Omaha update - First version of weather system & character portraits

During this week's development the start of the weather system was developed. As this is just the debut of this feature, I'm excited about the enhancements and refinements that will come in future updates.

I have also expanded the game's environment by introducing diverse ground textures, including various types of grass and sand. This addition brings a fresh feel to the game's landscapes.

While I also ventured into integrating lighting effects, it's evident that this aspect still requires a lot of polishing. Lighting plays a pivotal role in crafting the game's atmosphere, giving each scene a unique mood and feel.

Another exciting feature in this week's update is the introduction of character portraits. This adds a vibrant, personal touch to the game, moving beyond mere numbers and spreadsheets. Each person in the game has a generated unique portrait. The player will also be able to customise their own character portrait.

Our next update will either focus on upgrading the weather and tracks visually or staff logic (how they function, contracts, negotiations etc.). Additionally, I will be taking a holiday break, so this will be the final update for the year.

Please consider adding our game to your wishlist on Steam by clicking "wishlist" below. It's free, and it greatly encourages me to keep developing the game!
