Hey everyone! This is Refreshed Main Menu: Dynamic Edition (Standalone), dynamically changing based on real-life time.
If you play in the early morning, you'll be greeted by a rising sun; but if you play in the evening, you'll get deep purple shades of the coming night; and if you play at night, the whole sky will be covered with stars, and you'll get the warm light of a nearby campfire.
All in all, there are 5 different states based on the real time of day you're playing :)
• 4:00 - 5:59: Dawn
• 6:00 - 9:59: Morning
• 10:00 - 17:59: Day
• 18:00 - 20:59: Evening
• 21:00 - 3:59: Night
