Vote Eldritch!
Interesting that the seasonal pack mentions "all seasons"
If it's just the Christmas set, I'd be a bit underwhelmed, but if we get some real seasonal variation that'd be a great addition.
Curious what the vote will offer!
As with all our blogs, it definitely pays off to also read the text and not just look at the image :)
I hope this seasons pack includes a new seasons visual mechanic + automatically-changing decorations. IMO DLC like the Christmas pack ended up too fussy to use on a regular basis, and I'd think the same would ring true for other seasonal decorations.
I don't think this is out of the scope of possibility as it could utilize a similar day night-cycle system but use effects like snow (already in-game) instead + changing foliage colors.
Likewise, the automatically-changing building mechanic was already present in a few buildings like the marketplace, since these buildings would get a holiday skin on Christmas.
This is, unfortunately definitely out of scope for a Cosmetic DLC.
The "Seasonal Decorations Pack" will offer, true to its name, decorative ornaments for each season.
How does this seasonal pack differ from the Christmas one? Will it be similar to the market in 1404 which changed based on the season/holiday?
It will offer several new decorative ornaments for each of the 4 seasons.
No circus... 😭🥺😢
Sorry, no third chances!
At the very minimum, could these seasonal ornaments be visual skins so that all of them could be changed at once with the skin painter?
That is not possible, no. The different ornaments are separate, unique models, and not seasonal reskins of each other.
Releasing the same Christmas Pack a second time is an interesting move 🤔
I think you may be missing some things in the blog and image :)
At the very minimum, could these seasonal ornaments be visual skins so that all of them could be changed at once with the skin painter?
No, not in the way the system is set up at the moment. The ornaments come in different sizes and look completely different, so it wouldn't be possible to just rotate through the 4 seasons anyway.
That aside, the release is, as announced, in less than two weeks and the content is finished, it's not possible to touch any of the ornaments anymore until release.
And what amount are we talking about ? 5, 10, 30 ? The last major dlcs where quite lackluster when it comes to variations, just look at the orchard or the multi factories, malls and so on. If it goes the same route I rather keep my money.
Scope-wise it'll be similar to previous Cosmetic DLC, so between 20-30 ornaments total for the pack.
