[grave niche]

And with that done, I may finally make the switch

[upper bronze]

we’re covered in moss sorry

[barren mist]

Praise 227673

[dusky quail]

None of that helps

[worthy locust]

Ya'll are robots speaking number talk

[obsidian plover]

honestly this is one of my favorite chats

[delicate shuttle]

why green

[barren mist]

Why isn't skybot joining in on the 227673 fun

[lilac solstice]

Why not green

[wanton yacht]

227673 season when?

[upper bronze]

WHEN I SAY 22767 YOU SAY 3!
22767‼️

[obsidian plover]

also in case anyone is wondering, the green color for the role is the hex code for 227673

[grave niche]

I am a time traveller. This is the superior build in the future.

[storm escarp]

Can we praise 101329 please? Without it we wouldn't be here ;-;

[hollow compass]

Did PC beta testers get their own colour? Wait, I have the colour too 🤔

[dusky quail]

Right bye yall don't help 😂😂

[dry ibex]

Was just thinking that Skybot is awfully quiet with all this chaos

[quiet obsidian]

yahoo i have become 227673

[barren mist]

Every build after 227673 is 227673

[upper bronze]

join the fun skybot

[storm escarp]

It's probably just a temporal joke, we are all 227673

[dry ibex]

Alexdolly changed the colours of the beta pc role!

[grave niche]

[frosty trout]

We are the Build. Beta builds as you know it is over. We will add your bugs and technological changes to our own. Resistance is futile.

[storm escarp]

Oh, is this the King?

[obsidian plover]

not the replays! D: ;-; 😭

[quiet obsidian]

i don’t think sagos ok yall

[barren mist]

Give all mortal possessions to 227673

[dry ibex]

What a reveal!

[lilac solstice]

PvE in sky but it's bug squishing

[grave niche]

Aha, gotcha with my previous message!

You reacted "no" without even reading my build number backwards!

[merry marsh]

NO WAY

[barren mist]

Soon we will all become one with 227673

[storm escarp]

376722

[obsidian plover]

all build numbers will be compressed
from 101329 - 227673
we will all become build 227673

[dry ibex]

Sagowomay evolved to Sagomay (227673 Crabs)

[storm escarp]

Or even worse, 1001

[grave niche]

That's a lot of crabs... surely too much to fit in a house?

[barren mist]

227673 is taking over the whole server, next the world!!!

[wanton yacht]

time to turn Ktjn into 227673 krills in a trenchcoat

[grave niche]

though, would the crabs stack, or would they just... merge with each other if they don't collide with one another?

[obsidian plover]

megacrab

[storm escarp]

How will they be compressed tho? zlib?

[barren mist]

We need more tgc staff to join 227673

[grave niche]

*Imagine 227673 crabs merged with each other hitting you in one go.

I think your sky kid would just get deleted*

[barren mist]

I am going to make 227673 fanart tomorrow

[grave niche]

Either that or ||the post-eden sequence would begin||

[storm escarp]

Megabird, is that what you mean?

[worthy locust]

Born to Heart. Realm is a Home. Honk Give me Hearts 2023. I am a light boy 227,673 capeless moths.

[lilac solstice]

Megabird is actually just 227673 crabs all along

[grave niche]

Oooh, that's where they live

[storm escarp]

Ah, and the king is 227673 megabirds?

[wanton yacht]

what if the true record breaker is 227,673 moths in concert

[sudden pine]

thats...a lot of moths

[brave grove]

Silly and odd question. Has anyone been able to complete Valley of Triumph in the PC beta? Mine crashes after the Openning slide bit.

[lilac solstice]

Yes which is 51 billion crabs

[storm escarp]

That's lotta crab

[zenith lynx]

More food

[storm escarp]

What about 227673 oreos?

[dry ibex]

227673’s light grows brighter. It's time for the peas. Would you like to travel there?

[delicate shuttle]

227673?

em no

227673 is the right answer

[wanton yacht]

next spelling event nastymold hosts will be 227673

[quiet obsidian]

pea cape that takes you to the peas after the season of 227673 is over, sold for 227673$

[storm escarp]

Sold for 227673 prestige candles

[sudden pine]

best i can offer is 227673

[dry ibex]

give me the pea cape tgc!!!!!

[reef solar]

HEY GUYS what are the numbers for???? what's happening????//

[grave niche]

How about 227673 ÷ 1?

[quiet obsidian]

227673 is happening

[obsidian plover]

it's the current build number for beta
it became self aware

[storm escarp]

227673

[barren mist]

I'm gonna go sleep for 227673 minutes, bye 227673 superfans!

[zenith lynx]

The end of the world as you know it

[wanton yacht]

227673 is an in-joke about current build number /info

[storm escarp]

Although I prefer 101329, light awaits is nostalgic on my little heart, had its issues tho (Learning to walk)

[sudden pine]

still a huge fan of 222223

[lament ibex]

What 227673 mean tho

[zenith lynx]

It will always bother me that we didn't get 222222 😔

[obsidian plover]

sorry, best I can do is 224829 or 220790

[storm escarp]

I wonder if 222222 was a build that just crashed

[wanton yacht]

Considering how difficult it was for skids to stand in line (PASSAGE ) im not suprised at walking struggles

Edit: awww rip cool colour

[zenith lynx]

Back to yellow was fun while it lasted

[sudden pine]

no i think we had it for at least a little while

[quiet obsidian]

yea but think we have 227673 now which is a million billion times better

[grave niche]

It only contained 2 of everything and was a brief experimental moment of switching Sky to a 2-player coop format.

[storm escarp]

What about 8-player coop format?

[zenith lynx]

That is true, nothing will ever beat 227673

[obsidian plover]

227673-player co-op

[orchid nexus]

#227673 is gone, but 227673 lives on

[storm escarp]

Pov: The concert

[grave niche]

Like I said earlier, just put math into the build number so that it always equals to 227673

[steel thicket]

What-what's with all the numbers?

[storm escarp]

I wonder how many devs are laughing about 227673 around the office

[grave niche]

Would love if they just hid 227673 somewhere in the ingame office

[storm escarp]

Pleeeeeeease

[obsidian plover]

227673 the most popular build in the beta chat

[storm escarp]

Sadly

[sudden pine]

we get to go to the office and there's just a big lit up 227673 on top of it

[storm escarp]

I mean, it would be so funny, imagine they paint the walls with #227673

[grave niche]

Aim the cannon at it to get wax

[cosmic jungle]

Why's everyone becoming a numbers.. what's going on

[iron elbow]

01010000 01000101 01000001 01010011

[sudden pine]

(I am in fact singing 227673 to the tune of Jenny 867-5309)

[storm escarp]

227673 is the current build for the beta, also our lord and saviour

[runic compass]

I LOVE THAT SONG:

[sudden pine]

YOU'RE WELCOME

[zenith lynx]

227673 is the best build

[lilac solstice]

Now that song is stuck in my head Pere

[grave niche]

thatbuildnumber

[storm escarp]

Same

[jaunty cosmos]

I keep seeing the yellow outline in beta updates/invites but never actually getting the pings

[sudden pine]

[zenith lynx]

I don't know that song and something tells me I do not want to look it up

[sudden pine]

i mean, if you dont know the song as kind of a classic rock song tune it's probably not gonna get stuck in your head

[zenith lynx]

Okay, then I'll look it up

Nah it's gonna get stuck in my head anyway 🤣 good song though, I like it

[storm escarp]

Oh man the stickers on this server are cool

[storm escarp]

Well now I am terrified

[lilac solstice]

So I saw some pink question marks spells in the sunlight area. What do they give? Is it random spells?

[void steppe]

I take full responsibility for 4 people who caused this mess.

[storm escarp]

I take full responsability for 227673 people who caused this mess

[obsidian plover]

mess?
no mess here 😇
only 227673

[void steppe]

Lots of mess here. You're one I'm responsible for.

[storm escarp]

We didn't do a mess here, we even got a temporary new color for the role

[void steppe]

That was the mess.

[iron elbow]

so you know those blessings spells that we had during anniversary? exactly that, same pool, same everything

[sudden pine]

🎵 227673 🎶

[grave niche]

227673~

[lucid warren]

i think i've seen the pink question mark icon in live, im assuming that it means it failed to load an image? or it might just be me misremembering things

[obsidian plover]

227673's song shall be heard all across the lands

[void steppe]

No. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

[storm escarp]

Dark we were just having fun ;-;

[obsidian plover]

Even skybot likes 227673

[storm escarp]

I wish Alex was here to make the bot embrace 227673 again

[void steppe]

You started a C*Lt.

[obsidian plover]

it was a group effort

[storm escarp]

I need someone with a blue role to say that we haven't created that and that 227673 is perfectly legal

[woeful flint]

Love reading steam deck known issues

[void steppe]

I give up
You guys have fun.

[wanton yacht]

lmao its just a silly joke thatll fade in a couple days pfff

[storm escarp]

Yay

[storm escarp]

I'll make sure to keep it alive

[wanton yacht]

pffff fair enough

[lilac solstice]

Ohhh okay thank you

[grave niche]

hope I don't have nightmares of 227673 tonight

[obsidian plover]

nightmares?
I consider that an amazing dream!

[ashen tusk]

wait why are people's names green now?

[storm escarp]

Wait didn't your discord update? That was a bit ago, our names are back to normal now

[ashen tusk]

y'all are still green to me

[wanton yacht]

#227673

(Alex changed the pc beta role colour for a bit for the joke)

[sudden pine]

meanwhile i cant find one of the ice creams and it's driving me nuts trying to remember if i actually picked them all up or not

[ashen tusk]

one on the jelly, one beside summer guide, one above the jam spirits on a wooden ledge and one on the wood deck outside granny iirc

[haughty raptor]

Beta pc updates ping role

[iron elbow]

Join failed. Bubba is on the older version of beta chat.

[potent dome]

is there a way to check the pc beta form that i submitted
ive been paranoid about whether i spelled my email correctly since i submitted it o.o

[distant shell]

No, you can do it again though if you'd like to

[potent dome]

i can? there's no issue if its a duplicate?

[woeful flint]

Check #beta-announcements they wrapped up sending it last night, everyone who got in should’ve gotten keys in email

[potent dome]

yeah but they said future keys might be sent later so i wanted to make sure i spelt my email correctly

[woeful flint]

just read it on beta invites, heres to hoping more get sent out!

[viscid sundial]

Doesn't say anything about sending another application so it should be fine?

[potent dome]

yea
ive wanted a pc version since i started playing in 2020 💀 im excited for when it comes out even if i dont get a beta key

[ashen tusk]

pretty sure it was mentioned last night that it wouldn't require another application

[viscid sundial]

Well I was responding to this, this person wants to make sure they didn't mistakenly write something wrong

[ashen tusk]

ohhh yes yes I misread sorry!

[viscid sundial]

I wish you could check a past form you've submitted because I'm worried too But I'm sure it'll be fine

[empty ermine]

Summer days when

[woeful flint]

i believe it's being merged into days of sunlight but wafo

[viscid sundial]

that's been the case since last year hasn't it?

[empty ermine]

I just played around April this year :')

[woeful flint]

last year we got days of sunlight, then a newish event called lazy days which was summer days i think

[viscid sundial]

Ohh I see, I thought they meant days of summer not lazy days

We didn't test lazy days last year so we might just not be testing it this year either

[woeful flint]

i think days of style will be replacing lazy days, because that is way too many events

[hybrid raft]

i am so excited for the towel capes >:] my skykid is gonna be so cozy when it does come to live

[viscid sundial]

yeah that makes sense, I just realized lazy days items have been available since we started sunlight testing. so it's been combined into sunlight

[sweet urchin]

Is there another big concert play test schedule? I keep missing because I didn’t have pings opted in. Want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

[spark lance]

Haven't played Beta in a bit, how do I do the new Aurora event thingy? Is that over already?

[sudden pine]

aurora will kidnap you from home, and now there are some event tickets to find in the night stadium (plus 10 bonus ones for watching a concert at least including queendom)

[spark lance]

OOO okay ty!

[naive viper]

hrmm, i cant seem to get the pc beta to work the tgc logo and music play but then the screen stays black. i've already submitted this to bug reports, but has anyone else run into this and found a fix?

[sudden pine]

she has an emote to get from her in the stadium, and i think you can also get the wings and the iap aurora items if you didnt get them before

[vernal turtle]

I have this same issue as well! Are you able to hear in game sounds and press buttons to interact?

[spark lance]

what are the WIP items in her tree?

[naive viper]

i heard some birds chirping briefly, but then it went silent and hitting buttons doesnt seem to do anything 😔

[vernal turtle]

Not even the space bar? The space bar usually takes you into the game somehow (at least that's what I found), that's why I ask

[naive viper]

tried it just now and i think it did something, but then the game crashed 😂

[woeful flint]

What are your hardware specs? the game runs great for me on steam deck

[vernal turtle]

Well, glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue now

[sudden pine]

that's the emote lvl 1 and 2

[naive viper]

ok i just reloaded and hit spacebar again and it started the opening cutscene i think! but the screen is al black still

[spark lance]

i'm all alone in my current aurora concert, and its kinda magical tbh, being all alone

[vernal turtle]

Yep, same for me! Did you bug report it already?

[sudden pine]

i think aurora concert is not putting people together? cuz i am in here too

[naive viper]

yup, tho now after looking thru some stuff online this may be a graphics driver/steam issue rather than sky's fault 🤔 so im gonna try updating my graphic driver

[spark lance]

How do I do the AURORA minigames, if possible, btw? heard something abt that, not sure where it is or how to do it

[sudden pine]

the minigames go on in the stadium in between concerts, there's different things to interact with every ~15 minutes (there won't be any in there right now cuz a concert is going on)

[spark lance]

ooo okay ty!

[vernal turtle]

Might be, but on my end my graphics meet the recommendations and I just updated my drivers, so Idk The devs are investigating this issue, though, so we'll see!

[woeful flint]

fingers crossed its fixed for yall!

[glossy fog]

I already had a beta qualification on June 20, but as soon as I played it, I mistakenly reported that the game file was damaged. I was really freaking out at that time, and I couldn't get on it. I asked the customer service and didn't get a useful solution. Who can help me?

[pine garden]

how do i apply for pc beta>?!

[woeful flint]

#beta-signup-info has the deets but TL;DR they sent all the keys and will add more in the future but no word on when or if they will anytime soon

[pine garden]

the I'm late

[woeful flint]

It wouldve been sent out through email if you were one of the randomly selected! #beta-announcements message Is all the deets from Stellify who was sending out the keys.

Hopefully sooner than later!!

[viscid sundial]

My estimate is late October for pc release Manifesting

[woeful flint]

mine is nov cause gamescom is at the end of this month

we should be testing the next season at the end of this month too but im just speculating

[viscid sundial]

That's why I specified late October, it would be 2 months from the gamescom showcase (around the same timeframe for playstation, from showcase to release)
Also because I think the next season would start around then, (maybe early November tho,) and I'm hoping another port doesn't start in the middle of a season again

[worthy locust]

My belief is trying to have it ready to launch in time for next season

[woeful flint]

it seems pretty polished despite some minor issues with the deck, so it could be sooner than we think! Fingers crossed for yall

[spark lance]

Is the survey to apply for PC beta still available?

[sudden pine]

hmm i dont think the concert is showing napkids

[worthy locust]

I wish sooner but I dont think they want newcomers to buy a season pass with 20 days left and then complain theres no time to complete

[viscid sundial]

Yeah, again why I think they're planning on release with the next season

[glossy vapor]

IM A BETA TESTER FOR PC OH MY GOD
I'M SO
SPEECHLESS
AND HAPPY
AND OVERWHELMED
BUT I'M NOT HOME

[spark lance]

that’s usually why they release a new platform at the beginning of a season or in between seasons, just like how Android was released when Enchantment started, right?

[gilded parrot]

@spark lance, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[spark lance]

i know skybot

[viscid sundial]

Yep, however with playstation they released the port when Aurora was already halfway through

[tame mantle]

does anyone here know where the Google survey is for the PC beta?

[spark lance]

I would also like to know this

[viscid sundial]

https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[woeful flint]

you can check their gamescom blog post https://www.thatskygame.com/news/new-sky-milestones-for-gamescom-2023/?utm_source=DC&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=gcaec23&utm_id=Discord there's a link to fill out the form for PC beta

[sage haven]

I think they are so hyper focused on PC testing rn that they want to push the release to be around the same time as the Aurora encore.

[errant scaffold]

i'm almost tempted to fill out a new form because i'm paranoid that i spelled my email wrong, would that mess up my chances of getting a beta key in the future if i did

[woeful flint]

I dont believe so as it is random? i would imagine they would just sort duplicates together

[worthy locust]

Shadowdropping the Steam release for Encore would be pretty epic

[viscid sundial]

Definitely not. They're just doing an early showcase during the Aurora showcase at Gamescom. Like they showcased playstation early during Tokyo Game Show, last year

[glossy vapor]

Bro I'm not home so I can't play the pc version rn

[woven nacelle]

wait so we still have a chance to sign up for steam beta?

[viscid sundial]

They can still send out steam keys later on if needed so yeah

[worthy locust]

Sign up but also do the steps for invite in #beta-faq

[crimson geyser]

Lol right me too

No confirmation email got my anxiety goin

[viscid sundial]

They chose a small group at random so a lot of ppl did not get an email

[crimson geyser]

I meant confirmation after submitting the google form

[viscid sundial]

Ohh I see, then yeah same I'm not sure if google forms usually sends an email tho

[sinful oxide]

where's the google form to submit?

[crimson geyser]

But I'm sure I typed my email right and everythin, just gotta be patient now 🥲

[viscid sundial]

https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom, in the PC beta section

[woeful flint]

it does, i have one from the chicago assemblies, they just didnt turn it on for this form for pc beta

[sinful oxide]

oh it's only for windows, makes sense because PC ANYWAYS

there is no beta for sky on mac?

[shut pasture]

I get an error even if I put uid of discord😭

[hybrid dust]

iirc sky already works on newer macs?

[woeful flint]

No testing on mac environment, maybe after they bring it to pc they let us mac users also test

[errant scaffold]

doubt it, maybe there'll be a mac version in the future but apple products are also not very. . dev or consumer friendly

[sinful oxide]

true true

@hybrid dust I thought tgc still needed to test the updates

[frosty trout]

You can get the PC beta updates role in #beta-faq

[alpine junco]

what graphics options are on PC?

[hybrid dust]

from what ive seen is that the lightning-bolt graphics mode selection thing is still the same aside from fps being a separate toggle, and some extra stuff for aspect ratio

[alpine junco]

not even resolution options? and can fps be unlimited?

[woeful flint]

the game scales to the desktop native resolution, on steam deck you can force a launch resolution- so it would depend on your device

[late sonnet]

Omg sago did the thing
227673 is eternal

[iron elbow]

ALL THE MASKS ARE BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL SIZE OMG

[late sonnet]

WHAT

[viscid sundial]

POG

[hybrid dust]

original size?

[iron elbow]

they were all increased slightly in the last version and it ruined a lot of good clipping combos

[hybrid dust]

ah i didnt even realize lol

[late sonnet]

Omg they are shrunk

[storm escarp]

Thanks 227673

[late sonnet]

227673 still the most goated build of all time

[sage haven]

Who let skybot in this channel?

#beta-known-issues message

[woeful flint]

skybot knows no bounds

[iron elbow]

no one did, it let itself in

[placid sky]

assuming all keys have been sent out already and they're no longer rolling out? (as of now)

[worthy locust]

As of now

[oak juniper]

I have an hour to do all the aurora quests and attend the concert to get the cape

[lilac forge]

I'm waiting to get the key to join the pc beta

[late sonnet]

They were all sent out earlier if you didn't get an email then that's that
You'll have to wait even longer if they have another wave

[lilac forge]

It's alright, I'll wait, it is worth it because I have my desktop already

[carmine thorn]

Oh alright!! I’ll wait next one

[spark lance]

I remember the first live AURORA concert, the one right after the game awards. I remember heading to the coliseum two whole hours before it started so I could get a good seat near the bottom of the stadium and also be with my sister, kinda like having to prepare for an IRL concert lol. I watched the game awards while I waited haha. It was really nice. good times

[snow steppe]

pc beta invite is already closed?

[oak juniper]

unexpected time loss
being stopped by aurora by a cutscene telling me where to do while grabbing the 2 spirits to get through the gate

[spark lance]

I don't understand the emote ring minigame in the aurora coliseum, can somebody explain it to me?

[lilac geyser]

I downloaded the beta version of SkyPC version of Sky to Steam but I can't play it 😭 why oh why oh why?

[woeful flint]

do you get any errors when you try to boot it?

[lilac geyser]

Yes

[woeful flint]

emote ring minigame? confusion is it the one where you run through rings and emote? i think its more of an activity than a game

[woeful flint]

What is the error? if anything I would suggest trying to update your computer's drivers

[hybrid dust]

what are ypur pc specs?

[lilac geyser]

OK！！！𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖...🤞💞

[spark lance]

yeah that one, what am I supposed to do?

[woeful flint]

just follow the rings, they pop up an emote and you use it. I believe it became an activity because when Aurora first came there were people doing hearts and following a path and it looked pretty awesome, so to make it easier the devs came up with this activity for players to interact with

[spark lance]

gotcha

where/how do I get aurora tickets? can't seem to find any in the coliseum but maybe I'm just blind

[wind crane]

I was gonna join the 227673 discussion with an image but I discovered I cannot insert images, meaning I cannot share the ultimate creation

[woeful flint]

they are in the night version of coliseum, i think there's a guide somewhere, let me do some digging

[lilac geyser]

I can't play Sky beta on my PC, I installed it...

[spark lance]

yeah im in the night coliseum im just blind i think lol

[woeful flint]

found it #beta-discussion message

[lilac geyser]

I checked the driver and it was up to date...why! 🥺

[ashen tusk]

Did you get an email invite? If not then you can't get into beta on pc

[fervent loom]

Has anyone tried the sky PC beta on a steam deck yet?

[woeful flint]

I would suggest reporting this in #beta-bugs-windows-pc , it could be possible your pc is not supported?

[woeful flint]

Yes and it runs great!

[fervent loom]

YAYYY SO IT IS SUPPORTED :D

[woeful flint]

yeah! there's even going to be a proper steam deck layout in game too check #beta-known-issues they got some things in the works! (oop)

[lilac geyser]

I received it! I was able to install it but for some reason when I try to play it won't let me 😭

[lilac geyser]

OK、𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖...！

[hybrid dust]

isnt the steam deck linux-based or is desktop mode separate from gaming mode? because if it is all linux then doesnt this technically mean sky can run on linux (at least via proton)?

[ashen tusk]

I hope you can get on soon then! If you have issues like Kev said send a bug report and hopefully the devs can investigate the problem for you

[agile kraken]

Yeah, Sky can run on linux, even if it's not meant too.

[wind rose]

not looking forward to running gw for the first time on a phone[,[ this is gonna suck

[oak juniper]

remembering why GW makes me so uncomfortable while redoing the seed in beta

its so lifeless yet you just know that this is where everything went wrong 😭 💀

it's a great location though

[woeful flint]

Yes! I'm also able to dual boot into windows on my deck and play sky too~ just in case lol

[wind rose]

im just worried ill get krilled. i only just got to my 5th wedge doing the sliding race in valley

[woeful flint]

time to run eden on pc lol

[oak juniper]

I'm in a daytime concert area :SOB:
WHY DID THAT PING I DIDNT MEAN TOO
SO SORRY FERN

[wind rose]

lol youre good!

[sudden pine]

fern are you the fern i am friends with in live?

[wind rose]

ummmm im not entirely sure!

[sudden pine]

(maybe from a kiwi streamer community?)

[wind rose]

i dont think i know any kiwi streamers, but i follow a lot of people

[sage haven]

I don't think you need to do all quests to get the cape

[sudden pine]

well, you would know if so, so hi other fern! 🙂

[wind rose]

hallo!

[lilac geyser]

Gahhhh!!! Can't play... sad 😭😭😭

[wind rose]

does anyone know why there's crests or whatever around the coliseum?

[cursive grotto]

Good luck solider

[faint ferry]

yo i have a question real quick, yesterday i filled out the pc beta form when i didnt really need to despite already doing so when it was first announced, is it gonna have an impact for my ability to join?

[oak juniper]

you do, and then attend one concert

[wind rose]

i cant wait to try the pc beta, if i end up getting a key. the screen wont be hard to see anymore!

[oak juniper]

also the aurora new merch is so cute
I wanna get smt but I'm broke :SOB:

[lilac geyser]

Should I give up on participating in the PC beta...? 😭

[crimson junco]

did anyone else not get sent a code 😭

[wind rose]

they said they were only sending a few to start

[lost sigil]

Hello everybody! I would like to apply for beta testing.
I'm new here hehe

[lilac geyser]

Likewise!

[wind rose]

#beta-faq for phones and #beta-pc-windows-faq for pc!

[smoky brook]

I linked my Sky account to my Steam account but the PC beta is still forcing me to make a new one :/

[wind rose]

they said in the new faq that that would happen, i think

[woeful flint]

are you signing in with steam?

[smoky brook]

Yes

[woeful flint]

not sure- when i signed in with steam i signed in with steam QR and was able to login confirming it was the correct account

[clear walrus]

if it’s your live sky gaming account i don’t think you can use it in beta

[woeful flint]

yeah you can connect your beta account to steam beta and play from there, if youre new to beta then you start off as a moth

[smoky brook]

Ohhh

Okay, that makes sense- Thanks for explaining 😭

[sudden pine]

welcome new beta moth!

[oak juniper]

@odd lintel come to the beta concert in me in 22 minutes

[woeful flint]

successful eden beta pc run tho i did miss 1 (with 98 wl)

[odd lintel]

I’ll have to get ready for school I can’t

[versed root]

Anyone played sky on pc with a controller?(i just want to know is that work on sky and thinking to buy one xd)

[woeful flint]

yes works just as it would on any other device with a controller!

[versed root]

Thx : D

[hexed owl]

I have a question.. was the invitation for everyone who ordered the beta on pc??

[woeful flint]

Random selection from the pool, not sure how many got in but they sent them all last night via email

[hexed owl]

I understand.. it's because I didn't receive the invitation even though I asked but thanks for answering me 🥲

[wind rose]

Time for my first Eden run on android. Wish me luck, Im probably gonna be a goner before i even hit pnr

[cobalt mirage]

Has there anyone with an AMD Vega iGPU tested Sky PC? Would love to hear your feedback on the performance

[steel thicket]

I thought that since there was a shard event that there wouldn't be as many shards in the run up to the heart of Eden

[wind rose]

You'd think so

[woeful flint]

that would be cool to have easier eden runs when its a red shard day, though knowing me id go on the hardest day or something by accident lol

[serene hinge]

I have an AMD RX Vega 8 4000 (iGPU) but I unfortunately need to wait for a future invite wave, as I didn’t get selected, hopefully next time I’ll be able to test and see how well it performs

[steel thicket]

I've been through Eden once when a lot of the shards had turned to wax. I thought that was going to happen again

[woeful flint]

ive experienced this in live i thought i was losing my mind lol

[steel thicket]

Yeah it happened it Live for me!

[cobalt mirage]

Yeah I'm looking foward to the next invite wave as well, as I didn't know there was a sign up form in the first place 😭. Mine's a Vega 7 on Zen 3 CPU.

[upbeat summit]

if anyone here has tested sky on PC, what are the controls like? i vastly prefer PC games but im worried it doesnt have the same flight mechanics that mobile does... it's the reason i dont play on switch all that much anymore

[woeful flint]

you can play with keyboard mouse or controller on pc

[upbeat summit]

im referring to the way using a keyboard/mouse feels when youre playing. how do you execute turns/are airflips a separate key?

[woeful flint]

Space bar to jump fly, tab to toggle flight and nonflight as well as allows you to do flips but you gotta hit the WASD keys to spin while holding tab

[oak juniper]

The visuals are different for the concert slightly, I just noticed 🤔

[upbeat summit]

😔 so it is like switch. thank you so much for the info

[woeful flint]

did not know you could play switch sky with mouse and keyboard

[oak juniper]

theres like 4 of us in the concert

[odd lintel]

imagine

[oak juniper]

like 2 ppl shown up during Warrior

[frosty trout]

Quick heads up that the #beta-season-test-chat is read-only now that content testing for the season has concluded. This channel has its usual name back, and it's once again THE best place on the internet to discuss all things Sky beta

[odd lintel]

That’s barely enough for a even religion

[late sonnet]

yeah like 227673

[faint ferry]

227673

[late sonnet]

227673

[woeful flint]

make sure to hit that bell icon; like and subscribe!

[oak juniper]

I'll personally mail ferret pictures to TGC HQ

did they add more sparkles to the concert this feels brighter and slightly different than live

[cyan gust]

Man didnt make it in pc beta

[steep cobalt]

227673

[ashen gazelle]

I got the email for PC beta tester and finally downloaded it just 1sec ago. When I click on PLAY - nothing appears 😭. Also the tab appear in the PC screen has no picture in it. Can anyone tell me if I’ve been a beta PC tester yet or no?

[sudden pine]

🎵 227673 🎶

[woeful flint]

if you got a key then yes, update your drivers, do you know if your comp is supported?

[wind rose]

Only managed 7 AC but i think thats how many i had on my first live eden run too

[ashen gazelle]

Yeah, I checked and everything suits the requirements

[fast saffron]

Are the tickets bought by AC meant to be infinite??

[woeful flint]

not sure, i would suggest making a report on #beta-bugs-windows-pc it works fine on my steam deck

[civic helm]

[quiet obsidian]

anyone having server errors? it’s the “we are currently having server issues” one rather than the one that asks you to check your connection or whatever

[whole plank]

I went to bed and woke up to find 227673 even more powerful

[hybrid dust]

this channel should really be called #227673-discussion as its more accurate to what the current beta topic totally is

[young gorge]

Does anyone know where the Aurora tickets are?

[naive viper]

oughhghg no control remapping even on pc?? thats rough 😟 into feedback i go

[whole plank]

It was happening when I was logged in 12 hours ago, but not when I just tried it. It may resolve itself if you log in again.

[whole plank]

Here is cy's post.
#beta-discussion message

[young gorge]

Ah tysm!

[spark lance]

Even though I'm really bummed about not getting into the pc test, I have just realized this... since season testing has basically ended, there may be a chance for another big update

[young gorge]

Maybe Aviary??

[woeful flint]

AHHHHH i hope so

[spark lance]

SAME HERE

[hybrid dust]

either that, some other future event (mischief or smth?) or theyre only beelining for pc dev/release for now

[late sonnet]

they did release concept art for aviary
it looks like it could be the next season instead maybe
based on the fact the spirits are wearing unique clothes

[left quest]

Cackling Crab

[fickle shore]

this sounds complicated, is it hard to fly compared to mobile?

[hybrid dust]

There's concept art for the new one?

[late sonnet]

#vault-of-socials message
yeah this thing

I also did a poke around the trailer and I think it's gonna be a forest season based on how it's enclosed in clouds and feels similar to the tunnel you fly down when you enter forest
so it would make a lot of sense

beta ts are 7 spirits behind live
list here: #beta-discussion message

[haughty raptor]

Anyone here having server errors?

[woeful flint]

i actually think its harder to fly with touch controls than it is on keyboard imo

[hybrid dust]

sry is that for the season or aviary youre on abt lol, is it the map thing for aviary?

[late sonnet]

my guess is that aviary could be the next season XD
and the spirit could be a map shrine related spirit

[woeful flint]

omg that would be amazing

[late sonnet]

but can you barrel roll as well

[woeful flint]

yes, gonna take a video so people have better understanding

[trim spade]

Did we skip the shell collector ts in beta?

There’s usually about a month break between seasons on beta. I mean between the time one season ends and the other begins

[agile hazel]

It's a 227673 day break

[sudden pine]

yes just enough time for beta to become even more unhinged

[thick ridge]

People who don’t even have an dedicated GPU got beta invite, I’m devastated

[late sonnet]

? what does that have to do with anything
the invites were randomised

[thick ridge]

I know, people don’t even read the requirements and now few people posted , GPU not supported in Beta-bugs

[agile hazel]

Yeah a bit annoying knowing that the majority of the issues they'd have is because they're below the minimum specs rather than the game itself

[woeful flint]

trying to upload to discord and it doesnt embed is not annoying at all

steam deck user here who has pc beta- yes, its great!

[tepid steppe]

Hey how's the pc beta? :o
Im really excited to try it out after all this time. Also Do you guys know if the invites are rolling out in batches or over time?

[woeful flint]

It's good so far! check #beta-signup-info message for more info on invites~

[coarse lynx]

I think, practically speaking, it is still okay that people below spec are invited
super high spec have similar problems, being cutting edge means your hardware may have unexpected novelties that confound the intended way for the game to render things

But I can imagine if someone notices your bug report is from a 20 year old laptop gpu then they might just dismiss it, yeah

it is a familiar problem to mobile rendering problems, you inevitably have to do a lot of custom precautious and hard coding to get around natural variations in graphics hardware design

[zealous stratus]

please who have the pc beta of Google survey link

[woeful flint]

https://www.thatskygame.com/news/new-sky-milestones-for-gamescom-2023/ its in this post

[zealous stratus]

😘

[hybrid raft]

i’m super late but i heard PC barrel roll yay!

[woeful flint]

lemme try to upload it again

[hybrid raft]

Thank you for carrying the barrel roll community Kev

[gilded fractal]

what is next TS ?

[woeful flint]

#beta-screenshots-videos message it finally embedded 😭

[hybrid raft]

It looks so good!! Thank you for sharing

[woeful flint]

no clue we are 7 spirits behind

[woeful flint]

moving this over here @sand dawn #beta-screenshots-videos message I think touch controls make it easier to do? not sure imo

They are working to add touch screen control on steam deck as well so maybe that would help that. Though now i imagine someone with a huge touch screen monitor just flying with it on sky lol #beta-known-issues message

[sand dawn]

with touch controls you just swipe to barrel roll, and you can swipe really fast..!
on switch/pc you hold a button to get a single (slow) roll at a time

[woeful flint]

i'll let you know when they fix the touch screen controls on steam deck

[ember cedar]

does anyone have that problem in sky pc where your character just walks foward when youre not pressing anything?

[gilded parrot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593565781166391316/832872714967842826/Untitled90_20210416150354.png

[keen locust]

Excuse Me, I have a small debate with a stranger. He said that Traveling Spirit "Prophet of Fire" has returned to beta in a few months. I just want to confirm if it is correct? Because TS in Beta in the old sequence in Live. So when Fire returns to Beta will be around March 2022 (I don't know the exact date).

[woeful flint]

i have not experienced this

[agile hazel]

Beta is 7 TS behind Live, so yes Fire Prophet will come later

[keen locust]

I know that. Because of that problem, I have a debate with them ._.

[gilded parrot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593565781166391316/832872714967842826/Untitled90_20210416150354.png

[woeful flint]

i think someone has a list somewhere

[keen locust]

So the TS in beta sequence has never been disturbed?

[agile hazel]

Not the current one, no

[merry marsh]

did the name of the channel change?

anyways its day 2 since pc release, how do you guys finding the flying so far?

[thin gazelle]

Does anyone know where I can ask about downloading the beta app? I'm in the program but not able to download the app since mid july

[woeful flint]

yes season testr chat closed as we are no longer needing to test the season, and i have been finding flying fine but i use controller

[gray anvil]

Are you on android or ios?

[thin gazelle]

Android

[woeful flint]

google playstore on android, testflight on ios

[gray anvil]

did you get the invitation to download before? it could be your invitation expired and closed after slots are filled up.

[manic panther]

ios users can be removed from the testfire for inactivity, but android users won't

[thin gazelle]

I'm on android and was a tester since prophecy but I deleted the app for a while for storage reasons. Even if I have android I could have been removed?

[trim spade]

You probably need to wait for an invite. But keep your eyes open, there is likely to be another Aurora concert play test, and they often open android invites for those

[lapis flame]

Is it true that the ultimates are back in the beta?
either from pc, android or ios?
🤨

[wet oriole]

Hello, I am new in here. I already click the button in beta-faq, what’s the next I should do?

I sent an email to TGC told them I want to become a beta tester, and they sent me here.

[woeful flint]

#beta-faq would be ideal place to start, then #beta-signup-info from there

[gray anvil]

i just reinstalled the beta app last night after switching to a new android device. Here's how to find it back.
In playstore app, open manage apps and device from the menu after tapping on your pfp. Go to manage tab and you would see the apps already installed. There is an option to switch view to not-installed apps, tap on the 'installed' bar to open the dropdown list. The beta app should be almost at the bottom, it's titled [BETA] Sky.

[woeful flint]

The only thing that would be 'coming back' would be in Days of Style closets that will feature a random selection every hour. these contains some previous ultimates but you can only wear the items wherever the Days of Style runway is at

[brazen oriole]

ello ello! is the pc beta invite link always open?
as in- can we submit applications at any point in time, or do we have to wait for slots to open like for mobile?

[thin gazelle]

I did that it just won't actually install ;-; and I did it right after I got the invite again even tho I was a tester before

[woeful flint]

I think submitting is permitted, and we would have to wait for more keys to be randomly sent in another wave, not sure when tho

[brazen oriole]

ohh aight tysm!!

[manic panther]

I imagine the first pc beta wave is to ensure that the game even works, then some more might come later

[woeful flint]

i suggest checking out #beta-pc-windows-faq for more info on any other questions you may have

[gray anvil]

Could it be your device is no longer compatible with the recent builds? I got a new device because of this.

[lapis flame]

so this talk about the supremes of past seasons returning is fake, right?

[agile hazel]

Yes, no ults are returning

[craggy oriole]

Hopefully more pc beta qualifications will be issued soon🥹

[thin gazelle]

It is compatible

[manic panther]

not enough space for the app?

[thin gazelle]

I have space 😦

[agile hazel]

Do you have at least 6gb?

[wet oriole]

I already clicking the blue cape in beta-faq, so now the only thing I should do is waiting?

Okay, thanks!

[slow crow]

getting beta invite is a waiting game

[late sonnet]

and also timezone compliant game

[verbal mulch]

I wonder if there will be support for the controller, and not just the keyboard and mouse

[full hearth]

if youre on ios then its a game of speed

[sand garnet]

Feedbacked wanting the blue star glasses to stay IGC.

[cinder summit]

Help：After logging in, it always shows that there is a problem with the network connection, but I make sure my network is fine. I am unable to collect candles, seasonal candles, and tokens.I can see tokens, but no palm icon.

[woeful flint]

is this for beta or live?

[cinder summit]

bata

[woeful flint]

just tested on my end and i was able to get wax, have you restarted your device? or even your router?

[cinder summit]

yeah

[woeful flint]

not sure sorry, hopefully you are able to connect

[late sonnet]

honestly just play the game later
beta server errors are no joke and it's a pain to play when it's like that

[cinder summit]

I can use and receive magic, but I cannot collect candles or complete tasks

[woeful flint]

Honestly it could that they are applying a back end update which causes the servers to turn off and on again, so i would just wait until later as Cy said

[late sonnet]

it's waaaaayyyy too late for that
sometimes the servers start going nutso in the dead of night for dev timezone

[woeful flint]

yeah i have issues around this time too, i typically just stick to live if im on at midnight cst lol

[cinder summit]

Kev，I seem to have added your friend before. When I first entered the beta in June

You took me to find the ancestors of four new seasons

But after going online the next day, I won't be able to find you

I don't know if you remember someone named 611

[unique root]

Do you guys know where to fill out the PC application form?

[woeful flint]

I'm not sure sorry, might be a different kev? i dont see you in my constellations

[woeful flint]

https://bit.ly/SkyGamescom_Disc

[leaden oak]

season is over ?

[woeful flint]

season testing is over, there are still ~19 days left in beta but they dont need us to test it anymore as it's likely finalized from here to live.

[unique root]

It's a shame. I didn't realize I had to fill out an application until now.

[cinder summit]

Maybe, I'm not sure . On the first day I played in beta, Kev was my first friend, from Chicago.But the next day my constellations became empty.

[woeful flint]

THATS ME, ill check my constellations again xD

[fallow marsh]

how is the sky pc experience? xD

[woeful flint]

great! i havent experienced much bugs other than the #beta-known-issues

[shut thunder]

the sky beta pc icon was missing

[earnest pawn]

Sad I didn't get an email for the beta PC testing! And I have the perfect desktop for it too. Water block cooled and much ram

[brittle sierra]

There's always next time, though! Don't give up hope

[woeful flint]

this is normal for games that do steam beta launches! i just added my own icons

[shut thunder]

nice

[white latch]

Eh screw pc testing, I’m waiting for the next season testing- oh wait it’s too early lmao nvm

[glossy vapor]

Ah are we not able to login into PC beta with anything other than steam?

[clear walrus]

i’m still crying my invite must’ve gotten lost (still in denial)

[tawny hornet]

me too

[steady flume]

so the star shaped glasses are available both as IGC and IAP right now? I don't like the idea of all three pairs of glasses being IAP

[dry ibex]

Jaws just sent a screenshot as well. Whaaaat! I hope this means one of the other glasses becomes IGC??

Days of Style ends in 5 days..

[wind rose]

Anyone know where to find the spirit for the ts? I don't have that emote yet

[little beacon]

personally i wouldn't want any of the other glasses to replace the sparkle glasses in the guide's tree bc it just fits so well with the mask

[steady flume]

i get that we don't have enough information to know what's happening but I really hope tgc doesn't make them all IAP the event was so nicely balanced before

[zenith lynx]

For me, the glasses don't appear in the IAP shop, and it still shows as igc in the days of style guide tree.. Maybe because I already got the glasses from them? Or does it appear even if you already got the glasses

[steady flume]

I'm pretty sure that if you already own the glasses they don't show up in the shop for you

[little beacon]

yeah same with what happened to the slippers

[zenith lynx]

Ah okay, thank you for a second I hoped this could just be a weird bug but maybe they're actually IAP now

[steady flume]

the fact that they have their own description is worrying me ahaha

[pallid dome]

Is that okay that i cannot use any of prop spells?

[little beacon]

we can still send feedback about it tho. I don't want this to be the end lmao

[zenith lynx]

We should at least have one pair of igc glasses.. Will leave feedback but not sure if they'll change it because testing for this event is almost over 😔

[little beacon]

do you mean like the icons are grayed out?

[dry ibex]

I liked especially that we now would have 1 ‘blue filter’ IGC, 1 IAP & 1 ‘orange filter’ IGC, 1 IAP.

However if the bi glasses become IGC I’m fine with that

[pallid dome]

Yes, how else

[little beacon]

some of my prop spells are unusable too

[zenith lynx]

I'm fine with any of them being igc, I like all three of them 😂 tgc coming for my wallet again when the event goes live

[dry ibex]

That’s probably just because you have the camera on your back. Placeable spells can’t be used when you have the camera on your back. It was in #beta-announcements a little while ago

[pallid dome]

Got it

[little beacon]

i didn't have the camera equipped

[pallid dome]

My nintendo account will be empty after aurora concert, since I didn’t buy any of iaps last time

||but i need kizuna collab to return too||

[dry ibex]

Hmmm bug report it is!

[chrome ivy]

Paying the Filter's, it's some TGC would do (EA)

[steady flume]

i don't really care which of the glasses should be IGC tbh as long as we get an IGC pair
making them all IAP in the last minute wouldn't be a very cool move

[dry ibex]

I feel the same way Karik however it might still change, because it does still show up in the guides tree

[pallid dome]

People would be upset and it might become a cat hair problem

[steady flume]

so did the sandals but yeah I don't wanna make too many assumptions, the info we have on this is very limited

[timber grotto]

the sandals got sacrificed so we can get 2 more free capes, that's a win imo

[pallid dome]

But hey, at least sandals wont cost 40 euro

[iron elbow]

they could

[steady flume]

don't get me wrong lol I'm not really upset about the sandals, just comparing how they were also IGC & IAP to what's going on with the star shaped glasses

[little beacon]

right. iirc the sandals has been both igc and iap from the very beginning and was fixed a few builds later. this is a bit different since we're only finding out about it now.....feels a bit sneaky

[little beacon]

gucci sandals

[late sonnet]

I don't think it's sneaky more just some backend dev thing that isn't necessary for testers to know about
they're not looking for our feedback on whether stuff is IAP/IGC or not anymore anyway otherwise they would have kept telling us what the IAP prices would be

I'm with karik that at least one of the pairs of glasses should stay IGC though
if all the shades are IAP then it's like
are people just banned from having glasses forever unless they pay lol

[hollow compass]

Why would they not want feedback on things being IAP or IGC?

[delicate mason]

I don't think that was a yes or not question.... But I think it's because people would give feedback on the price of the Iaps and they felt that was something that they should discuss themselves

[warped comet]

hey , when i take a picture with camera in sky beta pc , where are they , in a folder or else , i can't find it in My Computer

[late sonnet]

refer to #beta-known-issues message

[radiant shore]

is the sky beta on pc is over?

[past cradle]

they're being rolled out slowly, theyre starting out with a small group first, you'll probably get a key eventually in the future when they do another wave of invites

[gilded parrot]

@past cradle, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[barren mist]

I'm seeing a severe lack of 227673 around here...

[late sonnet]

227673? 227673

[opaque hedge]

There are currencies at coliseum that spawns every XX:00, XX:15, XX:30, XX:45

Sorry to ask this and it might have been answered so many times 😭 are we able to only get one from those time slots?

After taking the EC for XX:45, I stayed and another EC spawned at XX:00 but after taking it, nothing got added in my Aurora EC. There was only an animation that I was able to get it. Thank you to those who know 🙏

[grave niche]

So how's the 227673 build going?

[late sonnet]

here's the guide for that: #beta-discussion message

[opaque hedge]

Thank you so much 🙏

[stone trail]

Have TGC already closed the recruitment of PC testers?

[hollow compass]

Yes, I’m aware that prices were removed for that reason. But we should still be able to give feedback on things related to IAP or IGC

[wary hollow]

Can you still fill out the survey to get pc beta? I cant seem to find it

I doubt id get a key rn since all of them have been handed out but mostly in the futur

[kind vigil]

#beta-discussion message
Here it is!

[wary hollow]

Thank you!!!

Where do i find the UID on discord?

I have my username but it wont let me submit it so im.assuming im missing smth (i no longer have the uhh silly number after my username)

Nvm i found it!

I finished the survey im so excited! Also will i be able to share an account for switch and pc?rn im a switch only player but once pc is out id like to be able to play my current character on pc will that be possible

[alpine junco]

game is crossplatform and you can link accounts so yes

[wary hollow]

Gotcha thank you! Im assuming depending on how i made a sky account it'll ask for said account? Like if i have a switch one it'll ask me for the switch account info right?

[hybrid dust]

Link the account you have on your switch to your steam account, then once pc launches sign in on there using your steam account. Keep in mind live and beta accounts are separate, but you can have both accounts linked to the same switch/steam/etc accounts and they won't interfere with eachother

[wary hollow]

I see! Thank you so much!!

[quartz tangle]

Any first impression about the sky PC beta?

[spice perch]

when you guys get the game wait for a day?or more?

I cant wait for play it now!

[sage haven]

My first impression is that there's not enough beta streamers on PC.

[hybrid dust]

If this is in reference to getting pc beta, then if you haven't already been emailed a key then you haven't been accepted. If you have a key you can redeem it now

[quartz tangle]

LMAO
im on my way to play it

[tepid steppe]

when you sign up do you get an email confirmation or are you meant to just assume they got it?

[quartz tangle]

You get to fill a google form in #news maybe few months ago
I forgot which one

[hybrid dust]

You're just meant to assume ig, I didn't get any confirmation to my knowledge

[tepid steppe]

my internet not very friendly 😅

[sage haven]

They didn't enable the email confirmation on the form.

[tepid steppe]

ok ty, i signed up near when it was posted but just wasnt sure since my internet is kinda iffy

[hollow compass]

If you don’t get it, just wait for the official release instead. It’ll probably be much more stable and playable

[quartz tangle]

Just got in
And i can already see the jumping button delay

[iron elbow]

ok so
remember how I posted the star glasses iap screenshot, right
see, the deal is that I kept one style iap unclaimed to keep the day counter on my alt
and I couldn't really recall what iap it was before it got replaced
well, I figured it out

guys, the star sunglasses replaced the ballet slippers

you literally can't claim these shoes anymore, they ain't here

[dry ibex]

Jaws what a coincidence that you picked the ballet shoes to be left unclaimed

[quartz tangle]

I can't spin propely
Noooooo

[dry ibex]

Okayokayokay so 1 pair of IGC shoes, and no pair of IGC sunglasses (for now). well maybe

[steady flume]

wait im slow which shoes are igc

[iron elbow]

none, ballet shoes just aren't obtainable rn

[dry ibex]

Sorry I was big time speculating lol, if they change the guides tree and replace it with the shoes, only then they would be IGC

[odd lintel]

Maybe the ballet shoes get added to a base game spirit?
Coping

[timber grotto]

maybe it's gonna be IGC in Style Guide, though i wish we got the heart glasses as igc

[iron elbow]

I made the old sc on accident too, everything fell in place it seems

[steady flume]

whatever the change is I hope we'll hear about it :') but days of style is scheduled to end soon so idk

[barren gate]

i hope so too! i really love the heart glasses, they go incredibly well with the pink DoSunlight cape

[dry ibex]

Nothing is confirmed though, might as well be a bug

[little beacon]

kinda doesn't help that it's the weekend too we won't hear about this until monday earliest probably

[dry ibex]

(Or not at all, because i don’t think anything on the guides trees is definitive until it comes to Live)

[steady flume]

idk if I'm imagining things but to me it feels like we're getting less information about updates than usual

might be because tgc is busy or because the changes aren't that relevant but idk i kinda feel really uninformed ever since the three events started

[iron elbow]

guess what
ballets aren't previewable either
what is going on

[steady flume]

gone, reduced to atoms

[dry ibex]

Same a little bit! But yeah I think too that it’s a busy period for TGC with Gamescon, the Assembly’s and probably other projects

[dry ibex]

What about spells?

[iron elbow]

i dont think my alt has claimed any, hold up

the spells are still there????? and are functional?? but why the-

I am so confused.

[dry ibex]

Same it’s also hard to report it as a bug because I think only a fraction of beta players experience this

[steady flume]

and because we have no idea what's intended and whats not do they want to save the ballets for another event? are they making them spell-only? making them to IGC? no one knows

[sage haven]

We do have less dialogue on specific fixes lately

[wary star]

now that pcs out in beta is anyone else kinda anxious about how it'll go

[wary star]

i thought itd come with some more menu options maybe or some general graphics optimizations (or optimization options for low end devices)

[wanton yacht]

i mean with ballet being so close to base spirit shoes i wouldnt be surprised if they werent meant to be in style and were separate content

[dry ibex]

Doubt it, the description said “Style silk ballet slippers”

[wanton yacht]

ah didnt catch that part

then i have no other guesses lmao

[odd lintel]

Given the PC beta literally just started, I don’t think we should be too harsh on it just yet.

[empty marsh]

When will New ts will arrive (date plzz)

[lilac solstice]

It will be one the 17th, but this isn't a beta topic. You'd be better off asking in #questions-and-help

[woeful flint]

#news message will have your answers

[steel thicket]

A while back when I first joined beta, I saw vet beta testers advising new testers to get the Sneaky Surviver spirit. Why is this spirit so important to get so early?

[agile hazel]

Pair with chibi mask to chibi fall

[steel thicket]

Ah okkkkk
Also what is chibi fall, why to do it, and how to do it

[sudden pine]

played game since gratitude, never bothered with chibi fall 🙂

[lost nebula]

This one is for my only true love... chibi fall... (Piano music starts)

[hybrid dust]

Chibi fall is a way of clipping through slopes while using the chibi mask and gw sneak spirit stance. Kind of hard to explain how to do it since it's a bit fiddly, but it's useful to skip past certain things like multiplayer doors, potentially broken things that may prevent progress or get to our of bounds areas

[hollow cape]

Sky for pc is the closest to have an xbox version ill see :(

[steel thicket]

Ok. Thanks all! I was wondering what all the hubbub was all about

[stray sorrel]

guys sorry, but is it fixed the bug of the 10 bonus tickets after seeing the concert?

[zenith prawn]

Yeah I think so, was able to get them yesterday

[brave grove]

The loading zone between the First map of Valley of Triumph and the little race(??) section crashes my desktop.

[stray sorrel]

but you do it every day or you just did once?

[simple spoke]

Question. Is it possible to get the journey outfit in beta?

[stray sorrel]

i wish we could ahaha

[zenith prawn]

Once

[agile hazel]

I don't know how people are putting weird numbers for their ram like 7.86 or 48

[hybrid dust]

Probably because they're looking at their pc specs and listing what windows says is available to use. How much ram is advertised on a product is often slightly different to how windows actually measures ram, so people who just look at what windows displays won't be aware of that

So for example I can buy an 8gb ram kit but it actually displays 7.86 available to use. Thisd be because the advertiser used 1000mb = 1gb to measure gigabytes, so that according to them 8000mb = 8gb when in reality windows measures a gigabyte as 1024mb so you lose out on some gb

[agile hazel]

Then you got someone out there with 48gb ram

[hybrid dust]

They likely know what their ram is advertised as having, and judging by that number they probably have an odd number of or mismatched ram sticks, or could be someone reading off their VRAM (depending on GPU configuration tho)

[sudden pine]

ok i know there's other activities to do everyday but i absolutely HAVE to free the jellyfish

[quiet basin]

Hii chat, which TS do yall have in beta rn? i uninstalled it because i was running out of storage, so i cant check at this moment

[twilit current]

Is it okay to apply for pc when my requirements are close but don't reach some in specific? Are those minimums or recommended? Intel i5-4670 insetad of i5-6400, and radeon rx 480 instead of 560, while everyhing else is okay (but im still checking about Vulkan 1.2). But it says only applicants with tech necessary, ill say no and still try just in case. or is it worth let pass opportunity to help?, i guess when sky releases to future new platform

[hollow compass]

My guess is that since they are accepting such a small number of testers at this moment in time, it's probably better if they meet the requirements, so that testing is more efficient. But we really don't know

[twilit current]

I see, thank you! I always like to ask don't mind me. I hope they can find all bugs and krills there are, and crabs

[brazen oriole]

beta ts is carpenter rn, correct?

[earnest pawn]

Yes snoozing one

[brazen oriole]

:D aight tysm!! <3

[dry ibex]

At the moment it's Snoozing Carpenter! We are seeveral TS behind in Live. Beta TS schedule by Cy: #beta-discussion message

[hybrid dust]

Those specs seem just within minimum to me, GPU seems like it'd be fine (technically older but performance-wise should be on par with or slightly better than the 560) and your processor is Haswell which is the oldest that supports AVX2, if you have at least 4gb ram you should be good

[brave grove]

Something about my PC is cursed. I found another Loading zone that crashes the moment I enter it.

[dry ibex]

Nope, it's a known issue: #beta-known-issues message

[brave grove]

I understood that issue as its possible for you to crash on a level transition, but so far I've had two that always crash unless I swap devices.

[stray sorrel]

so guys, we can actually take the 10 bonus aurora tickets only once

i wanted the second level of the emote :'))

[dry ibex]

Depending on how much tickets you have at the moment, it should be possible to get that lvl 2 though! Oh wait it ends the 6th, that’s 10 tickets maximum for today & tomorrow

[stray sorrel]

13, collected today

[stray sorrel]

and the 6th?

i mean, does it not finish at 23.59 pst of the 6th?

[delicate shuttle]

i wanna see 0.23.0 so. much

[hybrid thistle]

hey

[sudden pine]

but...what is the beta chat going to do if we have to see off 227673

there will just be an identity crisis!

[hybrid thistle]

khi nào các event sẽ kết thúc?

[steady glade]

is this late for beta pc now?

[wet light]

chưa biết nhé bạn

[hybrid dust]

Might be a bit before that becomes a thing, seems like they're focusing on pc dev with 0.22.5

[hybrid thistle]

event không có thời gian kết thúc cụ thể à cậu?

[wet light]

ừ, có mỗi event Aurora là hơn 2 tuần (ban đầu là thế chứ giờ mình cũng ko rõ nữa) , còn lại thì không

[sudden pine]

folks we're supposed to be an english-only server because the mods can't support other languages

[wanton yacht]

also the Aurora event is currently about the same length as a Days event

edit: correction it is a week

edit: ohhh yes yes, ty cy

[late sonnet]

It's at birds nest

[trim loom]

Hi Hello guys, my user does not want to validate the ID for the PC beta. Can anyone help me?

[woeful flint]

I dm'd you your discord UID if that's what you are referring too!

[trim loom]

Thank you, I already saw the notification, sorry and thank you very much for the support, have a great day

[hollow compass]

The application form also has a guide on how to find it

[trim loom]

Yes, everything is solved, thank you very much

[woeful flint]

finally submitted my first pc bug though its more of a mechanic accidentally missed when porting to pc

[sage haven]

The butterflies decided they were tired Kev.

[woeful flint]

tried of us pc beta users xD

[wind crane]

Butterfly bug is in the live version too actually
At least I recall it being an issue for me

[woeful flint]

what platform?

[light panther]

i havent hopped on beta in a hot min, what do i do for this aurora event thing?

[random orbit]

All AURORA IAPs are available in beta (including one new pair of shoes), plus there is a new emote in the Guide's tree for event tickets: there are five around the coliseum to find every day, plus a one-time bonus 10 tickets after watching the concert.

[idle hearth]

Question: I used to be beta tester on ios a couple years ago. I’m now back to testing but on pc. I take it my progress from back then has been wiped yeah?

[lilac solstice]

Your progress isn't wiped, so you should be able to sign in with whatever log in you used for your beta account.

[sudden pine]

if the ios login expired it might have been wiped tho ?

[idle hearth]

The instructions on the faq say I should log on my beta testing account but I haven’t been a tester for two years now

[sudden pine]

well, you could try it with your apple id and see if it's still there for science

[idle hearth]

How do you mean

[sudden pine]

can you add your apple id that you had for beta as a login method

like your testflight on apple would be expired so you couldnt play beta on an ios device but your previous progress might still be there? I have no idea if anyone's around who could answer that; you might end up just having to start new

[idle hearth]

I don’t think I saw an apple id login option. Might need to check again

[sudden pine]

i dont have pc so i dont know if it even has the 'sign in method' button at the opening screen

[idle hearth]

Yeah no. The only way is how it’s instructed on the faq. Shame

Yeah you can choose your sign in method between steam and local, but I never linked my old beta account to steam

[proud coral]

Oh yeah, you'd have to link it to steam from your original ios account so it's probably lost to time now 🥹

[idle hearth]

Yeah that’s what I figured. Oh well, the moth life has chosen me

||I’m totally normal about Sarah talking to me haha ||

[orchid nexus]

aww man I just came here to report my first 227673 pc bug and it's already on known issues 🐌

[hollow cape]

227673 should bea thing in game

[lucid warren]

simply erase their memory and bring up the bug again, then tha'tll make it known for a second time/j

[hollow cape]

i just hope they send more invites i really really wanted to be part of the pc beta testers

[lucid warren]

it'll depend if they need more testers, so this could potentially be the only wave, but we'll just need to wait and see

[potent elm]

are the days of sunlight spirits here yet, becuase i dont see any in homespace

[late sonnet]

They've been here for the past few weeks
If you're a new tester, make sure you've progressed through the game further

[potent elm]

i dont see any for some reason

[lilac solstice]

It should be just the assembly guide over in the corner of home space. Have you gone through the realms yet?

[orchid nexus]

this popped into my head so now I will curse you all with it: sing 227673 to the tune of the song "Jenny (867-5309)"

[obsidian plover]

Sky (227-673)

it's funny cause any default strings I write typically are 8675309 for testing (or cheese)

[orchid nexus]

🎶 two two seven six seven three-eeeEEEeee 🎶

[obsidian plover]

I think I should rename all file_put_contents outputs I do to 227673.txt from here on out

[sudden pine]

For a good time play build 227673

[lucid warren]

season of 227673

[late sonnet]

can't wait for 227673 TS to come back

[orchid nexus]

beta I got your number, I'm gonna play all ni-ight. 227673...
ok for real though, I searched "invert" hoping to find someone reporting the same thing I think, and I found some reports about how mouse scroll feels inverted (true) but none about how flight control is not inverted by default like it should be, or that inverting flight control isn't even possible without a controller

[lilac solstice]

Peregrine mentioned this earlier and it got stuck and my head. You just made it pop back in

[wind crane]

I heard the number

[woeful flint]

just tested this on playstation and it seems to be persistent there too on live

[lucid warren]

ok im thinking about maybe starting progress on beta on mobile for now until im able to test out the pc beta once i get the hardware upgrade
im assuming that live and beta are seperate apps, yeah?

[woeful flint]

yeah, but you can keep your progress from mobile beta to pc beta

[lucid warren]

ok nice
im thinking about installing the beta on my phone since i play live on my tablet

[agile hazel]

Each platform needs a seperate invite

[lucid warren]

ah

ok nvm to that idea, the android beta is full

[sinful peak]

I have question if I have beta account on my android, can i transfer info and play on my PC??

[lucid warren]

if you link your beta account with steam then yeah

[sinful peak]

i already link my beta ID but what i am gonna do next?? how can i play my beta ID on my PC???

[lucid warren]

did you get a pc beta steam key in your email?
if not then you weren't selected for pc beta testing, and you have to wait until the next wave (if there is to be another wave of invites) or wait all the way until release

[sinful peak]

ohhh thank you so much i dont have beta stream key now

[wary star]

we need a song that's just a comprehensive list of every error the devs have had in the code

[odd lintel]

Inverted flight controls mess me up, it’s why I always crash planes in games like Fortnite

[obsidian plover]

that would be funny, this is sort of like that, but in the form of 227673 (can be used for any situation)
#beta-discussion message

[wary star]

i still have no clue what 227673 means

[obsidian plover]

it's the current beta build number, it kinda became sentient and is now an icon of beta chat

[wary star]

Chaos will rain down as soon as it changes

[late sonnet]

it became a beta meme for whatever reason and now it's just a thing

[odd lintel]

Beta things

[obsidian plover]

also, the original version of that bug song was something I came up with a while ago
🎵 52 types of bugs in the code, 52 types of bugs, take one down patch it around 1 million null-pointer exceptions in the code... blue screen of death, crashes galore, someone please help fix these never-ending bugs 🎵

[barren mist]

Build 227673 has 227673 bugs and every single one is magnificent

[fossil mantle]

hello

[wary star]

i sure hope my sky: children of the light isnt 227673 again!

my sky: children of the light:

[azure zinc]

So how's beta PC treating people?

[woeful flint]

good! ive been having fun with it~

[azure zinc]

Nice. I never saw a notif to sign up for PC beta but I really wanna know wat are the controls for it on PC and how is flying there so far?

[lucid warren]

Sky: 227673 Children of the Light
(there can only be 227673 skykids at any given time)

[vernal turtle]

Not great for me, I've been getting a black screen everytime I start up the game, so I can't play atm

[hollow compass]

It's really just like old Macbook testing

[woeful flint]

i mostly use controller so it's just the same. Keyboard Mouse feels natural for me too just using the WASD keys and such but i imagine some will need to get used to it

[atomic iris]

hey everyone, i was wondering if i can add my main account as a friend on my beta version or vice versa.

1. is this possible?
2. if so, how do i do it?

[late sonnet]

? live and beta apps are completely separate and cannot crossover

[atomic iris]

ah, okay. thanks for letting me know! i'm new to beta testing 😅

[late sonnet]

there's a reason you start as a fresh moth on beta - all beta testers start that way
read #beta-faq

[atomic iris]

thank you again! i'll make sure to read it again thoroughly before asking these kinds of obvious questions again.

[orchid forum]

may i know where to get the form to apply for pc beta tester?

[atomic iris]

read #beta-pc-windows-faq for info on how to join!

[shut thunder]

sky beta pc to press the Z to see controll keyboard map

[bronze viper]

It's closed. There's no way to apply. Let's wait for the next qualification to open.

[orchid forum]

OK! Thank you

[iron elbow]

you can still apply by filling out the google form in this post from tgc: #news message
its too late to join the current wave, but they might do another one if needed!

[haughty fractal]

Could someone tell me the keybinds for sky pc?

[brave rain]

Press Z on PC

[strong sentinel]

Question
If I’ve sent a form during first PC beta wave and didn’t get chosen… is my form is still active for future waves if there will be waves?

[late sonnet]

I would assume so
they did state not to send multiple apps

[jade veldt]

Days of style and aurora have a lot of extra event tickets (I currently hold 39+29), is there any place where I can exchange spells like Sunshine Day?

[dry ibex]

Yep, boat at home for Days of Style. I maxed out, it said “available in 25 days” or something.

I think you can get 7-10 spells (not sure)

@wooden crescent there were no recent invite waves, so unless a spot randomly became available on google, it might just not be a legitimate way of getting beta.

If it was, maybe they can re-install

[wooden crescent]

TwT ... well she's out of internet for today (why sky gotta be 1.7gb) isn't there any other way to uhh yk? fix it only reinstall??

[dry ibex]

Well, how did your friend get in beta?

It says “game data is corrupt. Please re-install” if she’s a legitimate beta tester, it wouldn’t be a problem!

[wooden crescent]

well she booked for beta using the invite wave links a while ago idk how long , but she didn't had time to play at that moment so now when she do have time it's this

[alpine junco]

no one with intel arc graphics it seems?

[dry ibex]

Ohhh! Yeah, definitely re-install. Afaik android doesn’t kick out people for inactivity, but she should definitely update + reinstall and hope it works :’)

[wooden crescent]

okaa , thanchu

[strong sentinel]

Thanks
I asked exactly because I don’t want to overwhelm their invite list with doubles in the future or look desperate heh

[late sonnet]

tbh you're not gonna look more desperate than the people who emailed/messaged the devs about it

[strong sentinel]

Omg they’ve been doing that?
Actually, why am I surprised
I’m not even sad I didn’t get into first wave because I don’t have access to PC rn, I’m escaping heat in my region at my grandparents country house but just was wondering for the future

[stoic gust]

you can visit #beta-faq and selected the target from top message

[late sonnet]

#news message
the form is on this news post specifically
it's not linked anywhere in discord.

[leaden oak]

Press F to get wing-light

[wooden crescent]

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

[leaden oak]

Bro speed runned to get 150 wl

[wooden crescent]

i am on 200 wl tho :> , but wls are never enough

[leaden oak]

Oh yeah i forgot 200 is the new op

[wind crane]

Ah yes, sorry for the late reply but yeah my platform is PlayStation mainly

[wheat panther]

Is August 5 the last day for testing Aurora? Or do we get one more day on August 6?

[sinful chasm]

Thinking if sky will have any bond with proton or if they will ignore

With all honesty, I would love to see sky on Linux

[hybrid dust]

It works on steam deck which is Linux based and is using steam so there should be some compatibility layer working there with steam, so I wouldn't be surprised if it already was running via proton

[sinful chasm]

Ayy. That's so awesome. That means my brother and I can play together on pc . Thankchu for answering jar

[hybrid dust]

Np just keep in mind this is purely from observations from only steam deck users and there's been no official word from TGC on supporting Linux beyond the deck (to my knowledge), it mainly seems theoretically possible on Linux in general judging from deck compatibility

[modest locust]

is beta open without an invite right now? my friend got in without an invite link

[woeful flint]

android users are able to join beta if someone else leaves

[modest locust]

so There's no need to wait for invite link for Android users now? 👀

[woeful flint]

if youre lucky, yeah android users are able to get in without a direct invite i believe. i dont have an android to know myself but ive heard that is the case

[modest locust]

i only registered 2 gmails out of 3 yet the last gmail I didn't register also able to install beta that's why im also asking about it

[woeful flint]

yeah so its likely someone left and you were able to get in

[hollow cape]

With android I notice you don't even need an invite you can just search sky beta program in Google and join without an invite

[woeful flint]

Yeah ive heard this as well, one of my friends got in that way i believe

[celest ledge]

invites have to be open for it or there has to be a spot open, it says something like there are no open spots, contact the developers

[agile hazel]

No do not contact the devs

[celest ledge]

no thats what google play store says dhh

[woeful flint]

yeah, a slot opens when someone leaves the beta im guessing

[hollow cape]

It would be cool if after the pc official release they leave the beta version on pc as well I'm tired of using my phone for beta

[hybrid dust]

Yeah it's a generic statement given by Google play, it doesn't reflect what TGC actually wants people to do in that case

[celest ledge]

yes im just saying what the store page says since we were talking about it

[woeful flint]

it seems like pc beta will stay a thing and they might send out more codes in the future based on Sago's latest post in #beta-announcements message

[hollow cape]

It seems like it ill just wait and hope that I can get in the beta program if they send more invites
Because rn it feels like a good part of the user's who got a key cant even play or aren't going to

[woeful flint]

I can understand that, especially reading some of the reports in the windows pc section.. it can be frustrating but hopefully they can send out another wave soon

[brittle sierra]

So uhh, I was about to re-install sky beta but it won't let me install back because it's currently full now ;-;
What should I do?

[hybrid dust]

Wait for a new invite wave

[hollow cape]

Yeah it makes me feel mad because why did you sign just to not contribute

[brittle sierra]

aw dang. i can still play sky beta on my laptop which is weird.
i guess ill have to wait until its open again or new invite wave on android

[woeful flint]

do you have pc beta? if you get into pc beta you will still need to wait for ios and android invite waves to open

[brittle sierra]

yep, i still have access to pc beta. i guess ill wait then ;-;

[woeful flint]

yeah getting into one beta does not give access to other beta platforms until you are able to get in during an invite wave. Android waves tend to open up more so I would keep a ping on for #beta-signup-info

[brittle sierra]

the reason why i re-install is because i also have the same issue with zatch's friend too. it just shows on my screen when i login "game data is corrupt, please re-install". so i guess im not the only one then

[brittle sierra]

ohh alr, ill keep that in mind! thank you

[vernal turtle]

I absolutely would contribute if I could, but I physically cannot play the game when my screen is just pitch black the entire time. I have to wait until the devs can fix it, which may be a while. Rest assured, though, that if and when that happens, I'll be playing PC Beta more often cuz I hate playing on Mobile

[hollow cape]

Something I dream about was the TGC founders cape having the TGC logo as the wings in the back

[hollow cape]

What are your specs just curious?

[late sonnet]

That would be way too cursed

[vernal turtle]

Hold up, lemme look

[vernal turtle]

CPU Model: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7
GPU Model: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe
RAM: 16.0 GB

It's Windows 11, too

[hybrid dust]

Yeah I think I've seen a few people specifically with Intel iris Xe GPUs having issues with the game, considering it's an integrated GPU I'm wondering if it is up to spec with minimum requirements?

[vernal turtle]

If Google isn't lying to me, then yea, it should be

[hollow cape]

It says it's better than the gt1030 but Intel integrated graphics are very bad most of the time a lot of issues with drivers and stuff

[hybrid dust]

Also keep in mind min specs are asking for gtx 10 series, not gt

[vernal turtle]

I don't know what that means

[hybrid dust]

It was mainly in reference to this message and how min specs refer to a gtx1030 GPU not a gt1030

[hollow cape]

Yeah but a Gtx1030 does not exist

[hybrid dust]

Does it not? Presuming min requirements might have a typo in that case

[hollow cape]

Yep it's a typo the minimum for every GTX series goes from 50 to 80

[woeful flint]

though we should consider that the devs likely gave a broad net for the compatibility specs to try and see how to better optimize the game for multiple platforms. The devs cant possibly test every system combination

[hollow cape]

But it's probably just intel messy drivers again

[hybrid dust]

Yeah makes sense, ig the fact that it was alternatively asking for an rx 560 as the AMD equivalent GPU threw me off

[vernal turtle]

I already updated my drivers and still same results, so Idk what else I can do besides wait for the devs to help out

[hollow cape]

That's why I dont trust intel graphics for anything more than just adding an extra screen

[hybrid dust]

Oop rip my message

[hybrid dust]

Not much besides reporting as a bug if you haven't already

[sudden pine]

(ok listen we need someone with more musical ability than me to make a 227673 Jenny 867 5309 meme clip on the guitar)

[vernal turtle]

Already did that, so I'm just waiting

[woeful flint]

i might be the only one here but i keep hearing '01189998819991197253" from IT Crowd but with the build number

[hollow cape]

Something that sometimes works is unninstalling the driver and let windows install one

[sudden pine]

is that the new emergency number song?

[woeful flint]

of course for faster response and more beautiful EMTs (or something like that)

[vernal turtle]

How do I do that?

[sudden pine]

.... 3

[hybrid dust]

Personally when I hear it I can't not think about 0800 588 2300 EMPIRE 🗣️

[hollow cape]

Search the word drivers in the windows search bar it should appear an option called devices or something and will give you a list of the devices on your computer click on screen adapter and right click

[stuck rose]

My moms small loptop was compatible to testing but my own old pc i so old so…
To not disturb mom and her little pc buddy i planned to buy a new laptop in case if i will receive key
I guess for now i saved like 1k $
But i still thinking about pc upgrade

[vernal turtle]

Gotcha, I'll do that when I get back upstairs

[woeful flint]

i believe in you! letting you know that the steam deck is a p comparable device to expensive PC's (not to be a shill; i just love the device so much)

[sudden pine]

ngl as the owner of a macbook pro that apparently is too hard to make games for i kinda want to get a steam deck so i can play stuff

[hollow cape]

I honestly would prefer getting a gaming laptop instead of the steam deck

[woeful flint]

mac os sonoma is getting some cool game porting stuff so hopefully us mac users can get some love, theres plenty of games on steam that run on mac (i play on a mac studio) and my steam deck for any other game that cant run on my mac lol

[stuck rose]

Im planning to buy some of Lenovo legion but not only for playing games purposes but for some work and stuff and maybe video editing
And i have a gamepad so… steam deck is not the thing i really need

[woeful flint]

oh that would be good too!

[sudden pine]

i mean, i have a few games but most of the indie ones i want to play dont have a mac port and I end up waiting for them to come to switch

[trim temple]

(since it's relevant) i might get a steam deck because i'm more comfortable with consoles than i am pcs the downside is a few games i have aren't compatible

[sudden pine]

(i really just want something I can play outer wilds on)

[hybrid dust]

I've been pretty enticed to get one they seem great for their price and I'd love to play pc games on the go while I'm ignoring the existence of gaming laptops

[stuck rose]

Btw having a special gaming device in russia right now is not a good idea
Anything may be a piece of block because you cant pay in any sony or whatever shop to install games

[hollow cape]

I saw that some people have 2 systems in the same hard drive so they have MacOs and windows at the same time sounds tedious to do

[woeful flint]

some games might not be steam deck verified but there are some things you can tinker with to add to the compatibility of playing those games

sorry sorry for ping

[sudden pine]

there's ways to play windows things on macbooks, but it's just kind of tedious

[hybrid dust]

Dual booting itself isn't terribly hard but a hackintosh (windows/macos pc) is kinda tedious

[woeful flint]

silicon mac you cant dual boot, but do i dual boot on my steam deck between steamOS and windows

[trim temple]

yeah, but i don't have many games on steam to begin with.. hoping sky is compatible with the deck so i at least have more reason to get that instead

also yall dont have to pile up 's on my behalf

[hollow cape]

I'm curious how many invites were send 100 50 25

[hybrid dust]

There are testers here using it on the deck and Devs have mentioned the deck before in the pc beta announcementts so it seems it will be

[woeful flint]

so far it runs pretty great on steam deck imo, they also are working on some additions to steam deck from the #beta-known-issues

[stuck rose]

I wonder more about how many people could not use them for some reason and didnt participate yet

[hybrid dust]

The only info we got on pc wave 1's size was that it was "far smaller" than their typical wave sizes

[hollow cape]

Same

[sudden pine]

well hopefully they got enough people who are willing to write stuff and not just get to play early stuff

[wary star]

i hope we all know with pc release comes 10 times more hackers, right?

is this known or

[hollow cape]

Well sky hackers are a weird thing here to be honest idk why people make such a big controversy about them

[vernal turtle]

It's against TOS to hack the game, that's why /nm

[hybrid dust]

Games are usually compiled upon release regardless of platform so the source files are obfuscated, tho ig it might be a little easier to try and reverse-engineer via a pc. I wouldn't worry too much for now

[late sonnet]

It's also discouraged to talk about hackers on the server

[hollow cape]

Like any other game but here the white knights that I honestly hate are sometimes very annoying about it

[wary star]

theyre cool when theyre not doing bad things like in every game but skys different i guess

anyways offtopic how are we gonna defend against them

[late sonnet]

That's not your problem, that's TGC's problem
Change the subject.

[hollow cape]

Well that's something TGC has to work on not us if the hackers get a way to get pass TGC security we can't do anything about it more than hope TGC acts quickly

[late sonnet]

If you see people being sus just report them when you see em in-game and move on

[split ether]

Hello everynyan are you guys able to collect ice lollies tickets after playing tag with chuckling dude spirit in forest? Because I could but now can't. Is it bug or normal?

[vernal turtle]

If you've already done 2 other activities, then yes, it's normal. If you haven't, might need to bug report it

[split ether]

Oh I see well sometimes I go straight to him without doing any other activities like jumping from the slide and he wouldn't let the ticket after we play . Guess he hit his head when he fell

[vernal turtle]

Yea, might need to bug report it then if that's the case

[sudden pine]

does the piano music in aurora stop as soon as you pick up a ticket?

[ripe parrot]

When are the PC beta codes going to start dropping?

[left quest]

They already did a few days ago.

[gilded basin]

they were sent out randomly so it's possible you just didn't get one

[ripe parrot]

Oh damn so they're not going to send any more?

[gilded basin]

!wafo

[gilded parrot]

🧇 Beta testers don't know when things will happen in Beta or Live Any Beta announcements will be made in ⁠#beta-announcements, and Live announcements will be made in #news!

[ripe parrot]

Rip thanks

[split ether]

Thank you 🕊️

[sudden pine]

ok really, what is the secret for the new piano music in the aurora concert lobby? i can't get it to come back

[spark lance]

I remember one time, during one of the original AURORA concert stress tests, I was sitting on the floor, and there was this group of ghost people with blue capes all just sitting behind me, huddled together. I now realize that that those were probably TGC devs behind me lol

[sage haven]

There's new piano music???

[sudden pine]

yea! I've had it a couple of times but then it disappears

[lilac solstice]

Is it possibly the tubes? They each have different sounds depending on which one is winning.

[sudden pine]

maybe? but then wouldnt it start again if the tubes switch ?

i got it to play again and it is during tubes lets see if it stops when they switch

oh maybe each of the tubes plays a different part of the song depending on which one is winning ?

[left quest]

I’m pretty sure the tubes change music depending on which ones winning! That’s probably what you heard. ^^

[sudden pine]

i wonder if it just stops playing if no ones in there which would explain it just suddenly stopping

welp now we're in a concert so i guess gotta find this out later

[alpine junco]

i wonder what anticheat pc version would be (or is) using

eac? battleye? their own implementation?

[hollow cape]

i hope they make their own some anticheats work weird

[wind crane]

I understand Anti-cheat, but like, Battleye?

I don’t think I would trust battleye

[sudden pine]

uh, aimbots are terrible in sky, obviously

blow kiss: pew pew pew

[wind crane]

Cant have other sky kids have tactical advantage

[steady flume]

ngl an aimbot for lighting candles would be amazing (as an in-game feature of course) because i always miss when trying to tap the flame icon

[strong sentinel]

You just stand there and honk awkwardly

[steady flume]

I swear when I started playing the flame icon didn't jump around like it does now :') but maybe I'm misremembering things

[trim spade]

Playing whakamole with the flame icon

[autumn elk]

it changed a while ago from being over a single candle to constantly swapping between candles i want to say just around switch release

[steady flume]

so that's what forest elder was doing in the temple cutscene

[steady flume]

yes I think somewhere between when the daily light system was introduced and switch launch! its the one bug I want to be fixed the most :')

[strong sentinel]

I think it started right after season of Assembly started. I was a moth back then and really had a hard time when it changed

[gilded parrot]

@strong sentinel, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[left quest]

Yeah Deroko cmon /joking

[vernal turtle]

drags Skybot back into the mods' basement

[wind crane]

-quick scopes pictures-

[obsidian plover]

but yea, I agree with the previous statements mentioned
crabs snipe in almost impossible ways, they must have some kind of unfair advantage

[sudden pine]

like what would Boundary Break even have to report on sky when going oob is practically built into everyone's normal gameplay

[obsidian plover]

outside the map they find 227673 in one of the areas XD

[wind crane]

”Here we see 40 Sky children in this hidden out of bounds area”

[sudden pine]

Here we find the Secret Picnic Zone: fun fact there's one in every map!

[steady flume]

I fall out of bounds in some areas even when i don't try too because some transitions from area to area are buggy 🧍

[wind crane]

“As you can see, everyone here is just standing around and talking”

[hard bear]

Last seasonal quest- how do you even do it? 🐸I’m stuck at the medicate dude vibing in the air

[wind crane]

Leave Doctor spirit alone

[hard bear]

I’m not harassing him ok, I just want him to give me what I need 🤓

[wind crane]

He’s a very busy man

Talk to the secretary spirit, he should book you an appointment

[hard bear]

I can give him a balloon krill hat 🎈 would that work?

To cover his cold, bald scalp 🤓

[wind crane]

Look if you have a prescription you should be able to medicate just ask the doctor sprit at the Spirit pharmacy.

Somewhere in the golden wasteland

[hard bear]

As a chronically ill person I’ve got many prescription medications in my pantries, any specifics what would work best tho? 🤓 I just want him to move maaaaan

[left quest]

I think if you give them some vitamin gummies they’ll move

[obsidian plover]

or an apple

[hard bear]

Would Haribo bear 🐻 gummies work too?

[sudden pine]

gummi peaches the superior gummi thing

[hard bear]

Sour ones tho? 🤓💅

[left quest]

Give ‘em a mix of five sour gummies and four regular ones and you’ll be good to go

[obsidian plover]

for some reason, the gummies made me want frosted sugar cookies from the store...

[hard bear]

I don’t think he’s convinced yet 🥺 he have not moved even an inch…

[sudden pine]

tbh all the sparkly aurora capes led me to a really serious gummi candy craving

[hard bear]

Okay but now for real homies. How do I politely make this chill buddy to move? 🐜

[sudden pine]

is this the monk guy not letting you wave at him to take his picture? are you sure you're updated to our savior build 227673, cuz he had that bug before but it got fixed (but maybe it's back?)

[hard bear]

Oh wait I’m a dumdum🤓 it worked 🎈 thank you!

[obsidian plover]

praise be, the build saves another!
