Hello fellow players!

Here is the complete log of all last patches.
I will very likely release a mini update before Christmas so stay tuned for that :)

The prior volumetric clouds will likely be reverted when the update releases, since I did not achieve the hoped for performance boost from the instanced cloud rendering.
Along with it will come a quality slider.

Have a blessed advent time!

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

[h2]Radios and Stations.[/h2]
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.
  

[h2]
You can drop in your own music as well![/h2]
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!

[h2]Weather Revamp[/h2]
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 ^^
