But that's just my ideas for gameplay, they have nothing to do with voxel meshes :roll:
Yes, thats what exactly I was thinking when first testing it. I suddenly got urge to be slowed down when in -deep snow-. :lol:

One other thing, it is possible to add effect (similar in character -decals) like footsteps, but just be like you are leaving trail in the deep snow behind you.

Yeah, great idea! Not even footsteps, something more like a trail. Footsteps are probably better for the thin snow areas where there is just a texture applied.

And the piles of snow don't even need any solid collision, just a slow down effect would do the trick. Though some collision detection is probably still needed to detect that you are inside the snow.

I'm really late, but having the season changes feel more impactful would be great. Terrain changes would be a capital start to a season overhaul sort of mod.
