No Time News

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 ^^

A new update is about to be released today onto the public branch.
As last time I am going to release the announcement before the update.

Attention I reverted the inventory control scheme back to its old setup.
You use numbers [1] - [7] to iterate through the inventory.

Use the scroll wheel to hold your item farther or closer to you.


The Sandbox Mode has been added into the game!
You play it by starting a new game and choosing a mode from the select menu!


Buy costumes at your local 6/12! See how people react, or how you look in it by spying out yourself.



Hmm... weird I don't remember this blueprint from the epilogue quest. Most have added and forgot about it...




Work on Edward's sewer adventure goes into the post production phase and voice recordings.
It will tell the story of Edward's venture into the sewers as a youngling.

Here is the full changelog.

Again I apologize to anyone who did encounter this bug. It is something that I really try my best to be resolved. And I hope that is :)
