Development Update – NPC Schedules & Weather System

Character Movement & Scheduling

NPCs now have a more advanced movement and scheduling system. Characters can follow different routines based on:

• Daily schedules

• Weekly schedules

• Seasonal schedules

• Yearly events

• Unique one-time schedules

This system allows characters to move between locations and behave differently depending on time and context, making the world feel more alive.

Weather Manager

The new weather system allows full control over seasonal weather patterns. I can now configure:

• The number of rain events per season

• The number of snow events during winter

Additionally, there are new watering parameters that control how rain affects farming:

• Watering delay – how long after rain begins before soil tiles start getting watered

• Random watering range – a time range that determines when different soil tiles become watered, creating a more natural and less uniform effect.

More updates coming soon!
