beta-discussion

[hollow compass]

TGC generally advises against binding their NFC products to a beta account, but you're welcome to try it for science...

[leaden oak]

Aaaa i need to eat more wafos man, can’t wait for Aviary season

[storm vessel]

my NFCs don't work with beta account. They used to work when they first came out. Was going to use thatskykid to candle run in beta but no it doesn't work...

[still tendon]

NFCs?

[steady flume]

yeah star pins don't work anymore in beta afaik

[storm vessel]

Works fine in live though,,,

[hollow compass]

It is just not advised to bind them to your beta account

[iron elbow]

in 43 seconds

[hollow compass]

Soon™️

[odd lintel]

no, we have no clue, the “in x seconds” is just a running beta joke

[spark lance]

Beta

[spark lance]

I tried star with the crab pin and doesn't work on beta only in live...

[woeful flint]

yes and to add it is only on mobile and switch, even if you have a NFC reader, STAR scanning is not built into the PC version of the game.

[peak cloak]

At this point I can not think about Sky without 227673 coming to mind hopefully new beta season comes soon so i can take my mind off the devastating loss

[woeful flint]

iconic

[sudden pine]

remember 227673?

[woeful flint]

pepperidge farm remembers

[haughty raptor]

The true and only build

[untold cradle]

stuff a candle on them, the classic way

[sudden pine]

i tried the number method the other day and it worked, if you're having trouble adding friends via a method, def. send it in as a bug report

[spark lance]

Hi

[spiral dock]

hello

[spark lance]

[delicate shuttle]

no doot?

[quiet obsidian]

well i mean, tgc are kinda busy with the encore stuff, i wouldnt expect a doot until after thats over

[sudden pine]

we havent even got candle conversion yet

[strong sentinel]

It usually takes the ending of season in beta + a few weeks of no updates before anything drops. That’s why we call this period of testing “beta doot drought”

[woeful flint]

then tokyo game show is exactly 1 month away if they are planning to be there too..

[idle nexus]

I send my QR code first so I don't need to worry about what to do 😆

If I end up with a link, then I use my old phone to open the link up and then use this one to scan the QR code.

[peak cloak]

I'm not expecting anything more than a PC beta update to release over the next week or two if I'm being honest, what with the Aurora concert and PC version being worked on, plus iirc new seasons tend to release in beta around a month before the live season ends though correct me on that if I'm wrong

[woeful flint]

it happens when it happens

[ashen tusk]

at least we can focus on the encore event without worrying about an impending beta doot

[peak cloak]

Finally won't have to be guilty for a bit about not logging into beta haha
I'm spending my free Sky time actively trying to convince as many friends as possible to download sky for the world record

[woeful flint]

and wishlist sky on steam

[peak cloak]

Oops, forgot about that part, will add that to the list

[lilac forge]

PC BETA! How's the game doin so far? Any update?

[woeful flint]

scaling is a bit bugged but im sure it will be fixed in a upcoming update

[shy ore]

I reported my 1st PC Bug report on BETA before reset wooo!

[odd lintel]

Next beta doot will be ||sometime this year||

[leaden oak]

iOS sky beta has 120 fps support and Native res support but on live it’s just regular graphics. Why is it like that ?

[agile hazel]

Because it's beta

[leaden oak]

But that was on 0.22.5 and when 0.22.5 came to live those features were missing

[vernal pagoda]

is it just me or these social lobbies dead as hell recently 🤯 im not merging with anybody at all shdnjsdnjndjsh

[agile hazel]

Content that isn’t in the Live version. The Beta often gets new content, features, and patches before they’re pushed into the Live version. Some content that gets tested in Beta never makes it into the Live version at all. Many factors affect these decisions, but feedback from our testers has a big impact!

[dry ibex]

Beta is always a bit lonely, and during beta droughts quite a lot of people take breaks!

Pretty normal for beta around this time

[spark lance]

I heard season of Moments about to end in Beta ver, right??

[odd lintel]

Yes, as we’re finish testing it’s unlikely the schedule of it ending in beta next reset is going to change, seeing as 0.22.5 has been shipped to live the other day with the final two quests.

[kind vigil]

hoping there'll soon be an update about the next season

[noble mantle]

I really think we will have to wait for a little bit to get there, considering everything that's coming to live, the PC beta, etc...

[odd lintel]

Expecting mid-September, AURORA stuff is going live next reset

[fallow marsh]

Any expectations about the next season?

[light panther]

days of mischief pls pls pls pls <3

[odd lintel]

||Cosmetics||

[fallow marsh]

Fr fr

[vernal pagoda]

i thimk after days of sunlight is lazy days righr? 🥹

[proper glen]

hey just a temperature check: i have a vague memory of seeing someone's beta screenshot of a triumph bugle. was that version of the assembly ult instrument ever actually in testing?
(curious since its model on the wall in harmony hall has been taunting me for over a year now)

[iron elbow]

yeah, it was, alongside the prophecy drum, but one day the both disappeared from harmony hall, never to be seen again

[proper glen]

well, i left a message about it in wishlist and ideas channel so
i'm not upset about getting violin and sax, just, we already have the models for instruments not available??

[steady flume]

yeah they've both been "pushed back to a later date" but it's been quite some time already :')

[proper glen]

i'd choose a shattering 'spirit' just to see how they make that happen. they weren't proper spirits and no emotes! what happens!

either way, we'll do the most metal thing of all
ASCEND THE ANCIENT LIGHT or ASCEND THE ANCIENT DARKNESS

[sage haven]

My beta character owns both that bugle and the drum. They tested several instruments before settling on what is now in live. I expect that if they ever release them my current ones will disappear and I won't be able to obtain the new versions.

[proper glen]

do they sound any different from the ults? bc the handpans differ in tone considerably (sanctuary is soft, triumph is brash)

[odd lintel]

Nope, no Lazy Days this year, event schedule for 0.22.5 is:

• AURORA
• Sunlight
• Style

[shy ore]

No Lazy Days means more candle running

[odd lintel]

DoStyle is lazy days for us this year, no need to grind candles for it… except DoMischief is soon after

[steady flume]

they do! I don't have the ult drum for comparison but the bugle sounds really different

[shy ore]

That's why we're working. No laziness

[odd lintel]

Also DoStyle was definitely intended as Days of Gay/Slay, Tio used the signature slay emoji “💅” for it

[shy ore]

Imagine if Rainbow Guide and Style Guide will collaborate to celebrate equality

[odd lintel]

The 3 guides are gay together, good for them good for them

[shy ore]

Style Guide as DoR special guest, when???

[warped geode]

Guys who is exited for the new season to come ? I expect it to come in the 25 of august as the season of Aurora began at this time in beta!

[dry ibex]

Oooo Karik thanks! Didn’t expect the HH drum to sound like that, but the Assembly & HH toot are quite ok in sound

[odd lintel]

That feels too soon… we’re still more than a week away from one month left in the season in live, and AURORA World Record Concert is on the 25th

[warped geode]

@odd lintel Ohh but was just expecting it to come on that date because the season of Aurora began at this date in beta. As well as season of flight.

[odd lintel]

That’s because it was around 20-30 days before the end of the season that was ongoing in live both those times, and there was no event on that day in those years iirc

[warped geode]

We’ll see.

[odd lintel]

Unless we see a teaser for next season before the 25th, then it’s unlikely we’ll see an update until sometime during the first or second week of September. We just have to WAFO 🧇

[warped geode]

[ashen tusk]

it's world record breaking time in live which means nap time for beta

[agile hazel]

A bunch of devs are probably gonna be at gamescon as well

[odd lintel]

And with the AURORA stuff, Gamescom starting, there’s very little time for TGC to do anything for beta, so seriously, just wait & find out, we need a break in beta anyway

[shy ore]

I think next month is teaser so you summoned me

[odd lintel]

well it’s going to be the last month for Season of Moments so yeah, has to be a teaser next month

[agile hazel]

I mean the teaser already came out. The aviary trailer

[odd lintel]

we don’t even know if Aviary IS next season, it’s just heavily assumed
It’s very likely to begin testing next beta doot, but whether it’s the next season isn’t confirmed yet

[warped geode]

What about next season teaser?

[odd lintel]

I have heavy doubts that Aviary is next season, it’s a huge thing, and next season is likely going to release October 15th at the earliest (lines up with the end of DoStyle) or it will release alongside DoMischief, so around October 24th.

That’s not enough time for a project as big as Aviary, which was only said to arrive to beta later this year, it’s live release could be ages away.

[strong sentinel]

I want Aviary to be a new home space

[oak juniper]

To add on to what Jade said, they announced that the beta would be late 2023 and with content for October and November for Live just leaving testing and yet to even show up on live. Assuming that Avery would be next is a rather foolish stance to take on it. With how ambitious the project has been described as, I personally believe that there will be another season before we hear anything about Avery (I could be wrong though so 🧇)

I Know that I was talking about this in dms to you but for everyone else

We know nothing about Avery outside of just the trailer that was seen

Additionally, Avery being a season would be quite a problem for moths after said season. As while areas being introduced to seasons is nothing new, this would be a problem in the long run as Avery is an extension (Or Possible Overhaul 🧇) to the Home area. And having seasonal spirits in the home feels just plain weird, especially around the time Moths discover seasonal spirits.

I personally think that Avery at most will have some sort of event tied towards it, as they has a consistency for returning that Travelling Spirits cannot possess. As while adding a consolation would be an option, it isn't one I personally see happening.

Though this could be wrong, We just have to wait and find out 🧇

[ashen tusk]

The events in live are for September, October - we haven't tested anything for November time yet

[oak juniper]

I thought DoStyle was november 🤔

[ashen tusk]

Also the fact the concept stuff we've seen for what is presumed to be aviary has included spirits, it's not a far cry that aviary could be a season - I don't know how they'd fit testing in for a whole season that isn't aviary, plus aviary, plus the remaining events for this year if that's the case too, it would be a heck of a lot of work

either way though I'm glad we're getting a break for now, having sunlight, style and encore testing together with the second half of moments was a lot for my lil brain

[oak juniper]

I personally think those are like the NonMemory Spirits in Village of dreams, such as the racer. Though we have no way of knowing
I still dont think Avery would be a season. though that could be wishful thinking (just like the people thinking avery is next season testing)

[hollow compass]

I think Aviary will be a new Home space of sorts, alternatively an area connected to it. From the trailer it looked like players could try on or even buy outfits, which would mean that DoStyle was a precursor

It would make sense that we have a more traditional IAP area or a place to try on old cosmetics, especially given the direction the game has taken towards more and more outfits being “locked” behind seldom occurring TS visits

[white sparrow]

Hopefully it’ll actually be an option to home to when playeras home from the realms of sky

[ashen tusk]

aviary season of style let's gooo

[strong sentinel]

Home space definitely could use an overhaul
Especially with recent updates to some areas they did this year

[ashen tusk]

what if they turn homespace into an actual home that we can customise, it could be a solo area like a lil hut we load into and we can invite friends if we want to or just have it as our own space to rest and then we go through to aviary to reach the realms

[vestal moat]

offer still available?

[hollow compass]

You mean like it used to be? (Minus the invite friends)

[ashen tusk]

oh it was a solo space in LA?

[strong sentinel]

Sea of candles…..

[ashen tusk]

OHHHH that was a cute area but the amount of friends I have currently feels like it would be a nightmare in reality

[hollow compass]

Yes, when you loaded the game you started in your own space with a sea of candles, ie your friend "constellation". Then you used a meditation shrine to spawn in the clouds after Isle and fly into Aviary

Obviously, the sea of candles was not a good design, but the separate space when opening the game is quite common in other games

[ashen tusk]

Something like that concept would be good to have now, it would be nice to just load into a quiet space and get your bearings first

[hollow compass]

Yes, or just not load in at all, if you just don't have the time to play or the energy to be social that day but still want to send your friends light

[strong sentinel]

Yeah, totally agree with “Imma here to share gifts but just wanna be left in peace rn thanks”
Even poor fer-al had its little customizable home space

Imagine a little comfy bed, all disorganised and filled with these plushies we’ve collected…
And having a space like that is nice to just sit around with friends and not be bothered by some… weird people who just there to annoy the light out of you

[ashen tusk]

the only place in game currently that you can truly experience being solo is asteroid right? and it's locked behind a limited IAP that's unlikely to return, so it would be nice to have somewhere accessible to ourselves that wouldn't feel out of place and if we did have the ability to invite friends into a little hut we get to customise would just be really comfy and satisfying - better to have it as a load in space that represents home too!

[strong sentinel]

But! It brings yet another trouble: a personal home space like that is a garbage storage for servers, sadly. Just like all the shared spaces (which are not permanent to save this data space in servers) and it requires…. A lot of new servers.

Bubba, who took half of you away imma fight them

[ashen tusk]

aurora did when she stole me to orbit

[celest ledge]

a personal home space would be cool and it would give a use to all the decorative props besides pictures so i def see it

[earnest pawn]

SAME I want a little nest

[celest ledge]

yess itd be adorable

[earnest pawn]

@glass sail I got server error too. I restarted the app and it worked fine.

[dry ibex]

@spark lance Aurora testing has ended in beta, I don’t think Aurora is going to show up again tomorrow - all focus is on the live game now!

[spark lance]

Oh...

[dry ibex]

Tomorrow is candle conversion day though, and also the day where we say goodbye to moments guide

[merry flicker]

I'm excited to not be poor anymore

[woeful flint]

big same

[sudden pine]

so close to 1200 but not quite

[dry ibex]

Oooo Pere well done! I think I’ve got around 900, maybe

[sudden pine]

set for another season!

[spark bison]

did the servers fell?

[stuck rose]

I saw tgc stuff, nasty and aurora chilling in the valley arena in live today so yeah

[broken bison]

Im broke everywhere lesgoooo

[strong sentinel]

Broke gang

[dreamy hemlock]

I would like to ask, where is the appeal website of the official email? Because my account has been blocked, I want to appeal, please point me to the way

[merry flicker]

This was my first beta season and oh, goodness. I was not prepared haha

[dry ibex]

And Aurora?????

[warped geode]

Aurora is still there in live ? Or nah

Aurora was chilling there ? 0:

[radiant drum]

If you’re talking about the Live game, you can reach out to TGC support through the link below:

[gilded parrot]

The wait time for a Support ticket may be several days, depending on the Support team's backlog. Your patience is appreciated!

[radiant drum]

Just keep in mind these are the Beta channels for discussing testing under the Beta version of the game. General questions are better asked in our #questions-and-help channel.

[dreamy hemlock]

thanks i was looking for this

[white latch]

Mind if I ask, What clothes goes with the white sneakers? The one from new aurora concert event

[white sparrow]

Auroras pants the shoes are actually based off of a pair she wore once

Now what we need are all the pants to have seperated shoes 👟 to maximize styling ability

[lilac forge]

Imagine Surpreme tag on the shoes and cost over thousands bucks

[white sparrow]

More like they’ll have to split the original prices of the pants and shoes into appropriate price ranges

[warped geode]

Imagine Louis Vuitton shoes on sky that costs like an unimaginable price maybe 100000000$?

[lilac forge]

Nah, LV won't cost that much, especially not in game

[warped geode]

What about Gucci ?

[lilac forge]

Maybe 1T USD for LV 🥲

[warped geode]

1T USD?

[naive jetty]

Y’all are talking about me ?

[white sparrow]

Stop giving tgc bad ideas

[broken bison]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
@vital bear man

Im sorry for that

[white latch]

The green one?

[warped geode]

Maybe ||actually no haha just kidding ||

[ashen tusk]

I have settled on 400 sc to go with my 400 regular candles, it's a humble amount compared to some of y'all very enthusiastic candle runners, but it's an amount I can be satisfied with

[broken bison]

Im broke on live, and im very lazy to get my sc in beta 😭😭😭

The laziness comes after I complete the spirits from the season in beta XD

[woeful flint]

im around 840sc on beta; i need this conversion lol

[white sparrow]

Probably but all of them look like they would be nice

[ashen tusk]

I'm very casual about collecting past cosmetics in beta, I won't stress run to get them since for the most part they don't require heavy testing, especially during events I can use spells to check clipping for past items and for new ones we have event tickets, so my 800 will probably last me until next conversion

[broken bison]

Im totally satisfied because the only item i actually wanted was the invisible cape ehehehehhehe

#beta-screenshots-videos message
Lets pretend nothing of this happened gentlemoths

[steel thicket]

What is this --> #beta-screenshots-videos message

I still don't know. Is it a regional thing?

[gilded basin]

those are the gift passes you can get by buying an adventure pass bundle instead of just a gift pass, they can be used for any season but you can only use them on friends

[late sonnet]

I've got near 1500 SC for conversion I am so heckin ready you don't even know

mostly because I feel like they're gonna throw another TS group in and I want to be ready if they do ngl

[woeful flint]

lol; i got so wrapped up in creator troupe that my beta grind fell off xD (also baldurs gate 3..)

[late sonnet]

I just don't want to have to CR in beta ever again
why go through double the routes I gotta run in live

[broken bison]

Do you think the final season of the year gonna be a small, medium, or large scale season?

[hollow compass]

In the past the final season has been a collab, so I would say something large scale in a wider sense of the word

[broken bison]

I dont mind if the final season gonna be smaller than Moments.

Its like that Season of Flight after Season of Little Prince.

And I hope we get our first look at the new Aviary in 0.23.0

[half kestrel]

Makes me curious if the aviary is gonna be a season area

[jade kayak]

Wow haha. The accepted QRs not disappearing was fixed in live but not beta

[lilac forge]

How's the PC beta going guys!

[jade kayak]

I doubt so. It acted as the main lobby for light awaits, I don't think they'll use it for a season. But WAFO for now
I'm thinking it may replace our current homespace

[half kestrel]

Me too, but I’m wondering if it’ll act as both
There seems to be enough space for a season story, like rebuilding the aviary from a time long past (hints at the aviary being a light awaits feature) or even to help the spirits hanging around the area with making a festival!

[jade kayak]

I like that idea haha. It does seem like a place where they'd host big events and festivals indeed

[hazy geyser]

Can I ask questions about beta items here?

[hollow compass]

This is the beta channel, yes

[iron elbow]

two things!

• passage quest hearts are free in both beta and live
• moments hearts are still free after reset!!
  maybe it's a new norm?

[odd lintel]

Oooo I hope so
Granted it only really matters to my beta account, since unless I take another break from live, I won’t be completing seasons after they end

[delicate mason]

I hope that's the new norm since we technically earn the hearts by doing the quest

Not that it matters to me since I get them during the season anyway

[iron elbow]

@spark jasper
the screenshot was taken after reset, look at the lack of the seasonal countdown

[spark jasper]

Ohh I see

[timber grotto]

Sanctuary is Eternal New Season soon?!?! /j

[shell basalt]

Wait, there's news about new season already?

[austere geyser]

There is no official news about the next season yet, but we can expect the 0.23.0 beta update to be released relatively soon since the Season Of Moments testing has now ended

Again, we don't know anything for sure, it's all speculation and hypotheses, the best we can do right now is wait and find out

[cedar turret]

Manifesting aviary

[sturdy meteor]

Ohh

[odd lintel]

Manifesting an awesome season to send-off the year

[languid bear]

yum yumn🧇 season of WAFO meal is back again. I'm looking forward to next season.

[spark lance]

I want beta updates so badly with wip.. I wonder what's next season-

[sturdy meteor]

Me too

[timid bough]

have more wafos, it will come soon enough

[agile hazel]

Need to start cr'ing at some point to burn off all the wafo calories

[scarlet birch]

Any Information about the next TS?

[zenith lynx]

Should be grateful shell collector I believe!

[scarlet birch]

When it starts?

[zenith lynx]

The last one just left so a little over one week

[proud coral]

Oooooo I forgot that’s it’s conversion day! Happy conversion everyone! :D

[zenith lynx]

It's conversion day? Wait lemme just log in on beta for the first time in weeks

500 sc converted to regular candles 🥰 now my beta hibernation continues

[spark jasper]

Can't wait for new season 😩

[vital bear]

awwww pato thank you

[spark lance]

I'm a new here (discord), I'm an Android player, and I'm interested in being a beta tester, where and how can i get an invite?

[cinder summit]

Why did the game become so bright

[half kestrel]

#beta-faq

[cinder summit]

Everything shines like stainless steel

[hushed nacelle]

can we still access aurora items?

okay thanks!

[scarlet birch]

Who's exited for the Nest TS

[tiny tiger]

Who's the next ts?

[iron elbow]

Grateful Shell collector

[scarlet birch]

everyone can someone tell me What to do if How to get beta in IOS

[jade kayak]

You read all about it in #beta-faq .

[violet kettle]

is ballet shoes seriously iap

[dry ibex]

No, you can read it in the patchnotes announced in #news. It’s 18 event tickets

[wind crane]

I didn’t light the live server on fire this time I swear

[spark lance]

Aurora did... She totally would.

[sudden pine]

genchat

Happy conversion day everyone!

☕ tgc devs today

[spark lance]

Sky devs handling the server throttle: This little maneuver will cost us 50 years of waffos.

No jalapeno Pringles tho... They don't need more heat right now.

[hollow cape]

They do the taste it's too soft and not spicy at all

[left quest]

I got 950 candles in total thanks to conversion!
I should be good until the end of next season (whenever that may be)

[strong sentinel]

I’m scared. What if instead of 10k people there will be much much much more when they start their world record breaking event 😭
And servers just die

[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.

[spark lance]

950 wad 💀

[strong sentinel]

Sky bot is pea deprived rn i guess

[left quest]

The servers are already dead

Retreat to beta 🏃

[hollow cape]

I dont think servers are going to handle the event
They struggle with normal activities

[left quest]

I can’t even go cause I’m in France

[sudden pine]

Fortunately there’s such a thing as adding more server capacity

[quiet obsidian]

running away from the rest of the server currently burning at 100mph

[hollow cape]

Well lets hope that extra capacity is enough because sky servers seem to run on terminal support most of the time

[sudden pine]

Skykids just have way too much love

[strong sentinel]

I saw a huge crowd but suddenly I’m alone hahahha

[oak juniper]

Beta chat unite
We're surviving the sky cotl purge of 2023

[left quest]

No crowd for you 😔

[spark lance]

I can't even, they destroy me.

[hollow cape]

Oof have you tried the habanero potato chips?
Their taste is so good

[odd lintel]

DRAT NOW I HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO MY ENGLISH HOMEWORK
Also man, the Wings of AURORA are $40 for me 💀

[spark lance]

I cant even handle 1g of wasabi.
Being close to a 400km radius of the sky servers would instantly vaporize me.

[strong sentinel]

The game crashed

[oak juniper]

it feels so surreal rn in a nearly empty beta server
with just a few remnants of skykids wandering around

[spark lance]

The happening is happening. (?)

[odd lintel]

This is the post-apocalyptic season I’ve been asking for

[oak juniper]

Sky:New Vault

[odd lintel]

TABLE JUST LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER SKY BESITE

[oak juniper]

lies 💀

[odd lintel]

YOU DIDN’T MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOU WERE JOKING ST FIRST

[oak juniper]

smh i will leave if u keep being a dingus

[odd lintel]

WAAAAAAHH

[tulip cradle]

Is there any word on the new season coming to beta?

[uneven remnant]

I suddenly lose my AURORA Headgear, is this only me?

[dry ibex]

In beta?

[uneven remnant]

Sorry i might be panic

[dry ibex]

That’s okay, is a cosmetic in the beta game not showing up for you?

Or is it the global game?

[uneven remnant]

In global game i'm sorry i didn't chat in right place 😭

[dry ibex]

No worries, head over to #questions-and-help! The people there can definitely help you

[uneven remnant]

Thank you so much

[chrome cypress]

There was the boat for spells in colosseum,during last aurora's test in beta?
Cause in live is no present, its kinda strange

[dry ibex]

Nope, the spells were only active during the season in beta.

There were Aurora Ticket spells available in the boat at home during the Aurora Encore testing, but there weren’t spells for the shoes

[gilded parrot]

underneath darkened skies, there's a light kept alive

[proud coral]

next update should be the next season + possibly days of mischief testing! How do we feel about that what do you all want to see?

[ashen tusk]

SPOOKY AVIARY SPOOKY

[proud coral]

Oooouh I forgot about a potential aviary update

[woeful flint]

i need Aviary!

[hollow cape]

I would go to the hospital once aviary shows up ill get a happy attack

[ashen tusk]

sorry I got excited, I would like to see aviary but also the spooky times, I can't see it happening but imagine if we got halloween time in aviary and it was all cute and trick or treaty

[proud coral]

I was talking with some people and my most wanted item for mischief would be a broom prop that we can ride

Similar to the new boogie board, you could control it and fly around?

[woeful flint]

YES PLEASE

[proud coral]

It could even fly using your current winged light so it isn’t super OP against using a cape.. I just want to fly through the realms as a little witch 🧙‍♀️

[ashen tusk]

That would be amazing yes!!! i also think we should get a lil sledge during feast to slide down the slopes on also because of boogie board having fun means of travel like a broom would be so wonderful!

[proud coral]

One of the greatest parts of Sky is the travel yeah, they should make fun things to use while flying 😭 not just capes but cool particle effects or things to ride or or or or or!!! I just want fun silly things to play with

[earnest pawn]

Angel/devil wings and halos/horns, full body cat suit, toga style dress, gladiator costume, bat plushy you can hug, a hang upside down like a bat emote. Just a few random ideas off the top of my head 😂

[woeful flint]

mummy costume when

[ashen tusk]

still think particle effects on krill cape should have been a thing

[stuck rose]

All i want is witch hat that i can wear with my buns from fortune pack

[ashen tusk]

free the witch hat from the confines of just being a spell

[earnest pawn]

KRILL PLUSHY!!!

[proud coral]

For real just give us the witch hat finally 😭 make it an event currency item so there’s less confusion between the IAP version and that one and we’re good!

[stuck rose]

If it goes for currency can i refund my iap one ?

[steady flume]

I wonder if a skeleton-themed mischief cosmetic would be too lore-breaking

[proud coral]

OOOOH a skeleton would be so cool! One thing I love about events over seasons is that the cosmetics don’t really have to be lore friendly.

Like there’s no way Santa exists in the Sky kingdom and yet we have a Santa hat

[earnest pawn]

Ooooh sarcophagus/coffin prop you can lie down in. Egyptian style cosmetics too pls haha 😂

[sudden pine]

Ghost hat which is just a sheet + wings

[stuck rose]

Invisible pants that makes you look like a skeleton

[proud coral]

I’ll take anything ridiculous please!

[stuck rose]

And a skeleton mask inspired like from coco

[sudden pine]

I really want a 237673 Easter egg 🙂

[agile hazel]

Days of 227673 when

[steady flume]

that's true, didn't think about that
skeleton pants would be so cool then, and maybe even a skull mask

[earnest pawn]

I'm just imagining a tonne of little skeleton sky kids running around like the scene of Jack skelington omg doing the cowboy whip emote too 😂

[dry ibex]

I just want 5 crabs stacked on my head. Crab hat!!!

[woeful flint]

omg that would be adorable

[dry ibex]

Imagine the crabs just go from baby to beeg crab, similar to the baby crabs we see in night coliseum

[hollow cape]

Imagine that the spooky prank is TGC makes us think that we lost all our candles and we see our candles slowly going to 0

[languid sandal]

"makes us think"?

[hollow cape]

Yeah like they make our candle count go to zero so we think all our candles are gone

[languid sandal]

"think"? nono thecandlesaregoneforever

[white sparrow]

Unicorn cosmetics please 🙏 pleassseeeee I’ll even draw up the sketches myself just please I want unicorn themed stuff heck it would be awesome for angel wings to be added in too just so an alicorn can exist

[sudden pine]

I have read that the absolutely up and coming thing is Axolotls

[ashen tusk]

AXOLOTL MASK

[steady flume]

axolotl mask with axolotl smile :D

[sudden pine]

aw i can't do that smiley? 😐. (weird, skybot)

tbh, passage ultimate mask kinda axolotl-esque

[warped geode]

Guys what do you expect to see in the new season ? Any thoughts

[barren mist]

purple cosmetics please ive been waiting so long

[ashen tusk]

was about to say what if we get a cape for mischief as if there aren't already 287469295 capes in game but my brain meant what if we get a cape 🧛

[warped geode]

Imagine a BTS collab with a lot of purple cosmetics ? 💜

[barren mist]

i want a purple pants/outfit most of all, that would be amazing

[proud coral]

next zodiac animal is a snake so we should be getting some scaley items shown around November

WAIT ITS A DRAGON

[barren mist]

a scaley cape would be interesting

[proud coral]

Sorry it’s actually a dragon still scaley and cool honestly

[barren mist]

almost the same but much much cooler

[hollow cape]

I would love that there aren't many purple cosmetics and the ones we have are not that good

[barren mist]

actual wings as a cape?

[ashen tusk]

dragon cape with spikey tail

[proud coral]

Like the Phoenix cape kind of but more beastly wings and a longer tail?

[barren mist]

dragon wings as a cape with a spikey tail is what im thinking of

[naive jetty]

And it’s gold

[proud coral]

Little Dino claw slippers

[barren mist]

or BIG slippers

imagine if days of style 2024 had only oversized cosmetics, that would be funny

[stuck rose]

We already had fortune dragon hat 🤔 should we get another one?

[hollow cape]

I would love some gloves for our sky kids that we can use with different outfits so its more unique

[ashen tusk]

what if they give us mittens too but they're just oversized beasty hands

[barren mist]

and maybe wristbands or something!!

man beta could not prepare me for the sheer quantity of shuttlekids in the coliseum in live

[hollow cape]

I would love a version 2 of the crab call cape with a similar design of the ultimate cape from the season of performance

[warped geode]

Hey Nastymold imagine having dragon horns as a head accessory

[barren mist]

i would love more capes in the shape of the darkness cape

[hollow cape]

Imagine if we could customize the colors of the pants like having rhythm pants but with a red shirt or something

[warped geode]

Okay Hear me out @proud coral Imagine if one day we have a collab season, “Season of NastyMold” with a lot of green cosmetics and maybe a nature themed area or whatever

[hollow cape]

It would be awesome but in my personal opinion i dont like green that much

[strong sentinel]

We need more capes with particle effect… imagine a cape with its edges like a dark smoke
The dark edgelords skykids with hearts of gold

[warped geode]

Imagine peas as a head accessory

[barren mist]

It would be awesome if at some point TGC released a set of cosmetics which we could customise all the colours of, but I don't think it will ever happen

[hollow cape]

I would love that having something truly unique but just hope they dont make an IAP of that or I would hate them forever

[barren mist]

If they ever did something like that it would 100% be an IAP, but it would probably be way too difficult and/or something they probably wouldn't want to do

[warped geode]

The thing that would be amazing is if one day TGC decide to create a new contest/challenge where sky kids gets to draw their cosmetics i mean cosmetics concepts and then we the community would vote for the best one and TGC adds the voted art and adds it to the game.

[dry ibex]

There will always be IAPs in the game, it’s what keeps Sky running ad-free

However since EC I feel like TGC have given us some really cool IGC items (glasses, shoes, capes, etc)

[hollow cape]

I hope it doesnt happen like what happened with minecraft mob vote people using bots and stuff like that

[dry ibex]

#wishlist-and-ideas-archived Yuuki, that would be super fun!

[warped geode]

Im gonna wishlist that now

[barren mist]

TGC have been expanding cosmetics a lot with all the new mask tabs and shoes and such, i would love to see at some point choosing and combining different pants and shirts of different outfits, and i hope at some point they change many existing cosmetics to have individual boots

[hollow cape]

Maybe its just me but i haven't like any of the free cosmetics TGC has released since the end of season of dreams they just dont feel that well made anymore

[visual walrus]

How do I join the PC Beta?

[hollow cape]

At the moment is not possible anymore unless TGC send more invites

[delicate shuttle]

no doot?
i don't have notifications since my gadget doesn't support it so

nothing new?

[sudden pine]

i think we're very unlikely to see anthing this week while the gamescon thing is goin on

[strong sentinel]

Next season usually won’t drop right after another ended. We really need to wait until the builds are ready for open beta

[spark lance]

The ballet shoes are nice...

[plush nexus]

I'm Soo exiting

[gaunt dawn]

I wanna play sky so baaad

[wooden bluff]

Then play Sky?

[dry ibex]

Kev if you see a cone honking at you it’s me

[short yacht]

Has anyone in the PC beta program put a MIDI keyboard to the test in Sky? I'd be willing to plug mine in!

[woeful flint]

me multitasking

[sudden pine]

i was also honking at kev and chook

[quiet obsidian]

LMAO did you see me in my little shared space? i was hanging out with my little sister before the cones gave me a headache and got me too overwhelmed

[sudden pine]

you were, in fact, hovering in the air

i switched to my ipad and now i am in a different server

[quiet obsidian]

YEAH i popped a little tent thing down in the air and made a lil hangout spot on it with plushies and a green tent and manta projector

quiet room on a budget

[zealous mulch]

why did the aurora event have to end before the season did 😔

[dry ibex]

Because we were such good testers that the event was ready for Live already!

[left quest]

Full of screenshot bugs and server errors

[wanton yacht]

Servers just prefer us beta players /lh

[steel thicket]

I hope Season Candle Conversion Day™ Beta Edition is good for you all

[late sonnet]

1.6k candles

[scarlet roost]

Alguien sabe para que sirven los tickets de aurora

[late sonnet]

sorry but the server can only support english
and I recommend you ask your question in #questions-and-help!

[scarlet roost]

Excuse me, I know little English, I wonder what the aurora tickets are for

A thousand apologies thanks for the information

[woeful flint]

This is for live but they unlock a new Emote on the Aurora guide tree which gives you the Cure for Me dance emote.

[scarlet roost]

@woeful flint You are very kind, thanks for the information

[odd lintel]

Wandering Musician wandered to the wrong chat

[woeful flint]

Mistakes happen and thats okay!

[scarlet roost]

A thousand apologies to everyone, I don't adapt to discord, thanks for being so kind

I'm too old for this, thank you very much for everything

[sudden pine]

never too old! everyone is a kid here 🙂

[scarlet roost]

@sudden pine You're very kind

[broken bison]

Next week doot (hopefully)

[warped geode]

Hey Pato, are you exited for the next beta update ? because I am ! I really wonder what will be the next season !

[broken bison]

Im sure what you are more excited about is the grand return of the Aviary muehehehehe

Or imagine that the actual next season is Season of Aviary

[warped geode]

**Gotcha Pato **oh yeah for sure I am exited for the grand return of the aviary !! I missed this place so much since light awaits .. and it would be an amazing way to introduce Aviary in a season

[woeful flint]

pc beta got an update today 0.22.6 229206

scaling is still broken, it seems like there was an attempt but its still way too big

[foggy pebble]

Oooo

That's good!

[scarlet birch]

Who's exited for the upcoming new ts?

[broken bison]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

@woeful flint The XBOX controller gives me hope that next year they MAYYYYYYBE would put Sky on the Microsoft Store (Xbox, PC and Cloud)

[woeful flint]

really seems like it could be a BIG possiblity!

[broken bison]

And also how it Runs on a such overkilled machine like the Mac Studio???

[woeful flint]

It runs pretty great! But it is just the ipad version of the game~

[broken bison]

Y'all 1% of Sky on Mac players deserve a true Mac port

[woeful flint]

Hopefully Mac testing too!

[broken bison]

Hoho I mean... Sky is the spoiled child of Apple jskssksjkssk

[brave grove]

On the bright side. My crashes seem to be gone. Only tested one so far but thats one progress blocker gone for me.

[simple wind]

is there screen shot bug in beta too?

[woeful flint]

not that im aware of, seems to only have effected live due to the hotfix patch that seemed to mistakenly broke some things

[simple wind]

ohhh, cause I take in-game screen shot just now, but it become pure white, so I'm here asking

[woeful flint]

ah then unfortunately it might effect beta too, i havent tested myself

[gray anvil]

The camera bug should not be on beta, i was able to take pics yesterday

[keen locust]

._. nope. btw, net ease server hasn't that bug too. The exclusive bug of live

[simple wind]

okie

[hollow compass]

If a bug appeared in beta and the team didn't have time to fix it for Live release, it is usually stated in the patch notes and known-issues. So it's not really relevant to ask here about a bug happening in Live, if that makes sense

[simple wind]

OHHHH okie, thanks for the information

[late sonnet]

also anything that happens in netease isn't related to global
it's run by a completely different company

[jaunty cosmos]

Now that Season of Moments is over it’s time for Season of Little Nightmares inhales cope juice I want it so bad

[odd lintel]

Next season possibly will be a collab season so

[jaunty cosmos]

How is there a likeliness of collaborating seasons? /genq

[white latch]

Collab who, Beyoncé?

[steady flume]

probably end of year = collab season
but I doubt it because collaborations are usually announced much earlier

[agile hazel]

I like how we all said to make the aurora tickets glow so they stand out at night coliseum. But that did nothing cause everyone glows

[jaunty cosmos]

Well either way the next season WILL be Season of Little Nightmares because I say so and I am all seeing ‼️ MARK MY WORDS!!!

[winged mango]

hello everyone, who want to Eden? I want go to Eden with a friend.

[steady flume]

didn't tickets have a ghost-free zone before? the firefly effect thing
it feels like thats completely gone now

[soft pebble]

It only take effect when you are super close to it

[steady flume]

oh yeah that makes sense :') doesn't make finding them any easier then

[odd lintel]

I meant possibly, was typing quickly

[fringe light]

Until now I knew that I can't send out only emojis comment

[gilded fractal]

I guess that the Season of Aviary is real (permanent season) may have a new candle/ticket

just a wild thought ehe

[fringe light]

If it is a collaboration I hope it will be Ghibli

[white latch]

Season of village: everyone can build and decorate their own home

[jaunty cosmos]

You can just search the date in the little discord search button thing in this server and usually there’s some messages with the locations :3

[gilded fractal]

i hope so, My Neighbor Totoro

[white latch]

I bet it’s about finding treasures and house decorating theme, let’s see if these are true

[strong sentinel]

Why is everyone hoping for any collaborations..? I don't remember any being promised. I would recommend to not spread "the next is probably collab" because we would be informed about it on TGC yearly QnA. We can say "I wish TGC make a collab with "XYZ" in the future" but just so people wouldn't take out statements without context don't say "the next is probably collab".
I understand we have wishes but random people might get too high hopes. Be careful with your words guys

[white latch]

It’s ok to wish, everytime you wish it won’t come true

[fringe light]

That's true though 🤣
It's not like I am thinking of steak as dinner tonight but I knew it wouldn't happen

[languid bear]

I also deleted my wish from the nickname knowing that krill mask doesn't become real😔 /j

[fringe light]

Tgc's decisions will never intervene/Decide by any people besides of the devs.

[white latch]

anyway, IM DEFINITELY GET THAT JEANS, it goes good with the white Jays

[rugged kindle]

I forgot, have the event stuffs/items from beta been officially announced?? cuz I don't remember if it's no longer spoiler for the main channels here

[white latch]

Yes

[rugged kindle]

phew thanks!

[odd lintel]

It’s literally the same as people saying “next season is/probably is Aviary” and it’s not a bad guess of a collab season soon, given the timings of AURORA and TLP, though maybe a collab season as the first or second season of 2024

[agile hazel]

Not really considering we already know that Aviary is coming to beta this year and there's been no rumours/hints of a collab

[soft pebble]

I just found out that you can get the 4 tickets in coliseum without having to be in the party server (so much easier with no one around)

[ashen tusk]

what if next season is a sky collab with light awaits

[naive solar]

the next season is a collab of tgc artists and programmers

[ashen tusk]

tgc by tgc for tgc in collaboration with tgc for tgc by tgc

[strong sentinel]

Collab seasons are announced early at the beginning of the year. They might not specify who they are collaborating with but at least they let us know we can expect it "in the second half of the year" how it was with Aurora season originally.
At least we know "Aviary" is confirmed as a concept. Will it be season or just an overhaul of existing location - doesn't really concern me at this point
I'm just worried people will go on Instagram and start crying "beta folks say next season is probably collab!!!" when in fact it was not confirmed anywhere by the devs. Imagine random people being disappointed if the "rumours" are false

[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.

[strong sentinel]

Leave me be, skybot. I've been in beta for years now

[odd lintel]

It was with AURORA? I really don’t remember a hint at a collab at the start of 2022

Anyway, I said what I said because of precedent, I’m tired and can’t word stuff properly right now, I meant it could be based on precedent, not that it will be

Besides, it isn’t my fault if people can’t understand what people actually mean, that’s their own fault to take people’s words of speculation and treat it as fact.

[zenith lynx]

That's true, but sadly people have a tendency to do exactly that. Not your fault at all but that's why we need to be careful. Theres a reason why we're not allowed to make beta price charts for example because even with a disclaimer that prices in beta can and often will change, some people would take it for a fact and then be disappointed when it's a different price in live. Same with speculation of a collab season. It's very unfortunate that it happens but yeah

[gilded parrot]

@zenith lynx, 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.

[viscid sundial]

They did confirm there was a collab season way before season of Aurora was officially announced. Here's an article where they mention it https://www.thatskygame.com/news/the-curtains-rise-for-season-of-performance but they brought it up even before March I think. Can't find it though

I don't think the next season will be a collab season if they haven't mentioned anything about a collab this year

[light creek]

On a completely unrelated note, live season is pretty close to the "30 days left" mark, yall know what that means

[odd lintel]

Oh wait now I remember

Everything aside, I kinda want a Valley season either next season or sometime next year, though AURORA was fairly recent, but that didn’t stop Flight being a Forest season only one season after Assembly, granted it didn’t feel much like a forest season
Either Wasteland or Forest seems likely though… which one, idk

[zenith lynx]

Agreed, valley has such good seasons! It'd be epic to have another one, but I kinda want a wasteland season too

[left quest]

Skybot needs a bonk 🗞️

[elder obsidian]

id really love a valley season too i feel like it has sooooo much potential for a more lore focused season

[shy ore]

I'm waiting for a Forest season for nature eats WAFO Waffles

[white latch]

i bet the next season is about building a house

[marsh solar]

I'm ready to pay the rent >.>

[shy ore]

Not Shared Space 3.0

Oh wait! How could I forget the puzzle season nuuu

[leaden oak]

8 days left until “30 days left in this season” (live)

[reef spire]

Looking forward to the next new season very much.

[spark lance]

YOO I KNOWETHE NEXT SEASON! IT'S SEASON OF AVIARY! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[shy ore]

🧇 Woe! WAFO Waffle be upon ye!

[warped geode]

‼️

[hybrid bobcat]

ook im probably way out of this conversation but i do remember 1 mention of a collab after aurora - in a survey they asked a question about which other people youd like to see collabs with… probably unrelated to an announcement however , it probably meant nothing

[hybrid dust]

i feel the need to make this eminem edit now

[strong sentinel]

It just means they are open for collaboration
I don’t really remember but I think they start working on each season a couple years prior to any announcements anyway. So the contracts are made early. The rest is history

[chrome cypress]

Have the developers already said how the return of the cosmetic IGCs (that now are in tickets) will work in future?
They will in candles or still in tickets?
(Like summer capes)

[hybrid dust]

it is done #beta-screenshots-videos

[strong sentinel]

Old cosmetics which were available with candles are still cost candles. Only new cosmetics they present cost tickets

[radiant drum]

The initial announcement for the event currency said tickets will only be used for new items, so it’s likely they will return for candles in the following years too!

In the future that’s a better question for #questions-and-help

[chrome cypress]

So next year tickets one of this year will still be purchase only with tickets?
Isn't this too much? There will probably be new one too

[wary star]

FISH

Please tell me atleast one person gets this

[strong sentinel]

This is something I wouldn't know, sadly. Maybe there's going to be more tickets to collect (like 2 counts per one picked up ticket)

[subtle rampart]

hello

[oak juniper]

honestly I'd love an eden season
it's such a interesting enviroment and we know nothing abt it

[naive jetty]

There are literally 0 spirits in Eden how is this gonna work as a season?

[marsh solar]

Add spirits >.>

[marsh solar]

Like they did in prairie cave :3

[trim spade]

They add new spirits every season. That’s kind of the whole idea for new seasons

[sudden pine]

morning beta, hope you are doin well

[delicate shuttle]

heheheheheh yes hehehehe

[spark lance]

We already sort of had an Eden season already

[hollow cape]

Eden needs to be updated

[soft pebble]

I wonder if aviary is gonna be at home space like old beta or somewhere else

[hollow cape]

I hope that

[stone latch]

Hey, anyone know why I can't sign up for the beta? It says it doesn't recognize my Discord ID but it's copy pasted from here. Is it because Discord updated profile names recently? I'm trying to sign up to the PC version

[hybrid dust]

I can DM you your user ID to make sure youre copying the right thing if u want

[stone latch]

That'd be appreciated, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but ya never know

[white sparrow]

I would absolutely love to be able to access and explore a preexploded eden castle and the maps that lead up to Eden as well but then they’d have to create an entire secondary eden realm XD but that might not be impossible what with season of passage being a thing now

[wary star]

it actually was recently! They made a skip very slightly harder and another extremely easy

[hollow cape]

But a true update not that they just made the no return part more annoying

[wary star]

(ground) flying rock skip in first area and beginning of second area (clip through wall, fly over map in clouds)

[stark knoll]

Why can't we put the shoes over pants with shoes anymore?? 😓

[hollow cape]

No idea but I dont like that change

[stark knoll]

Me neither

[dry ibex]

Because it’s a bug, and bugs get fixed

[hollow cape]

Well that "bug" for me was better than what we have rn

[stark knoll]

Also they've kept some bugs in live, this one was harmless... Now you can only wear them with shoeless pants and those are all near the same color

[dry ibex]

Well you can always head over to #wishlist-and-ideas-archived or one of the feedback channels for shoe stacking purposes, although I do think that it’s pretty normal it got fixed

[stark knoll]

Nice 😊

[drifting pond]

When is the next beta

[warped geode]

WAFO 🧇

[spark lance]

I wonder... why does everyone keep saying the next season is season of aviary? that doesn't really make a lot of sense, having a whole season based around a floating island with gates to all the realms sounds awfully familiar... cough cough flight cough cough and besides, having a whole season also built around a home space overhaul (potentially) just sounds like a... not great idea

like- what about the moths that'll join in that'll wind up being overwhelmed by the new season stuff in their new home space

[raw wasp]

I dont think aviary will replace home tbf. It seems more like a thing you’d have to have a good handle on the game to access. A secondary hub

also, assuming all the concept art is relevant to the aviary revamp, wouldn’t it be kind of weird NOT for it to be the setting of the next season??? Especially with the spirit concept art

[delicate shuttle]

cuz we know

we have a third eye

👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️

[spark lance]

ok the not replacing home thing makes a bit of sense, but the concept art stuff... who's to say that the concept art is for multiple things, not just for aviary? the spirit concept art could be for a season that's being worked on at the same time as aviary

[hollow compass]

I’m sure the mechanics for seeing seasonal content will stay the same, so as not to confuse moths

What spirit concept art have you seen, btw?

[spark lance]

oookay i take back what i said i'm now kinda in on the aviary season stuff. i don't like the idea but it's more than likely now. in the vault of socials, the spirit concept art has a map of what appears to be aviary in the top left corner, and for some other aviary concept art also in vault of socials, there's 4 (maybe 5) glowing blue spots that could be locations of spirits

[hollow compass]

Huh, I must have missed that. Will go check

I think the blue spots are players

I couldn’t find the map you mentioned

[naive jetty]

#vault-of-socials message

[hollow compass]

That’s not a map 🤔

[ashen tusk]

If you scroll up a bit to the spirits concept art

[hollow compass]

Oh, duh me

[languid sandal]

Is it impossible to unlink a Nintendo account in beta? I try and try and try but it just seems impossible.

I press to unlink and select "Try another account" (since there's no option to AGREE to unlinking) but when I go to sign in via Nintendo account I get the "Create a new account" prompt?

Is this a device specific bug? Or am I just doing it wrong?

[naive jetty]

Probably because there is no beta for switch

[inland wadi]

What are the jeans pants from?

[dry ibex]

Days of Style!

[spark lance]

Guys when is the next beta?

[lilac solstice]

We don't know. But you can get a role to be pinged when they need new testers in #beta-faq

[delicate shuttle]

i guess we will have smth next week

[frank slate]

Just looked at that spirit concept art. Hope we get a working magnifying glass! That’d be fun

#vault-of-socials message

[eager harness]

Does anyone have the rotation of the Aurora tickets still?

[half kestrel]

#questions-and-help This is a live event now

[steel thicket]

Yeah, I'm thinking of it as a secondary Home base. You enter thru the original one and maybe there can be a permanent entrance to Home+ in the original Home

The surfboard breaks the Office Obstacle Course I love it
Why build stuff to jump on when you can surf

[hollow cape]

Yeah personally I would like if they give us the choice to use aviary as a new home ofc only if you're already an old player and let the actual home for new players that are just starting the game

[shy ore]

Pls no 🙈

[hollow cape]

Why not? It would be your choice to have the old home or aviary

[shy ore]

I'll eat 1.2k waffles to find out

[spark lance]

Just went from the shortest natural height in beta to the tallest natural height

[rich spindle]

[paper stag]

hi I dont understand how to get beta testing

[dry ibex]

Take a look at #beta-faq and get yourself the beta invites role! That way you’ll be pinged whenever there’s a new invite wave

[paper stag]

Ah okay thank you so much 😭

[smoky tide]

The next event for testing will be days of mischief, right?

[paper stag]

im so lazy to install beta testing nvm 😭

[dry ibex]

You also can’t do that right now because there are no open slots

[dry ibex]

Maybe, hopefully I really hope so

[smoky tide]

Return of the krill kid

[half kestrel]

Probably, but that'll be in a few weeks to a month I assume

[odd lintel]

Plot twist: it’s actually going to be Days of… well apparently “Rage” according to my keyboard

[wind rose]

Having the aurora wings iap in beta means we can see the concert any time, just like in live, Right?

[iron elbow]

if they dont turn them off again

[sick cosmos]

So uh, I found some sort of a room under the main entrance to the Cave of Prophecy. Anyone knows what this cave used to be?

[strong sentinel]

You mean the one with the floating island in the middle?

[celest ledge]

i found that a while ago too but the prophecy caves has a lot of small strange cavities you can crawl into

[idle nexus]

Wow, the aviary looks so spacious.

[cunning hedge]

I need betq

[strong sentinel]

Welp, world record beaten :DD
Congratulations, TGC!

[woeful flint]

The servers holding on for dear life rn

Hi guys, does TCG plan to support Sky on Linux with proton? If I receive a beta key for PC, can I try to use it on Linux?

[static bramble]

I remember in a patch note they mentioned adding button prompts for the steam deck, which runs linux. So I'd assume so

[tawny hornet]

If you have steam ig there's no reason it shouldn't work

[strong sentinel]

Their goal now is windows
If anything, you can write them about making a Linux platform sky in #live-feedback

[static bramble]

The big concert is done
The days left in live season are in the thirties.
Given precious patterns, I'd say a new season is gonna begin beta testing soon

[dusty sequoia]

Cool

[warped geode]

Guys we did it !!

[dusty sequoia]

Linux can run windows apps using a tool called wine. Steam have a specialized wine version to run games, called proton. I don't want to make a Linux version request, I just want to know if they plan to support Linux with proton, and so steam deck

[hybrid dust]

steam deck is supported and we've had some beta players here using it, i would guess thats likely working via proton unless they say otherwise

[steel thicket]

Me trying to learn Chibi Fall and see what sorts of OOB shenanigans I can get into while waiting for new stuff to come to beta

[wary star]

the only solo oob trickcyou can do now is chibi fall

they removed all of them

atp just remove chibi fall

[boreal thistle]

don't say that, what if they do

[wooden bluff]

Beta?

[sudden pine]

record over, now i can come back and hang out in here instead of general chat wheeeew

[simple acorn]

I signed into beta through android and I want to use it on my ipad now, does anyone know if that's possible?

[sudden pine]

you would have to wait for an ios invite wave to go out

[hybrid dust]

youll have to wait for an iOS invite

[simple acorn]

[sudden pine]

but if you do get into ios i think you can then link your beta account

[wary star]

they probably will

[agile hazel]

Pc got announced to come before end of the year

Tbh that was expected

[hybrid dust]

yeah i thought we already knew that lol

[spark lance]

Can someone do an outfit request for me?

[sudden pine]

we're not supposed to do outfit requests in beta (if not beta, there is a whole channel for it)

[spark lance]

Oki

[strong sentinel]

To be fair PC ports are quite tricky usually. So maybe it's for the best they didn't estimate the exact date of PC release so no one would push them to their limits...

[spark lance]

It is beta ...days of style beta

[agile hazel]

Pc port:
5th sassy return:

[sudden pine]

skykids can save their candles!

[warped geode]

Pc port: ||taking its time||

Sparkler parent: when is my next ticket to sky kingdom? 💅✨✨✨✨ 👁️👄👁️

[trim spade]

Sassy has the best mask tbf

[warped geode]

I prefer my beloved rhythm ult mask, wbu?

[agile hazel]

Penguin mask #1

[trim spade]

Maskless

The glowing eyes in most masks bother me and look kinda creepy

[agile hazel]

I'll happily take your anubis mask

[vocal widget]

Heyy what do you guys think is comming next in beta? Moments is over but now theres nothin to do

[viscid sundial]

probably next season stuff soon

[vocal widget]

Aiyy I hope so

[agile hazel]

227673

[trim spade]

There is normally a few weeks of down time between seasons on beta

[vocal widget]

True but i still need more stuff!

[delicate shuttle]

probably halloween cuz it's a perfect time now to test it

and new season.. maybe aviary (big chance)

they won't return our lovely aviary for no reason so next season will be in that location with 90% chance

i am sniffing it.

sniff sniff

[strong sentinel]

Whatever it is, season or a home space overhaul - I’ll accept either way

[agile hazel]

Don't think anyone has posted screenshots of the concert on pc yet. Want to see how crispy it looks

[iron elbow]

the official tgc livestream was done on a pc, so you could check it out there

[sudden pine]

they had a sneaky freecam

[woeful flint]

it runs just like beta imo, but scaling is still off on steam deck 😭

[agile patrol]

so

quick question, when is navigator returning to beta

[scarlet birch]

When TS coming?

[hybrid dust]

beta doesnt get TS before live, in fact its the opposite way round

[scarlet birch]

People said It might be Grateful shell collector

[woeful flint]

we are 7 TS behind in beta and they return the same days live does

[scarlet birch]

Not sure but that's what they said🤔

[iron elbow]

in about 13 weeks, iirc?

[agile patrol]

i know that, i just wanna know when he comes

[scarlet birch]

Based On YouTuber It should be this august 30

[agile patrol]

i got time to 🛌💤
thanks

[hybrid dust]

oh wait is this bc navigator came in live recently 🗿

[agile patrol]

yes

[hybrid dust]

ah yeah makes sense, i dont remember spirit names 🗿

[agile patrol]

did i explain myself badly im half asleep

[scarlet birch]

eat

[austere geyser]

List of upcoming traveling spirits in beta

• Grateful Shell Collector
• Admiring Actor
• Sparkler Parent
• Spinning Mentor
• Gloating Narcissist
• Prophet Of Fire
• Lively Navigator

Pretty sure it should be accurate enough

[hybrid dust]

nah not really i just mistook you and that other person with the fancy un-pingable name for people asking when the next live ts is coming as we get questions like that a fair bit here lol

[lilac solstice]

I forgot some of these spirits have shown up and are now arriving in beta

[soft pebble]

Guys does blocking warp not work with you?

[naive jetty]

If the season of remembrance was in vault after that isle then prairie ,then the next season will be definitely in forest

[lilac solstice]

Hm that would be cool. But we don't know for sure.

[zinc pasture]

Hey guys non beta kid here, what’s some new stuff that’s coming soon if I may ask

[iron elbow]

yeah we are currently testing an official collab with mercedes, not sure how it happened, but its definitely real

[woeful flint]

LOL, that is the best thing ive read all day

[zinc pasture]

Jokes on you idk what Mercedes is

[iron elbow]

I didn't know either, until one day I saw a car parked in the middle of the butterfly fields

[molten sun]

everything new that we have tested so far has already been announced, I think we’re gonna test the new season in september though

[ashen tusk]

beta is in sleep mode currently, they'll wake us up soon but we won't know when until they come in blasting the doot doot 🎺

[hybrid dust]

soon™️

[delicate mason]

Yeah I love the new exhaust pipe cosmetic and the steering wheel mask, it's so cute

[iron elbow]

look, I know everyone's sad we didn't get to meet chinesmith last week, but I think 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was a pretty good TS in it's own right

[zinc pasture]

What’s the ult for this Mercedes season

[sudden pine]

an antenna

[lilac solstice]

You can now be your own radio station

[steel thicket]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
The trees at the exit of the coliseum? Hmmmmm I never knew what they were for in the first place

[twin isle]

AAAAH I can only eat so many wafos. NEW SEASON CRAVINGS CANNOT BE SATISFIED BY 🧇 ANYMORE

[dry ibex]

The trees are probably removed to make room for the 10K skykids or so people still have a view of the coliseum / the stage

[half kestrel]

Probably just added for decoration, cause after each quest something different is added. Its probably some representation of one of the stories in the Aurora quests

[noble hill]

Here's hoping that Mischief testing drops sometime next week!

[oak juniper]

I personally want a longer version of the mischief cat hair

[woeful flint]

ridable broom, please

[white sparrow]

Cat ears seperated pls as well as a seperated witch hair since adding shoes seperated some from pants

[late sonnet]

I don't think cat ears would be separated tbh
as a standalone item it would be too weird (looking at how sky items are made in general to be separate)

[white sparrow]

But but bald with cat ears is so cuttteeee

[warped geode]

WAFO we still don’t know if it’s in September or before..

[molten sun]

that’s why i said “I think”

[warped geode]

I know. I just said WAFO 🧇

[molten sun]

it could be october for all I know

[warped geode]

Omg

I couldn’t wait that much because I can’t contain my excitement that much.. I need new beta DOOT and new things to test out and share feedbacks

[molten sun]

I just need them to come back with a great season to finish the year, it’s been a while since we had one that didn’t feel filler 😮‍💨

[late sonnet]

I've a friend who wears the abyss side braid with GW elder hair sometimes just a singular braided hair strand out of nowhere
like I get it but also unlikely since each year they usually do different themes so who knows

[trim spade]

We need a sky x Gucci collab. You get a belt for $250, new glasses for $743.99, and a purse for $5000. But you can fit Foxie in the purse, and the glasses tint Sky a bit darker. The belt doesn’t do anything but it’s in the capes menu

[tidal aurora]

thats so real

[agile hazel]

And then the same items but for 20 candles and they are slightly off colour with no logo

[woeful flint]

nooooooooooooooooo

[whole plank]

scary collaboration

[woeful flint]

reiterating my sanrio x sky collab in here, i would give anything for it... ANYTHING

[pearl coral]

How about sky x barbie 💅

[whole plank]

has anyone seen "TGC QA1" at the concert coliseum? I'm wondering what happened to their name afterwards.

[celest ledge]

i saw a couple tgc qa (quality assurance testers?) in the big beta tests

[woeful flint]

yeah i believe it's just accounts for the quality assurance team for testing purposes

[whole plank]

I know that, but I was wondering if they were given names to participate in Live.

[leaden oak]

Ahh can’t wait to hear this

|| Greetings testers! We have an update ready!

Sky-Beta v.0.23.0 build 235735 is now available to download on Android, iOS, Huawei and Steam.

New season ! season of avi- (wafo hehe)||

Ah imagine 👀 its not real YET

[light creek]

Tho ||the next season might the last season this year, and aviary was announced for beta testers later this year (wafo tho)||

[leaden oak]

It’s definitely aviary i mean duh they said “coming later this year” and Aviary will be the last season of this year !!

[chrome ivy]

The project Avivary is the Season

[light creek]

I wonder if aviary will be our new home

[agile hazel]

Well, it was specifically 'coming to beta later this year'

[light creek]

Waffles 🥞🥞🥞

Longest 7 day wait of my life

[whole plank]

In an interview with Japanese media, Jenova stated that "a major update is planned for early next year," so aviary may have to wait until after the next season of testing.

[light creek]

I wonder if we would have to build the aviary like forgotten ark (don't "wafo" me)

[leaden oak]

No, it’s just a new place and it won’t replace home

[languid bear]

If so, it would feel like turning empty nature into a crowded village

[leaden oak]

Oo Also October is nearby I believe that along with new season there’s gonna be days of mischief testing too !!

[sand dawn]

I would feel like keeping it empty nature and inviting more creatures

[steady flume]

happy cat hair drama anniversary time flies

[agile hazel]

We need to get tgc to stop timed tickets for future events. It's already annoying for busy people, even worse when the schedule or tied event is bugged and people receive nothing.

Putting some tickets in obscure locations is fine if they want to encourage exploration. Timed tickets aren't.

[steady flume]

the timed ones are also almost impossible to figure out on your own. especially now that you can't even see the one in coliseum, if you don't have access to any guides then you're probably never gonna find them

[zenith lynx]

Yeah I don't like that we have to rely on guides posted on social media for these tickets. It's the reason why I stopped bothering with shards after they became irregular after the season ended. And the only reason why I knew about the anniversary & Aurora tickets was because I played those events in beta.. I would've never figured it out on my own, not on time at least. Wish they would just stop with these timed tickets because they're too confusing

[agile hazel]

Being made to wait 15 mins to increase playtime is one thing. Having to spend 1+ hr sometimes on multiple days is another

[hollow compass]

I remember someone here saying tickets were the best thing ever, because they would reduce play time 😑

[steady flume]

the next two events don't have any timed tickets so maybe tgc realized that they're really unintuitive we'll see how the other events will go though.

[hollow compass]

I have only seen more confusion and frustration with yet another currency being added and trying to work out the how, where and when of them

[agile hazel]

Regular tickets are still fine, timed tickets never were

[hollow compass]

I'm still of the opinion that we don't need almost 10 different currencies in one game

[steady flume]

I'm always torn between loving tickets and absolutely hating them :') i was against them when they were first introduced (i wish we had the option to buy with candles if we want to) but i still wanted to see how they'd do in live before making my judgement. i was so close to fully accept tickets but then anniversary happened 💀

[zenith lynx]

Regular tickets would be okay if they're consistent across all events
Like if for every event you can get x tickets per day you'll know exactly what to look for without needing to rely on guides
Bonus tickets on weekends should also go because you again need guides or people on social media to tell you about those tickets

[agile hazel]

I believe tickets themselves are fine, it's just timed ones cause nothing but frustration. There's plenty of improvements to be made, like making them stand out a lot more so they can be seen froma distance. Also that black hole thingy that sucks up shuttcocks ontop of the ticket should have its radius increase.

And also a consistent amount of tickets each event, not fluctuating between 5-12

[steady flume]

agree!! seasonal candles are also confusing for new players but at least they're consistent so you get the hang of them pretty fast

[late sonnet]

slides in
a friend did some math and you can still get all the emotes even if you didn't know the 5th timed ticket exists so it's oke

[zenith lynx]

That's good to know because I've been feeling slightly burnt out and just cannot be bothered waiting for that 5th ticket rn 😅

[late sonnet]

Over 12 days (by deiticidal)

WITHOUT BONUS 10 TICKET

• 5 a day = 60
• 4 a day = 48

WITH BONUS 10 TICKET

• 5 a day + bonus ticket = 70
• 4 a day + bonus ticket = 58

Level 1 = 12 tickets
Level 2 = 33 tickets
Both = 45 tickets

I've some friends who just spent their AC on aurora tickets instead to finish off the emotes and never have to go back

[hollow compass]

See, I don't think that's a good outcome, if people literally do anything to get it over with quickly so they don't have to go back

[late sonnet]

? AC is a finite resource and is harder to earn than candles because you can't buy it with money
I don't see the problem here

players would still have to spend time outside of the event grinding for that AC

[hollow compass]

It's not a good design if your customer doesn't want to stay, but prefers to use "an easy way out". The whole point of all these new currencies and events is for us players to spend more time in the game. TGC has failed, if people are looking for ways to not spend more time in the game because of these new things

[chrome cypress]

"Spend more time in game"?!
Do you think everyone can do that?
How about people like me that have a job? Or students at school/Uni?

Tickets is supposed to help save candles, especially for new and middle players so they can save candles for Ts, Ts groups,their Basic game costellations and for friends.
No for make people stay more inside the game.
Also only way for get eden candles is do eden run one time at week, so is a limited resources, you can't buy it.

[iron elbow]

I personally bought out the aurora tickets because I get incredibly overwhelmed by the festival tech and dont want to build my schedule around the ever so fluctuating concert times
wont be doing the same for style and sunlight, because those didnt hurt my eyes, were clearly visible, and weren't scattered around a huge bustling stadium

[zenith lynx]

This is true, if it werent for tickets I'd be spending more time on candle runs. Now I can slack off since I only get what I want from TS. I love the tickets for that but man do I wish timed tickets were NOT a thing 😫

[gloomy depot]

Wow

[frank slate]

I had to explain how the daily bonus ticket works to someone who hadn’t seen it to collect it. The announcement says: “and one that appears if you join one of the new activities held before a concert starts,” so the person thought it automatically appeared after you participated in the minigames, rather than spawning at set times regardless of what you’re doing when you’re in the night coliseum. I know they want to encourage people to participate in the games, but not being transparent about how that ticket works means people miss collecting it, even when they do participate.

[hollow compass]

No, I don't think everyone or even the majority of players can spend more time in the game. That wasn't my point either

The whole concept of mobile gaming relies on the player spending as much time (and sometimes money) in the game. I'm sure this isn't a surprise to anyone. TGC is no different in that aspect; they too are running a business that needs income to survive

[late sonnet]

I copy pasted my looooooong guide for my friends and they said like
having the context definitely helped more to understand how the heck it worked between the timed 5th ticket and 10 ticket
patch notes generally aren't very descriptive or helpful in that regard tbh

[chrome cypress]

May i remember you that during the development of Sky, the team was focused on create and go in a opposite direction respect other game that eat ur time and money as you said.
Is all depends how the company manage.
Also isn't like TGC no ask players to stay in game already like any other game.
Like Genshin ask you play it every day ( as a f2p) if u wanna obtain new characters, Sky ask you to play every day to farm candles.
The point is no add another farm (tickets) to the one we already have (candles).
Tgc already earn lot of money from iaps, adventure pass, and candles packs, since now they are more expensive that a year ago, no really think there is a money problems now.

• will close this talk, kinda useless if i talk and the other person no even understand my point*

[hollow compass]

It’s fine if you want to make a point that is not related to what I’m writing, but you don’t need to ping me then

[woeful flint]

[sudden pine]

o/ kev

[timber grotto]

[unborn root]

So, Days of Mischief and Aviary will be the next update?

[lilac solstice]

We have no idea. Beta testers know as much as you do too.

[agile hazel]

More importantly, will watermelons be in the next update?

[unborn root]

Sky is like other games
but I think Sky has a lot of that
what is the term: FOMO "fear of missing out"
and Sky for me is the game that most consumed my time
Season pass is something very valuable in which most players are afraid of losing the Items
specifically the Ultimate gift.
plus limited events too
what hooks many players to the game
in addition to the time-consuming and repetitive farm

[warped geode]

Aurora likes watermelons 🍉

[woeful flint]

watermelon prop when

[warped geode]

Watermelon head accessory when ?
||a watermelon helmet accessory to be more clear haha ||

[woeful flint]

OKAY THAT WOULD BE FUNNY

[spark lance]

Wait i don't see any shared space at grandma?

[warped geode]

[woeful flint]

It might be a bug, it's also present in live, I would say report it to the proper channels!

[woeful flint]

i immediately pictured those cats/dogs with melon hats and i could not stop laughing at picturing a skykid with one on

[wooden bluff]

Hi Kev!

[ashen tusk]

they increased the restrictions of shared spaces at social wax areas so grandma and geyser can no longer be crowded by them

[chrome cypress]

My talk about sky being different was about its early days of life, now yes is basically like other fts games.
Idk, i think the Fomo is different by person to person.
But yeah like u said the Fomo is more heavy here, because sky no take back some specific items (like yes ultimates) different from other game that usually take back previous limited items as a iap.
This could be easily fix but will make some people mad here.

[unborn root]

And unfortunately this is necessary in Sky, as Sky is a game focused on cosmetics and not on gameplay most of the time
and Cosmetics almost becomes an obligation because there are several groups using specific cosmetics that sometimes ignore players who do not have such cosmetics
and that's sad.

[strong sentinel]

I'm usually just all red and honky
Anyway, I suddenly felt a mighty need for "tropical island" season with fruit like cosmetics themes and props because of all the watermelon talk haha

[woeful flint]

I dont think it is intentional. Do you have where they said they increased the restriction of shared spaces at social wax? I scoured the patch notes, hotfix notes, and beta update notes and i couldnt find anywhere where they increased the restriction of shared spaces in social wax areas.

[strong sentinel]

I think I saw a comment about restrictions somewhere around beta chat when someone mentioned they couldn't make a shared space near grandma

[hollow cape]

They do some changes without telling people

[ashen tusk]

The restrictions have been planned for a while, just not implemented immediately - if you check back in #letters-from-the-devs you'll see Wes mentioned a while ago that being able to grill in social wax areas wasn't gonna last forever

[hollow cape]

Honestly idk why they did such a thing I mean it makes players experience worse they could at least reduce the candle prices if they are affecting the ways we get wax

[ashen tusk]

It was causing problems for some players (probably console based) when they wanted to participate in social wax events - console players tend to struggle with button interactions as is so I would imagine having shared spells everywhere when they were trying to burn wax balls was a nightmare

[warped geode]

Oh yeah for sure

[hollow cape]

I'm a console player and the button is an issue yes but you can just show your candle and your sky kid will lit it automatically

[ashen tusk]

That's not a particularly helpful way to have to play though

[woeful flint]

I checked the channel and there is no where it says that it wont last forever, even if console players are having an issue, they can adjust the priority over what gets highlighted when a character is moving their camera.

[hollow cape]

Since they reduced the amount of candles we get every day I remember you could easily get more than 20 before and candle prices getting higher and plus farming becoming more slow its not helpful at all

[agile hazel]

It's improved but shared spaces and memory spells are still just cluttering areas. Even worse if they're around social wax spaces, thye just get in the way

[ashen tusk]

They haven't reduced the amount you can get a day?

[strong sentinel]

The shared space at grandma usually was convenient for me. Just a few additional pots and fire sources to burn the buns on the table for wax without letting them disappear into the wall
But I can see how it impacts some other players…

[hollow cape]

Yes they did before the new wax system was implemented I used to be able to get over 22 candles easily now doing the same run sometimes I barely get 19 candles

[ashen tusk]

You've never been able to get over 22 candles unless it's out of season though, the highest is 21.5 if you grind to the max

[agile hazel]

And that's with all the new wax sources which werent' present before the chevron system

[lilac solstice]

It's actually this message. Bubba must have meant the dev updates channel
#quick-dev-updates message

[ashen tusk]

OHHH YES SORRY

[woeful flint]

submitting feedback RN 💨

[ashen tusk]

Sorry about that Kev, clicked the wrong channel pop up when I typed #dev

[hollow cape]

The fun stuff is slowly disappearing when TGC gets rid of the few stuff that keeps the game entertaining for me ill probably just play because I used money on this game

[woeful flint]

no worries! though it is from march, i personally dont believe it was ever intentional to just up and remove it with no word about it. it could have been changed by accident with all the bustle from the record breaking event, and stabilizing the servers. im typing up feedback now about it anyway. they sent like 5 pc live updates over the event too

[agile hazel]

pc live what?

[hollow cape]

And my biggest issue with this game having a version that has features that no other platform the game is available its and always going to be the thing I hate the most about Sky regardless of the reasons I don't think it's ok that just a small group has the possibility to enjoy certain stuff

[agile hazel]

Are you talking about Nintendo and Journey pack?

[hollow cape]

No IOS exclusive features im ok with the packs

[agile hazel]

Well that's just down to differences between ios and android. Not to mention a lot of early game things being hardcoded

[hollow cape]

And as I said regardless of the reasons that version has those features the experience it's not equal

[woeful flint]

Yeah! Being a troupe member I was able to get access to PC Live and they pushed so many updates to it

[proper glen]

uh there's only beta rn right, for pc???

[woeful flint]

Beta and live, some people were able to get PC Live~ it's just beta with a few hotfixes lol

[ashen tusk]

the magical few

[agile hazel]

So that's what that guy was going on about yesterday in qnh. I just thought he was crazy

[proper glen]

no wonder someone got the questions and help channel all confused

[lilac solstice]

Kev is a content troupe so they probably got access early

[ashen tusk]

the livestream got a keyboard jumpscare from nasty on pc sky

[woeful flint]

LOL yeah they pushed a ton of updates to PC live, likely since they are demoing it at Gamescom

[sharp crescent]

hello hello, I have a question 😅 I used same email for beta and global version, and the first time that I played sky, I was using an android device, and now I switched to IOS, I have no problem logging in on the Global version to my current/main account, just wondering how can I do that on Beta on my IOS device now? In the channel on beta, they said it can open or access on ‘TestFlight’ app yet when I download it, it’s asking for a invitation code or link for beta players to have access. thank you sm for answering ✨

[woeful flint]

is this referring to the iOS headphones when the user is playing music in the background? thats the only exclusive thing i could think of but it's only cause the iOS software has the ability to keep track of those things and android/other platforms do not

[woeful flint]

Unfortunately you will need to wait for an invite wave to open up for iOS Beta, see #beta-faq and make sure to turn on the ping to be notified for #beta-signup-info

[hollow cape]

Not only that like portrait mode aspect ratio for tablets and yes as I said regardless of the reasons for me a game having exclusive features for a version its not good and the experience it's not equal for everyone

[woeful flint]

To my knowledge portrait mode is only available on iOS beta..?

[proper glen]

sorry to return to an earlier subject but as a console player, lemme tell you it's not as simple as changing your camera angle. when players are in motion, the priority button changes even if you are trying to move your camera to keep up. at granny's i could end up lighting a player, opening a lit player's menu, opening my friend's menu, lighting a light source prop, joining a player in the shared space wax grill they found just on the edge of the tree entrance, etc

playing with my switch undocked i can use the touch screen and get around this though. play station players probably can't

and i feel like wax grills defeat the point of social wax events. everyone just goes blue and idle, leaving anyone not in the shared space to clean up the stray wax orbs. it's lonely

[hollow cape]

And prolly will stay on IOS only software and hardware problems are not the issue here my point is those differences shouldn't exist

[ashen tusk]

Portrait doesn't exist in live and there's not been any mention for it to be going to live either?

[agile hazel]

Were the headphones a thing before android port?

[ashen tusk]

They might have been

[woeful flint]

I'm a controller player so i completely understand regarding the targeting, these things can be changed by adjusting the priority. I think they would at least say something in the patch notes for any changes they made on shared spaces and removing it from social wax areas.

I dont think it makes grilling wax worse, i personally think they are extremely helpful when im running wax events but i run them multiple times a day so i could be alone on the convenience that shared spaces in wax areas were for different types of players.

They also lowered the priorty a player would have when highlighting someone in a shared space and you to join them as well as brought in the player you are holding hands with

[proper glen]

'adjusting the priority' doesn't matter when ppl are in motion, i'm afraid. and not everyone is quick on the button draw. i'm glad you have an easy time with it but it's not a universal experience

[hollow cape]

Actually it will matter if the game ignores all the players and only shows the burn button it will matter because it will prioritize the burn option over everything else and if they use a button to switch between burn interact with players or anything similar the controller experience will be better

[proper glen]

Are we talking about this in a present or future tense? because as far as I can tell right now that doesn't happen (in live I mean)

[hollow cape]

Im saying that increasing the priority will matter because it will focus only on one button instead of all the others

[woeful flint]

I didnt say i had an easy time; I'm just not bothered by it as much as others it seems, I can hit A/B to close the friendship tree or even hold Y/X on controller to pull out your candle to light buns/orbs

[ashen tusk]

Went to see if I could find any reference to when they were introduced - didn't find anything that specific, but #android-questions does have a pin from 2020 from Ktjn mentioning iOS headphones and the android limitations for a feature like this, because of this I feel like potentially they were in live iOS before android port was launched

[proper glen]

I never did think to hold down the Y button 🤔
It's all single pressed stuff for the most part

[woeful flint]

its actually something not mentioned but it's something ive noticed in my years of playing; it will open the friendship tree BUT it will still bring out your candle

[hollow cape]

I noticed that a couple weeks ago it comes very handy but yeah we need a priority system being like
1 burn or light stuff
2 click and interact with items or stuff
3 players and friends
And a button that allows us to select which one we want to prioritize

[woeful flint]

feedback!! definitely something the team should work on, I agree

[proper glen]

~~if we get rid of the controller guide mapped to ZL on the switch and use the button for smth else ~~
I mean, I think the left right directional pad buttons could be used to cycle through priority button options. Since the up and down ones are devoted to camera zooming
Like being able to use the left right bumpers to pass between shared memories

[hollow cape]

Yeah and you could adjust it depending on your situation like if you're candle running you choose prioritize burning and light candles or if you want to hang out with friends you select prioritize players and friends

[woeful flint]

that would be interesting though i would literally just leave it on burning candles >.>

[agile hazel]

Put precision movement back on that like it used to be

[proper glen]

it's on ZR tho? the lunging animation thing? for chibi fall, right?

[hollow cape]

They could implement a two button thingy pressing Zr and Zl at the same time

[woeful flint]

i still find it hard using lock on to be precise, half the time im just jumping around lol

[proper glen]

We literally just need L targeting
If we just use the button, normal use for l targeting, then we have a salutation

[woeful flint]

scratch that- motion controls /s

[agile hazel]

Yeah but it's used for flight toggle as well. It used to be on ZL before there was a button map

[hollow cape]

Does pressing the left stick does something?

[proper glen]

nope, clicking analog sticks does nothing

[hollow cape]

They could use those for that function so they have a button for it

[proper glen]

I really don't get why the button map isn't just in the settings menu, if you go to that menu in all other games to find out the settings anyway. the L button isn't mapped to anything either

[hollow cape]

L is to claim and show the candle count

[proper glen]

I forgot about that

[hollow cape]

Zr doesn't seem to do anything im clicking and nothing happens

[proper glen]

Discord keeps getting rid of my send message button 😭

[agile hazel]

press zr and move

[hollow cape]

Nothing happens

[oak juniper]

idk when it'll be a thing but if a future season doesnt reference The Two embers i'll be so dissapointed

[proper glen]

R button does it

[agile hazel]

Oh, I don't know switch layout so yeah

[dry ibex]

For anyone wondering, it’s about the new trailer for the animation project which Miri pinned here: #lore-discussion-spoilers message

But since this is announced I think speculation goes in the Live channels

[oak juniper]

yeah
I was just abt to send that, ty sof

I for one can't wait 🥺

[woeful flint]

i just watched it 10 times and im ahhhhh

[proper glen]

I mean, there was a article in Spanish that I only got to see brief YouTube short about, but it was saying that the devs intend to have 6 more years of seasons? I imagine it would come up
https://youtube.com/shorts/CfL3fIp2ijE?feature=share

[woeful flint]

I think there will be a few animation projects Two Embers being the start of the story? Omg to have it incorperate in game too-- AH! would be amazing

[proper glen]

problem is I don't speak spanish. My friend was telling me about it

[woeful flint]

Okay so there is going to be a Sky 2.0 update?? for next year? https://za.ign.com/sky-children-of-the-light/181384/video/sky-children-of-the-light-breaking-a-world-record-gamescom-2023 at the 5:14 mark

[proper glen]

i can't move the playback tracker, actually need to watch the video

[dry ibex]

I’m dying omg

[molten sun]

probably Aviary

[agile hazel]

I hope 1.0 and 2.0 reworks the game to remove all the hardcoded stuff and improve QoL

[hollow cape]

Same im praying for that

[molten sun]

when Aviary was announced they also said that there would be a rework of the game’s beginning to make it more user friendly towards new players if I remember it correctly

[woeful flint]

what if they move to unreal engine

[hollow cape]

That would be awesome with unreal engine 5 being so optimized sky would improve a lot

[molten sun]

everyone’s phone and switch exploding instantly

[dry ibex]

AAAAAAAAA I can’t wait for 0.23.0 atm

[woeful flint]

You say that but Pikmin 4 was made with unreal engine

[agile hazel]

Still nothing compared to 227673

[molten sun]

reminder that Aviary is still coming to beta this year

[hollow cape]

Actually once they switched to unreal engine 5 fortnite performance on switch improved a lot soo if sky could use that engine a lot of limitations would be gone

[molten sun]

im just joking
(not much on the phone part tho lol)

[hollow cape]

Well sadly the only way android version gets better its a total rework for that system its the only way

[proper glen]

I just want more clutter more visual clutter. So many areas feel empty, especially the butterfly fields.
i want ENVIRONMENT

[molten sun]

my only hope for Aviary (regarding stuff that we already have in game) is a complete revamp of the returning spirits system

[woeful flint]

i think you mean a more lived in environment, and i completely agree

[hollow cape]

A yes sky feels empty way too empty I feel like I'm the only survivor in a post apocalyptic world

[proper glen]

We've just been prancing on one's and zero all this time. I want them to put dirt in my switch /jk

[molten sun]

also more candles in new places!! candle runs should be interesting again instead of the mindless grinding that it has become…

it feels like TGC is against players getting more light/candles tho

[agile hazel]

I mean, that's kinda what the lore implies

[proper glen]

It can feel empty, but like. We can eat food. But there's not a single toilet in the entirety of the Kingdom of sky.
The only one is in the secret area that doesn't count

[woeful flint]

spinning on the post apocalyptic, i want a Flower crossover 😭

[hollow cape]

Yeah I know I realized that once I send the message but sky feels so empty now

[proper glen]

hundreds of 10k festival tech servers Just to be lines to the bathroom in the secret area

[hollow cape]

Not gonna lie if that bathroom send us to a room full of water I would gladly wait in the line

[woeful flint]

so the Gateway in the office is actually just an elaborate bathroom? You gotta parkour to the toilet

[proper glen]

When you have daily motivation to play the game, and you're going through the same areas over and over and over and over.
You start noticing how empty it is. There's some areas that have just been forgotten, like the closet area left over from the light awaits iteration after the broken refinery in GW

[hollow cape]

My only motivation is to not waste the money I regret using in sky that's the only reason why I keep playing the game is boring for me now

[proper glen]

I feel like the default realms need a face lift. That's what I'm saying. and a 2.0 version really makes me feel like something big like that is possible

[agile hazel]

There's a chance project aviary might include that. Wouldn't seem like a long term and 'big' project if it's just aviary

[hollow cape]

Reading that makes me feel we have been playing an alpha version of the game

[woeful flint]

i dont think big project is just the aviary imo

[proper glen]

I remember playing the Beta version of Minecraft. I don't even know what version number it's on right now, so, we just might be.

[agile hazel]

We aren't even in 1.0 builds yet

[hollow cape]

What comes after beta alpha right?

[barren mist]

alpha is before beta, tgc devs would alpha test before releasing builds to beta

[agile hazel]

We're currently in the beta beta

[proper glen]

if true, i've been an alpha tester on switch all along. take THAT nintendo!

[hollow cape]

Beta²

[proper glen]

oh. so alpha is dev version before beta tester version?

[barren mist]

because 1.0 of sky isnt even released yet, if that means live is beta, then tgc devs test alpha of beta and we test beta of beta, and live have beta, beta-inception

[hollow cape]

Sky feels somehow like an unfinished game like what happened with the forest the game wasn't finished and they were slowly developing the game

[agile hazel]

wait

if we get 1.0 next year, that means another chance of 227673

[proper glen]

What is the significance of that number

[hollow cape]

Then we live in beta² and live is beta in disguise

[warped geode]

Maybe the doot will soon appear in the next week like this Monday IMO

Huh what are those reactions

[agile hazel]

doot, updoot, update

[proper glen]

like trumpet doot-doot 😅

[warped geode]

I’m so exited for the doot

[barren mist]

yeah, alpha is done by devs usually in a testing environment (the dev servers probably), usually using the code and such to locate issues and check if everything is working correctly, and after devs think the alpha testing is done, they usually move into the beta phase, where beta testing is done by a select group of people usually (us) where we test it as it is
its what my software design curriculum says anyways lol

[proper glen]

ok ok so if that's right then...

[warped geode]

DOOT DOOT 🔴

[proper glen]

Live is the gamma version

[hollow cape]

Sky beta program be like
Alpha 》Beta² 》live (beta in disguise)

[barren mist]

there is no gamma in testing, only alpha and beta, gamma is for radiation

[proper glen]

I am making a joke based on the order of the greek alphabet

[dry ibex]

A doot on Monday? I really doubt I’m not sure we’re gonna see the doot in August

[hollow cape]

I feel like I'm about to pass out it's so hot here

[barren mist]

in that case, live is actually gamma because it is so radiant

[proper glen]

That explains my burned retinas

[hollow cape]

That much that it can blind people

Those white screens need to dissappear I hate playing and feel like someone throw one of those flashing grenades

[proper glen]

Oh, hey, I have a question for beta. Are the village of dream godolas any more stable for you, as compared to live ?

[hollow cape]

The what?

[proper glen]

The public transit system of boats on a track that seems intent on flinging occupants into the air

[hollow cape]

Ahhh those well in my experience they are the same than live I don't know the others

[barren mist]

i never use them at this point, i go to wind tunnels for hermit valley

[hollow cape]

I rarely use wind tunnels because I always get send back no matter what I try

[proper glen]

These are both in my account of bugs reported. We get the lively Navigator TS in live and for what, poor navigational times

[barren mist]

yeah, thats an issue ive been having recently, its near impossible to use the wind tunnels as of a few updates ago because they always send you back

[hollow cape]

More than a bug I see that as a server issue the server trying to adjust mess their position

[proper glen]

Yeah, they've been times that I get turned around on the direction I'm facing even going on loading zones on land.

[barren mist]

it always works eventually, it just takes a while, but its pretty infuriating

[proper glen]

what's the significance of 227673? It's even someone's nickname now what

[hollow cape]

For me it doesn't work

[barren mist]

takes me upwards of 10 tries sometimes

[barren mist]

the greatest beta build to ever release, it was all powerful, incredible, but taken from us too soon. we miss it

[hollow cape]

A beloved God here in the beta realms that shared with us a bit of its knowledge sadly it was way too much knowledge and TGC didn't like it so it took it away from us

[proper glen]

You mean the build for the aurora season testing?

[agile hazel]

It's just a beta joke

[median berry]

Love your pfp 💕

[barren mist]

basically it was (by coincidence btw, we were praising the build for how incredible it was before this) the first build of pc

[proper glen]

Oh, so like you saw some features, like better graphics or something? That corresponded to the PC version?

[barren mist]

no it was just a joke that went out of hand haha
(FURIOUS that skybot never mentions it anymore)

[hollow cape]

Way too out of hand

[proper glen]

I'm basically just looking through the windows into the Beta world. cut me some slack.

[upper bronze]

cant wait for sky 2

[barren mist]

its ok, im probably the one person that wont stop trying not let the joke die so i usually dont respond seriously if someone asks about it hahaha

[leaden oak]

Sky 1.0 and 2.0 ooooo

[zenith lynx]

I just want 227673 2.0 😔

[hybrid dust]

its just 1.0 btw all the mentions of 2.0 are referring to the same update

[steady flume]

ig saying "we'll finally reach sky 1.0" doesn't sound as epic

[hybrid dust]

yeah and to the majority of non-devs where official versioning doesnt really matter, such a major update to an already-released game does feel more like a v2. so the confusion is understandable

[sinful chasm]

What's the V2 thing? I don't understand

[hybrid dust]

extract from IGN's page on "Breaking a World Record":

"But that’s not all! thatgamecompany is going for a second world record for ‘The Most Players Emoting Together at the Same Time in a Video Game’. Jenova Chen also talks about Sky: Children of Light’s concert, which stars Norwegian singer-songwriter, AURORA, and features that are on the way for its 1.0 update and launch on PC."

theres a video that also goes along w the page where chen mentions the difference between current 0.xx.0 versioning and the major update being 1.0, i dont remember the link tho

[barren mist]

nvm i had no clue about this lol, i dont read ign

[sinful chasm]

Oh. So sky pc soon?

[hybrid dust]

they said itll be before the end of the year, that was a separate thing and all the info we have for PC

[sinful chasm]

Oh ok

[barren mist]

i thought everyone was talking about sky 1.0 or sky 2 as like a theoretical or imaginative thing 😭

[sinful chasm]

Currently hyped for Two Ember . I need that graphics in game

[agile hazel]

https://za.ign.com/sky-children-of-the-light/181384/video/sky-children-of-the-light-breaking-a-world-record-gamescom-2023

[hybrid dust]

5:14 for the specific timestamp on the vid (thanks elysian)

[trail fern]

can i play sky smoothly in max setting + 120fps with my laptop?

my system info:
Intel core i5-12500H
16GB ram DDR4
RTX 3050 85W 4GB

[agile hazel]

You can, more importantly does your monitor support 120hz

[barren mist]

ok im caught up now

[sinful chasm]

It's good. But depends as well

[trail fern]

yes

[sinful chasm]

Wish this was true. A new sky game with new realms

[barren mist]

genuinely thought sky 2.0 was just one of those conversations 😭 maybe they will finally fill out the empty spots on the constellations or add new realms or something

[trail fern]

does anyone use a laptop which have same graphics system with my laptop? please dms me

[agile hazel]

Your laptop will handle 120fps

[trail fern]

i know but i want to know how much percentage will my graphics card have to load

i hope its not over ~60%, i dont want my GPU become a stove

[agile hazel]

You have an rtx 3050, that can handle AAA games at 120fps easily

[sinful chasm]

Amd Cpu with rtx 3050. It can't handle many games that much
Depends on your room temperature as well.
Be sure to have a AC

[trail fern]

but its laptop version guys just on par GTX 1660, even worse

[agile hazel]

I didn't even realise this is laptop. That weirded me out

[sinful chasm]

[trail fern]

that why idk can my laptop handle it at max setting + 120fps or 60fps

[sinful chasm]

You gotta wait for it to officially release
For pc, it's certain

[agile hazel]

You'll just have to find out when it releases

[trail fern]

is it illegal to borrow a beta account?

[agile hazel]

Just wait, it's not like the game is unplayable if you can't handle 120fps

[trail fern]

bruh ._. i just want to test it as soon as possile, before i comeback to my school

[sinful chasm]

Don't worry about it
We all on the wait

[trail fern]

its will release at the end of year? or from rn to the end of this year?

[lilac solstice]

Yeah you shouldn't be borrowing beta accounts. Just wait until invites open again and join then like everyone does.

[trail fern]

when will we have next pc beta testing wave?

[lilac solstice]

We don't know. Again it's all up to the devs. They'll say if we need more testers

[trail fern]

k, thank you guys for answering my question

[broken bison]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

@sand garnet

It feels like Minecraft PE or Bedrock Edition

When Bedrock got launched on Windows 10 PC, a couple of years later it got labeled as 1.0

Kind of smiliar of what is happeing with Sky, 1.0 on Steam.

[ashen tusk]

pretty sure sky just uses its own build numeric system, was talking earlier about this with friends actually

[hollow cape]

Rn sky is at version 0.22.7 if im not wrong there's a long way to go for 1.0

[ashen tusk]

In my brain it should go up to 0.99.5, but I don't know if that's exactly how Sky builds have worked thus far, it could reach 0.5 and then jump to 1.0, we'll just have to wait and see what happens but there is still a few months before next year at least so we're gonna be creeping closer eventually

also 0.99.5 is a lot of builds to reach so it's probably less likely to work like that

[sudden pine]

o/ beta how are you all

[ashen tusk]

it's been 728472957 years since we got a doot, I thought I was being patient but it turns out it was just distractions from the live events, I have now returned to doot dance for mischief and aviary

[sudden pine]

so many years

[austere geyser]

So, I have studied this stuff ( unfortunately for me ) in the past and I'll try to explain how the numbers of the updates work

0.25.0
↑
The first digit changes only IF a veery major change happens in the game, as in, changing the whole game, or changing a very big chunk of the already existing things, when this is done, usually we refer to the end product as a version 1.0/2.0 etc of it

The second digit ( in this case 25 ) changes each time there's an update, like for example, seasons/events/hot fixes in Sky

The last digit I'm not entirely sure what is supposed to mean

[gilded parrot]

@austere geyser, 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.

[sudden pine]

ah yes, back in the (checks notes) extremely precambrian era

[austere geyser]

Honestly it could've been anything, I'm not entirely informed on the situation I just wanted to explain how update numbers work since it might've been useful to clear some doubts

[ashen tusk]

Ohhh so 1.0 will be very exciting then! Thank you for explaining!

[sudden pine]

i do wonder when my phone is just not gonna run it

[lilac solstice]

Ohh this is so helpful to learn and helps me understand. Thank you!

[hollow cape]

First digit is major changes
2nd digit means new content and features
And last one bug corrections and minor details

[ashen tusk]

or usually in sky if it's .5 it's the second half of a season

[leaden oak]

0.23.0
^ the middle digit changes
indicates a new season

0.23.5
^ the last digit changes indicates a new event/bug fixes

1.0.0
^ first digit changes indicates a big update to the world of sky

[ashen tusk]

praying aviary isn't in 1.0 because we might not see it for a while in live, but if it's a big big project it just might be and we could be testing it for a while

[iron elbow]

heck yeahh, let's go for a 6 month long aviary testing!!!!

[strong sentinel]

Omg why beta chat suddenly so lively. Can’t wait no more?

[idle nexus]

The next doot would probably be mischief, but I feel like aviary will be after that.

[idle nexus]

I think it's because we've been smelling a maple syrup filled doot on the horizon.

[strong sentinel]

Sounds delicious
