Introversion

Smodd had this wonderful idea, that since we can now automatically update mods via the steam workshop, it would be possible to create a mod that updates with the season. It is my pleasure to introduce:



https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6izzb3wxo7gzos/Seasons.zip
Version 0.1 - Initial release of "Winter" base theme. Still have some ideas in the works, but wanted to at least release "Something". Would love some feedback!

The mod will feature changes to the looks, sounds and grants of the prison, as far as the modding system will allow. It will be available in several languages including(and hopefully not limited to, I'd love to have more people join in) English, Danish, German(by Smodd), Dutch(by Master-Guy).

Updating schedule will be something like:
Winter -from now till 31.01
New Years - from now till 06.01
Spring - from 01.02 till 31.05
Valentines day - from 07.02 till 21.02
Fastelavn - from 28.02 till 09.03
Easter - from 14.04 till 23.04
Koningsdag - from 24.04 till 01.05
Summer - from 01.06 till 31.08
Midsummer - 17.06 - 01.07
Autumn - from 01.09 till 23.11
Oktoberfest - from 20.09 till 02.10
Halloween - from 24.10 till 01.11
Guy Fawkes - 01.11 - 12.11
Thanksgiving - from 02.10 till 12.10
Winter - from 24.11 till 31.01
Sinterklaas - from 01.12 till 06.12
Christmas/Hanukka - 06.12 till 28.12
Newyears - from 28.12 till 06.01

Eh? NL has valentines day on feb 14th..

Oh, yeah, but they do tend to make rather a bigger deal out of it, so I figured I'd refer to it by that nationality. But you're totally right, the date is a typo!
Updated the list and removed the countrycodes, doesn't really matter where the festival is from or most prevalent, the point is to celebrate it!

You forgot santa

Oops, hehe

collaboration between modders for a greater purpose, guess the internet isn't all pictures of cats and shameful posts

I support this idea fully! You guys are awesome!!!

...all of them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_holidays
haha that'll be difficult. Are you sure your 18 separate mods aren't enough for you?

MiriW wrote:2) What makes new years special to you?

the fireworks mostly. Not really sure how that'll help. My family celebrates Chinese New Years, where everyone cleans, there's red everywhere, and we give those who are younger than us little red money packets to wish them prosperity.

edit: omg, May 4, is Star Wars Day

There won't be 18 mods. They will only be one mod which will be updated... 18 times da year minimum

That's awesome, thankyou! I need all the ideas I can get to make this good

I agree, however, there's already an incredible mod made by Vector available on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=208627677
Your suggestion does make me want to incorporate ITLaP and Towel day though

always happy to help!

Released the first version to steam - on the same slot as the old festive mod.

Only thing we can do now, is hope that the developers come with Alpha 16a soon with included fireworks
