Lovely Weather We're Having

It remains a concept rather than a finished product and I don't regret having quenched my curiosity but the question is : Do you recommend this game? The answer is an honest "no". It lacks substance, objectives, there is very limited exploration and an overly confined world even if the weather concept is interesting (albeit not extremely new). I found a way to jump across the fence behind the backyard into the "Void" and I thought to myself that there might be something more to this game than I originally thought! I will probably fall into a fantastic alternate world beyond The Void, maybe another part of the Earth with a different weather, maybe even another planet with its corresponding atmosphere! But no, it's just a bug where if you jump across the fence into the The Void, you don't respawn or anything. The screen just stays white. Thought the devs should know.

This game changes insignificant things about a small isometric world based on your local weather readings. Maybe if you're uncontrollably curious about extremely minor aesthetic details, you'll love this game. Every time you boot this game up will feel like Christmas morning. For the rest of us, you could get a better experience by just going outside and talking to your weird neighbor in real life.

Look, I love the premise of this game. I suspended my disbelief with the 'u' and the 'ur' in the synopsis. It could have, after all, been from the heart. I get that it's only what it is. A decoration. Amusement. But it seems to lack something of a thematic foundation. It's about going outside. So what? It's not obscure enough to qualify as intriguing outsider art. The quirkiness is too forced to leave an impression of genuinity. The presentation is unpolished and the concept feels like a stump.

This game just doesn't have enough content. You can walk about and not really interact meaningfully with anything. You can't interact with your dog that follows you about. There's a bicycle which you can walk into, some rocks and things which make interesting noises when you walk on them. A hilltop to walk up, so you can walk along rooftops. It doesn't lead you anywhere interesting. There are NPCs who will say about 2 lines of dialogue to you. Then you turn around and talk to them again, and they say something else. But in total, it seemed like there were about 4 things they would say, each. Maybe it was due to the weather that they hardly had anything interesting to say. It was sunny and cloudy, early evening. One NPC gave me an idea of something I could do... and I did try.... but I don't think it's really possible to jump. All you can do is walk off things. The in-game map is very small. After 8 minutes I felt like I had exhausted all the content in this game. After 19 minutes, I felt certain of it, so I resorted to the super secret cheat code. In the instruction manual (YES! Games still have those!) there is a super-secret code that lets you toggle debug things. I would not normally touch such a thing, but... to be honest, it makes the game a lot better. It lets you zoom the camera out, and walk faster. You can also ruin the "exploratory" experience and alter the temperature, time of day, and weather, to see how the game changes, meet different NPCs, see a few different things to run into. After 26 minutes I felt like I'd seen everything the game has to offer. I really wanted to like this game. It has the potential to be something like a micro Animal Crossing - but without the hurtfully judgemental neighbours. (Or the fashion, or collecting, or money... but mostly this was the potential I thought this game could offer). But.... it all just feels too shallow for me. It needs more content. All this game did was make me want to play Noby Noby Boy on PS3, which has a very similar art style, and is also more-or-less goal-free... but has more interesting content to see every time you come to play it (though no dialogue), and gameplay which involves eating and stretching, which are two of my favourite pastimes.

I want to love this game, for its quirkiness and unique setting (something reminding me of 1980s / 90s children's shows, Where the Wild Things Are, and a Spongebob-ish universe...) but beyond Lovely Weather We're Having providing for a few laughs at its strange settings, funny character designs (the dog that follows you around inparticular, with his goofy smile...) and some amusing dialog (including a character lamenting / loving being kicked in the face and asking you to do so again as it's the only thing he has in life, more or less..) the game does little to provide any direction where you are to go, which fits the game's somewhat nitrous oxide/innocuous feeling atmosphere, but doesn't make for a very engaging game experience overall. This game's retail price of 7.99 is very high, once you realize that there isn't anything to the gameplay beyond wandering through the forests, fields, and neighborhoods and occassionally exchanging a few lines of dialog with one of a handful of NPCs. In the game's description it mentions the weather in the game reflecting your actual location, which I never saw much variety in, whether as a result of it being clear days here, having some kind of location service/recognition switched off (??) or just having not tried to "play" the game enough. All of that aside, as a feature, if that doesn't affect the gameplay beyond only an aesthetic change, I don't see it adding much value to the title overall, beyond a kind of cool visual 'app'/technology. If the game at least made an effort to conveying some kind of narrative or sense of progression and wasn't quite so experimental / abstract of an experience (and had a lower price point in lieu of that..) then I might recommend it, but as-is, on sale, all-in-all it amounted to what I expected of it: Some funny / nice / weird settings, without much to do.

I really love the concept of the game and visual representation, but it's just not enough, is it? It's to small, there's nothing to do there. I only wish the map was larger with more interactions

It is lovely weather we're having. Its a really awesome concept piece, I love the effort thats gone into it. Its just really chill and relaxing. One of my favourite games for environment for sure. Its like a painting, not super interactive but lovely to look at.

This game is like a weird, rubbery mash of Animal Crossing and Miffy. It's bizarre, it's colorful, it's quiet.

This is a beautiful, peaceful lazy-day simulator. You can watch the day and the seasons go by. Pros: you can go for a nice walk when there's too much weather to go outside in the real world. Cons: I accidentally kicked my bike over a mountain and couldn't get it back.

This game is very unfinished. The game promises dialogues but they are only two sentences long. There is a bike that you can't ride, you can't sit or swim in the water. Art style is interesting but definitely not worth the 5£ for 2 minutes of entertainment.

You walk around and talk to NPCs. That's it. The weather/time of day concept is neat but there's no point to it, things just look different. Just screw around with the debug mode to see all of that instead of waiting for it to rain in real life (type 777). The main appeal to this kind of game would be the exploration, but the map is so small you can see 'everything' (or rather nothing) in less than 10 minutes. I guess the art style was nice and the little bits of dialogue were fun, but that's literally it. There's nothing to do and it's kind of a shame it won't get updated or we'd get anything else since the developer ragequit Steam over politics. It's a good idea that just needs more content, because right now it's just an interactive screensaver. But who cares, you can't even buy it anymore.

This game is possibly the most innocent thing ever created. The akward clay-like figures glisten in the rain, and all leave me smiling at any new phrase they say. Speaking of said phrases, they change (along with the color scheme and effects) to fit your local weather. This gives you a sort of goal to hear everything possible out of the dorks that surround you by starting up the game whenever for 15 minutes or so. Final statement: the cold never boggled me anyway

It's like Pokémon Go but without Pokémon and without REALLY leaving the house. Took me eight minutes to see everything. Buy it at 90% sale. Even better: Don't buy it.

This game is aesthetic, and I'm a sucker for it! Its hard to explain why I'm upvoting this. I found this game relaxing and kinda goofy; for some reason I don't regret buying it. I can't guarantee you'll like it, heck, you'll probably hate it and regret every cent as you try to get your money back as soon as possible. But I enjoyed it and thought it was pretty neat, so. It has an artsy feeling to it, along with the colorful design and relaxing sound effects; normally this is something I'd hate. But its only $3 now so its something you should pick up if you enjoy aesthetic.

Imagine being so high you paint your dog with the same colour you used for your house. This is a lovely, slightly vague or even mysterious, peaceful experience, a "non-game" with no apparent goals but a lovely little world to stroll around in, also the little bushes make "boink!", which is nice.

This game is such a lil' gem! I think you can tell pretty well if you're going to like it from the description and screenshots. It's whimsical and simple and definitely right on when it says it's made to please introverts. I loved wandering around the first time, but honestly, it's only gotten better each time I've checked in (in little 10-15 minute sessions). The characters are charming and funny, the environment is goofy and satisfying to kick, and the sound effects are calming. A+. :-)

Having such a good walk through my 'hood (neighborhood). Real cool to chill with, like, an ant and other things. Very cool. Very chill.

This is an amazing game byan independent degsiner and develoer. it is super cute. the game is only really played for 10 minute playing. It also makes you go outside

I pushed arock into water. He asked me to. So I did. and he acted as if nothing happened. I would think him ungreatful. but he's a rock. he has no nerves. and I'm a man. This game is pretty, and I love it.

Amazing little cute game, really can't go wrong with this one. The concept is unique ad different, although there's no goal, it's still a nice little game to mess around with. You can see gameplay here of basically what this game is. https://youtu.be/YTVRty0c604

this game helped me through some rough times, i found the love of my life through this game, they can be seen in my profile picture. this game can cure cancer. 10/10 -IGN.

WHY is this even a game u have to pay for you should pay me to play this really what the hell.. theres nothin but shit to do sounds like shit runs like shit plays like shit feels like shit i could even smell the shit coming out the computer.. overall THIS SHOULD BE FREEEEEE.....

First five minutes weren't even worth it! I admit it looked fun but it just wasn't. Dont like putting down other peoples work but it was really boring.

Here's my Blind Let's Play: https://youtu.be/c6Jcrc8z-Rw Simply one of the worst 'experiences' I have ever had the misfortune to play. I genuinely believe that this game could cause people to go insane simply due to the complete lack of ANYTHING. They say that staring into the nothingness of space could make a man go crazy, perhaps the same could apply to a lack of content?

This is not really a game, more like a casual daily simulator. Nonetheless, I actually really like it! It's extremely different from anything I ever adventure myself trying and it actually has tons to explore, considering dialogue changes depending on the season and weather (of where you are realistically situated) and so do the colours and the overall look and ambience. It's most likely not something you'll open to explore all the time, but it can definitely last for a long time as a casual visit sort of thing. A little space for you when you're bored and have nothing else to do. I personally thoroughly enjoyed it, it is different and a bit refreshing!

the graphics are so good that i have to recommend this game, even though all there is to do in it is walk around, kick stuff and talk to the locals, who will say different things depending on the weather in your area. fun to play for five minute intervals. if you have ADHD and care about the weather but are afraid to go outside, this is the game for you

I enjoyed the game and really dig the art style, It lacks a bit much to do but I'd love to see you do more with the look in the future.

I LOVE THIS GAME BUT MY FRIENDS THINK IT IS BAD. THEY ARE NOT MY FRIENDS ANY MORE.

like gumby meets animal crossing

If you are too high to go outside, then this is the game for you.

The sort of game you play while drinking a warm cup of chocolate. Worth your money.

Lovely weather today.

Play this game while stoned or don't play it at all

changed my life forever

Type of game that makes you excited for a hurricane.

I will never not have this game installed.
