I dont know why they still havent added one but i feel as if it would be wrong for them not to add it during this event and just keep it as the norm afterwards everything would look so much better at night like the community parks it really shouldnt be hard to just patch it into the game im pretty sure most people would enjoy that. EA just lock in and give us night time
To my eye, it looks like the game is using baked lighting. To do a day night cycle, they would have to use exclusively realtime lighting. Areas in shadow will start to look much flatter. One of the trade offs when doing a day night. Switching the entire city from baked to realtime is not a quick task. They'd also have to go around the city and make sure each are is adequately lit at night. Would be really annoying if you struggled to complete a challenge because you can't see.
Even if they did a separate bake just for night (no day night cycle), it would still take a lot of time as the art team would have to light the city for night.
Why? Because they wanted to make revenue so they released and unfinished game.
Will it be added in the Future? The team has not indicated they are working on a Day/Night cycle in any of the currently released updates or roadmaps so far.
Yeah the biggest issue is adding light everywhere including some light post on streets as some where removed for challenges or other reasons. (Doesnt mean i dont want it just stating the reasons)
yes indeed. with all the lanterns placed carefully at literally every spot i was also thinking they would just drop night time for a little hype with the update now. because halloween. at least some screenfilter.
they added turned on lights at some spots with the last update and further fleshed out that one tunnel, so i thought this was a tease.
this is no baked lighting, people just repeating buzzwords blindly.
i believe they are planning to do it at some point. otherwise carefully lamps and lanterns literally everywhere wouldnt make sense.
i guess with probably oclusion releated crashing and other ctd reported with graphic releated issues, it may be some performance issue and is just development hell disguised in their filthy untrue marketing.
the devs are making a good job with the skate sim, the marketing is just cancerous and funked up business decisions leading the way.
Commenters here mostly covered the actually dynamos here. The ambience is really what lighting would add along with a GTA esqe atmosphere to the game which could be neat to some players as they have always wanted the free lobbies and none server swaps as well. 🎃
so they released and unfinished game
That's exactly what "Early Access" means my dude.
