Summary0005425: Seasonal Monsters (and possibly items/missions)
DescriptionI saw that you will soon be including four new seasons/months to the AVWW calendar (Dewbloom, Solswell, Ashfall, Frostmoon)

I got to thinking it would be great if there were monsters that were seasonal. So certain monsters might appear only in Solswell....while another monster would appear in every month except Frostmoon for example.

Also maybe to have certain items/missions that are only obtainable in certain seasons. There's room for a lot of interesting things.

Ooh, I like the idea of that quite a lot! :)

Building up on that concept, you could bring in the idea of night and day affecting monsters to seasons affecting monsters. So during the cold season (whichever one that is), monsters without protection from the cold will act differently. Some huge, dangerous monster might hibernate in a cave. In the equivalent of spring, young monsters of some type will mature and become more of a threat, while during the winter they're pretty small and perhaps even cute. All of these natural transitions would contrast strongly with the technological monsters, which are unaffected by weather or season.

Also, it'd be nice to see the effect of seasons on the different tiles. In winter, ice areas will be even colder and more dangerous. In summer, desert tiles could get dangerous heat wise. If you could get a fall effect going with some of the trees, that would be pretty awesome too.

I think a lot of that is probably getting into post-1.0 type of work, but it's the sort of thing I'd definitely love to do.
