Day and night

Can you add the change of night and day? I know it's a lot of work, night textures etc. But it will be pretty nice and looking good.

Sorry, sadly it is not possible, because of our Java based engine we only have limited texture space for all our graphics.
So it is better to have much more diffent buildings instead of less buildings but with night day change :wink:

Maybe you can make graphics dark and grey and turn on light sprites.

This would be possible, i thought about it also.
But it is the same problem....we would have to create "lightmaps", pics with lightspots for every different building.
We do not have so much space on our texture graphic.
It is a limitation by Java, we can´t have a bigger texture for our graphics without rewriting the game in another programming language :?
