City of Atlantis March Update & Closed Technical Demo Registry

Hi everyone,
This time we’ve got something cool that we think you might really enjoy:

1.When looking at our game, we realized that the color palette felt a bit… dull. But how do you change that when you're in the middle of the ocean?

The answer: a full Day & Night cycle with dynamic sky reflections. And here’s the result (WiP):

Night-time lighting isn’t ready yet, so our Atlantis still looks a bit dark 😉

But you can probably tell where we’re heading with this.
Now imagine combining this with other mechanics – like the crowd simulation system or dynamic building changes influenced by player decisions.

The result? Potentially some very unique and engaging gameplay experiences that make Atlantis a world worth exploring.
Of course, gameplay is important – but we also believe it should just look good. Why not both, right?
