Dynamic weather system</h2>
 
The weather changes are not merely cosmetic but also play a significant role in the gameplay. For instance, since winter is coming, there is a chance that it will be cold and snowy. Players will need appropriate winter gear to survive. Without it, they risk frostbite and reduced stamina. Water, if not stored in a thermal container, may freeze, making it inaccessible until it thaws. 
During summer, the weather could become very hot and lead to Drought. In a drought, water becomes a precious resource. Mercenaries will consume water more quickly, highlighting the importance of hydration. Failing to wear a hat can even lead to sunstroke, making headgear a vital part of your survival kit. And not to mention that your base that could have some agricultural activity can be affected as well. 
The dynamic weather system extends beyond survival and affects the in-game economy. Resources like food and water become scarcer during extreme weather conditions, leading to increased market prices and the potential for economic exploitation. Smart players can adapt their strategies to profit from these fluctuations. 
Scavenging is a core aspect of Lost Region's gameplay, and weather conditions add complexity. During winter, players must prioritize finding shelter and warm clothing. In droughts, hunting for water sources becomes a top priority. 
Adapting to the weather and planning your scavenging trips accordingly can mean the difference between life and death in the Lost Region.

Monthly news 
 
</h2>
Lost Region is moving to monthly instead of weekly news. The reason is that we already implemented all that it is in GDD (game design document), and right now, we are focusing on balancing and merging all the features. Major updates would be displaced in monthly news and a summary of the project's results. 
 
Stay warm, folks!

Dynamic weather impacts gameplay and economy. Monthly updates provide major highlights and project summaries. Stay informed, adapt, and survive! ❄️🌞
