The sun arcs across Thundoria now — golden at midday, amber at dusk, cold silver by midnight — and the weather doesn't wait for you to be ready, rolling fog and cracking storms in on its own schedule.
True day/night lighting — as the hours pass, the world's colors shift naturally from bright midday whites to warm dusk and cool moonlit nights, keeping every tile readable at any hour.
Glowing lampposts — at dusk the village lampposts flicker on, casting warm halos that bloom and glow through the dark; they snap off again at dawn.
Point-lights in the world — torches and light sources in the map radiate soft radial glow that pulses gently, giving each lit area its own atmosphere.
Rain & storms — rain streaks across the screen with shifting density; thunderstorms add lightning flashes and a deep rumble of cloud cover.
Fog & overcast skies — rolling fog haze softens the landscape, while cloud cover mutes the light and drifts through the day.
Weather that evolves — each condition drifts hour by hour through the day, so a storm intensifies as evening falls and fog thins as the morning warms.
Day-rollover fade — when midnight arrives the screen fades to black and back, marking the turn of a new game-day.
