Is there any intent to implement weather?

As fun as this game is, I'm really hoping someday to find myself in stormy sees, my seamoth getting rocked back and forth as the wind howls, flashes of lightning illuminating dark water and swirling clouds. What sea-based story can really be considered complete without the occasional storm to stir things up?

Does anyone know if there's any intent to implement even the most basic kind of weather, or is it basically what we have is what we'll get on that front?

    I didn't saw something about weather in trello so I don't think they intent to add it sometime soon but I also belive adding stormy rain weather to the game could be amazing and COOL!!

    I haven't noticed anything about it on trello, either, but yes, it would be amazing to have the weather change. But for starters, it would be beyond amazing to have better looking clouds - right now they look horribly low res compared to everything else. And have them separated from that giant planet in the sky - they move at exactly the same speed making it look like the planet is just... I dunno, painted over the clouds.

    Haha, I noticed this when I first started playing and it bugged me for a while. It just looked so weird and unnatural! I've been doing my best not to think about it since then so I didn't even realize it was still a thing.

    The game currently does have, like, eclipses or something though right? I remember it getting really dark once, very suddenly, in a very cool way.

    Yeah, the eclipses are quite breathtaking:

    Still, a full-on storm with lightnings could be even better. :wink:
