Think I’ll do something for a few hours. Fire up the game later. Hopefully there’ll be changes...
Journey cape is so pretty 😭 why did they remove such a gorgeous cape.
It’s basically the opposite to chibi mask where one becomes big
good night guys,it's sleeping time for Asia
I would just like to point out that the devs said they would START beta cape redemption on Monday.
As in, this might take longer than just Monday
That we know of
Lowkey want journey cape to come back
We don't know what they have to go through to verify who gets one first before rolling it out to live accounts
Database search
The journey cape looked really weird in game
Super large, no arms, washed out colors
It didn’t work in the game at all
Yeah it did, it was very blocky
I just want to be tall 😭
Wait hold on
???
Big baby
The whole chat is silent
Everyone is exhausted from waiting for so long for the cape
big boi cape
I wouldn’t say everyone, Theo
I am doing daily quests and wax farming
But the game just crashed while I was watching someone play the piano in Home
Strange
Maybe maybe
Btw guys today is Monday in my country,so I'm which country must be monday ? Just to know kkkkkkk
In*
it's been Monday in most countries of the world for a while now, I believe
all countries and it’s already Tuesday in some parts of asia
Maybe its next monday lol
It’s a small team and the reward process seems like it’s partially manual. Their office closes at 5pm PST, 8pm EST. So I’m sure we’ll hear about it before then. ☺️
The light collectibles in the first Valley race course. Some look a shade of blue. Have they always been that colour?
@bronze wind If you’ve run the race already today they show up that color to indicate that will not earn wax from them
@trim skiff 😩would’ve been a nice touch. Collect the blue ones to unlock that cape 😀
You know what would be a nice touch ? If there was a way to put down the dark dragon. like an 8 group all likened up shouting at the same time behind the dragon. Would be crazy kkkkkkkkkk
You should write that in the #wishlist-and-ideas-archived
waiting with baited breath as the community manager appears to be typing in this chat 😮
Hey all! Just to update: the team decided to give everyone all of Friday, in case there were any stragglers who missed the Beta reward messaging.
We will redeeming Beta rewards this afternoon (PST).
the typing has stopped - we have been blessed 
Thank you for the update!
So if someone logged on 9th of august is still eligible for reward?
Also hi Aeri nice to meet ya!
considering staying up all night, because it's 10pm in my time zone, but I have to work tomorrow
le gasp
(I’m going to general now because I don’t have beta and I just came here to say hi to Aeri cuz they cool)
Belpita, I would reccomend sleeping as the reward will still be there for you when you return
yeah, I realise that is probably the best choice, if I want to keep my job
One more question— completing the forest should have been during first login or in august?
before the launch of Live
a timer?
Countdown i mean
Thank you for bearing with us on our lack of communication on reward redemption, all. We ultimately are trying to do what we can to ensure as many people get their cape today as possible.
If you were unable to log into the same Game Center in live for some reason, please put in a CS ticket afterwards and we will assist folks that way. 😊
(And please don't stay up for this! Sleep is good for you, friend. 😄 )
but we don't really have a set time, meepo...?
@spark lance cut it out
jeez, I knew it was them
@hollow compass my bad, I misread that announcement
Whats a CS ticket?
@radiant badger Customer support
Oh ok
You open a request using the in-game Support option found in the main menu (upper right)
When does afternoon start-end in cali?
The support in this game is amazing, out of this world. It never happens to me, such a care for the players. It's just lovely . Thank you so much
I am bad at non-european time 
Will there be an in-game notification for the beta capes?
How will we know we’ve received them?
Meepo, what time zone are you in?
And mrmindgame, we dont know yet
Itll be there, but we dont know if we'll be notified if it gets to us
i think the afternoon is starting now as it is 14:00 there
so i guess it ends at 19h?
maybe in 5 hours
idk
Thats what I believe it would be
I find that adding 12 to a pm times hour works as well
i don’t like the pm am system, it confuses me lmao
@remote shuttle you can use a time zone conversion website
Americans don’t math too good. 🤣
I know you’re joking @trim skiff but that’s still not a very nice thing to say
when it’s 12:30 am is it midday or midnight?
idk
i prefer 0:30 or 12:30
I was joking. I’m American. And I did find the time math a little confusing when I lived in Europe. So if anything I was joking on myself. Sorry
Yeah I kinda figured that might be. We just don’t want any broad negative cultural generalizations
am is short for ante meridian, so that’s before noon
pm is post meridian or ... yup after noon
so 12:30 am is midnight?
Yep
yeah 30 minutes after midnight
lol, i like the normal system better
yes it’s easier internationally for sure
🤔
in some places 24 hour time is also called military time
I just wanted to say that ^ 😛
if the whole US, used that :p
lives would be easierrr!
so when do we expect a military coup 😛
OMG OMG OMGGGG
I completely agree ... and don’t get me started on metrics
hahaha indeed
Thank yu TGC Beta cape looks so sick!!!!
owh and add celsius!
I start to understand that am/pm system.... still don't like it. 😃
anyway.. were still ante ... eh.. promontorium?
you got the cape?
or post promontorium now?
SHALL I uULOAD PICS?
gotta check
sure
bETA CAPe
LMAO!
I think.. that's a glitch...
looks like a christmas tree
Unique 4 surr
It’s so beautiful 🤧
but where did you get that hairstyle?
@spark lance its 23:18 here
Ditto
yeah i want that hairstyle
Can yu guys vote for me to joing TGC lead art designer?
Meepo if i remember correctly their office would close at like 2:00 for you
Thank you tg
I’ve gotten a bit too familiar with this corner
o_o
Almost sent that’s-bait.gif before 😆
Discussing hacks is against the rules of the server.
TGC is aware of the issue
Can you delete your comments on it please
Thank you!
No worries , sorry for it
It’s ok just keep it in mind
renaber to sleep all 😃
i cnow its exsiting loking for the cap but dont let it go ower your helf
Thanks cat!
np we somtime ned to be riminded that we all are humans , I do beliv TGC is doing ther best to revord us , even dow i lost acsess to beta logn time ago du to no logner awalebole code , im stil surtent I to wil se the cape one happy day 😃
afternoon is 0-2:30 hours from now
i think
someone here said hours at tgc were until 5:00 pm pst
I believe that was dune
did they say which monday? 😛
Aeri already said today winter 👀
('this winter') 😛
Ye, they said this afternoon

winter
dang
you got me there
i just checked the message
it just said monday lmao
not next monday
just monday

well... as with live.... we'll get it, when we get it.
Nooo it said this afternoon
But the laste message said this afternoon
good point
help! a joke backfired! what do I do now? 😃
I have no idea what TGC’s hours are, but if it’s like most game companies ... uh people work all kinds of insane hours
You gotta pretend like nothing happened winter!
"I did not say this ... I am not here... " (from the movie.... ah... forget it... -_-)
@spark lance you’ve been duped
Never duped but occasionally duplicitous
I think you spelled clown wrong

Are we getting the cape in beta or in live?
Live
Ok, thanks
sure anytime
Technically afternoon is until 5:00 PM. Evening starts at 5:01 PM to 8:00 PM. Then night is from sunset to sunrise.
So hopefully 5 PM 😱 (Just cross our fingers)
it’s hard to say 🤔 I just want it as soon as they can roll it out
I would speculate before end of day which is roughly in 2 hours.
Lowkey hoping for a journey cape
No a Flow cape.
Someone mentioned transparent manta-like cape. To think about it, it’s actually a great idea
Journey 😭 I wanna look tall,lanky,creepy, and out of place
It’s “today” until reset!
@remote shuttle a cosmic one would be really pretty :D
Ooh yeah, some sort of transparent/cosmic/manta cape would look really nice
If that’s not the beta cape, I’d still love to see it as an unlockable later.
What do they mean by beta reward messaging? Where do u get the message
So what is the cs just curious
customer service
@storm flicker I know you mean it as a joke, but that’s not really a nice thing to say. Can you edit your message?
@remote shuttle i'm actually doodling that concept
i got a sky notification bc someone lit my star and i almost had a heart attack
Same, someone liked my note just now
Same lol
@quiet citrus cant wait to see it
🥰

Not going to lie. I’m going to laugh if we’ve had all hyped this so much and then they are like “here is a slightly lighter blue cape” everyone will be like 😮 regardless though I plan to be grateful regardless 😄 the fact that they’re going to all the trouble is the important thing
👀 the feeling when you’re waiting for a package to arrive and find out that they left a notice in your mailbox to pick it up tomorrow.
Same applies for the cape
did they leave a notice?
no but I was waiting for a package today 😂
Lol
Lol
It was so vague they said the package will arrive by the end of the day... so I did nothing all day and when they “came” they didn’t even knock or buzz 😭 I was so sad since I would’ve been very punctual on getting my mail 😩
now I have to go to the post office tomorrow 😩 but oh well
check your capes guys 😃
wHat? They’re out
Stop trolling
I better not FLIP
@astral arch Oh, okay. So it is an actual physical cape we are getting in the mail after all...
Did you see it?
There’s nothing
its invisible
Except my sad cape selection screen
Asdfghjkl
Fool me once
The cloak of invisibility
And we will get fooled twice
lol sorry it was so tempting
Don’t scare me like that lol
( e _ e ) I give you the Stewie death stare eyes
You guys are trolling so much that when the cape actually comes out im not even gonna believe
I can let you know
that’ll happen for sure 😂
Don’t loose faith in the Cape’s religion
cape leaked
Looks nice
Wow so beautiful
I mean at least use something better then Microsoft paint. 😂
Somehow it looked like Candy Pizza that i can eat
||S||||p||||o||||i||||l||||e||||r|||| ||||a||||l||||e|||| ||||r||||t||||:|||| |||| |||| |||| ||
I just got bored but congrats if you had the time to click each space :3
It took some time to tap the smaller crevices
Bet it will come 4pm
I think its next monday guys
Maybe 5 PM pacific / 8 PM EST
It is Tuesday here
Woke up early for nothing
sucks living in Bermuda
lowkey had no sleep today and Friday because I was too excited to see the cape
we should protest
yes then they’ll say this evening 😛
block off all out local highways
then night
our
Lol
conspiracy theory: there never was a beta cape
lol
That would be funny
We're working on it, guys. I promise! 😅
But it’s not april fools yet
Aeri!!!!
Nah, we're not that mean 😛
it’s ok, we’re just joking
+1
If I have my way, April Fool's jokes will always include puppies. I'm the worst at mean jokes.
Aeri can you guys let me beta test the beta Cape? ill make sur its ready for the rest?
Haha, sorry, friend - wish we could!
I want puppies
...is that an Oreo reaction?
If we joined 11th of July does it still count as before the launch
April fools 1 - Puppy companion that acts like an actual puppy:
- Attacks you playfully
- Sleeps
Aeri is secretly distracting us in conversation knowing full well the capes are in our inventory perfect plot twist 😱
I was anxious before because i was a beta test quite long ago and took rest from it.
School🥺
The capes when you get them are actually going straight to your closet. You'll see it flashing like it does after you unlock a normal cosmetic - flashing red dot.
OMG IMMA CHECK
It's not out yet
just when you open the game?
😩jesus take the wheel
The devs are still working on it - I'll let you know when they have told me they've completed it 😄
YAY
or do you need to click on something for it to go
Okay, back to my work - will check this chat again in a bit later 
😱
Take care!

(∩ᵒ̴̶̷⌔ᵒ̴̶̷∩)
Ben im guessing its gonna be like when you buy a cosmetic and it goes to your closet
thank you aeri!
So its just alerting you something new is there
I’m scared because I joined the day the game was going to be launched but wasn’t
joined the beta?
Yeah
I lied - saw Delirium's comment as I was walking away.
The last time we did Beta invites was on June 12th. There was no way to join the Beta after that invite wave unless TGC manually added your email.
Limited Live, however, was out before our global launch. Were you playing on that version?
wow had no idea it was still open that late
Limited Live was the version of Sky before global iOS launch in July, that wasn't the Beta test server. It was available in Philippines, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand, and Singapore, I believe.
Delirium you have testflight installed?
@shy nest you wont bro might as well stuff your face with ube cake and halo halo
j/k lol
First it’s Beta TestFlight right?
I just dreamt of desserts in game not too long ago
Well y’all will know where I will be 😂😂😂
OMG ME HAHAHA
I’m just sayin I got here first hahah
lol im scared it wont migrate while still active in my session so im staying off till I see screenshots galore
But pudding honey.. you joined after global right?
Omg
So Light awaits dont get the cape?
I joined the game the first week of launch in the Philippines uhm 2-3 yrs ago?
ignis you brazilian?
Same for beta
Ye, brazilian
Soft launch where you at?
laughing in portugese is a racist cult in english lol
I used VPN for a long time,just to play the game hahaha
@humble fossil
That line of messages was off. I hope @humble fossil saw that
just be careful lol
We know, thats why we never laugh with just 3
I thought of the kkk restaurant @short sapphire in the philippines
Luckily I'm using 4.
lol Sao Paulo FC e numero um!!
I heard you pud
Voce também é br JaeMelo?
@shy nest lol wait there is a resturant called kkk?
Wait is that tom holland 😳
Vpn too?
Oop👀
I saw it
BenJasmin half lol
Yesh @short sapphire i felt superstitious going in it
hey so is the cape out yet?
They’ll announce it
I still dont know if ill get it or not
Hi Banjie my man 🔥
So does July 11th count as before global launch 😢
Well, it should
Omg who are u
👀
I cant find dave’s name in my list because it exceeds pass over 5 pages of friends @humble fossil
@short sapphire @radiant badger this is a english-only server, please keep discussion in English so everyone can understand
will do mirian
All i can say in english is. cries in filipino
So just to address, those who only played the light awaits before the global lunch,will not be getting the cape ?
Apparently
Thx :)
It’s so silent here
yes, it is.
The angel passed by
I'm so sorry if this is off topic, but i couldn't resist after reading everyone spazzing about the lack of capes in our inventory
After i saw aeri’s comment, I think I can’t get the cape 😦
Did u join beta at the same time?
I probably won’t get it either
I joined after 12 th June 2019
Same :(
But I think she said it’s before August 9th
But read the latest in #beta-announcements
It’s true not every current beta tester qualifies
I don’t really know tho
if I joined 11th July do I qualify
And I finished eden that same day
I am not the person to say whether you qualify or not.
Scroll up a bit, we are not registered with our emails
I am
I am
If you think you do after reading Aeri’s posts, and it’s been a few days and you have not received the cape, then you can contact support to ask whether you qualify
I would wait a few days though
Wait and see for now
Thanks, Ill ask them in a few days if I don’t get it
it goes without saying ask politely and try not to stress about it
Support is pretty crunched these days as you might imagine

Samesies
I like it
I don’t have it >:(
oh my god i got her 💙
Ahhhhhh omg it's so pretty!!! 😍
Restart the game @shy nest
flips table
I restarted my game like 5 times :/
I got 73 candles wooo
The cape is TGC blue!
Wow same
OMG I GOT IT
question
FOR GIVING ME YOUR BLESSINGS
can u still get the beta app? or is it too late :/
i havent got it just waiting :D.
i can stop worrying now lol
But 72 candles is nice
can i still get the beta cape or is it too late
ME TOO GIRL
I usually don’t like bright colors, but this one is pale enough I’ll wear it regularly. I was hoping for an “icier” blue though. Oh well!
thank you tgc
I got it too
Nice coloooooor
nvm just got it internet lagging
Yayyyyy i got mine 🥰
Yay, yay yay!!
So I just looked online is this the first blue cape? I can’t see any others
I got the cape 
anyone wanna trade some candles for hearts??
I absolutely do @strange fossil
Uh
But sadly I’m sleeping now it’s late
i have like 75 hearts now
Heart trading is against the #old-𝚛ules
I literally have zero hearts no one gives anything back to me lol I’m the only one who does the giving
Wait what
Why is it banned
It lead to a lot of harassment and general bad behavior
I’m fed up of constantly giving and getting back nothing, how is one ever supposed to unlock everything in this game 😐
i’ve got more than ten hearts from message candles
that’s like free hearts every day
how to know guys if you recieve beta cape
@cyan cargo slow down and make good friends
i checked beta nothing there
ow. let me check
blue!!
For those waiting, try going to a level and going back home to reload.
restart the app
That too.
if you get candles but no cape, restart
thank
f
crap that’s a ton of candles
yessuh!
my sweetest thanks. ahahah. i saw a pop up on my cape area. wahooooooooo
thanks a lot skyplaymates
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
How many candles did we get exactly? I had like 14 before and I had 88 when I joined the game
Yeah, I was only expecting a few candles.
But I don’t remember exactly what I had before so that’s why I don’t know the exact number of candles we got
it's like 75
yes i think ~75
Yaaaaay a lot of candles now I just need hearts🤣
oh i apologize @lusty light im so dumb, i even looked at the rules before asking for trades just in case, but my brain skipped it bc i was skinming the rules lol
i just want to know if there are rituals to approach the cape area and prayer before touching the cape. 😂😂😂😂
@strange fossil it’s alright! Just make sure not to do it in the future
it may get dusted or soiled
ok thanks. duly noted
im aftaid to touch the cape. ahahaha. thanks tgc. thanks friends
I need to figure it how to get hearts in the game since i just started 2 days ago
i will put it on a frame
You get hearts either from buying them from spirits or from in game friends gifting them to you
So take time and make good friends that you play with regularly
yup pyro. you can ask for a trade. but the feeling of a special someone you befriended that will give you hearts unconditionally feels more heavenly.
It's blue. Cape is free, beta dye
@umbral glade I see you got your cape!
Yes! You too?
@viscid dragon too?
i havent touch my cape yet
Lmao all of us did!
Haha @spark lance
i will ask for a sky guard to cordon me while i approach it
@spark lance Cape is free, beta dye, cape is freeeee beta dye, cape is free beta dye
Not all of us @storm flicker 💔
Nooooo did you restart your game
you may need to restart more than once
I’m good, just noting a few others here and in game.
some got candles but no cape until after restart
Bear has to do it like three times got his candle pack first
I tried really hard to stay away from the game for a while earlier. Leave my session alone so it wouldn’t get messed up. 😂
Is a beta cape meme too soon for #sky-memes?
morning call😆
are we gonna run or just walk towards claiming it. any suggestions
Oh I ran.
ahahah. it might got splashed with water
😂
im still thinking how to document it
🤔
Already having players take pictures of me. This is amusing.
well. guys. that cape corresponds to a great responsibility i guess other that testing the game and moving forward, helping our dear new player to the best of what we can
I got it!
THANK YOU TGC!! ❤️
Yaaaay Beta Team 
I got 72 candles
@pulsar blade I love your mindset, Momo! 
Hehehe it’s Sky blue.

ahoooooooo. yeheeeeeyy. i havent got mine yet. still thinking how to fetch it
It’s reflects with other capes colors?
No you just glow when you’re near a player
Yeah
Cool
@pulsar blade Maybe never fetch it... Leave your cape closet glowing... Forever 😜
ahahah. i cant figure how to get it. ahahah😂
it glows at the cape closet, like how it glows when you buy a different clothing
its there. am still thinking how to document it.
ohh :p
AAAAND I’m already broke again. Spent nearly all the candles buying the remaining hearts from the spirits.
On the plus side I have half the hearts I need for the black cape.
Considering this past week, I wish I’d bought it first so I could wear it as a mourning cape.
Love the beta cape, just got it! My favorite shade of my favorite color, I’ll wear it proudly 😊
got it haha
i want to write the devs a thank you letter 😭💙
The dev team's reading this channel, so your thanks are seen by 'em.

Thansk Devs!!!!! 😃
Thank yooou for all you do! 
Yeah... Don't even know what to say. It's been a great experience this far, and I can't wait to see where it goes. 
devs if you're reading this make a dune hat for next batch of beta players
thanks
prototype with your pfp wearing it
it’s so pretty!
Thanks for the cape and candles. 🦋
Thanks you very much!
I think this cape is even better than the black one
Or even the seasonal ones!
♥️🧡💛 thanks devs! It's lovely.
Thanks Developers awesome cape. You guys are the best. Look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Thank you devs!, this is so beautiful and such a kind reward ❤️❤️
It’s an awesome color 😊🙏 thanks Devs and can’t wait for the next seasonal
Thank you to the team. It’s such a kind and very appreciated gesture.

lovely
Hmmm beta cape?
Hmmm
Thanks so much for the cape and candles, devs! 
Big thankies to devs for the cape and candles! I was surprised with the extra candles part ;u; ❤️
Thank you so much, devs! I’m loving the colors
Thank you for the bonus candles devs!!! Wasn’t expecting that and I am very grateful to have gotten them.
it was mentioned as the list of rewards though?
yeah it was, specified amount was not though.
But getting 72 is really freakin good
mhmm
that's what surprised me
i thought it would be like the $5 or $10 pack
but it's $20 man
And the line at the end which is "As of now"
Im here to snatch yo capes. Hand em over
yes "as of now"
hints that there may or may not be more
perhaps for a later batch
Ye
tgc just astonishes me
Is there a way to join the beta
I just logged in to check on the cape (which it turns out IS blue and is lovely!)
Thought my candles had glitched out :p
❤ TGC
With all these candles I can spam everyone in my friends lost with a heart! 😉
Thank you TGC for the wonderful cape ! It’s perfect!

Feeling sassy about my beta cape
What a pleasure to test this game the past year and a half
Is this the cape? 😮
Damn the cape is awesome guys ! Congrats I m kinda disappointed to know this kind of blue will never be available to get for regular players tho haha
A lovely Sky blue, the Beta cape is wonderful! Thank you so much TGC, I will wear this proudly as I offer help and companionship to all the players I meet.
Got the beta cape!!! And by accident created the (reversed) windows logo xD
Congrats to everyone, have fun with your capes! Looking lovely
it seems all that changed when the sky blue capes has attacked our lands and skies.
It truly has been wonderful to test this game for the past two years and to see the amazing growth of it. Thanks TGC
It’s so pretty 
That blue cape will haunt me forever :((
@spark lance the pink blue one is its original colour? Or still is the blue one but charging?
guess? Aha, I thought I got it and see it. Thank u!
I love It so much tanks a lot :)
Hey is there any updates on being able to join beta?
Oh god it’s so pretty
? How do I get it
The moment I saw it
The moment I put it on
I like how the
icon in the credits was accurate hah, those sneaky people 
The cape kind of made me go sentimental 
I remember seeing Sky announced as being in production a few years ago and that there would be a beta. I tried so hard to get in but didn’t, so for the next two years I kept looking around for it now and then.
Then I got into the beta around the time limited release became available, and I remember emailing them for if Norway would be getting the limited release, as that’s where I live(App Store limitations). Man I played so much and slept so little 
It’s been such an experience to see how the game has been shaped over the years. Can’t wait to see how they shape the story onwards 
The only problem is now I have to pick between my beta and white capes.
The pink glow on the blue beta cape is so wonderful though.
It's such a nice touch.
I’ve been saving for the white cape. It’s been challenged to a high degree
My policy is just spend all candles giving people hearts
It's worked well for me.
I get a few every day at least.
Especially on days where the quest is to gift someone :p
Today I spent nearly all of my beta candles on hearts.
I have 20 left.
does anyone know if there's a way for the mac beta testers to get the cape?
It was for iOS beta testers
Is there a Mac beta testing ?! I want to try playing on Mac so bad
Mac beta is on hold
Ok thx I ll try to keep on eye on it then
uses a mac vm to obtain beta
The Mac beta is currently not being updated and is therefore unplayable.
Also, playing on Mac without controller support is terribly clunky.
It should be possible the implement nearly identical controls on the trackpads of the laptops (though less comfortable positioning).
But on desktop... might want to require a controller or Magic Trackpad
You dont want to click prompts like that on a desktop, its much more immediate on a touch screen where you dont need to aim a pointer
Im very interested in a Mac version, although I use my iPad so much thesedays that id just be happy to test out controller support
(Plus i have a Hackintosh, don’t want to give the dev team false bug reports 😇)
Has anyone gotten updates for Sky on Android? I know they put out a link to preorder on playstore but it didn't work. Hope I posted this in the correct area. If not, my apologies.
@high burrow Any updates we find out about Android will likely be posted in #news, so I’d recommend keeping an eye on that.
does this mean i log in game center in sky ? i don’t really understand it, but i have played throw Valley but not get the reward cape ?
@Nagati thank you
Well to get the reward cape you d need to play through valley in beta @uneven venture
So if you played like after the global launch like me or plenty other the reward cape doesn’t concern us
@uneven venture If you want to check your eligibility about the beta gift, you can open an in-game support request.
Btw guys did you see ||redacted|| yet?
Eh?
Wot?
Well the beta cape takes my vote for best color atm almost has a vaporwave aesthetic during recharge consider me jealous
Cotten candy also comes to mind
@cedar grotto Please keep comments out of the #beta-bugs-ios channel so that it's easier for the devs to review the bugs.
You can tag them here to comment or discuss 😃
I noticed there haven’t been any patches to the beta for a while
I wonder what they’re working on that takes so long
Not that I’m impatient or anything but normally patches got released like once every few days or so
There was a period of beta where there wasn’t an update for like 80 days
@midnight basalt i have played for like a month
@lusty light that period was fun cause after that the whole gameplay changed 😂
new season maybe😘
china server grateful season will finish this weekend,something must happen soon
@uneven venture if you have only played the beta for about a month, it sounds like you weren't eligible for the cape
you needed to have been part of the beta and finished Forest before the game was launched globally on the 18th July
@spark lance is there a China beta?
oh, wait, maybe I misread your question.
But did China in that case start the Gratitude season earlier? In global it says 19 days left
china server opened one month earlier than global launch,i forget when china season start...seems same time with global,now 4 days left there
oh, so it was shorter or started earlier?
it should finish a week ago,then delayed to this weekend
how odd, I had no idea China version was so independent
yes,it used a different account system not game center
you can try it on china app store
more daily farming candles and cheaper IAP
how many candles did we get with the beta cape, is it possible that we got aroung 75candles?
@primal prawn I believe I got 72.
@wraith cedar in the live stream they mentioned that there's a new season coming two weeks after the current one ends. Also they said they're developing new content they are excited about but can't talk about yet@
Hopefully bringing back aviary
@wraith cedar They have Android release soon.
it's actually not true that you needed to finish forest before global launch!! i joined the beta on july 17 and i finished forest the day the update was posted (July 29 or maybe even July 30). i received the cape but i didnt deserve it. i will try to be helpful during future beta testing to make up for this. feel a little guilty but i was also very happy
a good reminder for anyone new to the beta, we never spoil anything to live players. What happens in beta stays in beta
That is really relevant considering we’re probably getting new content soon in the beta before live. Anything new in beta must stay in the beta channels
Yeah, but that doesn’t stop non-beta players from reading it and telling others.
Unless TGC makes this channel exclusive to beta players.
I guess it will be up to us, like Eden spoilers, to keep it out of the live channels
“This information is top secret, which is why we have decided to put it in this publicly available channel, so everyone can see it.”
Well, I mean they did publish the beta invite publicly back in July...
@uneven venture Are you sure you weren’t playing the soft launch of the game? The beta required a limited quantity requested invite from thatgamecompany and the TestFlight app. Players also needed to use the same Game Center account and complete the forest level by August the 9th.
Yeah that doesn’t stop people from coming here and seeing the new stuff, like it doesn’t stop people from accessing #eden-spoilers if they wish. People can talk about it outside of discord but we can do our best in here. It’s not because beta content is secret and exclusive, it’s being courteous to players in live channels that might want to experience the new stuff when it’s available to them
So if people want to see new content spoilers and talk about it even if they’re not in the beta, it’s their choice
You needed to finish it before the 9th of August if I remember correctly
But a lot of people are confused about the beta thinking it s the regular actual game while it s not the same thing at all
So they think they did play the beta based on the fact they played the game before that date
Ok. I got a question. I have the Testflight app. And it let me download the Sky app and i just began playing.. is that supposed to be it. Is that the way u get on Beta ?
Will it affect my Sky live progress
?
Sky beta and live are separate apps. It seems you got beta access.
Should he subscribe to the newsletter to get it updated?
The best thing to do is keep checking the #beta-announcements channel
If you already have the beta, updates are done via TestFlight.
Alright, thanks for the enlightenment!
Ok. So i became a post-beta haha. Ok
Not sure if this would be better asked in the questions channel or in here
I’ve heard there’s been talk about bringing sky to android, and I was wondering if you guys were gonna set up a beta group for that specifically, or if the beta works for both iPhone and Android?
I mean I have an iPhone but I kinda liked androids better...
You can check the #news channel for Android updates
The iOS beta does not work for Android
I see, I kinda forgot that channel was there heh
What’s the beta version all about im new
Its just a place to test new features and to catch bugs before it’s released for everyone
Oh so why so many bugs in current game my app crash all the time
Well its not like the volunteer testers can fix bugs or catch all of them 😇
Right
The more people that use something, the more bugs that will be found
Right
The beta users will likely catch a lot of the serious bugs, but not everything, and its up to the devs to be able to find and fix them
Happen to know when’s the next update?
No info on it so far, just keep an eye on #news or #beta-announcements
Cool
@rugged dawn the beta tests updates before they get to live and we report any bugs we encounter, like live players do, but that doesn’t mean all of them will necessarily be fixed before it’s released. TGC is a small indie company and they keep track of the bugs we report and prioritize the most important ones, and they are working to get all the bugs fixed eventually ^^
I’m asking here because I doubt people would know it #questions-and-help , it seems like people recently got beta access today, how? Nothing new in #beta-announcements .. sent a request to the TestFlight sky group in twitter
I think they must have had an invite lying around somewhere and just not used it.
You need a code to redeem your TestFlight version. You can't just download the game and play.
@hushed jackal It would be interesting to hear how you got access?
Testflight @hollow compass
Through the beta website page. The one that always said it was full.
Some other betas got it like that on August. So idk
I meant, how did you get a redeem code for TestFlight?
That's the thing. I dint have any redeem code. Thats why i asked. And I don't remember having beta before.
So idk
what is the beta website page you mentioned?
The one in beta updates. Here on discord
From long ago
I checked on it basically everyday cuz it said it was full.
And today i clicked on it and it wasn't.
So i clicked and it send me to Testflight app
interesting
And let me download
And thats how i got it. So idk. I did ask before. How did i was able to get into beta. Maybe someome left. Maybe i took a spot. Idk how this work.
I don't know either. I would assume it's because people have left in order to play Live.
I guess
I mean their redeem code expired, not that they left. As you can see there is an expiration date to your beta.
Presumably that would be for the people who couldn't get back in when TGC published the link publicly, letting new players flood it.
I don't really know. Do all betas expire ?
I would assume so, partly because beta isn't supposed to be forever.
Yeah they do I have the same beta you do but if you click on the right link you can get included on future seasons updates they said they would be trying them out in beta first then in game
it is empty because there isn't much to test at the moment
Yeah no one is ever on lol
Yeah when cape announce Kent went out everyone flooded for a day or so
Lmao
Don’t see ppl popping back up until it’s something along those lines
Well. Ill play around with it.
As long as we can all help make the game better by testing things in beta 😃
Yeah. I test things extensively
texting with Kent
Test. Lmao. Typo
@hushed jackal can u send me a link to sign up for beta?
Was someone just in beta with lion-ish hair, white winter cape, and firework staff
I was the person in the red cape
Is it possible to still join the beta environment? And using the GC account which I created in the live game version? Thanks in advance.
@elder musk You can read the #beta-announcements channel for news about beta openings.
@spark lance Thanks! 🙏🏻
Does anybody know what’s up with this random yellow pot at the beginning of vault?
Yes I definitely know exactly and precisely what's up with that pot.
It is The Yellow Pot of Mystery and Butterscotch Pudding
Do want!
Also I was playing beta for over a month until @hybrid wedge showed me there were candles there and elsewhere on that level of Vault. 😅
The pot used to be a daily quest to locate!
I like how the candles are next to it
I also think that there's something with it that we don't know;
-
Because if there is we're super clever
-
If there isn't the devs are dumb for not adding something cool
I would never say the TGC devs are dumb just because they haven't added something yet.
There are definitely bigger priorities than that pot.
if it wasn't for that pot I would not have noticed the candles 😃 so a purpose (whether intended or not) has been fulfilled
one of the bigger priorities is balancing the currency system
I can’t claim credit for coining this (very sadly), but my favorite comment about that pot:
“Urn must be respected!”
Random Sky player, you still crack me up 
The eternal sadness of knowing there are two star children you can't get in beta (at the moment) because lol at getting 8 people together or even finding one other player in Prairie.
and I am literally 2 stars away from levelling up my cape
on the plus side, I enjoy going to beta for some peace and quiet
I just had a flashback to old beta, maybe around August last year, where there was one big island in the middle of Prairie. Does anyone remember that?
I like the currency system tbh, it cant be too easy
I have mixed feelings about the currency, having been through a few iterations
mostly, I don't see the point of having cosmetics cost 50 hearts
I think there should be a max of 20-25
Is is still possible to join the beta?
please refer to #beta-announcements
Thank u 😃
Adding clues and puzzles for depth and further world building can be a very big clue for mmo games like Sky, while I don’t think anyone is dumb for not adding things like this, I do feel it should be a priority to work on the world they’re inhabiting, as while players figure out the world, they inevitable find the hidden pages and unless the world has enough depth the endgame quickly gets stale
For a repetitive game world such as sky’s, even though there are daily quests, it does become stale. The player will want to seek out “more” and if you reward the curious, you end up with situations like Oreo. Something that isn’t easily attainable, that gives an actual sense of achievement.
That’s the next challenge imo. They have a game that works and isn’t too broken. It’s a really intriguing world where you can fly and reach higher places. Adding a vertical aspect of exploration should imo be at the top of their list
Because if they don’t, players will just want to speedrun the daily quests and candle anyways and if that’s the only endgame “technically”, then that’s not that much of an endgame
A lot of games fail that aspect actually, things to just “do” like playing music and emoting with your ingame friends. It’s great that those are there in sky, but that also does get a bit stale
I’m really excited to see what comes onward from now
@Belpita you’ll probably have plenty of help with in about two weeks or so when the current season finishes in live and the new one is released in beta to be tested 😄
@hollow compass beta beta beta ... COTD (chocolate of the day) is dark chocolate covered cashews 
That will suffice. You may pass.
So excited to test run the new season 👀❤️🦄
new season: winter in autumn
new season: relive all spirits' memories in one day
Even better. New season bringing new spirits and new challenges/adventure 😱
that they definitely will!
@storm flicker that looks to be regarding the live version and not the beta I think, you should post in #report-a-live-bug about this issue
I don’t know if this is the right channel to ask and I’m so very sorry if it is not, but I’ve heard recently some people have gotten into the beta using an invitation, and I’m wondering if I ever got in would I lose my live progress? Again, very sorry if this is in the wrong channel.
This is the right channel for beta questions, don’t worry ^^
Beta and live are completely separate apps, so you don’t have to worry about losing your progress in either of them
Okay, thank you very much 😃
Hi! I just joined this Discord, and I’m still slightly confused about beta, but my main question is: would the future invitation to new beta-testers be public or is there a process that needs to be done to be invited? I play Sky very frequently, and I’d love to have an opportunity to participate in beta-testing. I’m sorry if this question has been asked before!
the last two beta joining sessions were limited, so I assume that will be the case going forward. They post a public link iirc? If they did, they'd post it in #beta-announcements or maybe #news
I joined the discord right after the sessions were filled ;; so I don't remember it too much.. I just know they sent you a link for it when they were doing it by email
Aw, wish I knew this server existed earlier. Thank you so much for your answer!
keep an eye on those channels, they will open it up again, just unsure when
A couple things to know about the beta is that (1) it’s for testing and feedback purposes, so you’re expected to do both regularly, and (2) everyone’s progress can be reset anytime by TGC as needed.
@dire rover thanks starflame lmao
@radiant badger I know Dune already mentioned that you should add your device info, but it's also very useful for TGC if you explain what it is you experience as a bug and not just post a photo/video.
Maybe I’m slightly out of touch, but I don’t know many games that care about and listen to their players’ feedback, which is why I find Sky team so great. The game is already great, but I have a feeling that it’s only gonna get better because of the beta-testers.
It gets better based on everyone's feedback, including the huge global live community.
obviously, TGC has their own plan for future expansions etc, but they have really taken into consideration many things that beta testers suggested changing
or at the very least, they have occasionally gone back to a previous versions of some mechanics because the new one just wasn't working
except for the flying, don't mention the flying
Hey, I love the flying ... no complaints. What I miss most is messing with the Krill
that too
Had a bad day? bwa haha I could buzz around some Krills' heads and feel instantly better
to be honest, I have gotten used to the flying now and it feels ok
I don't really even remember the previous version
It's been what feels like a long time since that big change
And with lots of cape stars, flying is pretty great. As TGC said, they wanted to reward those with higher cape power.
The only thing that bothers me right now is how you immediately stop falling down when you try to move forward in hover mode.
It's like the physics you expect are thrown out the window in that very instance and you get this massive disconnect from falling down, because you assume you will slow slightly while now moving forward, but instead you stop falling and hover forward at a slow, static speed.
It's kind of jarring. If you try it in the Valley of Triumph Citadel the wind makes it almost impossible to land unless you stop moving, while in hover mode.
That’s because you used to drop like a rock when you went into helicopter mode and it was really bad
I like the current flying power/mechanics, but I have never stopped missing the old flight controls. The flight button on the screen is so finicky and hard to consistently tap on without looking.
You would press the button and you lost a lot of height before you were able to move forward if you wanted to land
@hybrid wedge Yeah, I would trade our barrel rolls and flips for flick-to-fly any day. Very strange decision.
And flick to hover I miss you so much 
Yeah, that's what I mean - it's been so long since flick up/down to fly/hover that I barely remember how it felt, but I know it was much more natural than the button
now it's press to rise and then flick forward, wait a second until the flying button decides to maybe show up and then click that
but I've learnt to live with it and I'm fairly precise in most places now
Huh, interesting. I wasn't in beta before the current iteration, but I definitely have that same "okay, now to be precise" workflow too @hollow compass.
It sounds like the older way was tricky with landing, but better for taking off?
yes, that's good way of putting it
I only recently realized I've mastered the "fly across the map on one cape charge" mechanic, which is something though.
I was getting the winged light on the Wasteland building in the last area and remembered when I first played thinking, "Oh gosh, how will I ever get that?"
I didn’t have a problem landing with the old controls. It helped that you were never forced into open- or closed-wing, so if I wanted to land on my feet I could flick down to easily go into hover/closed-wing mode and then use the d-pad to aim more precisely. There was less momentum or variation in momentum depending on location, too, so it was easier to calculate instead of mysteriously falling for no apparent reason like near the star kid platform at the Forest entrance, or drifting really far like in a lot of other places.
There’s a downdraft by that star kid
Doesn't make it any less frustrating imo
The slight visual indicators near all the wonky physics spots don't help at all imo. I've played for hours and hours and still find all of them really annoying
I think the flying mechanics are wonderful now, I really like the precision we have. But I also realize I have tiny hands playing on a iPhone screen with two-handed mode, I can’t imagine the hassle of clicking that tiny button on an iPad screen using one-handed mode 
... and I wouldn’t mind having the current flight mechanics with the boosts and stars + old controls
Yes I'd say the mechanics/controls are like 90% there... I think some more customization options would go a longgg way
The weird physics "drafts" are more a level design thing... Hopefully there will be less of that as time goes on
Current mechanics + old controls would be heavenly.
I get having drafts in different areas. Birds deal with them so why not Sky kids? The ones in the Butterfly Fields and Nest and Villages in Prairie make sense to me, and the ones in Citadel, for example. But the one in the entrance of Forest hasn’t felt as natural to me. It just feels like an area where the flight controls go wompy.
Yeah that's true, there are a few places that work really well. I'd say it's mostly getting yanked down to the ground when you feel like you have your landing all lined up is what feels terrible
I think its like that in the prairie cave too, to leap across to get the star up above
I haven’t noticed it in the Prairie cave
Maybe it’s subtle enough that it doesn’t stand out to me.
It's not that bad when you have a zillion wedges like we do, but if you are new its very irritating
I think it boils down to expecting the physics to behave a certain way, and then they just... don't. So there's a disconnect between your experience in other areas, and what actually happens.
Kinda like how it can be really annoying to automatically switch to fly mode in certain areas/above clouds, with no option to hover
It makes it hard to establish a flow
I think trying to land on the pillar at the end of the races to light the candle cake is the hardest thing in the game because of that
My least favorite spot is the star kid on the ||whale skeleton|| in Vault.
I’ve learned to just fly over it and be quick to tap the icon when it appears because the automatic mode switching combined with extra momentum and the slipperiness is impossible for me 
Oh, the Vault kid! Not as hard as the Cave kid way up high or the one in the shipwreck area. But the latter is mostly difficult because there is little to no contrast, so it’s hard to aim correctly.
I find I have mostly learnt each area’s “rhythm” when it comes to how far I get on one flap.
holy cow, you go play the game for a little while and a whole convo explodes
I heard there was this game called Sky and thought I’d check it out
@hybrid wedge I do wish you were never forced into modes! For sure!
Nah. It’s really boring. Just go away.
That and bigger buttons for iPad flying would be the 10% IMO.
Or just....not require buttons >_>
Buttons = bad
Ha, well, I don't know about all that! 😆
Or at least not require such high precision.
@hollow compass Maybe you have figured this out too, but everything clicked into place in soaring mode when I realized you only start to lose air when your cape stops leaving a trail.
Night belpita
Is it possible to still get beta?
technically no but actually yes
@viscid dragon I would love to see footage of how this old system worked
