Update #19: Look up at the new sky! 🌤️

[h2]Update #19 is here! 🌤️[/h2]

Hey everyone! Just pushed out a fresh update with some cool visual improvements that I'm pretty excited about.

What's new:
  • Brand new skybox that looks WAY better than the old one ☁️
  • Added a new highlight system to show nearby collectable resources
  • Added an experimental day/night cycle with weather system 🌞→🌙→🌧️
  • Fixed that annoying bug with the car dealer in multiplayer (finally!) 🚗


The day/night system is still experimental, so you might catch some weird lighting at times. If you do, screenshots are super helpful!

Drop your ideas for future updates in the comments - I read everything and your suggestions really help shape where we go next with Poly Plaza.
