Will Rain return so I don't think it will actually, I think rain might be a post 1.0 thing, or it might be cuts, because the solution we had for rain was we sort of I don't remember this the full story but I believe the the implementation we had for rain in update seven or six or whatever we addited it, that was like we we got that from another Studio who would implemented it in Unreal Engine and when we move to Unreal Engine 5, that solution couldn't be used anymore so we would need to implement it from scratch and we were like we'll do that for 1.0 but as we are getting more and more closer to 1.0 we s realized like there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to polish up the game and, we've just I think we need to prioritize that over rain unfortunately, which is sad but that's just how it is sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles, but like you know rain didn't add anything it's just a thing- I know it was nice A lot of people really like liked it, some people didn't even notice that it disappeared which I think is a good sign that like okay maybe we shouldn't prioritize it for 1.0 maybe we should prioritize these other things, so- I'm not like I'm not saying that rain will never come to satisfactory but right now it's on like The Chopping board, in comparison to like all the other things that are going on
