Game Development: Season's Greetings

[Cimmera]

i cant play on ardenes says client is too old D:

Well, was going to say how much I missed Ardennes as it help this disabled person play HnH and enjoy doing things I couldn't do in the real world anymore like gardening and exploring but this feels like a "screw you all haha!" Damn.

Ard is broken

Ender's broken

Amber is glitchy as hell from not being able to log in on a char without errors and constant crashing to logging in but all your clothes and inventory is wiped I say this is a great start to The Four Seasons of HnH

why 30 summer/10/10/10 instead of 15/15/15/15?

why no snow on trees?

Because whatever planet the Hearthlands are on has a highly elliptical orbit and no discernible axial tilt, quite simply. I thought that was obvious

This means summer should be the shortest season. Whenever you are closer to sun - your speed should be maximum.

We can't have 15 days in a row without midges, it would ruin immersion.

[*] Crops will fall fallow in winter. Fallow crops can be harvested at any time for a reduced amount of seeds of the relevant plant.
[*] Cycling trellis crops will recede to their first cycle stage, and not grow, during winter.
[*] Non-Cycling trellis crops will stop growing during winter.

What does fallow mean, they stop growing? Usually when I hear fallow that means nothing is planted.

There is a bug! There are invisible what might be trees underground! They have collision and cannot be interacted with otherwise.

Yes this is in the default client, but also other clients.

ive noticed extra things on Amber client wehen I hid the gobs ( ctrl h ), wasnt sure what was it but its probably related ( maybe cave fen spores ? _)

Although you are correct from the orbital mechanics perspective, seasons on Earth are not determined only by the proximity to the sun. That's where the axial tilt comes in. If the Haven world doesn't have a sufficiently high tilt, the seasons will be less extreme. Just like the ones implemented here.

low ping combat will dominate

There, I think I finally managed to track this down. Should be fixed.
