makes it unbearable to look at the screen for any prolonged amount of time. Basically a timegate based on your age and sight condition.

I'd also admit weird lighting, during the night its as bright as during the day at some angles of camera, this looks like persistent lightning strike.
And during the day it's as dark as night.
Rain is just swapping lighting in the game which confuses me.
And +1 that it's too often

Rain does something weird to light effects, many things become afflicted with the "looks like they're made of plastic" -syndrome that most things in Salem had.
