how sad, vampiricrogue. when you make a topic, try not to post in your own topic so much. of the 22 (now 23) posts, 15 of them are yours.

Wouldn't that require a third UNECCESARY version of the game?

I mean, come on. I honestly don't think it matters.

Yes, but you TT'd to get there T_T

Some people know this little fact that whenever it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it is summer in the southern hemisphere.... and then I thought about each individual game containing different holidays... such as "Naughty And Nice Day" being an Europe-only holiday, what makes you say that each individual package, or game at that, sent worldwide wasn't set to that particular season change? Such as now, with it being summer in South America? Surely it can't be a winter scene there...

Ugh! I learned that in Integrated Science last week (south hemisphere, north hemisphere, the earth, sun and moon)

You know they make different versions of games all the time - different languages, different cultural references, etc. Creating a different version of the game for language is a lot more work than simply switching the seasons to start on different days. Why shouldn't they make it more realistic for the entire southern hemisphere?

I don't know, maybe you're too young to know about US consoles requiring mod chips to play Japanese versions of games, especially when the content was changed so dramatically for import to the US due to parental concerns of violence and crap.

Different versions are made all the time, offsetting the seasons is probably as simple as switching a couple variables in the coding.

PS - I asked a friend of mine who is vacationing in Australia to see if he could find out from a video game store there about the seasons. I'll let you know if I get an answer.

i'm in new zealand, and it's summer here, but winter in the game.

 

[Nedrian]

wow, lol. i posted before i read all of the posts. i guess i'm a godsend to this question, lol. too bad it's 8 PM for me on friday, so that means it's 2 AM for eastern players in america on friday...
no one will be on in a while to see. =*(

 

[KapuBen]

yay, lol. it's nice to have the very few people that are on at this time because it gets pretty quiet here on the forums. :/ i'm surprised no one else was able to answer this before me... seems crazy i'm the only person i know of that plays this and lives in the southern hemisphere, lol.
i'm pretty picky about who comes to my town. had too many things destroyed and stolen... sorry. :/

 

[KapuBen]

eh, ok
I thinked that you trust me, if you even added me

I believe reading that the developers made it so if you were in the southern hemisphere, the seasons were the opposite of the northern hemisphere.
