would be cool to have fireworks go off on reset/newyears hehe
oh no
that means
looks at all the players with the firework staffs
TAKE COVER !!
Ok ok but seriously though
fireworks would be great for that moment
yessss!!
Good thing i’m working on the Wasteland constellation so that once i’m done with the cape, I could work on getting the firework staff!
then when times comes, i’ll whip out my staff and go saiyan mode

@abstract snow If your question in the general channel is when will beta content be released in live, we don't even know that it will be released. Better to ask those questions here than in the general channel.
we like to say what happens in beta, stays in beta .... 
Beta content doesn't always make it to live, so we don't want to set expectations.
So I know from nastymold that you guys have different times for things other than live
Per say the bat cape
Beta gets updates before live so they can be tested
So yes, the beta is more “advanced” usually
And not everything in beta makes it to live
Mhmm
~ testing fun ~
-feedback fun-
Yea so it’s like a final check for items and seasons
Not necessarily a final check
But kinda
More like a quick run for major bugs
New content is introduced there, and we test it and give feedback
yea
There's no guarantee what's in beta will be released to live
Are you in the beta, dozen?
Beta tests some bugs and we give feedback on builds and new features before they go live
If they go live ...
If you;re going to ask whether we think specific beta items will be released to live, we don't know. We can hope, but we don't know.
Winter Solstice in the Office
Anyone notice that the tiny Krill that was in the plant pot is gone? I just find it cute thinking it got upset and called it’s friends to beat us up
That's a funny thought xD
There's people setting up fireworks like crazy in the office...
Couldn’t get to ||space|| through the ||office||. Maybe is glitched. Or maybe is just me.
@rancid pier Are you asking if the beta version will allow beta players to keep friends and friend levels the same the next time it’s reset? I’m pretty sure that within the beta, friend lists will stay the same. We don’t know for sure if friend levels will stay the same though. The first time they reset the beta they put friend levels back to 0 in order to test the economy; the second (most recent) reset they didn’t mess with friend levels
It’s possible it’s tweaked because they added sources of light other places in the game—like the office 👀
Eye of Eden @orchid sun
@hushed jackal is it dark in the office today in the beta?
You can only get to space if the lights are off.
Yeah. Is space day. But for some reason is glitching on my end @woeful lodge
seems to be the case for beta and live
Hi all! Is anyone having an issue with no shop or way to purchase candles in Android?
(open beta)
You can't purchase candles in beta.
You're only able to farm candles. The IAP store is only in the live version (iOS for now).
oh okay...I was able to get season candles and an adventure pass though
Only special packs are available in the beta version, but no candle packs IAPs
Beta is for testing and buying candles for free would defeat the whole purpose
okay cool good to know thank you guys 😊
I wasn't sure because Its open beta not the "approved"
I was told they are two different things
Like?
You cannot buy any candle packs at all in beta
The only packs you can get are the starter pack, the founders pack, and the adventure pass
Oh no
I didn’t say that
Hey.....I was wondering how to get to the space craft in the sky office
Explore in some of the rooms
can anyone with a beta cape bring me & a friend into the office?
@valid gyro there’s no need to ask things in multiple channels, also when ppl ask things here it’s about the beta version of the game so asking for things for the live version of the game wouldn’t help you here
sorry seraph
Have the devs/anyone official talked about where they intend to go with the game? Have they talked about new levels being developed a/o more changes to existing levels?
@woeful lodge Yes, they have in the livestreams, and that's one reason to watch. You can go back and watch past livestreams on the same Twitch site noted in the #news.
@spark lance so what was said? Are they working on new levels or do they intend to evolve the current levels? Where is the game headed?
Its been said ( in livestreams or on their social media, maybe both I cant recall) that they do intend on bringing new areas to the game!
Its perhaps even hinted at ingame by the fact that even if you have the max 108 stars theres still a message saying the next wing cape wedge level is at 120 stars!
We can only wait for that full 5 outlined stars
Im not sure if new areas means new levels or just expanding on the current levels in the game-Id have to go back and watch their streams-but stuff is coming 👀
Yes!!!!
Thanks @torn gust.
This is a beautiful game but candle grinding is tedious and ubering noobs (while fun to watch their excitement) only provides so much satisfaction. With each update it seems like they lock/block more and more of the oob, so exploring oob isn’t sustainable gameplay. With all that in mind it’s not unreasonable to wonder what the gamerunners plan to do to keep people’s interest.
@tall sigil I can’t wait to have 5 full outlined BATS! 😂🦇
Game play has completely changed for me since I started upgrading friendships and chatting. I used to happily solo through every day on the candle run, but being pulled through in a group, with chatter and someone playing music and silly shenanigans occurring, well, I don’t want to solo any more. I jump into a level, do a little bit, get bored and return home. Friends are carrying the game for me now.
hearing that is really unfortunate. perhaps you just need to find more things to keep you in that are already there. i don't know if you guys have played since before the global launch so maybe you have more experience so to speak, but the game never gets old for me. i almost always run through levels solo for dailies which is fine for me. then i might help another friend through levels or play music or even just chatting and spamming emotes with people is so heartwarming and fulfulling for me. then you have the daily quests and working toward finishing constellations. i honestly think i could never get tired of sky.
It’s just so much more fun with friends at the moment. I don’t relish disappearing on my own anymore. It takes a lot longer with a bunch of people though 😂
I think certain moods dictate gameplay style though.
Id agree @pallid badger , friends really augment the game experience, there isn’t enough to do or make play with as just a single person
If interaction with friends is so important, then why is it so expensive? The cost to interact would suggest that that isn’t the point.
Anyway, my point was that I love the game and I wanted to find out where it is headed without having to watch 2 hours worth of live-streams.
I would say the friend gifts may seem expensive because they are worth a lot! And our friends are worth all the effort it takes to give them.
The upper level ones are indeed expensive, but the core interactions aren’t really so prohibitive—like high five, perhaps hug. And there are a lot of ways to interact just through using emotes together, or playing songs to/with each other
(Thinking about how much more expensive warp is now than it used to be—as a player that kinda sucks, but considering how powerful it is, I can’t help but agree that its place is way at the top of the friend tree ^^)
How do you get the new Halloween cloak?
It’s in the iap store
@woeful lodge , friendship costs have been through a few iterations. I think the way they are now probably works best for how large the community has become. Back in early beta, the community was smaller and more close-knit. So, there was a lot of trust. Nowadays it's probably better to not take friendships too seriously. An element of commercialism has perhaps entered the game, making friendships more about the monetary value (=hearts). Even if you upgrade and invest in someone you thought was a friend, you can still end up getting blocked for no apparent reason. In essence, we're all strangers to one another and it's probably unwise to put that much emotional labour into what is literally fancy pixels on a screen. Value the playtime you have with someone in that moment, but don't expect it to last forever. Lol, I sound a little bitter, but really, I'm not. I just try to be a realist. After all, we can do some pretty amazing things all for free, even if it takes a bit of farming.

um...? thatskybot, I think you're a little drunk... 
Does anyone know if the beta for android expand yet? And is there a new link?
Keep an eye on #beta-announcements !
Any announcements about new waves for the android beta will be posted there 😄
Thank you!
How do you get the bat cape?
check the store
I did even talked to the girl in the office, nothing appeared in the store.
It's in the regular store, not the office store
It’s not there either
Look around for some extra spirits in the office
@proper wagon you know it’s beta only atm where you can get the bat cape ? And you need to be on latest update
Yes I know I’m on the most current beta. It might be a bug so I sent in a bug report
It should be in the middle of the office , there are 2 spirits there that interact like the one with the blue cape.
And you do see the Halloween themed office when you’re there ??
No I don’t see two spirits and it’s not Halloween themed
iOS
that probably means that halloween is over and you cant get the cape anymore
i think bat cape is supposed to be a time-limited option cause its about halloween you know, makes sense
And makes sense we're only testing it in beta ...
Ok well thanks for the info
It was there long enough to do the tests needed.
Oh , yep , just checked , Halloween is over
Ok thanks guys. It’s to bad but it’s my own fault I was late
This means the krill above the office are gone too, I suppose? 
Sad times. I headed in just now hoping it wasn’t true. Alas....
TTATT no sight of the krill in pot
we should check under the office next time were both on beta skymii!
!!!!! maybe maybe !!
Under? Hmm ...

Any hint to as when Halloween office might make it to live?
Probably right around Halloween. Can’t think, how many days did it last for in beta? 3-4?
I imagine it will be a 3-4 days event in live too.
maybe 4-5days.
I notice halloween office on October 17th at night, and it seems ended on 22th.
So around Monday next week " IF ! " it gets implemented on live. We don't know if it will make it or not.
remember that beta is for testing and you may lose everything - also for testing purposes
so don't get too attached 
Wait is iOS on beta?
Who's Bert???
Npc guy in the office
yay !!
Is that sky bot having troubles atm?
Going a little slow (first couple timed out after the minute), but is getting there now
@dire escarp I was having trouble too, but it appeared to be a Discord issue, according to their status
Cool, just checking incase it was me
Would it be possible to increase the 1 minute timeout on the bot a little?
For which fields, @dire escarp? Some are one minute (like Apple vs. Android), others are ten
When is the ios beta gonna be free ugh?
I guess all 1 minutes being 2 possibly while discord is having troubles
Oh I see what you mean. I don’t think it will be possible to change the bot like that so quickly for something that’s a temporary issue, but I can try to flag it anyway
As a couple timed out, android or ios on the first and additional information on the second
@spark lance the beta is already free ^^. If you mean when more spots will be opened, it really depends on what TGC needs and how the process for the Android beta goes
Yeah, I'm just raising it as a suggestion, hopefully discord will get their stuff sorted soon
I hear you @dire escarp

Lol,
Oops wrong chat 😂
I didn’t realise I was in beta discussion
Which philosophy you guys think we should have as beta testers?
Intentionally trying to find bugs? Or playing normally and stumbling upon bugs as they pop-up?
Seriously though, both approaches are useful and appreciated equally. The important factor for us is that people continue to play on Beta so that we have data to examine. I know the allure of Beta is being first to see what's new, and once the new shinies wear off it's not as enticing to keep playing. One of the goals of having beta testing in the first place is increasing exposure to potential bugs that may not come up during internal testing so that we can identify and fix them before they are released to the greater audience.
Its wrecking time!
if you go intentionally looking for bugs though.... it almost becomes less fun
because they get harder and harder to find
or they don't fix the bug in the way you might be thinking to fix the bug
Not sure if its supposed to looking for the bugs just for the sake of fun (though it can be), you look for bugs in beta to help improve the game
Some people are avid and determined bug seekers although even more casual playstyles are appreciated like what Ktjn said above!
Im more saying that searching for bugs can be a fun experience...
This is why it's so important to read the patch notes (at least if there are extensive ones, lol!); you already have a set of things to bug test there. Unfortunately, some things may be almost impossible to test because there are fewer players in beta. This was the case with the server merges/disconnections when entering new areas (or sometimes even within the same area), because we just couldn't stress test the beta servers that way.

beta update
love the friendship button!!! thank you!
Useless button!
We should be able to access to the constellation in any are at home not in the centre only where there are always people messing with the tsble
I do agree that people can be annoying/distracting when you're trying to use the constellation menu. im not sure what a good solution would be as people could harass you anywhere at Home... I almost wish you just didnt see them or get affected by them at all, but its also good to know when your friend is standing there trying to get your attention 😂
Just need a separated me\end to at least access to our friends list
*menu
There’s not point of this button when u can just tap OJ the regular one and do a long swipe and reach the friendship constellation
I have a hard time with the regular menu.. it never ends up where i want it to if i swipe, but the arrows are so impossibly tiny i constantly miss them and click off the menu and it closes.. (and im on an ipad) so I like it.
sometimes im in a rush to join a friend and its so frustrating trying to get through the clunky menu
U gotta swipe not ripe on those buttons
*tap
Even when I’m playing with controller I just swipe
Lot faster
not sure i like the hug symbol as a friendship menu button; it's a bit confusing, as you can sometimes have an actual friend standing on the platform wanting to hug you
I don't understand what - Invert camera and invert flight control settings means
It inverts the y axis
I don't notice any difference
I'm confused now
help?
oh, hang on
lol, the invert flight option is properly confusing: you drag up and fly down 
true, I recognise this "move control in the opposite direction" system
interesting addition
I wasn't aware it was something people had been asking for, though
I would have liked the camera to be more controllable in that it would stay were I angle it, and of course also get rid of all the forced camera angles that can wreak havoc in the proximity of krills
I want the x axis to be inverted when I invert camera controls :(
My dad will probably use inverted controls whenever he's able to play. My parents always seem to use inverted controls when they play games, and that's probably why.
Ehh not liking this friend shortcut button. It makes the UI look cluttered. It would be better if the shortcut was there after you open the constellation
It also doesn’t even take you to the start of the friend pages. It drops you in the middle, so to see everyone you’d have to cycle back through the pages you’ve already been to

@fringe oxide I agree, I don’t like it either. It doesn’t look good. What people were asking for is to be able to do a search for friends or organize them, not this
Though I wish we'll have more improvements on friend constellation in the future, I like this new function. It's useful when I get separated from my friend want to teleport back immediately.
it's helpful for that, but it also assumes said friend is a favorite friend and is in the crown constellation
Yeah if you have more favorited friends than fit in the crown, they get pushed elsewhere anyway, and you have to look through all the pages
I think it looks much better to just have one button floating there. If there is a shortcut it should be accessible, maybe on the top bar, once you open the constellation
My only feedback would be that perhaps instead of a hug the button should look like the favorited friend crown, but otherwise I really like this new button
Yeah I can see the hug icon being confusing and having people mistake it as friends offering a hug if theres people nearby
I like this new button too because I would rather the default constellation view be the favorites. It's funny because it only takes maybe 3 seconds to scroll over to favorites, but still it's one of those little annoyances.
Yeah I don’t mind the idea of there being a shortcut. I just don’t like the UI. To me it looks as bad as those Shepard badges. Maybe if it were smaller, the icon changed to one that wouldn’t be confused for hug, or located once you open the constellation
I hope the badges go away .... soon too.
I think my only real problem with the friend stars, is being rotated away from the page of stars (constellation?) you’re on when you’re done interacting with a friend. (sending them a heart, lighting their candle, etc.) This is mainly due to the which way your sky kid is facing after interacting with the friend. So having to scroll through the constellations after lighting a friend’s candle every time can becomes really annoying. Fix that problem, and I’m fine..
I was fine with the button until I discovered that I can't look towards the friend constellation and press the normal button anymore, it rotates me away from the friend constellations. So now I really don't like it, I always go from one side to the other, so to have the friend button take you to the middle page is annoying. I want to be able to look at whichever friend constellation page I want right when I click, I don't like that it forces you to either look at the middle one or look at the regular constellations to the sides
I like the function of the button, it’s nice to get straight to the friends constellation, but yeah, I’m not keen on the button itself. I tend to panic smash when I’m in a hurry and I just know I’ll hit the wrong one sometimes which will annoy me and delay me. 😅
I blocked a friend, but the blocked friend is not appeared in the blocked friend list. I am suspecting the blocked friend list is not working or I am misunderstanding how the blocked friend list works.
It is not clear to me how to unblock a friend if I blocked a friend accidentally.
With the friend constellations open in Home, tap the upper right unblock icon. Scroll to the name to unblock.
For testing, I have almost blocked all of my friends, but I still cannot see any friends appeared in the menu of the unblock icon.
Tapped the upper right unblock icon, and see nothing in the list. There are no friends to be scrolled.
It will first appear blank. Tap the right direction arrow to see the beginning of the list.
Does anyone know when I’ll be able to get the bat cape in live? Or is it still unknown
Beta cape was only for beta players who helped before global launch
If you joined beta in this recent wave, you won’t be getting it
We don't know when the bat cape will be available in live as well as any other features and items that are currently in beta.
It was a surprise thank you for the beta players who helped test for the year or so before Sky was released!
Oh BAT cape
Looks at my hands
Pfft
Thank you dune and sorry kiwi 😂😂
Lmao you’re good
I’m eager for the bat cape to hit live though....I keep checking the shop 👀
I want to know when we're gonna have a coffee cape that lets you fly around at double speed.
@torn gust think it’ll be bought from office or regular shop?
Im not sure! Reika’s npc in the office made it sound like you had to talk to her first but it got moved to normal shop in beta
so its anyones game!
HmmmMm
We might need an actual update for live in the app store though before spooky office and bat cape comes to live
So if that happens then def check the shops asap 👀
Don’t forget those two kids popped up- I think they became the npc for the bat cape.
Cool info! Thanks!!
Missed this the first time around
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07prpmd
Great interview from Jenova Chen about Sky
When does the new season starts?
Not sure! no word yet, but keep checking #beta-announcements !
@torn gust Thank you 
@feral torrent please only talk about unspoilered beta content here, not in the general chat
if you must talk about beta content in general always spoiler.
anyways we dont know when, or if, it will hit live! not everything in beta comes to live
also its not a work day for TGC so if it does come to live it may not even show up till monday
Just asking. Chill a bit
Ok, I’m feeling real silly right now. I have the bat cape but how am I gonna get to the spooky office? Do I have to have a friend with the beta/founders cape take me?
Yes, unless you already have one of those capes yourself
@cyan pagoda I have same bug. My blocked friends don't appear in list.
I have reviewed the list many times and reported this bug.
@atomic trail I am glad to see anyone has encountered the same issue. It means I might not misunderstand how the unblock function works. I have also reported this bug after roughly searching for unblock, but I couldn’t find similar bug reports. Thanks for your sharing!
Spill the tea bout the Halloween items? Are there any? eeeer be my friend
All the tea was in the suggestions and ideas and general chat channels
Will there be openings for new testers? I really wanna try this game out 😔
Is there gonna be another invite android and ios?
I was in beta but i deleted the beta version now i wanna install it again how can i
that depends on when and which one
if it's iOS, then the beta is currently full and you will have to wait until next sign-up
for Android, I think they are still taking applications, but you may want to check out #beta-announcements for that

I’ve done the same before, @weak tusk. Commiserations.
may I ask why you deleted it?
I understand
I suppose beta takes a bit of dedication and sometimes you just don't have that energy
I'm sorry
Yeah thanks
when did you delete the app? I'm not sure if they actually purged inactive players, but I do know we all lost access to our accounts during the last sign-up.
Hey guys I have a question that I'm not sure if this is a beta players only feature
There are several times where I heard a player did a realistic bird/manta call, like the ones in the over world
It's not the usually 'beep' calls regular players make. Apparently I'm not the only one that heard this before, so are these different calls a beta player only thing like the winter emotes?
Could we spend some time praising the excellent work of the fx and sound designers? There are few game with such tactile qualities to the fx.
My personal favourite are the sound of footsteps on snow and ice I wouldn’t mind feeling a little rumble when sliding over it). The different animal calls are great too.
I agree, remember how you would walk into the ridge race area? This little platform had a sound that I liked but now it sends you to the starting area 3/4 of your way there
Where do I buy the blue beta cape, if I can buy it?
The blue founders cape can be bought from the office shop. The beta cape is not available for purchase. It was a one time gift for the earlier beta testers/soft launch players.
Mhmm
Where in the vault? Is it that secret area sort of in the back from where you spawn?
Mhmm! that one!
Though you’ll need someone to take you there
you’re in Beta or Live ?
Do you have to be a current beta tester to get the founder’s cape?
I’m not in beta, but I think I’m in live. If live is referring to the livestreams, then I haven’t been able to join because of inconvenient schedules on my part
Live meaning the Official Version of the game
Ah then best to ask people out at #looking-for-group-live
to take you there
since I do not have the founder cape nor the original beta cape
Ah, ok. Thanks for the help

How much is the founder’s cape anyway
@rotund mist If you mean by the Live version , no
ah ok
dang
with the additions of lots of Candles , forgot how many candles tho since it’s been a while
Did the new update today just bring the Bat Cape to live?
Yes
How do you get the beta cape?
Or founders cape I guess
Or do I just need to find someone?
You need to go to the secret area
You need someone with the beta or founders cape to take you in
K
Then you can buy the founders cape
What’s the new hair?

Does anybody know if they confirmed them bringing back the winter 2018 season because some people said they are
Yes that’s confirmed by tgc
@hybrid wedge I’m actually feeling hopeful that the pumpkin hair will be a gift on halloween day for all players that login. In part because of where they added the hair slot. It’s one slot ahead of the default newbie hair, which is free. Honestly as long as the hair makes its way into the game somehow, I’ll be happy. It’s so cute! It could be the start of a small tradition where for Halloween, Christmas and other major international holidays each hear the sky community get a themed accessory from the devs as a way to celebrate
Ok thank you because I was literally begging for the white manta cape to come back
But usually the good cape spirits are in wasteland
White manta cape?
The white cape that looks like a bell. i think it looks like the manta coloring
I heard someone mention a castle that came with the event. They thought it was in space? Any truth to that?
I haven’t heard anything about a castle
Maybe a White Castle 🍔
🤔
I can only think of the space and space station that you can get to from office in some days(?). I don't know if that thing is old or not.
@storm lantern it isn’t a bug , it has been added to acces friend constellation, as stated in the patch notes
@storm lantern just to add to the above: It’s really important to read the patch notes, because as beta testers we’re here to test new features and find bugs. If there is something you don’t understand, please ask here and someone else will be able to explain.
Noted @vapid drum @hollow compass I’ll do that next time. 🙂
Good morning! I'm trying to report a big and everytime It tells me to choose beta or live it wont let me choose
I'm on Early Acces App in Google Play and when I'm playing and go to take a screenshot, it takes me to the app
permissions on my device
"bug"
@celest yarrow I think you can manually react with one of the emoji when that happens
what do you mean ? I'm still learning! I've been chasing the umbrella lady for 2 days!
if you respond with an emoji it will stop?
Nagati was referring to your issue with the bug reporting bot. If you share more details with us we can help you get it working for your reports!
As for your issue in the game, are you sure permissions for saving screenshots are allowed for sky in your device?
I had that camera bug a couple updates ago, it's fixed now on my device but maybe it wasn't fixed on all devices
We don’t know
😦
I think it's fixed now...thank you Mirian!
I went and had to turn on Storage and Camara Permissions...
can someone show/explain the subtle difference in founder and beta capes?

Hi i have a friend who has an android who wants to beta tes, how will i know when a spot opens up for her?
read the beta faq in the message just above you!
Ohhh ok my bad
Thnks! : )\
Oh and also so sorry to bother u again i probably just didt see it or something but how do i become an ios beta tester if i dont have discord on my phone? Also will it still work if i already play the game?
Beta and live are separate so you can play both on the same device
Also to play beta on iOS you need TestFlight, they will post an invite link for TestFlight on discord that you need to open on your phone
Np!
Yes
Do you know why we don’t have krills at office in beta too?
And
I can’t find bat cape too
They're no longer in the beta
We tested them for a few days and then they were moved to live
..was there a pumpkin hat available along with the bat cape? i knew of bat cape but did the pumpkin exist
The pumpkin hat did not appear in beta.
Sorry, wait I am wrong. Geez, I got the pumpkin hat in beta today myself. Temporary spooky insanity there.
Thank you @arctic pecan ....
It’s ok Dune !!

There really isn't a beta suggestions channel. You can use the in-game support function to also provide feedback though.
The reason there isn't a beta suggestions is that it's assumed a lot of beta content makes its way to live, so the live suggestions channel is the single source TGC wants to review.
Oh okay, thanks.
Hello and I was just wondering on how do I play the sky beta

They said more beta waves will be coming soon.
Soon for Android beta they said, and it hasn't came yet.
@halcyon meadow You can do both at the same time. I won't say you "should" do either or both, cause it's really up to you and your mother. If you can use her iPad whenever you want, then you don't have to wait and you can start playing live version of Sky now, and probably you'll be able to sync your progress with your Android device when Android Sky go live.
Wait how do you get the pumpkin hat?I’ve seen people wearing it and it looks pretty cool.
@undone mortar you can get it in live by going to the office and accessing the shop while you’re there!
Yw 😊
But how i get into the office.?
yea just start from the vault entrance and make your way up the first stairs
and turn left and there's an invisible wall go there and there should be a area that has flowers
Well its there tutorial video in case.?
Alright thanks
Hey guys, the beta have new areas correct?
No
incorrect
A Waterworld, a Tropical Forest full of Mayan temples and The Land of Candy. This last one might be my favourite.

Aye aye, Captain! Understood
Lets hope they release the game before 2020 
Any news on desktop apps of Sky?
Nope
They’re working on android and other platforms will follow after android releases
Any news on Sky for ps5?
I think they will focus on ps4. Remember ps5 can play ps4 games
Couldn’t actually imagine playing sky on anything other than a phone or tablet. Will be very interesting to see! 🙂
Hi folks, is it still possible to join the beta on android? Waiting for the release of this lovly looking game feels like an eternaty. Usualy I join a community after playing a game a little while, cause of spoiler, but in this case I cant hold out any longer and here I am 😅
So again, is it still possible to join the beta and if so, how would I do that?

Soon my friend...
Donni, it is a wait worth holding out for. I’ve never played a game like this before. Not on my phone in any case! Patience, and don’t hope to rush it, the longer they spend carefully addressing bugs, the better your game experience will be when it is released.
Hey does the beta version contain new areas?
You asked this question before! The answer is still no, there no new areas in beta that arent in live
Wait I did
CatyYesterday at 10:46 AM
Hey guys, the beta have new areas correct?
Ok I lost my mind sorry it’s late at night xd
Lol
I feel that 😛 But whenever new areas are added, they would be tested in beta first
currently theres no new areas though!
I hope there will be :3
Welp sorry! Bye! and thanks ofc
i should probably sleep after that now
Ight imma head out 😒

Does anybody know when they'll fix the transfer for switching phones over?
nobody here knows the timeframe for any specific fixes, and probably never will until after fixes are released.
but I'm not sure what you're asking about. switching what phones in what way? because I can switch between ios and android apps to play the beta right now.
I was talking in general for the phones. I had an iphone now I have a Samsung so I was wondering when the android version finally comes out will the switch between devices do the same.
That’s what Alex talking about?
@torn gust might be worth pinning something about new areas since it seems to be a sensitive subject. Just a suggestion.
Side note, looks like not all of the pins are still relevant.
Shepherds aren’t mods and don’t have the power to pin things
I’ve unpinned the messages regarding finding build numbers and the season length
I just have a autumn themed name 😄
but seraph has lol
seraphs got The Power
👍🏻
We don’t need a pin on new areas bc there aren’t new areas lol
As I’m scrolling I just see that question frequently
This channel is for beta testers to talk about beta, not for ppl to assume things about beta
Beta testers can just answer their questions
And pines seemed pretty upset about answering the question.
I didn’t see any assumptions about new areas
Just the same question
Pines wasn’t upset! She was just reminding them about how they asked that question already
When someone uses exclamation points in text with no context it conveys emphasis and strong emotion.
Im sorry if it came off that way! text can be hard to convey D:
oh im just addicted to exclaimation points
Just like that 😂
LOL
literally you dont know how often i have to go back and delete exclamation points from my messages 😂
Hahaha
I feel like ! Is trying to Not come off as angry while using . Is very mad. Very firm.
Anyway, beta stuff. Cool. 😂🤣 can’t wait for open seats.
For me it’s the opposite @lusty light 
THIS! LOOKS! ANGRY!
😂🤣
Well if you’re yelling of course it looks angry!
Well that’s using all caps
Yes @empty inlet , yes it does!
Which we can all agree is terrible and a sign of pure malice 
I promise yall if im using ! it means im trying to come off as cheery LOL
! Is the sign of Extreme Excitement
Or of Extreme Anger ¯_(ツ)_/¯
O!!M!!G!! IM SO ANGRY!!!!!
please dont take my exclamation points away from me im emotionally attached at this point
This is like a half empty half full thing lol
😂
¡¡¡
But I’ve yet to see Pines post something angry. Safe to say their use of !!! is benign ^^
If we make pines mad we need to go and think about what we’ve done
🧐
If you are pink cape and chatted at a table with me and @fresh quiver , we’re here if you want to friend on discord. 🙂
The difference between using an '!' or a '.' is quite evident when saying: "Congratulations." vs "Congratulations!"
Isn't it?
😉
lol, maybe Pines will block you all! 😮
anyway, I'm rather excited for whatever new update we will get soon in beta...perhaps in a week or two?
Good Morning sky kids🌞
HappyHappy Sunday
&
to all! Hope everyone has a great day/evening(depending where you are😉)
Is it lonely in beta without the Android gang?
Hey there @quaint onyx
Hi I have no idea how the beta groups work
we discuss whatever happens in the beta, basically
How do I get in ?

does the krill in the office hurt you

yes
I have a question ;-;
When season ends in live and the other season starts on beta, does it delete the game and they send a new link here or does it stay?
Testing a new season in beta doesn’t automatically mean resetting access or progress, if that’s what you mean
TGC may decide to reset access or not, we don’t know yet
Sure!

I honestly don't understand why they had to add a live krill to the office.
I would prefer that place to be a little weird and random, but not terrifying.
TAT can't play music peacefully on the roof anymore
please put the krill back to the pot
everyone miss pot krill
wait, it's there forever?
Hope not
Does anybody know how to get the headphones in beta(Android)? I tried playing music while I play but it didn't work
@unreal stone the hug symbol is introduced as a shortcut to friends constellation. It’s stated in the patch notes of the latest beta update
How do you become a shorty mcshort? Is it the clothes?
I've seen players taller and way shorter than me
So I wanna be that
One way to become small is to get a "chibi/small mask" from Hidden Forest's Hide and seek spirit
You can get resize potions when you buy spells too
I think the 5 candle spells give chance to a resize potion
@vapid drum but it’s underneath the current constellation symbol, the current shortcut. The patch notes says “added friendship button to quickly access to friendship menu in home.” I don’t think the hug symbol is the friendship button, since why would they put two buttons to access the friend stars, and one that already means “hug” too? I feel like it should be a different symbol, and located where there wasn’t already a shortcut.
Well, if they did, it sure looks confusing… 
Hug is the friendship button
Hug is the friendship button
I don’t really like it... 2 buttons and no matter which one you press you can just scroll to the other side anyway
me neither
i can just turn to the night sky and tap on the button above to access my friend stars
Yeah with the buttons you’re forced to open to either isle or the crown constellation
any new beta stuff?
kind of a lot, start from when?
from the end of the season beta
friendship button?
go check in the game and see how you like it (or not)
im not in beta
☔️
@unreal stone, I suggested them to replace it with the real friendship button, I thought the hug was totally confusing. I don´t really like the placement either.
Ah so that’s the new ‘friendship’ button for reals? Yeah I don’t see the point in it. I think it just adds more visual clutter with 2 buttons to do the same thing at the same spot and is confusing (looks like a bug, since there’s no one to hug).
@elder shard if you wanna see this friendship button, I had reported it as a bug in channel beta-bugs-iOS and included a screenshot, because I thought it was a bug
I also reported it as a bug lol
pops in from the side: please read the notes for each new patch release! pops back out
whaf is happening in the one chat
Did they send another invitation for Beta?
It’s gone to heck

Do we get seasons in Beta?
Yup, in-between seasons in the live version.
So around when Lightseekers end, we’ll be testing a new season... hopefully.
No problem! I’m excited to see what’s next.
im very excitedddd
Why is this game did not release in android??¿!!!!😤😤😤
Can someone explain how I can get the headphones in the android beta. I played music from another app but it didn't appear
If it was reliably going to work across the major android engines and devices, it would have been released sooner. There are still problems that need fixing and they are working really hard. Patience is a virtue. ❤️
@celest yarrow the point of beta is to test new features that may be released to the Live game.
yes I know this
So, we don’t just “get” seasons, we are supposed to test them for potential bugs and glitches. Along with other features TGC are considering introducing to the game, such as the current friend button at the constellation stone.
Seasons are usually shorter in beta as well
Someone told me there are no seasons in Beta that's why I asked ..the first time I played was towards the end of one so I didn't know if they discontinued it or not in Beta
I see. Yes, sometimes the season in beta is shorter or ends “prematurely”.
But again, anything that appears in Live is usually tested in beta first.
That’s what beta is for. (And friends...?)
do i count as beta for testing the bots ability to @ everyone lol
you can become an Alex Beta member
Alex beta member?

i am confusion
you’re basically a tester for the Discord Bot, Solar
oh lol

Maybe ask in #beta-discussion-android ? I have no clue about Androids, sorry. On iPhone you may need to have haptics turned on.

@misty hazel You can't get headphones in android currently, the feature doesn't seem to be available yet
Has the IOS beta closed permanently, or will they open more spots?
TGC said there will be more slots if/when new testers are needed
Ok thanks!
to the person playing flute in homespace earlier today that listened to me play "married life" and then played it but better, i hope youre doing well if youre on this server ;-;

has beta started testing out the new season yet or?
No not yet
nope, you would probably have noticed it here otherwise - lol!
Who else is excitedly (and slightly impatiently) waiting for next week? I’m hoping there is a new season to test! I’m also slightly concerned with the long drawn out android testing process, in that since it’s still a major focus, whether there might be a delay in the next season or not. Guess only time will tell!
I can’t wait
Will Sky: Children of the Light be relased in this year yet?
Released already
@torpid nymph please don’t spam your question in multiple channels, any news on android release will be in #news
PS5 release when 😄
Samsung smart fridge release when 😄
inb4 "tamagotchi release when?" 
why is no one else freaking out that a tgc community member just made a joke???
i'm getting used to it
Didn't question it lol
I forgot community team jokes are foreboden 
Also, is there a livestream today?
Hahahaha I just asked in live game channel😂
alright saw it
Didn’t read anything about unspecified date
me neither
I was hoping on some major beta update
there is not, we'll announce when the next one will be. unfortunately the in-game opening message didn't get the memo >_>
yeah it should definitely get updated
The messaging is hard coded into the system schedule in advance. we don't have the ability to edit it on the fly right now. We're working on changing it so we can be more reactive with messaging.
Obtain messages from a link instead of building it inside the app?
I'm trying to play on macOS (Sky 0.4.10 - 137329) but on start it shows "Touch to update", "A new version of Sky is available !"
macOS beta is on hold
Ok :3

Betafaq is not gonna change for a relatively long period, it’s just giving you instructions about where you can find the newest info
When in doubt, newsletter
I’ve been neglecting beta, and when I signed on today my friendliness meter had gone down 😅😭
If they had implemented a full sliding scale for the friend rating, -100 to 100 instead of 0-100, now that'd be something fun
Growing little devil horns if you slip to far into the negative...
Lol! Skykids could start making that krill crackle noise as they walk
Kraaakk..kk...kkkk.kkk.....
if there was a negative standing i would definitely let myself get there just for horns
has anyone noticed their meter decaying?
🤔
is friend rating a beta only thing?
yes
@woeful lodge here's the answer to your question in #593970570442440724 : "KtjnToday at 12:36 PM
The messaging is hard coded into the system schedule in advance. we don't have the ability to edit it on the fly right now. We're working on changing it so we can be more reactive with messaging."
thats why it was still saying there was one today
Ah ok so does that mean friend rating might eventually be in live? I like the idea from what I’ve heard about it so far
the friendliness rating is still there? urgh.
I hadn't checked in a while and hadn't seen the badge on anyone, so I just assumed it was finally patched out
it's still being iterated on and has gone through some changes over the course of several builds.
I see. (But I still don't like it.
)
@quaint onyx Like in Fable 😇 😈
I don’t like it either. If you’re kind and helpful, you’re kind and helpful. You don’t need a badge of honour. 🙂
Agreeing with Belpita and Boon
Maybe some active status? Like so you know if that person is active
Bc friend lists get rather confusing when there are a lot of people who just stop playing all together and it’s hard to know when you need to remove someone to clear space
Yeah, I still don't know, for someone's star to be empty, that means they collected the previous light you sent, right? And therefore still playing?
There's not like an expiration date on light gifts, right?
And on badges, the Newbie badge is actually useful. New players and OOB enthusiasts are almost indistinguishable! Is that guy jumping repeatedly into a wall lost or a pro?!
That badge has saved me many candles.
Idk I’d just like a “last online (for example) 11 hours ago” kinda thing
@turbid bear I wouldn't, privacy and all. But a voluntary status setting would be cool.
I mean a lot of games have that
Animal crossing pocket camp and the switch friends list comes to mind
But if they were to add it maybe it could be optional to have on or not
Maybe like a “never show” “only show friends” or “only show mutual best friends” kinda thing so not everyone can see
But that would be harder I guess
Definitely don’t want that kind of info to be automatically available. I don’t have that label floating above my head IRL, I don’t want it in Sky life either 🙃
i think itd be cool as an optional thing for sure
an "active" vs. "inactive" indicator would be nice though. I have a lot of people in my friends list that are definitely never online and no real way to sort them
Do we have any idea when the next beta wave will happen?
yea cd like a very active, active, inactive thing might be nice but optional because u know
@topaz pewter nope. When things like that happen, TGC will announce it in #beta-announcements, so your best bet is to keep an eye on that channel.
Ok, thanks!
so many bugs recently 😢
I mean it’s the beta, which is for finding and squishing bugs, so.... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry the question, but the numbers in the notifications count as an error?
In Spanish, numbers and parentheses appear in these notifications
😬
They look like this
"Mantén el mundo de <1>Sky</1> seguro y 2>no</2>
compartas información personal en línea. Eso incluye
pero no se limita a nombre reales, número de teléfono,
correos electrónicos y domicilios."
Looks like a bug to me, when I see similar (English) text of that it shows sky and not in different font/colours

The Beta Cape was a one-time reward for the testing period prior to the iOS global launch. A future reward is not planned.
Ah so it's not for beta Android?
Nope
In the android beta you can get the founder’s cape for free though, and it looks pretty similar
0.7.0 is out!!!!!
New season starts on Monday
New content
New features
Feature updates
Update!

the update 😭
im mostly excited for learning what new content and features are hahaha
exploring time boys
Does anyone have info on official release for android?
Not a beta player, but I'm so excited to know what next season is going to be 
@low briar none of us do
@proven trout oh. I guess I was just hoping someone did. No worries.
omg
They’ve only had the android beta out for a few months, and there’s a ton of optimization that needs to happen. They’re working really hard on it though!

icons now look more transparent
When you try things on, it even tells you which level the cosmetic is from
goshh im so excited to see this new season
Same! I’m really looking forward to seeing what the seasonal aesthetic is
yeesss and if it's this "belongings" season. it looks like it'll be close to gratitude color-wise
just based on the symbol
wooooo
The message popped up on my screen again when I teleported home. I wonder if that’s intentional 🤔
same
Y’all. The Lightseeker pendant is in my closet.
How do u get this pendant
My day is made.
There isn’t a light seeker pendant in my closet even though I participated ;-;
From participating in the previous season.
Have you gone to a level and then teleported back? That’s when I showed up for me
Hmm?
I’ll try that. Thanks!
Yw! Let us know if it works!
Sure, I'm not really doing anything special though
Where is the closet?
I wanna get the pendent too
yup, went to prairie and the pendant showed up after
The little nook where you put on different accessories @rigid socket
The pendants are in the same one as instruments
New season starts Monday!
Hooraaaay!!!
Okay the pendant showed up!
EPIC
Ahh I don't see it, do i have to buy the season pass to get it?
i have to say, i don't really understand why people would want to wear past pendants other than they look nice lol
The game glitched for just a split second and i saw the quest spirit in a new cape
It looked like this
Nvm i cant send pics
How do I get the pendent?
It was white with gold trim
put it in #beta-screenshots-videos
If you participated in the previous season, then the pendant should be there @rigid socket . If it’s not showing up, try going somewhere else then teleporting home
But different than the winter one, it was flat on the bottom
@@pallid trellis go into a level and check the closet. Should be under the instruments category
no
Looks like it’s season of belonging
@brazen flicker I'll try that, thank you so much!
its not winter
@fathom notch do u have a picture?
Participate? Wdym like got the adventure pass?
Yes @pallid trellis
Ahh alright
Oh I don't have a pass cuz I joined mid season
If you weren’t playing the beta during the last season, then I don’t think the pendant will be there. I wasn’t in beta during Gratitude, and that one is missing for me
same here
I got a pic!
put it in #beta-screenshots-videos !!!
It looks like if you missed a season cosmetic the slot for it disappears from your closet
also, there are 4 daily quests now?
oh good @safe dirge
ive been begging for that feature forever
Oml I love preview option
And how it tells where it is now so you don’t gotta look at guide
That’s actually kind of nice. Then we don’t have to stare at the things we can never get 😂
Where is preview option?
nice
oh my god im so excited for the preview and pendants
Yeah I was wondering why we couldn’t keep pendants previously it’s so cool
i'm absolutely ecstatic about the slots for items you cant get being goe
Tgc is so great. They’ve been so busy, but they still took time to listen and include stuff like this 
gone*
Omg are we getting journey capes this season?
Ultimate reward looks like the white journey cape
exactly!! these were the main things i actually tried to suggest be included and its actually going to be a thing??
Maybe violin!? 👀👀👀👀
i saw that and im too excited
Are they gonna bring winter back? I assumed that was gonna be the next one they bring
Wait where did you see that?
bought the white cape just bc i wanted to be able to dress like journey characters
They’ve said winter will come back, just not when
Oof
Cuz winter fast approaching and they last a month at least each
plot twist: the next season is winter and theyre hiding it 😂

You know all : (
are you enjoying our freak outs ktjn
maybe they dont need to test it as much bc theyve already released it before
Yeah that’s what I mean
hmmm
So maybe it’s test for season after
Your joy gives me life
WHO KNOWS well obviously Ktjn
honestly im just excited to see whatever theyre going to do next
me when i see new updates: AAAAAAAH
Very excited cheese on toast
dont even have the beta but my eyes are popping out for new spoilers bc i cant handle the suspense
Im excited about potation journey gear!!!!!
I bought extra candle supplies. I can make chibi seasonal candles this time. I’m so excited 😆
Potential*
ohhh gosh i dont want to go to sleep because i want to just sit in this chat and freakout
Isn’t it likely that this IS the winter season, just reworked and renamed?
we'll see on Monday i guess 
Probably not considering the quest spirits cape isnt from the winter season at all
I wonder if there will be changes in the office when the season starts
It looks like the white cape from journey
Ooo what if it snows in office
whoever managed to take a picture in that split second has a really amazing reaction time
LOL indeed
Hahaha
I’ve tried so hard to ss it disappears too fast
I just recorded a video and screenshotted that frame lol
OHHH that’s makes sense
I was hooowwww
I was gonna just screen record and call it quits
i managed to get a picture of half of his body this way 😂😂
New beta update?!?!!?!? 
Download it Pines!
Yes : )
I GOT A GOOD ISH ONE
runs to my ipad like simba running to save the pridelands

Yaaaaay
Omg naru, I love your holiday name! Lol!
Oh I saw the pendent
Can someone show me the pendant/journey cape?
I gotchu
I don’t think it’s the Journey cape, guys.
It’s close enough tho to at least make believe
Hihi
Nothing wrong with that! Just trying to avoid spreading misinformation- it’s crazy how quickly rumors like that spread lol
So whats going on?
Hello!
New beta update just came out. There’s a new season to test, starting Monday!
Season of Belonging
it vaguely resembles the journey cape and that is enough for me
yeah lol
Thanks Boon 😊
those are from december of last year
and who knows, it could just be a placeholder. or not even the cape that will be on the spirit 😂
Now that I think about it
Ah sorry!!
That cape looks like that one winter cape
Deleted. Didn’t check the date, was too excited!
Lol! Didn’t notice until I clicked on it
"Crabs will lunge at nearby players now" were what they were doing not lunging at players
With a trim of yellow at the edge of it
I found the name of the season lol
oh ok makes sense
