Day/night system

Day and night system would allow the game to have a day state and a nocturnal state. Giving the possibility to add multiple monster spawn sets. All point mentioned below are merely possible effects.

Day would..

  • Enable light mapping
  • Enable Day time animals to appear
  • Open all shops
  • Give light magic more power
  • Enable diurnal NPCs to appear

Night would..

  • Enable nocturnal animals to appear
  • Make ghosts appear? (what kind of ghosts? creatures or playerghosts?)
  • Allow players to commit burglary
  • Make magic and fire look even cooler
  • Maybe give access to places hidden in daylight (doors that show only in moonlight)
  • Be the perfect time for a secret clan meeting
  • Make darkness magic more powerful
  • Enable nocturnal NPCs to appear
