Nothing but the date last updated. He is just letting you know nothing has changed since yesterday.

I'm still waiting to hear why people care whether there is a night mode. Just turn you screen brightness down if playing in the dark is a problem for you. I don't mind if they add a night mode, as long as we have an option to turn it off. It seems to mostly be kids asking for night mode, so maybe it is just something I'm too old to understand.

I think there is a lot of confusion on "Night Mode" - the original requests for a "Night Mode" was almost at the beginning of the game, when they wanted the times of day to actually change characteristics in the game - like during night, goblins could raid more since they would be stealtier, or Archer Towers would have lower range due to sight issues, skeleton traps did more damage, but during the day towers could shoot longer or wizards harvest sun rays to be more powerful those types of things.

I can tell you in some early meetings (circa 2012) I had conversations with the dev at the time detailing all the ideas from the forumers, but it became a logistical nightmare. Most users wanted it to correlate to their own time zone, so if you're US East coast, it was "Night" say 9pm - 6am, problem is - that is daytime for other time zones - so someone could end up playing day during their night or night during their day, etc. Was too hard. They toyed with the idea of simply using GMT times, problem is still the fact that some time zones would be opposite their own actual day/night and some would always play with one advantage or the other.

I don't think the devs were against having the villages actually display day and night (with no game play changes) I wouldn't call that game related anyhow - but the actual variables the users were asking for during day/night sequences were too hard to deal with, and players could game the system by changing times/locations on their devices, etc. Plus back in this time, the devs were dealing with the early builds of things like TH9/10/11, heroes, spells, DE troops, etc that they had on their road map, and something like a graphical-only change, or something of this nature was pretty much dismissed due to "Better fish to fry".

The other issues in the early days of the game (pre Android) is Apple at that time had a 50MB limit on WiFi download size and we were at like 46-48MB. In order to represent night time, all the graphics would need to be doubled to include a nighttime object (it isn't as simple as just dimming the screen as someone said) which would have put us over the limit.

So... I don't think nighttime will come to your village as you know it.

Legit question: what happens if one of the guys(be it supercell moderator or youtuber or whatever) just goes full nuts one day and breaks the NDA and releases every detail he knows?

[Johnlay]

Look at the words which is between Update radar and Sneak Peeks. Or Make a selections between them. You will see pure speculation. He said update would release in Frieday(12 of May).

[ABHISHEK1673]

He/she will become the hero for all of us.

there's always a chance if supercell doesn't make the best update ever. don't forget there are more updates to come in the future. you speak like this was gonna be the last one. and it is not.

In the leaks, if they are to be believed, it is like they to tinted everything blue. The torches and army camps don't even light up the area around them. It would be a waste of time and a missed target if it is like the leak shows.

well..our troops and heroes will need a night-vision glasses then...maxed ones to can see half of the map at least.

/THE GLASSES WILL NOT COMING WITH THIS UPDATE/

Let's see - SC makes millions of dollars a day - twister makes about 1 million every 10 years - they would destroy me with legal fees suing me for breach of my NDA to start with. Well, I don't even need to think of reasons #2/3/4 - #1 is enough.
