beta-discussion

[rotund sinew]

ahh unfortunate

[white sparrow]

Just until the other platforms are secured better

[rotund sinew]

I'd assume when the other platforms get secured there will be a new wave of application possibilities no?

[proud coral]

❤️ <- sending all my beta testers a big one of these!! ^O^ See you in the skies!

[sly arch]

Alright. Time to share Pics

[unkempt coral]

eden was incredibly chaotic 🥴 started with a huge group and by the time I got to orbit I only had 1 friend left with me 😭 we crashed so many times

[lucid warren]

didnt really manage to get the free time to catch the eden stream unfortunately ..

[mild flume]

Well. Last [Old] Beta Eden run. It was kinda fun to see all those ppl around with the festival tech on.

[sly arch]

Hey Nasty! I was with you so expect some pic with you in it

[burnt creek]

@shy berry Thanks for the ride!!

I'll be sharing pics in #beta-screenshots-videos and in ur dms

[wispy venture]

I wanna cry 😭😭😭😭😭

[unkempt coral]

[glacial barn]

Sad I missed the eden run (had dnd), but looking forward to seeing all the pics

[earnest nebula]

Thank you! It was best, most chaotic eden run ever!🩷🩷

[iron nacelle]

rip beta it was fun

[fervent ridge]

I'll take the name "Favevo" forever (whats even that)

[lyric fox]

how much time do we have left ?

[shy berry]

Ty!! <3

[final carbon]

thank you for the stream! and thank you for all the hard work over the years!

[worthy tulip]

My skid is now enjoying retirement with newfound friends

[iron nacelle]

hoping these channels get archived as so much history is here

[serene totem]

I finished my eden run with new friends! I'm so happy to have spent the night with everyone here, hope our kids rest well and be rebirthed one day in the future to meet again!

[final carbon]

it's so sad to see this channel go in particular

[worthy tulip]

I really hope this is archived

[drowsy forum]

i got new friends on my last Eden run! one splitted though then i crashed while on Orbit :( but thank you all! hope our beta Sky kids can enjoy a break now

[timber grotto]

probably gonna be privated to be used in future beta testing

[rich rapids]

I'm finishing my eden run right now I'm alone some how which is a bit sad but nothing that im not used too may my beta skykid rest well

[odd ravine]

Thank you dear sweet Nasty! It was a lovely ride with you in beta! ❤️

[final carbon]

i'm sure this will get buried but if you were the capeless chibi with the dreams guide hair, earmuffs, and carrying firewood, thank you SO much for guiding me through eden 😭 i'm not used to less than 11 wedges

[ancient bear]

I really want to know the exact time when the testing qualification questionnaire will be distributed

[worthy tulip]

My skid is there with yours in spirit, I promise! Technically we're all one of those many stars you see

[silk compass]

Everyone's final photos in #beta-screenshots-videos have been so beautiful and moving, thank you all for sharing May your beta Skiddos play amongst the stars

[rain delta]

Will one day even live go through this? end of service sky?!

[lucid warren]

i mean, it could happen eventually at some point in the future ? who knows

[rich rapids]

I appreciate the message brought a few tears to my eyes won't lie my beta journey for the past 3? Years has been mostly solo so to hearing that I have friends that I didn't know very touching

[wispy venture]

Yeah, hopefully not soon at all

[rain delta]

Nooooo but I don’t want that to happen!! Can’t we just have the full game at that point?

[iron nacelle]

keeping the app on my phone as a memorial next to minecraft earth

[karmic frigate]

Farewell Beta ! Met some very nice new people in Orbit and friended all of them on Live
Good last memories

[rain delta]

I’m not ready to say bye to sky it’s making me sad

[wooden bluff]

Grab your roles first #roles

[worthy tulip]

I was the same, never had any tester friends, but the concert and Eden showed there were people. If you want to be friends in Live just lmk also!

[stone nova]

I'm sad that a lot of people are having to give up beta but I'm also very excited because I didn't get a chance to be in beta b4 and now I (and a lot of other moths) might get beta !

[drowsy forum]

Sky will live on for a much longer time, no worries. I mean, let's be realistic - all things have to come to an end sometime, but I don't think it will happen on Live anytime soon. in the end there's still a lot more coming for Sky :P

[rich rapids]

I don't mind being friends in live in play every few days then randomly vanish LOL

[pseudo quail]

Im in Eden and I'm bugged stuck in the sky with someone else

[lucid warren]

its prob gonna be tough for me to find someone to do eden with to get screenshot of my beta skykid in orbit before beta Dies™️ .. havent really done too much season quest progress on beta either, so im trying to think of where could be a good spot to let my beta skid rest ..

[final carbon]

you should be able to move on once the pop up appears

happened to me too

[unkempt coral]

I got stuck at the end with a friend too 😂

[pseudo quail]

Final bug report HAHAHHA

[worthy tulip]

I'll send you a dm so I don't lost you but I'll sort out the code tomorrow as its late

[iron nacelle]

I wish festival tech was enabled in orbit but also it was peaceful chatting with people

[rich rapids]

I'm about to play one last song in orbit try not to cry LOL

[rich rapids]

That's totally fair it's like 2am for me so I get it

[lucid warren]

any suggestions on where i could maybe go ?

[final carbon]

i can't bear to close my game 😭 i want to keep her alive in orbit until beta closes

[iron nacelle]

somewhere in starlight desert is always a nice place to rest

[frank slate]

I love that I crashed and left my friends (the last two I was able to join after multiple crashes) on a cliffhanger for a story I was telling them.

[lucid warren]

i dont think you should leave sky open for 13+ hours .. thats about how long there's left until the beta closes

[final carbon]

isle of dawn starting area could be nice

[drowsy forum]

i wanted not to close my game but it did the job for me and crashed

[lucid warren]

(i mean, you could leave it open for 13+ hours, i can't stop you)

[worthy tulip]

I got separated from my friends, our group got split in half and then I crashed. I rejoined with the friends I lost

[final carbon]

i'm sure it'll crash wayyy before then anyways

or fry my ipad

[worthy tulip]

The valley stadium OOB? Very pretty

[glossy field]

So how do you qualify for the game test now?😭

[lucid warren]

havent really done the oob solo, dont think i have enough flaps to do it in beta as well
but maybe ..

[iron elbow]

if you could live in the world of sky, where would your home be?

[white sparrow]

Yes i am still wafoing even after being put to eternal rest

[west flame]

Hey, it's me, the not-beta from about 24 hours ago

Just coming back to check and see if you guys made it to Orbit okay, and to thank everyone for your work on beta one last time.

You guys should stick together, find eachother in live and see what all your work helped build together.

So, for everything, thank you.

[worthy tulip]

Clouds should give you enough, don't use all the flaps at once, just glide most of the way and you should make it with 5 wedges

[rich rapids]

There's a way to do it pretty easily go through the maze to the top and use the torch to recharge then flap to the window that's what I've done

[lucid warren]

still contemplating whether to keep holding out for someone to take me through eden to rest in orbit, or find somewhere else to do so ..
both i feel like are fitting options, though there isnt too much time left to choose ..

[neat wagon]

13ish hours left..

[worthy tulip]

Good luck, I'm sure you'll find someone! I'd offer if mine wasn't already playing in the stars

[white sparrow]

God it feels like this beta community as a whole is all dying at once (it is in fact not) and it really feels like a peice of the heart is crumbling

[final carbon]

you could possibly just make it to pnr then get molly rocked by rain until u go to orbit

[odd ravine]

I was thinking this 😢

[frank slate]

I sat the fox down in Orbit and lay down next to it

[lucid warren]

i'm not exactly brave enough to solo eden yet .. the first part i can do just fine, but the second part .. nuh uh

[unkempt coral]

it was so nice to make new friends along the way of beta ending today I am so sad to see beta go but it is nice to leave with some new friends ❤️

[rain delta]

58 more minutes to official goodbye

[pseudo quail]

Are they closing this channel when they close the server?

[lucid warren]

13 hours left actually, we're ending at noon pst

[final carbon]

that or privating it

[final carbon]

also hey i believe I met you right before the eden trip!

[lucid warren]

if i can get lucky enough to merge into an instance where people are willing to take me along in the second part then maybe i could do it that way .. hmm

[white sparrow]

Veev hi! I didnt get to orbit with ya but i did flashmob friend you haha!
You know the drill throw me a live code if ya wish to permenantly befriend this gremlin 😂:}

[final carbon]

oh yes i got split 3000 times

[unkempt coral]

it would be nice if these beta channels are up just a little bit longer past when beta gets reset so people can find each other 🥲

[hard void]

I have a recording of 2gb😭 can't post anything

[median spoke]

I managed to stay with Nastymold to the end. I was Ofak in her video
I just want to say goodbye to everyone
I know I don’t talk much but I often came here to learn from you all
Thank you for your efforts and for saying your insights here
I hope we meet again as betas and maybe as friends

[keen blaze]

Playing beta is just a waste of time.They will delete all accounts after we spend our time in there.

[light moss]

I want to just say I had fun. To all those I met in beta good luck to you and stay safe. I met a new friend going to Eden for last time and we enjoyed each others company for 2 hours. Raven may we meet in live one day.

[turbid sphinx]

Same here, but I wanted to post 2 videos + a screenshot of my Skykid in ||Orbit|| for the first and last time but it all added up to over 500+ mb so I posted the screenshot instead

[hybrid wedge]

Nah, it was time well spent. We found all kinds of bugs, discussed all kinds of feedback, and maybe learned a bit about game dev along the way.

And made some really cool friends, too.

[pseudo quail]

I will miss all of those Chinese players I will never be able to talk to again

[unkempt coral]

it's so sad we've had such little time to process this. I'm gonna lose beta friends I'll never see again bc of the short window of time between announcement + beta getting wiped

I know beta was meant for testing only but it was inevitable making friends there too 😭

[broken bison]

XD

Im surrounded by chinese players I guess

[pseudo quail]

I mean all the purpose of sky is connecting with people so it's normal to feel like this

[steel sphinx]

I spent many years in beta, the truth is it was impossible for me not to cry when they announced the closure, I almost never talk but it truly became a part of me

[broken bison]

Finding a player that actually speaks english was always a relief XD

[hollow summit]

I will miss beta

[sly arch]

As much there's "issues" with community with this line. I have to stand by your words and yes after creating my first BiliBili and NetEase account. I will miss those players in Beta.

Both the Global and Chinese communities are so wholesome and amazing.
(If you don't convinced then go on BiliBili and search for Sky (in Chinese), you will understand what I mean)

[pseudo quail]

And that would mean that they're on sky server

[unkempt coral]

I have been in beta for three years 🥲

[storm palm]

Ive been in beta 3 years as well and tested like crazy. Found so many bugs, got many things changed and etc

[sly arch]

I been here for IDK 4-5 years now? Still glad to be here making feedback and bug reporting

[glossy field]

When to shut down the test server?

[west flame]

Aw, hope someone helps you reach Orbit! Would definitely bring you there if I could, but I'm just a live player.

Considering the time you have left, you should make your move now before the end

[broken bison]

I will miss having to translate EVERY 👏 DARN 👏 TIME 👏

One day I was on GW on beta on a table full of chinese players. They were speaking so fast.

[pseudo quail]

Remember when beta testers fought so hard to get the cat hair from mischief as in game currency and not an IAP?

[unkempt coral]

I got sick one day and had to call out of work. that same day tgc sent out an invite wave. if I hadn't been sick that day I probably wouldn't have gotten in I wouldn't have made the friends I have now! crazy!!!

[sly arch]

If I were in that table (like I did last time in the actual CN server) yeah nah I'll be leaving that table immediately

[storm palm]

LP sword pants too

[broken bison]

I think I will start sending a batch of friend invite codes for Live if anyone wants to add me there!

[west flame]

Thiiiiiis, I was a moth when this was happening

[placid iron]

godspeed to all of the beta players who fought for that

[glossy field]

Thanks to all the test players for their efforts.

[ornate tundra]

I feel like my interest in playing sky is gonna completely leave once beta closes bc it gave me something to do in the game and get to wear all the iap's I'd probably never get to buy. I've already burnt out of live and that's why I joined beta

[sly arch]

As warriors, WE DO NOT BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT

[pseudo quail]

I just hope to see y'all again there and if not I hope the new testers keep up the good job

[white sparrow]

I fervently fought for tgc to make the cat hair a cat hair and ears only to turn out wed get moomin headbands two years later

[storm palm]

Im not ready for all the bugs and crashes all devices but ios will have < <

[sly arch]

I do wish sometimes other Android phones can get to the level where Samsung is. Their security is on par with Apple's

[turbid sphinx]

So you also remember that time in the TLP season testing back in 2021?

[broken bison]

Thought there will be a bigger factor of surprise. But, at what cost? NDAs X,,D

[storm palm]

Yuppppp. We fought hard for the sword pants to not be IAP

[thick quarry]

goodnight to all the beta kids lying in wait in orbit may those live happily once they move back to live.

thank you testers for all your hard work ^0^
any advice to any noobies coming in?

[sly arch]

A Toast, for the warriors (testers) who fought so hard to make things easier for us

[unkempt coral]

it's gonna be interesting how much this affects the playerbase as a whole. also how it's going to impact content creators. I get most of my news from content creators. I hope tgc ups their reliability where announcing things/showing previews for upcoming content is concerned

[west flame]

You guys fought to make my first cosmetic non IAP? Good gosh, okay, even more thank yous for all youve done!

[steel sphinx]

I remember that when I joined the beta I didn't even have a good tablet to play hahaha

I always look what to delete in order to update 😔

[turbid sphinx]

I remember that one . It just also happened to align with TGC members taking a break at the time, so one can only imagine the chaos that ensued back then

[pseudo quail]

I still have that drum they never released in live lmao

[sly arch]

A Toast, to the tester we made along the way!
A Toast, to all the bug reports and feedback we submitted!

[storm palm]

It was like the first time we REALLY rallied together for a change. They had no pants that were free

[unkempt coral]

I know beta was so annoyingly buggy but it also made for some laughs you just don't get in live

[tawdry pine]

And for the future beta testers!

[tropic bough]

I love u all 😔

[timber grotto]

some skytubers who rely on hacked information about to quit 🤭

[broken bison]

I hope to be selected as one of the volunteers. Althought It wont hit the same-

[storm palm]

It effects all content creators who did beta content. But I bet the bigger ones get in instantly

[sly arch]

Friend... hands on shoulder Nothing last forever friend

[unkempt coral]

and idk about you all but the community just hit different for me in the beta version. most people in beta are veterans who have a deeper love for the game. my best most familial sky friends originated from beta

[timber grotto]

well obviously the creator troupe has a bigger chance to get it, they're literally the faces of sky content creation, not just on beta but for live as well

[broken bison]

What made my beta journey special, is that I brought my best friend in Sky from Live to there. We made so much memories here!

Over 4 years of friendship hehe and still going strong!

[pseudo quail]

Goodnight everyone

[storm palm]

But will they be able to share beta content???

[sly arch]

Yeah confession. I was the one who also secure a spot for another friend I have. We were helping each other and I find a lot of bugs with them

[unkempt coral]

players are talking abt hoping tgc gives them permissions/agreements for some things...I wonder how it will go tho

[timber grotto]

depends on what the nda contract has

[broken bison]

If they go hog wild with the beta content sharing restrictions. Is like they are the krill, and they get krilled by themselves- or dont know how to explain it XD

A lot of the Sky traffic relied on a look at upcoming content,

[storm palm]

Even looking at nastymold...their views were all beta spoilers

Live: 2-5k
Beta: 20-40k

[unkempt coral]

I wonder if content creators are gonna try to find new ways to entertain us, like skits or something

[sly arch]

Speak of NDAs, future beta testers. Word of advice, don't mess with anything collaboration. Since if you do, legal fines might be x2 than without collaboration

Anyone remember Kizuna Ai Cape that we got revoked?

[broken bison]

And the Cinnamorroll stuff too!

[unkempt coral]

wait that's crazy what happened?

[weak fable]

ohh

[sly arch]

"Miscommunication" is what happened

Or TL;DR: Almost got in to Legal Trouble

[unkempt coral]

[broken bison]

Although some beta content creators crossed the limit of what should be shared,

[lucid warren]

i might try to see how many people are active in the morning to determine if being able to leave my beta skykid in orbit will be possible , but if not , then i might go for starlight desert

[sly arch]

The Post regarding this: #beta-announcements message

So Beta Testers, caution when dealing with Collaboration Event is needed

[west flame]

I still think you guys should make like-

A friend group or a Discord server for ex-betas, stay in contact with eachother. It wouldn't be the same I know, but what you've got between one another is more special. It shouldn't be gone cause betas changed overall. Hold on to what's important, keep eachother close. Something like that can't be broken by all of this.

[unkempt coral]

yeah I find that the beta servers here are more closely knit and have more interesting conversation

[broken bison]

YESSS, but sharing links isnt allowed I guess.

Allow me to create the server, I would be honoured.

[lucid warren]

what if we simply create "beta 2" in live ... but we pretend that recently released live content is the beta

[sly arch]

in 12 hours and 18 minutes, our farewell to our Beta Accounts

[full torrent]

Isn’t it already in 18 min(? Like with next reset hit

—ahhh okay I miss read then 🫢

[frank slate]

I like the idea of a displaced beta players channel, where we might find each other

[lucid warren]

it closes at pst noon, not pst midnight

[sly arch]

Account Reset Time: <t:1742497200:R>

[sterile cobalt]

the updates channel should have a recent post stating the estimated time in your timezone that its expected to go down

[west flame]

Heck yeah Sky Beta 2!

If you wanna make that happen you should spread the idea around, see what everyone thinks, you're bound to all find eachother eventually xD

[sly arch]

What do you guys think that when Beta close, what the message will display?

Will it be "Thank you for Playing Sky Beta. The server has closed. See you in the Skies"

[unkempt coral]

that sounds exactly like what it would say actually!

[lucid warren]

john beta himself will appear in front of your skykid, and tell you to leave

[unkempt coral]

I've been wondering that as well

[sly arch]

One thing I do happy is 2.52 GB being free from my phone

[sterile cobalt]

john beta 😭😭

[sullen relic]

That would be assuming they've actually programmed in a special message as of the latest build: what's more likely is that it'll display a server error message, or that the servers are under maintenance without an estimated time back online.

[sly arch]

True

[west flame]

The John Beta walks on to your screen, and with a honk he says two words

"SORRY NOTHING"

but only for a split second, the game crashes itself and uninstalls

[sly arch]

The second part, if you're on iOS... yeah it will happen.

[ornate tundra]

Tbh not even getting an actual goodbye from the game hurts more 🫠

[sly arch]

Well not really. The best it will do is crash the game and when you try to open it, it will say unavailable

[dry gazelle]

in 12 hours.... ok i am going to stay awak until 3am🫣

[fresh ferry]

hey, before the beta closes, i have one last question. i opened the SkyID menu and noticed a 9 character code in the bottom left corner, what is that?

[sly arch]

Build Code

[proven pendant]

Well that’s awkward I thought there was a goodbye party in like 8 minutes 😭

12 hours left

[broken fractal]

I would like it if all Seasonal Guide all appeared and guide us one last time to go through eden...
...but one can dream

[fresh ferry]

oh, i should have guessed, i was inattentive. thanks for the answer!

[west flame]

That's why I'm here actually. Just wanted you guys to feel appreciated before it ends. If they won't do it then I can at least be someone who will.

[sly arch]

Like how iOS if you go to Settings -> General -> About -> iOS version, next to the version number is the build code

[steady moth]

12 hours and beta disappears 🫡

[unkempt coral]

there kinda was today, we went to the aurora concert and started eden abt 3 hours ago

[lucid warren]

honestly i would maybe stream the last hour of beta ... but my upload speed is Kinda Wack and the stream quality would be Wack as well </3

could maybe do a video at least .. since pre-nda beta content shouldn't be affected

[sullen relic]

Completely random thought that would've likely never happened, but it would've been nice if it was possible to have your beta kid show up as one of your NPC friends when you go to Orbit in Live, just as a reminder of the chara you had over here

[lucid warren]

live and beta are completely separate, plus the total account reset for everyone once beta shuts down .. you'd only be seeing Moths Galore

[ornate tundra]

Only thing we'll get to do is dress up as our beta kid once the new seasons or events come out if you wore anything that wasn't out yet

[sullen relic]

I was thinking more of a cosmetic snapshot of your beta kid's current cosmetics and height copied to a blank NPC slot on your live account before beta access is revoked and wiped, rather than a persisting link between the two servers -- but yeah, otherwise well aware they're two completely different servers

[lucid warren]

the elders upon seeing a rampage of beta moths rushing towards them at mach speeds:

[frank slate]

I thought of the best thank you gift TGC could give beta players: let us purchase the invisible cape in Live (the catch being we have to buy it ). Yep, I know it ain’t gonna happen.

[unkempt coral]

well. it's been real everyone. I bid you all goodnight. thank you for making the beta community what it's been for me the last three years. I have loved the community here and hope to see you in live

[hallow moat]

the last day

[vast grail]

Bye Beta omg 😭😭😭

[static oriole]

ok, i thought it was now

[west flame]

I'm a live player still dreaming of the day we get Music Shop Bugle and Prophecy Drum

And Crab tournament trophies

Just dreaming a happy dream that may never be xD

[gilded parrot]

It's time for Team Valley to give a magnificent Performance!

[sonic trout]

Good afternoon, how can I sign up for beta testing

[steady moth]

Oh ye
RIP to the triumph instruments and the crab cape and any other non-live item 😔 🙏

[frank slate]

Red flower hair ornament come to me

[broken bison]

Heh darn it im tearing up

[hollow osprey]

I'm still playing on beta and nothing's happened 👀

[broken bison]

Its happening at 12pm PT

About 12 hours left

Pretty sure the devs will format the beta player databases.

[steady moth]

It’ll be in 12 hours

[hallow moat]

beta is closed at 3/21 00:00

[hollow osprey]

Oh i got it

[frank slate]

3/20 12:00:00 PDT

[hallow moat]

wait it's only 12hr??

[frank slate]

Noon

[west flame]

That's gonna be awkward

Being a former beta in live, thinking. "I feel like playing the Music Shop Bugle."

And you check the closet to find it simply never was in live

[hollow osprey]

I was counting down with tears Because I thought it was 12 am ;-;

[lucid warren]

at least you get to count down 12 more hours ?

[broken bison]

And suddenly Im getting emotional.

[desert karma]

So upsetting....

[uneven grail]

beta not end？

[vast grail]

I sent love to my beta friends and they sent me offline messages in return... I am not prepared for this... I thought I am prepared 😭

[steady moth]

It will in 12 hours

[noble apex]

It's very upsetting that TGC they finally decided to delete the former beta. I will believe until the very end that they will change their minds.

[broken bison]

Iiiiii dont think they will change it. The decision is already made.

[desert karma]

Is Beta for PC also close down?

[lucid warren]

ALL betas are closing down

[steady moth]

Wish we got a lil something but tgc is definitely not entitled to give us anything

[hollow osprey]

Me and a group of players gathered at GW started counting down..
Also it's for good. I saw about 10 hackers in a day messing around 🥲

[broken bison]

Insane LMAO

[dry ibex]

Goodbye crab trophies and crab cape

[noble apex]

It's very frustrating;(. I have a friend in the beta who doesn't use social networks, but also rarely logs in to the game itself.Only there I can keep in touch with him, but if the beta version is turned off, then we will never meet again 😔

[white sparrow]

Goodbye cripwalking moths

[broken bison]

They think because its beta and IAPs are free, they can just do what they want.

[dry ibex]

Let’s not discuss hackers here please

[desert karma]

Goodbye invisible cape... you never came to Sky...

[broken bison]

You can just add us in Live-

[native terrace]

Manifesting that they bring the 'lost items' to live for f2p, it'd be a shame if they all got lost

[dry ibex]

Sometimes I still think about the people who bought the passage masks when they were 999 candles

[desert karma]

Good thing most of my friends from Beta joined me on Sky. But there are others I will definitely miss....

[azure plume]

Good afternoon, I want to know why I clicked on the blue cloak of the faq channel, but the invite channel did not appear.

[noble apex]

Well... I don't think so, he kind of deleted the local version and only left the beta, since there are essentially a lot of new things there and, so to speak, free donations😕

[white sparrow]

Beta is shutting down and all beta channels are going with it

[hollow osprey]

I forgot to do that

[west flame]

Just a happy little dream where there was another bugle and another prophecy drum

A lovely passing dream of crab trophies over triumph and the crab cape that never was

Just a little dream on my bed in my Nest, in a world where they don't exist

[desert karma]

I spent real 999 to get my invisible cape... it was hard work...

[unique fox]

Oh red flower, into the void you go

[noble apex]

And I still haven't managed to save up for it 😕

[hollow osprey]

I was close to 999

[dry ibex]

Dedication I was always broke in beta I only finished isle constellation so I could summon those random orbit spirits

[desert karma]

I was on Beta from August 2020... had enough time and was extremely happy about it...

But now it's going goodbye

[broken bison]

How can I share Live friend codes in the chat iwi

[unique fox]

I will never forget the craze that was the season of abyss candle bug

[desert karma]

Somehow it didn't work. I tried yesterday. It didn't work

[robust root]

you can't share codes in the chat, as they get beaned by skybot instantly
you need to share them in dms

[broken bison]

Bruhhhh...

** insert image of the dog with closed eyes at the sunset **

[broken bison]

Like, there is no other way. Geez what a inconvenience

[hybrid wedge]

Friend codes are single use, anyone sitting in the channel could use it before the intended recipient

[uneven grail]

Will there still be an invisibility cloak after deleting the data?

[desert karma]

Probably not...

[broken bison]

Hm I see.

[shut mantle]

Is it possible for the invisibility cloak to be launched on the official server?

[uneven grail]

i think not

[desert karma]

Devs never said anything about cloak... who knows?

[gleaming falcon]

Is there a specific time for the download qualification of the test server

[uneven grail]

If not, how do we get wingless instead? bug?

[desert karma]

🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[marble trail]

Moomin fingies cape, looks ALMOST wingless 👐

[robust root]

everything is in #beta-faq

[uneven grail]

Be sure to keep Wingless after the update

[gleaming falcon]

ok，thank you

[uneven grail]

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

it real cute

[wraith bolt]

11 hours, 26 minutes, and counting

[uneven grail]

This is an April Fool's joke, right?

right？tgc？

[robust root]

nope, 100% real

[odd lintel]

no, changing the beta program for the better of the game is not an April Fools joke, especially given it’s still 11 days away from then

[uneven grail]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo！！！

[dry ibex]

It’s definitely not a joke, but something the devs have thought long and hard about. It’s completely normal to feel upset, surprised and sad!

And if you have any suggestions or feedback to share about the change, you’re more than welcome to do so in #beta-feedback as well

[ember ore]

good bye everyone I'll miss you guys!!

[uneven grail]

I suggest that this decision be eliminated.

[ember ore]

if we weren't able to meet or add each other, then let us meet in live!!

[uneven grail]

this like my sky kid

[native terrace]

The only thing I wish for was that we were given a bit mote of a heads up lol, three days is v short, but I understand the decision

[rugged kindle]

It's already expected, as it stated that beta can be reset the moment you sign up in the app

[uneven grail]

[desert karma]

Goodbye everyone. Hopefully we will be back one day.

[sonic trout]

Where can I apply for admission to the beta version?

[robust root]

#beta-faq wait till its out

[willow moth]

Thanks beta chat for letting me lurk around and see a bit of the future live

[sonic trout]

Ooo okay

[rocky peak]

Man 🐴

[sullen relic]

man-horse? you mean a centaur?

[frail eagle]

will the beta chat here also be changing to private channel or still public?

[robust root]

likely made private

[subtle sage]

If we're not test suit members, will we be kicked out? QAQ

[gray anvil]

i think this chat would be archived and successful applicants would be invited to the new beta chat when it's ready.

[subtle sage]

I hope so 🥹🥹🥹

[tropic orbit]

🫡 if i dont see anyone on beta right before the shutdown ill just go ahead and say its been fun finding silly bugs and also helping better sky

[spark lance]

Guys why I still have my account even if it's 20 march

[robust root]

beta is shutting down in 10h 30 mins

[spark lance]

Ouh...

[near forum]

I fell asleep and missed the Eden run noooo 😭😭😭

[late mountain]

[true pagoda]

where to join new beta text?

[robust root]

#beta-faq

[true pagoda]

thx

not yet haha

[proper condor]

Hopefully we will meet again

[rancid lark]

Same

[worthy tulip]

Morning beta skids, its been fun journeying with you all

[tulip charm]

Long time lurker but I've had fun on beta over my time there & here reading all the chats
Wish you all the best & if anyone wants to send a code for live then that would be great

[shrewd needle]

Phew! After my bad time of not taking any damage in red rain, I did a trick someone suggested. When I went back on after reset, I was able to complete Eden!

I am now going to do a full Sky run on beta and record it for memory’s sake.

[worthy tulip]

It just dawned on me too that it's very fitting for today to be the last day as today is Ostara, a day of renewal

[silk sparrow]

My time of lurking and asking here for spoilers is over
Thank you, beta testers for answering me
Gl future testers

[drowsy fiber]

Did anyone else notice the Days of Treasure shovel in the starting cutscene?

[pure tapir]

Where do the skykids go when they're erased?
I don't know, but Marshmallow will always shine fluffy in my heart 🤍

[torpid cloak]

有人知道什么时候会发问卷调查开启新的测试吗

[gilded parrot]

We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @torpid cloak. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.

[torpid cloak]

Does anyone know when the survey will be released to start the new test?

[drowsy fiber]

No, keep an eye on #beta-announcements , #beta-faq and #beta-signup-info . I'm sure TGC will announce it in at least one of those.

[drowsy fiber]

Same here...
I've been thinking about making a memorial live account that is my beta skykid, but I'd need forever to get some of the cosmetics... I think I'll skip that plan XD

[leaden oak]

7 hours and 51 minutes left until beta closes

[leaden oak]

Skykids are not going anywhere.

Even if the outfits get reset that doesn’t mean the heart will change! The heart remains the same but the journey may be different. So look up, create new memories

[silk sparrow]

They go to Orbit, but they aren't reborn

[gray anvil]

we return to mega bird

[leaden oak]

Megabird created skykids ?

[gray anvil]

i think megabird created everything but i'm no lore expert

[odd lintel]

mega bird created elder masks, praise mega bird…

[strong sentinel]

This dumb cone tech separeted me with my friend and can't reconnect now in orbit :(

[olive night]

Just seven hours to go☠️

[burnt creek]

Wait is the music at orbit now copyrighted? Nastymold had to turn off the music in the stream

[austere geyser]

I'm pretty sure it's always been Copyrighted, since it's AURORA singing it

[burnt creek]

It didn't have an official release for a long time though

I also never saw anyone having to turn it off before

[olive night]

Could be, you know

[austere geyser]

It might've gained copyright after the Collab season and the soundtrack album release on streaming platforms then, although I'm not too sure about it and I might be wrong

[timber grotto]

i think it was released during 2022 when AURORA made an album for the concert setlist, track is called "The Light Beyond"

[turbid sphinx]

There was an earlier version of the song released in Sky's first OST album back in 2020, but yeah what we hear today closely resembles the 2022 version

[ashen tusk]

That’s my last beta bug reported for now, I love that beta is going out with a bang

I hope you’re all having a good day, managing to say farewell to your beta kids, and connecting with all your tester friends in live! Big hugs

[wraith bolt]

6 Hours, 41 minutes and counting

[rustic leaf]

Where's everyone going to spend their last hours in beta?

[wraith bolt]

Enjoy your last 380 minutes in open-beta, comrades ....

[turbid sphinx]

Thanks. Speaking of which, I've made my decision to return to Live. As much as I'll miss my Beta skykid, my Live skykid on the other hand has been left on the drawboard to accumulate dust since I "quit" the game a few months ago

[wraith bolt]

Home I guess, not closing in a bang. Just slow shutdown into the void and forgotten

[rustic leaf]

It's nice to end where we began :)

[strong sentinel]

I just sent mine into orbit

[wraith bolt]

For real 🤝

[turbid sphinx]

Same here. Left my Skykid at home, where the void will welcome them in open arms

[cosmic nova]

I’m leaving mine at home, with his wings on! So that he can go anywhere he wants to go freely

[rustic leaf]

I might take my beta kid on a tour through the realms, I slacked a lot on the non testing stuff in beta ^^;;

[ashen tusk]

turns out I forgot a couple of bugs so I added reports for them too, there's no real beta testing if I didn't forget something at least

[ashen tusk]

Welcome back to live sky! It really is the best, I hope you enjoy being back

[rustic leaf]

Set up a shared space with some cosy furniture so my skykid has a nice base to return to :p

(The nest doesn't feel right for a home island moth like me)

[cosmic nova]

My beta kiddo had nvr have any portraits because it didn’t have lots of clothes and actions as compared to my other kid in live. Which I only realised while flipping thru my albums recently. So I had the first and last portrait shoot for my kiddo with his favourite outfit

[carmine tulip]

Is it very painful to buy many cosmetics in beta and finish constellations just for beta shutdown?

[gray anvil]

nah, what else you gotta spend it on tmr

[carmine tulip]

I just rarely visited beta and spent 90% time on live version

[lilac solstice]

Not on beta lol. I will be at work when the shutdown happens, but I already said my goodbyes

[gray anvil]

i'll be sleeping, beta shuts down at 3am for me

[sand rune]

9pm for me

[untold wedge]

I'm leaving my 3yr old capeless 'Willow' sitting on her sofa in her nest surrounded by her friends the plushies. Beta shuts down for me at 3am too in Australia. Roll on Android as I'll definitely be trying to test again.

[ashen tusk]

I'm gonna need a bigger live constellation for all these new friends

[thick quarry]

put in some feedback for bigger friendship trees /hj
alternatively i would love a "light all" optionn

[soft vine]

o7 beta

[sand rune]

wwww i think a light all option was discussed a long time ago and they said no
but it alos has been a LONG time

[lilac solstice]

This is true. I have too many friends and not enough space to see them all

[sand rune]

more frined list pruning....

[frail needle]

I woke up this morning from a dream where my skykid in Live traveled to my skykid in Beta and played her “I Will Remember You” by Sarah McLachlan on the piano (which is funny because I have zero musical talent) and then thanked her for being a hard-working beta tester and stayed with her until she drifted away.
Thank you everyone…for your bug reports, your time, your efforts, feedback. Thank you for sharing some of your favorite beta moments last night. You are all legends.

[sand rune]

oop a fifth favourites page

[ashen tusk]

you laugh but I did actually send across some live feedback for more constellation pages or something just to help keep track of everybody there's so many people lost to the void already!

[sand rune]

might take pictures of my live skid and my beta skid in a few of the same of my favourite spots....
together, yet a world apart....

[naive solar]

imagine if all this was a very elaborate april fools joke...

[lofty cobalt]

hope so...

[naive solar]

It is not, hence I crossed it out 😔

[frail needle]

I would immediately be sending TGC a request for reimbursement on my recent purchase of Kleenex, nasal spray, and eye drops 🤧

[sand rune]

WH
WJHATS HAPPENING
THE AUDIO IN LIVE AND BETA IS MATCHING UP???
but im

[rose quartz]

[opaque sundial]

Seeing all those goodbyes in #beta-screenshots-videos got me thinking of how it will be if Sky ( live ver. ) is closing

[sand rune]

I just noticed some of the photoshoot gonna be a bit challenging LOL hope no one opens the doors

[odd lintel]

was going to see if I can eat through all my spells but uhh… cosmetic spells have a 15 minutes cool-down each and I have 43 of some cosmetic spells 😭

[tawdry pine]

Watching all the goodbyes whilst listening to epic the musical for the 723827th time

this life is amazing when you greet it with open arms-

[ashen tusk]

I'm pretending I can't read because same

[white sparrow]

Ayeee i woke up before the beta has gone bye bye! i got woken by an alarm i want to sleep in more.

[lilac solstice]

All the goodbyes are making me sad again

[lucid warren]

morning beta chat .. 6 hours until the end ..

[hard void]

Have 17K+ SKYshots, BUT among them only 1 Portrait shot

[cyan gust]

i thought it vanished at 2 am I completely misread

literally woke up at 2 am without an alarm to check

[odd lintel]

Welp I’m off to bed…

Obviously in that case I won’t be up for beta going bye bye (it’s at 3am for me) so I already said goodbye #beta-screenshots-videos message Weird that I’ll wake up and beta will be gone, but alas, life will go on, and I’ll keep screaming for new elder masks

I hope to see many of you around in other places of the server still! You’ll most likely catch me screaming about elder masks in #cozy-sky-discussion or sneaking around in #general-sky-discussion, maybe #seasons-events-chat on the odd occasion too Goodbye for now though, it was a great few years in beta

[burnt creek]

will the server get closed or will we be able to play until we close the app

(already got my answer for the other question)

[late mountain]

Thank you for all the time together on beta everyone Our skykids are off to be reborn, and the cycle begins anew

[burnt creek]

Huh??

[turbid sphinx]

Since Beta will reset at 3:00 am tomorrow for me as well, I can't join you guys in bidding the final farewell to Beta, but I'll soon be returning to Live, either doing realm travel, music playing, or whatever stuff I can think of
In the meantime, this is farewell. It was short, but I had fun spending the last 4 years in Beta, testing stuff and new features before their implementation in the live game with all of you. Best of luck to future Beta skykids, whether old or new.

[frail needle]

I’m gonna hop over to live for a bit so I can start building a shrine in my nest to honor my beta kid.

[willow fog]

Goodbye beta!
It’s been a fun few years, I still remember prophecy testing and the chaos that came with it.
May our sky kids keep partying in orbit and laugh at our silly shenanigans in live.

[burnt creek]

What I was looking for as my last eden memory, was seeing the "Thank you to all our beta testers" message, but it was completely bugged to me and the message was way bigger than the small margin they gave it

I wish we got some kind of memo on our live accounts. Even better if it's something you can't flex to others, I just would love a silly little memo to remind me of the good ol' beta times

Like a little thank you! In the accounts tab

[pseudo quail]

Report it

[true ibex]

wonder if some of us are gonna get some sort of "legacy beta tester" role

[zinc wagon]

OMG @ashen tusk sending #beta-bugs-ios reports to the bitter end. I think you are allowed to sleep now. 😂

[ashen tusk]

beta didn't let me rest for the last day

[true ibex]

I think us legacy testers deserve a well-earned break

[zinc wagon]

Feels more like a week, doesn’t it?

[true ibex]

whether testing stuff nobody thought to test, or by running into bugs via playing the game as normal

great work everyone

[rose quartz]

Good night my baby.

[true ibex]

we'll always have stuff we made (like picrews of Beta OCs for example) to remember legacy Beta by

[fair socket]

How many hours left remaining?

[burnt creek]

Around 5/6

[fair socket]

I see, after beta is closed will this channel be privated and more restrctive too?

[burnt creek]

Yes

[hallow roost]

That's so sad 😢

[fair socket]

Noooo im gonna miss taking a peek in this channel 😭 😭 😭

[burnt creek]

I'm gonna miss the peace that it is in here compared to genchat

[fair socket]

Cozy chat is all we have left right now

[burnt creek]

Is it peaceful? I'm rarely there

[fair socket]

Yeah i meant its called cozy chat for reason, sanctuary for people who doesnt want to get caught up in chaos of gen chat

[burnt creek]

It's just that I was skeptical of whether it would actually live up to its name or not

[white sparrow]

I keep getting the are you human pop up in dms because i keep sending friend codes 😭

[earnest nebula]

That stinks lol

[white sparrow]

Ive gotten about 30 or so beta skids friended in live now 😭 so happy to not loose any of them to the beta yeet

[lyric mist]

imma hop on to my beta account to properly say goodbye to my skid

[true ibex]

I'll miss the friends I made in beta, but at the same time I'm happy that I'll be able to load main Sky on my phone again (limited storage space moment )

[ashen tusk]

It's simultaneously felt like the longest and shortest few days, I'm going to miss this space

Lara! Would you like to exchange live codes?

[rich kernel]

Did devs cancel plan to shut down beta cuz I can still login there

[ember ore]

#beta-announcements message

check the approximate time in your time zone here

[rich kernel]

Well they better select me again or I'm paying visit to there headquarter 🦆🙌

[white sparrow]

Please read the post here as it gives all the information available about whats happening

#beta-announcements message

[opaque halo]

we'll meet again, dont know where, dont know when...
but i know we'll meet again some sunny day 💔

just over 3 hours till the purge
thank yall for this wonderful experience friends
see you on the other side...!

[earnest nebula]

I would like to take a moment to thank TGC and the MODS. I know a lot of people appreciated it when they acknowledged beta testers for volunteering our time so let's not forget if wasn't for them we wouldn't have the amazing game we all love to play. I've always spent more time in the Live game than beta and have been fortunate enough to see all the amazing work from WIP to the Live event. I've watched the moderators answer the same questions 30 times in an hour never overly chastising or showing unwarranted exasperation with everything. So thank you all for the amazing memories, your continued hard work and I'm looking forward to the next chapter in beta as well as the continuing journey in the live game!! (And yes I threw in a reference to "Journey" which is how I ever found out about Sky 🤭)
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[final carbon]

not sure why my message got yeeted tsk tsk. sent in my final report

[true ibex]

Fellow "found out about Sky via Journey" player

[final carbon]

i'm gonna be in calculus lab when beta closes how mean is that. now i gotta suffer twice

[earnest nebula]

Oh yay!! My daughter used to play it and I'd sit and watch her play it was so peaceful too 🩷 When she told me "the people who created that game you loved watching have a mobile game!" I downloaded it the same day

[true ibex]

I'm coping through picrew, being able to download main Sky on my phone again, reminiscing about how we got here, and fandoms

[rancid lark]

🎵Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon though it's the end of the world, don't blame yourself no

And if it's true, I'll surround you and give life to a world

That's our own🎵

[true ibex]

porter robinson mentioned

[true ibex]

I personally learned of Journey through the Stampylongnose playthrough, hyperfixated for quite a while, and when I learned of Sky I was hyped (also the main thing of Season of Dreams that got me hooked was the fact that IIRC Peeking Postman's outfit was Journey-inspired)

[earnest nebula]

I loved season of Dreams! That was the season I joined and the finale gave me goosebumps!

[native terrace]

ough I'm gonna miss you all aaaaa

[true ibex]

ngl my first ult gifts (and only full set of ult gifts) were from Assembly

[ashen tusk]

I forgot live had a 5 code limit for friendships

[earnest nebula]

I only have dreams, little prince, and abyss ults. I pretty much pick a look and stick with it. I'll definitely be getting the days of nature stuff though! That cape looking like water is epic!!

[white sparrow]

Ive been a solid pay to pay respects to tgc player since dreams before then i was simply another moth mindlessly roaming the realms in music induced bliss

[true ibex]

ngl my look has evolved quite a bit over time but for now I like my current fit of Daydream hair, Navigator feathers, Journey mask and cape (the red cape), and Peeking Postman outfit and shoes

[modest junco]

Guys, in about four hours we're gonna get removed from beta testing discussion and its sisters?

[earnest nebula]

I miss moth days, discovering everything for the first time! That's probably why I'm more of an Explorer player. After the dailies I like finding oob, easter eggs, and exploring the graphics more than doing candle runs lol.

[true ibex]

honestly I'm not that great at music sheets but I try

[dry ibex]

We don’t have very concrete information yet on what will happen to the current beta channels. We only know that beta channels will become private and NDA-exclusive, but there’s no info yet on how that will happen.

You’re encouraged to send in #beta-feedback about the changes, and that includes channel feedback for beta specifically!

[earnest nebula]

Dm me a friend code if you'd like for live 🩷

[native terrace]

I'd really like it if they archived these,,

[twilit spindle]

I wonder if in the future like Screenshoting and video recording will be detected in the new wave because if it is then;;

[lucid warren]

the ominious anti-nda-breaking moth appearing upon opening obs, taking up the entire screen

[west flame]

Hello, it's the not-beta again!

Just checkin in, wanted to spread the word that someone is gonna make a server for ex-betas to find eachother. It was an idea we had last night.

Links cant be shared, but if you wanna look for it, ask @broken bison they decided to make it happen.

If you want to stay in touch with eachother, or find lost friends once beta closes, that is. Maybe it can help?

[white sparrow]

Getting turned into an immobile bean for taking a screenshot or video would feel like good justice

[dry ibex]

Well regardless of the answer to that question, sharing content outside of the dedicated beta channels will be a violation of the NDA people will sign. I doubt the pure taking screenshots and videos is not allowed we can find bugs that way too and record them for bug reports

[lucid warren]

tbh i dont really play live too often anymore to warrant having the beta folk add me on there

[charred tide]

Ahhh!! So sad we’re gonna end our journey as a sky beta testers… it was nice meeting you all!!!

I will also probably leave sky after this,, thank you for everything!! Sky beta was the only one who could encourage me to play again…

[ashen tusk]

I'd imagine for the purposes of testing they'd still let people screenshot and record, it's posting outside the server that would be prohibited - I think keeping things in the beta channels will be pretty easy, testers will be secret undercover agents is all

[final carbon]

sagomay clone personally comes and scolds you

[lucid warren]

@ all the tgc people behind managing the new beta system, i wish yall luck with it <3

[sly arch]

3 hours and 34 minutes till closing

[twilit spindle]

Gonna be honest with like Sky Content Creators I wonder what will happen with all of them cause they are persistent and fast whenever new things come out

[final carbon]

will most likely shift their content to covering in game stuff like events and dailies, and then also cover what they know when new seasons are announced in patch notes

[maiden pond]

It makes me wonder if they'll post a video update with them explaining what they can't share anymore and a hopeful understanding.

[lucid warren]

i do have enough upcoming free time to record the final hour of beta ... could make a good video, esp since we still in the pre-nda era

[sly arch]

I did make a feedback regarding this. You can do in:#beta-testing-discussion from: charaanimates Sky: Creator Troupe Experience Server to see what I mean. I already forwarded this to #beta-feedback

[lucid warren]

( would also be the first sky related video i've done as well .. )

[twilit spindle]

Ive seen some update videos from smaller Sky CCs so hoping more of them do that before the deletion

[sly arch]

Tho this means if you want early access to make guides and videos, you still have to Sign up to Sky Creator Troupe which also NDA related

[analog pecan]

Just stopping in to say thank you all my sky fam ❤️ for fun times and many memories in testing 🥰🥰🥰 may all your journeys be full of wonderful things....love Faith

[sudden pine]

morning beta! I hope you have some extra good coffee today and if anyone wants a friend code, please DM me 🙂

[atomic flame]

thank you for reminding me to get coffee. good morning!

[blazing flower]

so like the beta system is gonna be ios only so for Android me is to just delete sky beta right

[pseudo quail]

i left my skid before getting on the bridge after eden dressed up as a moth, it think its kinda sad to leave her like this

[ashen tusk]

maybe I'll log back in once more and dye everything purple before the betapocalypse hits

[pseudo quail]

omg DO IT, i was thinking on sending hearts to everyone i can before it closes

[ashen tusk]

invisible cape 999 heart speedrun

[blazing flower]

I'll make my skykid stick to Narci's leg like he's doing it forever

[drowsy forum]

Android is gonna be back in the future, but not initially

I am leaving old Beta as a memorial

[pseudo quail]

waaa i need to get trough the bridge to do that

[burnt creek]

Man this is giving me club penguin closure vibes

[naive solar]

It is not going to be iOS only permanently, it will roll out on Android and PC. Currently it will be iOS due to security reasons

[ashen tusk]

beta testers: omg it's the end of the world, beta is closing, what are we gonna do
live: I'm right here 😭

[pseudo quail]

just because this i will not skip the credits

[frail needle]

I’m gonna miss mine so much

[burnt creek]

I didn't skip credits to see the thanks to all the beta testers message, but it was bugged and was cut off in the borders

Even beta already considers us as lost memories 💔

[left quest]

It’s just different

[burnt creek]

(Jk hopefully they fix it in live and I'll never skip the ending cutscene)

[pseudo quail]

Its a coincidence that when it says "thanks for our beta testers" the music gets more EMOTIONAL and i always cry on that part

[ashen tusk]

I'm gonna miss pink ❓

[burnt creek]

Did the message display normally to you?

But yeah, that's my FAVORITE part of the song

[pseudo quail]

yes, i could barely see it, i took a screenshot of it luckily

[burnt creek]

It always gave me the chills, now it's gonna give me a reason to cry

[burnt creek]

Can you send it?!

I think it's amazing we're the last name in the credits, just like we served as kind of the last line of defense between Sky Beta and Live

It's like "we couldn't have done it without you all"

[pseudo quail]

of course, just let me finish sending hearts

[maiden pond]

Why did I think of "Our last line of defense will be Link." just from reading that?

[burnt creek]

I KNEW IT WHEN I SAW "HylianHero500 is typing..."

[frank ferry]

man i was offline for a bit just to come back to beta restructuring
didn't even participate in the sendoff
ngl I'll miss all the free stuff i get in beta lol i am so broke in live

[burnt creek]

NOOOOO @pseudo quail

[pseudo quail]

oh hell no, it vanished, im going to run eden again

[runic path]

3 hours and counting

[burnt creek]

I think I still have my recording to show the bugged message, I might as well keep it as buggy reminder of how buggy beta was

[cosmic sequoia]

I'm gonna be asleep later and I know the end is coming near so I just want to go ahead and say my thank you to everyone inside and outside of beta for enjoying this together and good luck to future beta <3

[sterile cobalt]

lol i ended up missing the sendoff from last night bc i was too busy 💔 i was a little sad about it so i went to my favorite place for pictures

[burnt creek]

Nvm I recorded it with the in game recorder, the text is also gonna vanish 💀

[pseudo quail]

HASDKAHSKD UWAAAAA naaaww i will run eden again, I refuse to leave like this

[sterile cobalt]

i wonder if these channels will just be locked, or if they'll just completely reset these channels so they'll be like new for the next testers......

[pseudo quail]

EDEN SPEEDRUN

[west flame]

Speeden!

[burnt creek]

I remember one time in beta, I done an eden run at the same time an aurora concert was happening, and I happened to go through the white glowy circular portal at the same time as the orbit part of the concert happened, so I went to the concert instead of the orbit hub 😭

Me: dead
Aurora:
MY QUEENDOM COME

[tawny sequoia]

i never got to be a beta tester. but ive seen many others be beta testers. i dreamed of one day being one and now i have to wait and see the new sign up process for it. i am glad i got to see many people post about the beta so i had a good look into what prices would be and ill miss knowing.

i hope to everyone that you all had a great time in beta.

but remember we still have the live game to play whenever we want.

[placid iron]

i never got to access beta (old phone) but its been fun seeing all of the hype over these past 3 years cyaaa

[pseudo quail]

is this eden festival tech like a collective dea th?

[burnt creek]

I mean it always has been, it's just a bigger one now

I'm not caught up on stuff, what's the festival tech there for?

[drowsy forum]

#beta-announcements message

[naive solar]

#beta-announcements message this should explain I think

[broken bison]

So I saw that the chats are getting closed after Beta closes. I hope the chats are still visible.

[burnt creek]

did you save all of your concepts?

[broken bison]

Concepts?

[burnt creek]

didn't you make UI concepts and stuff?

[bitter pulsar]

😿

[broken bison]

AH LMAO I forgot about those

[maiden pond]

I still remember when you made the login reward UI or something along those lines.

[burnt creek]

I thought they were pretty neat 👌

you should apply for UI designer if TGC ever open (new) applications on that area

Emily is already very talented, tho I don't think one more would be a bad thing :3

You can search for messages in a specific channel using the following:

You can change the channel into #beta-screenshots-videos to see your messages there as well.

If you'd like to revisit the media you posted, you can search for:

I hope this is helpful for anyone who'd like to see some of the posts they've made in the past!

[frank ferry]

really hope the old beta channels aren't wiped cuz there's so much art hope they only make them read-only

[iron elbow]

I made a request for a copy of all my data from discord, hope my beta posts will be there

[wintry magnet]

I hope they archive these beta channels that everyone can still come to look at them.
And they make new private beta channels for the new closed beta

[pseudo quail]

I WAS ABLE TO RECORD IT FINALLY, i will cut the video just to leave the last part and i will share it

[burnt creek]

isn't it illegal to store discord messages or something?

maybe it's about bots and I'm misremembering

[iron elbow]

.... what? it's literally a built-in feature in the privacy settings

[untold horizon]

Who can tell me where to find and fill out the application form for the test server?

[burnt creek]

sorry, I just looked it up, it was about bots
bots aren't allowed to store user messages

[wintry magnet]

It will probably be at #beta-signup-info or in #beta-faq or #beta-announcements

Read more info from #beta-faq message

[burnt creek]

privacy stuff

[drifting crag]

Can android users also fill the form?

[pseudo quail]

[final carbon]

right now it is for ios only, once they figure out security improvements for android they will send applications for that.

[sand rune]

man we gonna lose our roles too, hope we get a (legacy open beta) role for us LOL so we can find each other here earier

[tawdry pine]

Android and PC can still apply, it's just iOS that will get to actually play test for now

[glass heron]

hello dermelles

[pseudo quail]

never forget the infinite candles bug

[iron elbow]

"yeaaah guys i TOTALLY have an iphone, it's just in repair for now, haha"

[flat thorn]

Goodbye beta! Hope to see everybody in live

[tawdry pine]

And then you get cycled out

[trim spade]

Imma go to the last geyser and granny yall

[viscid sundial]

The chaos of that is probably one of my fav beta memories lol

[pseudo quail]

and then they removed almost all the candles

i tried to, but its like cropped

in both times i tried 😭 might have to go to live and run eden just to get it

[burnt creek]

@pseudo quail thank you to our beta

[pseudo quail]

LMAO and the office cape its not even visible

[placid iron]

god the music at the end when you took that vid just makes it all so bittersweet though im gonna miss this all so much

[burnt creek]

XDD

[wraith pebble]

good night

[pseudo quail]

sure

[final carbon]

it's so weird people telling me that i shouldn't be upset because it's just my beta kid like i haven't poured years worth of playtime and work into this account as well

[pseudo quail]

im leaving that beta account with 2k candles i also fell that

[final carbon]

i spent almost all my candles sending hearts to boats and memories and making friends lolll

[storm palm]

I spent all mine haha

[white sparrow]

Two hours left until the yeeting of beta

[burnt creek]

TWO???????????????????????/

[pseudo quail]

[lucid warren]

im still in class .. got 30 minutes left of it

[storm palm]

Gonna miss my bonfire as a thank you gift for aurora 😭.
My gift is being revoked 😭

[burnt creek]

Being sad is okay, but we have been warned all along

TGC says we shouldn't get attached to our beta accs since it's just a testing environment

[queen helm]

Do you know where to fill in the application form?

[final carbon]

trueee, but i'm only human

[burnt creek]

Soon™️

[lyric mist]

Im recreating my beta baby in live even though he'll be pretty basic

[queen helm]

OK, thank you

[ornate tundra]

Fr some of us have been in beta for +3 years like

[solid swift]

Apparently we shouldn't have gotten attached to our friends on the beta, either. Contact with whom will now be lost forever, due to the fact that we were warned about the beta closing three days in advance.

[ebon bough]

I find it quite poetic, old beta is being terminated in Season of the Blue Bird. A Season about finding happiness in a time of great sadness 🐦

[maiden pond]

I'm wondering if the new beta restructuring means we'll have a different beta app? Maybe not.

[lucid warren]

once im out of class imma make a call for beta sky codes since i still wanna record the last hour of the sky beta .. and have yall be part of the recording

[storm palm]

And we aren't even allowed to finish what we started

[burnt creek]

I was talking about the fact that we've been warned for years of account resets being possible

Whenever I make a friend, I also ask for their contact info if they have any

If they don't, then it's a shame but it's how things go

[solid swift]

even when leaving work, you are given two weeks' notice

[storm palm]

I get that but at the same time they say the free IAPs are gifts to us for volunteering our time as well as like the bonfire for aurora. Those are GIFTS. I don't just yank gifts away from ppl who helped me 👀

[naive solar]

Reposting this for everyone to see before the channels are closed: #beta-discussion message

[burnt creek]

People should start reading the beta faqs 😭

[lyric mist]

you're on to something 👀

[quaint nacelle]

Ooo maybe

[pseudo quail]

it will probably be similar to the pc beta version, you fill a forum and they send you an email (if im not wrong)

[ebon bough]

This is what strikes me the most.

[rustic furnace]

[white sparrow]

Complete overhaul and rework to how beta works should help with the testing

[solid swift]

I have no attachment to the account, candles or cosmetics. But I had an attachment to the people I met on the beta. And since the earners present their game as a friendly family, it was probably worth showing humanity and warning in advance.

[iron elbow]

please let people mourn, this is not the time

[burnt creek]

the gift is the fact that we can get them for free for testing

[radiant swift]

im no beta tester but ik there's less than 2 hours before beta closes down,,, how's everyone doing?

[ashen tusk]

hello again friends, how are we all?

[storm palm]

Again. Keyword...gift

[final carbon]

i always knew there was the possibility to lose my items and such, but i thought i'd get to keep my friends and my account at least 😭 it's for the best but i can't help but be upset to lose this

[radiant drum]

It’s okay to be upset beta will be changing soon, while also understanding this was a possibility all along and what the beta is for. These are not mutually exclusive, and any feelings/suggestions about it can be shared in #beta-feedback with TGC if you haven’t already

[lyric mist]

i just played a sad song with my beta baby for the last time

[burnt creek]

I'm sorry.

[drowsy fiber]

Feeling weird XD I'll miss this place...

[radiant drum]

And of course, sharing them here with others as we near the end Just remember to be kind to each other

[left quest]

I left my lil skykid in orbit to play in the stars

[tardy vault]

Crying

[final carbon]

i wish we'd get a bit more info abt what's going to happen to the discord channels after beta closes

[lyric mist]

you brought them home

[ashen tusk]

y'all not gonna believe this but I have another bug to report and I only just logged in a second ago

[burnt creek]

last report 🥹

[placid iron]

not a tester either but ive engaged with the beta so much it hurts to see it close now

[radiant swift]

hope y'all had fun with your skykids, even i will cry if something i've been with for years suddenly just gone by itself

[radiant drum]

Sago shared there will be more info soon, we just need to WAFO a little longer 🧇

[final carbon]

i left mine there as well ^^ didn't feel right giving her more wings so i kept her capeless lol

[hard void]

Trying hard to accept that I won't see my beta skykid forever

[storm palm]

I wish we had more info and time. This was all sudden and pushed man

[burnt creek]

I wonder if they're planning something big to happen very soon

[maiden pond]

I really don't know what to say now. I don't think any words can prepare us for the eventual purge.

[wooden bluff]

Me being big brain just have your beta sky kid commission for a different game?

[white sparrow]

Im thinking of leaving my skid in orbit online when the servers shutdown, anyone else wanna?

[wooden bluff]

I'm am currently looking for someone outside of sky for it

[dusky apex]

😭

[storm palm]

I think I might go to the void 🤘🔥

[burnt creek]

noooo beta sky season 2025 I'll miss you

[ornate tundra]

I'm just gonna leave my kid in isle

[naive solar]

I don't think they'll remain unlocked, but I'd love for them to remain public until the registrations are open as they transition into the new program. I'm not raising any expectations about it tho

[wooden bluff]

Sure just let me get more wls

[frank ferry]

i left my sky kid at old home cuz thats where they'll always end up in

[placid iron]

going to go to sleep now bye yall im gonna miss beta hype sm i hope yall who get into the private beta have the time of your lives

[iron elbow]

those were very tough fours days for me, so much to process and make peace with in so little time...
but a part of me is glad that the stress that comes with waiting for the inevitable will be over soon, and we all will be able to move on, as best as we can

[wooden bluff]

I would leave my at that one oob in the red place

[final carbon]

hopefully now i can give my live skykid some more attention

[steep kite]

A heartfelt goodbye to this beta channel and beta players! I always enjoyed knowing about new developments in Sky, and seeing the excitement of you all beta testers! But... I guess change happens for good. Thanks and goodbye! 🥹💕

[left ridge]

I'm sorry about beta crashing it gets five big booms BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

[orchid nexus]

hey remember when facebook beta group closed and facebook people were upset? I was so happy to get off facebook and come here! change is painful sometimes but not all changes are bad!

[fringe prism]

It came too suddenly and I still can't accept it until now

[final carbon]

honestly i'm glad it was last minute because i can't imagine waiting a month or so knowing my beta account would close

[white sparrow]

1 hour and 33 minutes left until public beta shuts down forever

[naive solar]

Bumping this again then, in case people want to revisit their older messages or media

[left quest]

I’m hoping not being in beta re-ignites my love for Sky; I’ve been pretty burnt out recently and I haven’t been able to love the game the same, so maybe this change will help me feel like a new player all over again

[burnt creek]

Change is a painful short term, but in long term, it's wonderful.

[signal folio]

Goodbye Children of the Li

[gusty breach]

Your sky kids will be in your hearts 🥹

[orchid nexus]

My first message in this channel

[burnt creek]

How do I find my first message on android?

[iron elbow]

we might never learn who the Li is, but their legacy will live on

[burnt creek]

And they sure had a lotta children

[warped geode]

2 more hours

[tawdry pine]

Having no clue what's next and only relying on #news will definitely have us at the edge of our seat! not knowing what's next has at least the guarantee of surprise

[lucid warren]

my first message here ... back when i was having Processor Woes ...

[ashen tusk]

I can't hear the impending doom over my giggling at the boing boing blue bird cape

[final carbon]

i don't think i even started talking here until 2023 despite my beta account being much older

[steep kite]

Yeah, but again, it will also means we cannot plan things ahead Now I cannot cr ahead of time if any of my fav cosmetic would come

[iron elbow]

oh, moth jaws, if only you knew...

[burnt creek]

Does anyone know?

[mild flume]

Woa ...2021

[tawdry pine]

Digged around and my first beta message was asking about the feast table

[orchid nexus]

you can always CR ahead of time! plan for wonderful things!

[burnt creek]

You silly! Every beta update comes at least 1 hour late on Android!

[left quest]

Little does moth Jaws know that they’d be my bestie !!!!!!

[narrow narwhal]

I misread the time of the beta end and now I won't be home back in time for one last chill time 😔 my first message in this channel was in 2023, but I'll never forget the absolute CHAOS of beta prophecy trials. It was an absolute blast going through that popping in and out of servers with each death, fleeting moments with friends

[steep kite]

Yeah, gotta stock my candles beforehand for events and surprises 🤭💕

[iron elbow]

I'm glad I got to find that out later

[spark lance]

Oh so they're like, completely wiping out the data?

[burnt creek]

Man I'm gonna miss the
"How do I apply for the test suit" messages

[burnt creek]

Completely fresh restart for beta, there will be no testers for a short period and all account data will be reset, after that, they will open closed beta forms

[rain latch]

I will miss you all beta buddies, hopefully they figure out a way for Android device owners to test in the near future. These last five years have been amazing, Thank you ❤️

[orchid nexus]

one of my prize possessions from facebook beta, the highest voted name on the list was one I suggested, and... well, you know what you call them today:

[burnt creek]

Juggernaut

[iron elbow]

"Add Option" gang rise up

[burnt creek]

Bad News Bug

[orchid nexus]

Air BNB for short

[burnt creek]

LMAO

[lilac solstice]

Bad news bug is hilarious I might start using that

[rapid raptor]

juggernaut is fire im ngl

[ornate tundra]

Ngl I rly like juggernaut

[left quest]

Juggernaut’s kinda fire

[narrow narwhal]

Air BNB is amazing I'm using that

[burnt creek]

So glad I was here to find out about it at this moment

[quaint nacelle]

light whippers

[lilac solstice]

If you get krilled but instead it's BNB'ed

[burnt creek]

"I got BNB'ed in the air!"

[sand rune]

juggernaut with the size 14 yuddas.....

[tranquil aspen]

Ehh guys is the bluebird quest tree next to granny supposed to be pink?

[iron elbow]

there's a timeline somewhere where we say we got prawned

[sand rune]

krill issue fr

[random edge]

bug report! quick, while you still can

[lilac solstice]

Last bug report ever guys

[sand rune]

contemplating sending my Bskid to eden....Takes so long though and theres really not enough time for me to eden both my main and alt for screenshots..
oh no wait i dont have to run my main to eden now for the picture merging i can record later

what do yall think

[outer island]

worst beta update ever.

[iron elbow]

one could say we're... accident-prawn

[indigo quarry]

An hour and 9 minutes left guys…

[naive atlas]

how's everyone doing these last few hours?

[ashen tusk]

if you guys hear laughter when you look up at the stars, that’s just me and my homie tlp giggling over all the beta bugs

[lilac solstice]

Actually I'm pretty excited ngl. It's still sad, but I feel hope when thinking about what's potentially on the horizon for beta testing in the future

[spark lance]

As I’m looking at all the beta screenshots and videos I think it’s beautiful that so many of us are returning to the first place we tested and started out

[ornate tundra]

I'm gonna submit a bug report saying this whole shut down is just a huge bug and we'll all be fine😀

[maiden pond]

I can't handle this anymore. I have a lot happening on my plate now and this just makes it even more emotional.

[outer island]

I know they said use beta at the risk of losing everything, but I didn’t think that would ever actually happen

[ebon bough]

I might have left your beta form in Orbit on last time Lint, but I'm taking your spirit with me in my heart to live ❤️

[naive solar]

Bumping this in case people want to get one last look: #beta-discussion message

[native terrace]

one hour,,,

[final carbon]

one hour left 😔 it feels strange i'm not sure how to react to something so inevitable. i'm excited for new changes and improvements to come to sky though!

[random edge]

I using one of my favorite bugs as an emoji in all my new beta friends names I'm adding in live. For all the fun memories here 🍄 Will forever keep searching where those mushrooms went in ark

[spiral geyser]

I will miss you all beta community and friends, it has been fun testing with you

[iron elbow]

yeah, that's how death often feels like

[maiden pond]

We should get no cooldown here the closer we are to the inevitable shutdown. But I think it'd be too chaotic.

[broken bison]

Last minute dropping all the beta confessions 💀

Ok no

[final carbon]

i guess after a while with no threat of reset the possibility seems so unlikely you don't even really consider it

[opaque halo]

only an hour left, thank you all for such a wonderful experience
ill miss yall, hopefully we'll meet again on the other side

[runic path]

Last minute beta update: ||just kidding sorry folks xd||

[maiden pond]

The final hour is at hand...

[pseudo quail]

i kinda feel like theyre going to block this channel as soon as they get down the beta servers LOL

[burnt creek]

@ember ore #beta-faq says:

Access and/or progress wipes. We do this on an as-needed basis for testing purposes. Access wipes are when we kick everyone out of Beta and they must rejoin if they wish to continue being a tester for us, which helps us cycle in new and active testers. Progress wipes are when we reset all testers’ progress in the game. This may include resetting currencies (hearts and/or candles).

[wraith bolt]

The last 60 minutes

[native terrace]

this is like the final hour in Majora's mask

[drowsy forum]

we're about to DIE

[burnt creek]

(They were confused about us being warned the whole time)

[maiden pond]

Don't get me started on the Final Hours music.

[mental otter]

i went through my screenshots of my first day in beta flying around sanctuary and i feel so nostalgic

[unique fox]

1 hour left

[ember ore]

I know this already, did you mean to ping someone else?

[orchid nexus]

soon, beta will look just like it did in 2018: #beta-screenshots-videos message

[wintry magnet]

1 hour left. Thank you all beta testers for helping the game be better and thank you for the spoilers here! They will be missed.
And good luck for all new upcoming beta testers! I have just a beta channels lurker myself, but I hope this time I can join beta too!

[runic path]

Imagine you are at the Apollo launch site

[burnt creek]

You reacted to someone's message saying this with

[ember ore]

Yes, because I was questioning why they reacted as if they didn’t know beta is not permanent

[upper bough]

I’m not a beta tester, but thank you so much for improving the game, finding bugs, and for the previews of new things! I’ll miss you all so much, best of luck on your new adventures!

[muted basalt]

One hour left... And our skychild gonna be a memory stars

[outer island]

i’ve had beta since season of assembly testing, so while i know it’s not permanent, i still didn’t expect a full reset. as im sure many didn’t.

[burnt creek]

They said the opposite, they said they were aware of it, but they didn't think it was actually gonna happen.

Like, there are some stuff that only hits us hard when it actually happens

[haughty raptor]

Guys, I found a very shiny fella in orbit while doing my very last eden run here on beta

[ember ore]

It’s hard to tell/understand meaning without tone, just like how you thought I don’t read #beta-faq or #beta-announcements . I know you mean to be helpful though!

[native terrace]

I'm putting the ✨ emoji for all my beta friends

[final carbon]

i gotta run to my lab now, so I wanted to thank all of you for being such kind friends and dedicated testers. i've made so many good memories over the years and i'm excited and sad to see what changes are coming ^^ hopefully i can pop back in before channels close, but if not, this will probably be my last message here

[ashen tusk]

That’s cute! I put a caterpillar 🐛

[native terrace]

buga,,,

[pseudo quail]

ARE WE GETTING BEANED?

[fervent ridge]

Hey how are you all doing? Seems like we are at the last hours

[drowsy forum]

last hour, more like :^)

...or last 55 minutes, depending on TGC

[orchid nexus]

the shiny light of your sky child is your own inner light. you can say goodbye to beta as it is today, but you can't lose the light

[muted basalt]

Totally sad, kinda heavy to left em

[outer island]

so we will have to re-sign up if we want to continue using beta correct?

[pseudo quail]

what if the actual beta are all the friends we made along the way

[arctic bough]

so bad

[drowsy forum]

can you beta test friends?

[lyric mist]

what if this is just an early april fools joke?

[compact island]

Idk if I can ask this in the Questions chat but the next season is about a Blue Bird and it's supposed to be a collab? I can't figure out what The Blue Bird is from

[native terrace]

i'd be so mad LMAO

[burnt creek]

Why didn't anyone think of creating a server with as many old testers as possible just to hang out?

[arctic bough]

It’s true

[lyric mist]

someone did

[native terrace]

isn't someone doing that? (if someone did pls shoot me a link I'd like in)

[maiden pond]

There are servers already actually.

[sly arch]

Friends… The countdown starts now
53 minutes left

[fervent ridge]

Really?

[ashen tusk]

I think a few of those exist already, but we can’t promote other servers here - still people can reconnect across this server just as well I hope to see many of you around still!

[burnt creek]

I mean one made specifically for this occasion, so we can try to bring as many people as possible

[unreal tusk]

1 hour left

I think I will stay on beta until the time ends, it's nice talking with you all everyone.

🥲

[orchid nexus]

there's this server too! some of the other channels might be daunting to people who only hang in beta, but there's room for everyone

[pseudo quail]

i need to take a pic of the red fower they gifted on a stress test

[iron elbow]

I can't thank this community enough
I owe beta chat so many memories, friends, connections, experiences... it was my main reason to log into discord for a very good while
three full years later, I know I've changed, and I know it's time for beta to change as well, no matter how much it hurts
thank you.

[tawdry pine]

Come to #seasons-events-chat , we get to talk AND send images

[burnt creek]

I gotta say the same

[ashen tusk]

and sometimes gifs if you’re cool enough I’m not

[flat otter]

always remember our lights shine brighter together - Aurora I hope we can all see each other in the sky someday thanks to all

[tawdry pine]

I got da power ✨

[fervent ridge]

I might hang around between cozy and season events chat since those seem quite chill

[sand rune]

done even know where to send my skid....

[worthy tulip]

[burnt creek]

IMAGES AND MESSAGES IN THE SAME CHANNEL?!

WE, THE BETA OGs GOT ROBBED!!!

[ashen tusk]

I use skycord like an elevator just going up and down visiting all the channels

[drowsy forum]

And we are getting robbed even further!

answering the ?: because betan't

[sudden pine]

ngl i have most of skycord muted cuz it's too chatty everywhere

[idle nexus]

I can't go on or play during the last little bit (I technically could, but my boss might have other ideas )

But beta crew, it's been an amazing time! Hopefully we can see each other in live or in beta someday. Take care of yourself and get some ice cream to tide everything over as our sky kids go up in flames.

[fervent ridge]

Me too, the only channels I don't have muted is news and poll of the week

(still can't win one after all those years)

[burnt creek]

I'm about to get some Iscream

[lyric mist]

Im grabbing myself a pizza of pain

[proud acorn]

beta channels are the only thing i check on here im gonna miss this

[sudden pine]

guys where are we gonna convert live to waiting rooms tho? (memes? fanart? screenshots?)

[native terrace]

I have an entire friend constellation full of beta friends,,, this is so cool

[burnt creek]

#seasons-events-chat !!!

We can talk AND send waiting room images

[ashen tusk]

#seasons-events-chat will probably be the best space to have season waiting rooms

[tawdry pine]

Off season waiting room!!

[rich rapids]

How much longer is it till beta is done done ..I live in an est time zone lol

[burnt creek]

44 minutes

[ashen tusk]

I just know it’s going to take at least half a year to get out of the habit of scrolling down here to see what beta is up to

[native terrace]

o7 to all the android players we android betas did all we could, see you in the next android beta wave

[drowsy forum]

44 if TGC is right on time!

[warped geode]

Just know you're not alone, and we’re here for you! Take it easy, and don’t forget to take care of yourself. Sending good vibes your way! 💛✨

[rich rapids]

Well if any one's still in orbit I'm doing one last bang in beta by playing some Aurora songs

[worthy tulip]

Cool places to leave your skykid:

• Valley Colosseum OOB (The one with the sunset and stars!)
• Rainbow Bridge OOB in the Isle (is it still there? That was my favorite when I started)

If you prefer in bounds:

• After Eden
• Your Nest
• Yeti Mountain (The one you race down in the quest!)
• Starlight Desert

[left quest]

Rainbow bridge!!! It should still be there!

[rich rapids]

I can't ever find the rainbow bridge anymore LOL

[tawdry pine]

Mine is at jellyfish cove, playing the triumph bugle with it's fellow jellyfish until the end

[gilded parrot]

Do you want our team to make peace? I’d rather make peas!

[ebon bough]

I never even felt this bad when PSHome shut down after 6 years. What has this game done to me?

[pseudo quail]

Starlight desert hits hard knowing that we said goodbye to tlp there

[warped geode]

oooooo anything to confess ?

[tawdry pine]

Skybot this supposed to be a emotional moment

[worthy tulip]

Oh that's so cute... waaaa

[quaint anchor]

I don't want my child to die

[lyric mist]

I said goodbye to mine dressed as aurora ( the season we started our journey. ), in the starlight desert playing "through the eyes of a child."

[viscid umbra]

I left mine in the realm portals because thats where everyone starts their journey from (before the aviary update)

[left quest]

I wanna thank Beta for helping me find my soulmate, I think that’s all I have to say.

We left our skykids together in Orbit, they’re playing with Megabird!

[warped geode]

Personally it would be in the snowy peaks hot springs, that is my safe place.

[fervent ridge]

Your child won't die, it's just gonna return to the mother bird and be happy

[strong sentinel]

I left mine sleeping in the nest
They won’t even know that in that universe they will go on without me watching other them
But I hope all the skills I taught them will be enough to stay happy

[ashen tusk]

I wanna thank beta for all the times I got stuck inside boxes, holes in maps, and walls or floors!

[proud acorn]

your sky kid is just going to sleep, thats all

[white sparrow]

There is a very nice cubby cavee under the water in the moomin house map someone should find it if theyd like a good spot to rest

[native terrace]

I can't say my confession it gets nuked (I experienced a funny bug with music basically)

[rich rapids]

Know what ima relocate if any one wants to listen to some Aurora songs come to the Starlight desert i know I'm asking a bunch you most likely won't end up in the same server but still .. one last beta performance for yall ❤️

[left quest]

Bubba gets chibi-clipping through every surface she can find powers

[severe lion]

To all Beta Skykids playing in the stars now, I wish you all a good night. Thank you for being here!

[frail needle]

I thought it would be cute to say farewell in the memorial spot of starlight desert…because my beta skid will become a memory…

The music is tugging at my heartstrings

[lyric mist]

your sky child is just returning to the stars and can play with all of our sky kids. and when you go through Eden in live, you'll see them again because they'll welcome you with a hug

[viscid umbra]

I like to think that after the wipe, our skykids will become stars in the sky (this sounded better in my head sorry)

[ashen tusk]

I will forever think about this, Mimic has many nickels now

[left quest]

I collect beta testers like collectible WAFOs to talk to after the purge

[native terrace]

collecting beta friends like pokemon cards,,,

[viscid umbra]

Okay but how do you guys find so many people to friend in beta rn? I need answers

[unique fox]

That abyss candle bug convert alongside visible chat bug made me meet a lot of people

[charred tide]

Its hard to say goodbye to our beta skykid… time to give flowers from our skykid on live

[west flame]

I have a request, but it's not for me.

I want you guys to make a group. The group you're looking for, is eachother, after this all ends. Stick together, make groups of eachother. Make the beta-looking-for-group literal.

Someone is forming a Discord for ex-betas, some are going to live version with close friends. Whatever it is, don't let go of eachother. What you guys made over the years for live was special, but what you made with eachother is something even more. Keep the beta friendships alive. Only you guys can do it.

Thank you for everything you've done for us live players. I can't follow everyone wherever you go, but for what it's worth, I think you guys are amazing, greater together than when you are apart.

Have a good day, once again, thank you for everything, from this one live player to all of you. With gratitude always, your work never forgotten. - Loki

[worthy tulip]

You're a holographic in my collection

[native terrace]

to my beta->live friends, would you like to go krill dodging once the beta servers close? Or explore an OOB area

[naive atlas]

i imagine it like the little prince said:
"my star will just become one of the stars, for you"

(it sounds sad but i interpret it as our beta skids shining in the night sky just for us)

As the beta comes to an end, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU not just to the devs for this amazing experience, but to all the incredible people I’ve met along the way. Testing the app, sharing feedback, and just chatting here has been such a fun and memorable journey. From all the laughs to the great discussions, I’ll truly cherish the moments we’ve had together.

And of course, a special thanks to our dear Sky Kids, who bravely tested, glitched, faceplanted, and bonked their way through this beta with us. May they soar forever in our hearts (and hopefully not get stuck in walls one last time ). 💙✨

Wishing the best for Beta’s future and for all of you, thank you for being part of this adventure! I’m really looking forward to the next beta and hope to see you all again so we can test together once more! 💖

And always remember, we are all warriors of light ! ✨

[placid sonnet]

Everyone’s farewells remind me of Truman’s “In case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.”

30 MINUTES LEFT UNTIL EVERYONE IN BETA IS GONE

[lyric mist]

[burnt creek]

HIII SAGO

[maiden pond]

Send me a DM, I have quite a few pins but I can't use all of them due to being on my Switch most of the time.

[strong sentinel]

I hope we are not making devs cry too much while they try working

[left quest]

I’ll send you a friend request on Discord to send one!

[severe lion]

Might I suggest we all listen to The Light Beyond together?

Last minutes beta confession:

I forgot soooo many times to bug report

[fervent ridge]

Can I send u a code too?

[burnt creek]

Hangout place suggestion: anywhere with new content, so we say goodbye (for now) to the last new things beta gave us

[frosty trout]

Hi everyone! It's been really lovely to read all of your posts here and to see your pics in the beta screenshots channel. ❤️

Just a quick reminder—closing the beta is a manual process. Some folks may lose access at noon, and others not for perhaps 10-15 minutes (potentially more).

Mentioning that in case it caused any confusion in the chat!

[lyric mist]

may I slip into your dms to send one?

[viscid umbra]

Just to remind beta kids, this is not the end

[strong sentinel]

Same
I just had so little energy after work this whole year 💀

[naive atlas]

we listen and we dont judge /ref

[maiden pond]

Oh yeah, by the way, thatskyshop is going to be closing down soon to get ready for another merch wave!

[quiet obsidian]

AUGHHH HALF AN HOUR ILY ALL GOODBYE i haven’t played sky in months and yet im still tearing up over this. beta has so many beautiful memories for me. all my current online friends have been made through sky beta!!! thanks for all the doots and wafos and server error purgatory messages. i miss it always and i’ll miss it even more now.

[warped geode]

sure!

[pseudo quail]

does sky shop only delivers to USA?

[left quest]

Yeah of course!! My DMs should be open now!

[fading basalt]

Thanks for keeping Beta up all these years Sagomay. Bye Beta ❤️

Who's going to push the off button?

[ashen tusk]

As far as I know they have worldwide shipping, I’m not sure if there are any regional restrictions, those will likely be listed on the website

[left quest]

(And pinging @warped geode too cause of slow mode) of course!

Anyone’s allowed to DM me!! Please reach out!! I’ll try to reach out after I deliver a package!

[elfin wharf]

That'd be cool! 🤭

[mental hull]

I will miss this energy to explore so much
I would make a special thanks but no words came to my mind to describe this.
It was fun to participate the tests with everyone, I wish you all a safe way back to live

I left my kid at their very home: Underground cave, when i first joined this adventure on beta and fell for all the delights to explore again and again

Thank you all for making this real, guys

[iron elbow]

remember that time when my artbook was stuck in berlin for like two weeks?

[dry falcon]

I'll be hopping back on beta soon just to spend the last 15 minutes or so in stormlocked aviary and orbit just to be here for the final moments of this version of the beta. watch me burst into tears again while doing that

[sand rune]

[rich rapids]

Any one else wanna add me in beta I can invite more people to my little concert
If so dm me

[warped geode]

it's okay, you can cry...

[dry falcon]

I just realised now I could make lore between my beta skyd and my live skysona once the next season's in live, i'm absolutely going to release an emotional trainwreck of lore. but for now, time to shimmy around one more time as beta skyd <3 (who i have decided to, funny enough, name Betad after a typo a friend made)

[lyric mist]

queendom and through the eyes of a child next

I need pain and tears,

[worthy tulip]

I like to imagine all the beta skids will be stars in the live sky

[severe lion]

"In one of those stars, your Skykid will be living. In one of them they shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night. And when your sorrow is comforted you will be content that you have known them. They will always be your friend... they shall not leave you."

[native terrace]

that's what I'm doing :')

[quiet obsidian]

auauauau i’m having eye water

[pseudo quail]

and all the stars will be our friends!

[lyric mist]

now in live I'm always going to be looking up at the stars like "hey little buddy, hope you're flying so happily up there."

[fervent ridge]

Noooo, I'm really gonna start crying in my lunch break

[frank slate]

[warped geode]

[broken bison]

Will try to be on beta until 12PM

[dry falcon]

This generation of beta skykids have completed their mission set out by TGC Megabird. May they now rest in Megabird's embrace in the stars <3

(sorry, felt like being a lil sappy and poetic)

[quiet obsidian]

actually broken down sobbing at the dinner table

[severe lion]

We'll listen to Queendom together around 10 minutes before the end.

[strong sentinel]

Same...

[lyric mist]

I think my tears just fell onto my pizza

[viscid sundial]

spending these last moments with a friend I made in Eden just an hour ago

[worthy tulip]

Oh noo... soggy pizza

[strong sentinel]

Salting my corn with my tears 😭

[quiet obsidian]

[tropic orbit]

[wraith bolt]

In 15 minutes :

"In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night."

[severe lion]

It's okay, you can cry!

[broken mist]

and there it is... our final night alive

[frank slate]

I will water the ground where I stand, so the flowers can grow back again

[ashen tusk]

I just wanted to say in this time of mixed emotions, it’s okay to feel however you’re feeling, to need space to process everything or comfort amongst one another. Just remember to be gentle with yourself, cherish your memories and the friendships you’ve made.

You’ve worked hard, you deserve kindness and rest.

[unique fox]

looking at the waves in isle one last time

[iron elbow]

my cat came to comfort me while I cry

[mild flume]

Not me completely unfocused at work because of the Dawn of Open Beta ...

15min to go!

[native terrace]

As the end comes upon us, I want to say thank you.

Beta was so fun, and I've met many ppl here. You're all so wonderful and kind and after an incident a few years ago where I became terrified of playing on Live at all, being on Beta let me still enjoy the game. I've since gotten over that fear, but I'm so grateful for you all <3

I'm able to enjoy the game again thanks to everyone, and for that I'll forever be grateful. Even if my gratitude shows up as me being one very nefarious krill-dodging bird.

May the light illuminate your path, everyone! I'll see everyone on live and hopefully in the new beta.

• Krill

[dense crane]

I wrote a litte poem to send my little one off<3

A Poet’s Parting

I am not the kind to carve my name in stone,
nor leave my footprints trailing behind—
but if you listen, if you truly listen,
perhaps you'll hear me in the wind.

A hush between heartbeats, a whisper through trees,
a breath against your windowpane—
soft and fleeting, never bound,
but always, always there.

Do not weep for what was borrowed,
for what was always meant to fade.
The stars do not grieve the morning sky,
nor does the tide beg the shore to stay.

Hold me in your laughter,
in the spaces between your sighs,
in ink smudged on your fingertips,
in the hush of rain, the hush of night.

I was not made for permanence,
but I was made for love.
And that—that is enough.

I've took my betakid to the Eden one last time
I've made a new friend during my journey
**It's not the end
It's the new begining **
Lots of love to all beta testers it was nice to be a part of this community and lurk here time to time <3

[runic path]

I'm still in eden. It's now constantly popping up network unstable, should I report this one?

[frail needle]

May we all shine as bright stars in the Sky.

Dear Cosmo, I’ll look up for you. I’ll search the constellations and smile when I find the one that feels like you — the one that flickers with warmth and mischief, like you always did. ❤️
