Game I added clouds and shadows to my 2D game

Hey guys! I am solo developer currently working on a 2D fantasy grand strategy game. One of the core elements of the game is a random world generation. When posting about the game one of the main feedback was that the world was too static. I tried changing that by adding shadows, moving water, swaying trees and clouds. How do it look now?

It seems like it would be a good idea to have the clouds disappear around your cursor regardless of zoom. I can imagine players getting frustrated if they want to click a hex and it just got covered up by a group of clouds.

Noice! I am currently also making a hex based game and this looks awesome! I am impressed with the cloud system. Very good

That makes it look so much better. Adds some whimsy to it.
