One of the trickiest parts of Mythwrecked has been balancing the colour palette for the various times of day, and the transitions between them (the game has a dynamic day/night cycle). With Röki (our last indie game), all scenes had a static colour scheme, so this was a whole new ball game... - ThreadSky

Glad you enjoyed it! We have some surprises up our sleeves :)

...Here's a brief overview of how it works:-

Swatch textures * Day/Night Gradients (sampled for the % through the day) = final result.

This also is how we make the world smoothly transition through the various "landmark" colour schemes.

This brings back memories of The Faery Tale Adventure, released in 1987. It was my first open world game and similarly had a day/night cycle. I love the flare of dawn and dusk, it's a very nice touch!
