V0.696 | Storm&Radios Update! | Edward's Sewer Adventure around the corner!

Hello fellow players!

Version 0.696 has made it into the public, here's what's new!

Radios and Stations.

Listen to any of presently three radio stations.

• Radio Andrey: The station of the mega city to the west. Moody synth music, 12AM, 1PM, 16PM and 19 PM you got a local news cycle with police reports or local news.

• Pine Radio: Always playing the newest jams, though it gets into weird taste during the 2000s. 1-2PM is News Time.

• Fred Radio: The best classics aged well... like m a n u r e. You got callers talking and asking about mysteries, theories and all that good stuff at 7AM, 12PM and 8PM along with a interview segment running at 5PM.

**

You can drop in your own music as well!**

Just go to your local installation folder and navigate to "_music". Inside you will find folders according to each radio station and time period. The presently accepted file types are .wav and .ogg files. Enjoy that feature!

Weather Revamp

The weather and corresponding weather effects have received a major revamp!

First and foremost a custom written volumetric cloud renderer :D

During storms the clouds sink, covering the sky lane so fly safely!

Rain drops are now visible on the floor, and I am planning on giving the cars windshields some appropriate rain effects in the future as well.

Thunder strikes are now local. That means, there could be a chance of you getting struck by lightning.

But that wouldn't happen likely unless you had some kind of lightning rod ^^

Edward's Sewer adventure is planned to release by the latter half of this month![ Though it still depends on if I get all the recorded voice samples before the set deadline./h1]

As per usual here is the full changelog. Enjoy the update! And next update will likely revolve around a new side quest for the old 1500s.

Cheers and God Bless.
