Description

Build version

1.99.1

What happened?

The rain effect overlays the entire window (the entire tower). I would suggest that the rain drop effect should only be visible in places where there is some transparency (eg through windows - large windows in sky lobbies should be able to show the rain). In the original game the rain did not cover the building which made it feel "cozy" inside out of the weather. Very minor thing but it is something I noticed compared to the original.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Wait for rain effect and observe.
Browser

Chrome / Chromium

Platform

Desktop

Game mode

Classic

Before submitting
  • I checked whether this still reproduces on the latest build at verticopolis.com (fork/local or older-build reports are still welcome).
  • I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rain effect in Chrome or Chromium using Classic mode, then trace the rain rendering and window transparency behavior. The fix is done when rain is visible through transparent areas such as windows but does not overlay opaque parts of the tower, matching the original game's cozy interior effect.
