Posted April 12, 2017 Imagine being in your nice new apartment, looking out the window, and seeing a huge tornado. Natural Disasters would be the next level of roleplay, but it shouldn't cause huge damage. Tornados for example could be away from the cities, more towards farm land. Not a huge tsunami but more of a flood, just real situations that we could get into that wouldn't kill everyone and ruin the game. As an example, if there was a flood you would have to get your boat to get around the city and keep your car in your garage. In a tornado, you have to get in a shelter because the tornado might push you where you don't want to go, but nothing too serious where someone would lose a lot of money or die. This shouldn't be in the town square module, more of something for the full release of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They already have had this suggested to them/ ask about and they have been considering it but we are not sure it will be in and definitely not at full release anyways.

Posted April 13, 2017 The apartments are instanced, meaning that they are kinda in a different game world to the rest of the map. This prevents people walking past apartment blocks having to render everything from the apartments inside. As James said, you can see outside of your window, but because it's not synced with the other world, you won't see anything that would be happening outside the apartments in the main world. The devs have stated that they have been toying around with the idea of adding natural disasters and said that they want to do it [Quoted from IdentityRPG Reddit Q&A] " We definitely want to include natural disasters in some way, but we aren't yet certain how we want to go about it. We've had a lot of fun and laughs discussing how we can mess with the game population using hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, but some things just seem like they could get a little too out-of-hand, so we don't want to commit, or make any promises until we're more sure about this idea down the road. " They also said that it would be cool to have them at themed holiday events as well: " Natural disaster events for holidays or other important days would be a great idea.
