First game with day night cycle series#

The balance of day-to-night can be altered as well, meaning that the day-night cycle can be weighted towards primarily daytime with only a very short night for example. Reimplemented the daylight cycle., however with a 16 minute duration instead of 20. By default, a day lasts exactly 24 hours in real life using a value of 1x, but could be cut down to 1/8 of that cycle using an 8x multiplier, for example, resulting in one in-game day per every 3 hours of real-time. Currently, each cycle lasts about 15 minutes, with day and night each lasting 7.5 minutes. It takes eight in-game nights for the moon to move through all of its. The phase of the moon affects, for instance, the shop inventory of certain NPCs, certain enemy spawn rates or fishing. The current moon phase is indicated by the amount of it that is visible each night. Even though it was by no means the earliest game to implement a day ight cycle, it was the first one I played that actually put the whole real-time day ight idea to good use. The day-night cycle itself is also configurable based upon a multiplier. The moon in Terraria moves through a cycle of eight different phases, with the next consecutive phase appearing each night. This is probably irrelevant, but the first game that came to mind was Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A set of Night Vision Goggles is very useful for exploring during nighttime without running the risk of exposing your location.ДayZ servers recognize the time of day and can be configured to either use actual-time based on their location in the real world or a time set by the server owner.

However, you run the risk of attracting unwanted attention from Infected or other players. Flashlight, Headtorch, Torch, or mounted tactical flashlight) might be necessary to see properly.

The night will make it harder to see and to be seen, and while the moon might provide some light, in order to explore safely a light source (e.g. In Animal Crossing the sun rises between 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM and sets between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, the sun is down all. The time is based off the internal system clock.

First game with day night cycle series#

Both the stars and the sun-moon cycle can be used to aid in your navigation during your adventures. The Day and Night Cycle is a feature in the Animal Crossing series that tells time during each day, just like in the real world. At night, the moon will provide a natural light source, and real-life star constellations will be visible in the night sky. As the sun sets, the temperature can drop and the world will be enveloped in darkness. Time of day can have an effect on visibility and ambient temperature.
