no problem, hopefully it’ll be resolved soon 
Is it possible to friend someone on iOS from the Android Beta, or are they separate games?
If they’re in iOS live then no it’s not possible. Live and beta are separated. If they’re in iOS beta then yes 
What about account syncing, can i still continue my full game in beta?
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
If you mean does progress transfer than no
(Sad sky child noises)
Oh ya, I purchased the starter pack on the Android Beta and it gave it to me for free.
try not to get too attached to your beta account. not only is it seperate from live, but beta is often buggy, not all features stay in beta (such as traveling spirits), and TGC might find it necessary to wipe our beta progress in the future
Neat
I know sometimes it says “early access” but it’s not rly that, just a full beta version to test updates before they hit live
I got the harp and the first time i played it. I started playing Time Adventure by Rebecca Sugar, I didn't even know the chords 😂
Harpie and me, we are meant to be
Hi! I started playing Beta a few days ago. Is Beta-feedback something beta players should be able to see or it is for developers only?
it’s intentionally hidden from us
Ok! Thank you
no problem!

it’s to help make sure our feedback is only informed by our personal experience, rather than responding to other people’s feedback
:)))))
Forgot whats the fix for item not shown? Friend signed up for android beta and its not in the play or play games list
Or how many minutes for it to kick in?
!notfound
If you're getting the Item Not Found message, make sure the Google Play app itself is up to date. if it is up to date, try clearing the Google Play cache and restarting your phone by turning it completely off and back on.
If you have multiple Google accounts try toggling between them and make sure you're viewing from the Google Play account that was accepted into the Beta.
If none of the above works, there’s some other troubleshooting steps pinned in #beta-discussion-android you can try. It's a known issue for many games in the Play store, not just Sky.
Thanks
Everything in beta is free, so nothing in the in-game store costs actual money.
Happy DL78 noises

i have over 100 gift passes in beta lol
Wow haha
How is it actually, will beta be turned down sometime, so we're not able to play with this account anymore? I'm just curious.
Since it's just for testing.
it’s possible our account progress will be wiped, for testing purposes
it’s rare to outright lose your beta account
i believe you lose your account if you’re inactive for a long time though (since there are limited slots available)
the beta program itself will probably continue to exist for as long as TGC keeps working on sky
always new things to test
I see, thanks!
I'm having live but it's not working properly, so I wanted to test out beta.
Hope live will come soon on android.
no problem!!
I'm using a music sheet but it's too fast for me, is there a setting to make it go slower?
Tbh idk who can keep up with music sheet
She needs to slow down
Tell her to take a break
there’s no setting for speed i’m afraid, it’s full speed or nothing 
The tempo stops for no one 
I suppose you're playing the music sheet from the bird call spirit? it is the fastest and most difficult sheet available now
the music sheets from fish and manta call spirits (forest and valley, respectively) are more easy to play, but harder to obtain because both sheets are high up in the spirit's trees
i have a question,,,,,
i was on youtube
and someone was complaining about a spirit needing 999 hearts on one of the official tgc videos
to be capeless
and i asked them how they knew it was true
and theyre like hop in beta
and i saw this yt channel who was capeless and had this beach hat which didnt look like the lightseeeker's beahc hat at ALL
if it’s an item that hasn’t appeared yet in the game at all, then it sounds like a hack or a hoax to me
They’re a hacker
oh
yeah
i was kind of confused becasue
i didnt see anything like this in beta
oh yep theyre a hacker
thanks though!!!!
no problem 
The 999 heart price was confirmed by Ktjn a while ago. She said that while the current place in the constellations is a placeholder, the price isn’t. Take that as you will...
Okay thank you 
999 hearts!? Are you crazy tgc? That would take years to get!
Wait how’d I become a Beta Tester? Whatever, I’m fine with it 😛
The iOS and Android betas are full at the moment, @spark lance. To join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-announcements! Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the
in #old-𝚛ules to be notified of important updates.
android beta is actually open i think hehe
Too bad I don’t use android
Maybe they want to be able to help make the game even better...?
you can have both live and beta on ios
You would want to go to iOS beta if your friend was in the Android Beta.
@nova sandal 999 hearts for what?
mysterioush for an invisible cape cosmetic hehe. it’s a joke item, an easter egg added into beta for fun by one of the designers
Where is the spirit of the Cape tho..?
oh lol
no problem Diana
Can i go to the secret level in sky bêta ?
yep
K I have a question about sky beta...
When you play in sky beta do you start out with no emotes/cosmetics and do you have to earn them all again? Or do you get to keep them in the beta?
you start out with nothing
just like starting for the first time in the live game
if you want emotes and cosmetics you have to earn them like normal
when the game officially comes out will we be able to link it up with our previous accont?
!betalive
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
Please ask in #beta-looking-for-group
ever since i updated my HD screenshots have just been a solid white or black colour
anyone else?
nvm
its reported
are we able to do seasonal challenges and stuff in beta?
for now, no
okay
There's traps in this game! I fell into a circle of rocks surrounded by sea and I couldn't get out and lost a winged light!
I'll call it void bug

Didn't get any bites in lore, but anyone know if they're using Spot or On-demand server scaling?
Can’t tell from the data we can access
More wondering if there's a "cheapest" time to play Sky?
Is anyone here from india
Eden spoiler ||so I was riding a manta in the flying part after you die and it glitched out of bounds with me still attached XD ||
@spark lance I'm from USA and have lots of friends from all over the world in sky both live and beta!
It depends alot on the time of day you play, also why I was wondering about pricing structure
@random gull so how can i invite u
Oh, I didn't even think... Since beta's global, think there's a set location for all the beta servers... Or think they move the servers around based on time of day?
Anyone notice an uptake in disconnects depending on when they play?
Hm... I'm doing Eden with my friends and we made it to the end of Eden, only to die after using all of our stars, and once we turn to a blue orb, it takes us back after a white screen to run that same ending sequence again. This has happened to anyone else?
sounds like the unfortunate eden death loop bug, if you're talking about being looped to the beginning of the area with the statues without being able to go into the room where you hug the starkid
@onyx plaza yes that’s suppose to happen you are suppose to die.. every time you become reborn you get an extra something to your winged cape.. extra light spirits to help make you stronger for the next “reborn”
The more souls you give to those statues the more pink candles you will receive I think it’s like every 4 or 5 you light you get 1 pink candle.. (don’t quote me on that) but if u press the ? button on the top right it will tell you I believe
Yeah @exotic atlas! I closed the app and came back and it solved it... but initially i stayed to run it twice more because it has happened in Live before and it would fix itself after 1-2 extra runs. But in Beta case we tried it 5 times to no avail. But I will be submitting the bug in a bit!
Thank you !
no prob!
If y'all ever see someone playing the skyrim theme song on a harp. That's me. Feel free to add me as a Friend
@quaint onyx ik this is in response to an old question but i was wondering about that, im playing on west coast us timezone and when i play alone at night, i rarely lag, crash, or disconnect, but when i play during the day, like, w friends, then my game will be SUPER laggy and its a blessing when i don't disconnect. ive been wondering if that happens to others
some idea bout when will the next season start In beta?
around the time when the season is over in live
@kindred fossiland how long is that?
~ 2 weeks
There’s already something about a new season?
What is the resolution when Sky run graphics at default mode, boosted mode on android ?

is anyone else have a problem with the chat being super delayed rn?
I'm lagging while writing, but sending isnt delayed
in-game chat sometimes lags for me yeah, my message takes a few seconds to show up after i send it
me too. live ver too.
Nicoooo is doing a hide and seek and I'm hiding here
Anyone know where i can find the bow expression?
I keep searching for it but nothing :(
It’s in the flying race.
Does anybody have the Capeless cape yet
can't wait for PC release, tho
unlikely unless they're exploiting.
...or a dev account >_>

But really, for android live launch, how bout a real cape?
Or atleast a chance to buy one
i don't really understand the game too well. lmao
Meet anyone cool?

there was this one guy who let me follow him to places i wasnt supposed to unlock yet
you figure out the game as you go along
don’t feel like you have to understand everything
@spark lance I have the same problem as you, except it happens at any time
Does anyone have a problem with the game stopping your music from playing
Sometimes I want to zone out while I play the game but it appears the game don't like that
I wonder
What is the resolution when Sky run graphics at default mode, boosted mode on android ?
Im still waiting for the answer from someone

Baseline is 30fps, but it'll depend on your device's GPU whether it can achieve that or not. Some lower end devices run at 18fps, it runs the game, but not well which is why we have a prompt informing them their gameplay experience will be impacted if it's below the recommended specs. Higher end devices can achieve 60fps.
What about the resolution ? 720p or lower. I only see ios device can reach 1080p
depends on the device, some can run high def.
not all iOS device can run high def either.
sneep snorp
i was never here
can beta players participate in the #polls? like can they get the candles if they won the giveaway?
no
We can participate poll whether betaplayer or not.
Rewards from poll are only relevant to live.
wouldn't really make sense since 1) there's no season running in beta 2) beta is a public test realm and you won't really benefit from gaining those candles, since beta is subject to being wiped of progress when tgc sees fit
oh alright thanks for answering 
Is the new season coming soon, I can't wait to wear new clothes 
@rose grotto 1/3 res for default, 2.5 for boosted, and 1/2 native res for hi-def mode.
For a my 2880×1440 screen atleast
Results may vary
Mine is kinda blury with 2960×1440 screen
With default mode
It looks like 720p resolution
Idk
It better a little bit with boosted def mode. Like 960p
my galaxy note 10 can do both high def modes and 60fps works fine! my old note 5 can't even find the app XD
I meant to add that clarification to the poll rules, thanks for the reminder. Tea and Pigeon are correct. The rewards can only be granted to a Live account, but everyone is welcome to participate.
Not sure if this only applies to android, so I'll ask here too
I think ive found where the 118th star disappeared to, the star behind yawn spirits workshop in prairie was "pre collected" for me after Eden
Can anyone who has recently done Eden confirm if this shiny boi was already pre-collected for them too?
I think a friend said they could collect it twice, actually.
So that’s confusing.
@hollow compass wow, if only... 119

@dire escarp did you published on Facebook too ?? But yes , it happened many times
I never could get it afterwards though in the same place
Yep, I know a few people there who aren't here
But this has been happening since a long time now
This one is tricky, we haven't been able to replicate it in order to fix it.
Yeah , it happens at random and the pre collected wing childs are in different places
I wonder if something like a "bug news" channel to post dev communication about the following would be useful:
-bugs fixed due to player reports (to encourage more reports with helpful details)
-bugs that aren't bugs (the fur cape icon is grey on purpose)
-bugs we're prioritizing but haven't identified a complete fix for but are making incremental improvements on (friend connectivity)
-bugs that are fixed but won't take effect until the next patch/build
I heavily endorse this 👆
i'll give the team 3000 likes!!!
you guys weren't able to do so in the past because customer support cannot focus on thing like this / no technical writer. I'm more than happy now it's possible
Yes please , so many things i gave up on reporting cause none was ever done with it
It would be very useful ktjn, communication is really important
Although, I do like the moment of joy that comes from finding out that they fixed a bug you reported
In game, I mean
"Somebody read the thing I put! And they listened even though I used the phrase "it be all wild'n" to describe the bug!"
But in text form would be nice too
Right, I realize from your perspective it doesn't look like we do anything with those reports.
In reality, I pull those reports every morning, put them in a spreadsheet, send them over to our QA team who investigates every report (looking at screenshots and videos and attempt to replicate bug) and documents the status of the report and creates a ticket and assigns it to a developer to fix. once fixed, the ticket is closed. player reported fixed go into a separate log. I review the closed ticket log and compile the technical information in them and convert it into player-facing communications that end up in the patch notes for you all to see.
what y'all see: crickets ...... patch notes
what we all see: bUgFiXeS aNd ImPrOvEmEnTs
wow thats a lot of steps
okay so... there's an explanation as to why those build notes are painfully generic.
Couldn't see the harm in making stuff like that more open
Non-exploitable bugs and such
i'm guessing it's because you don't want to bore players with a 50 page long technical explanation about how these bug reports helped with fixing sky and how people found the root of the problem?
Then they just wouldn't read them 
there's no harm it's more of bandwidth to support it (aka when do I find free time to put that messaging together on a regular basis and it doesn't get abandoned when things get busier and leave y'all in the dark)
There are dorks out there that actually like to go through ToS's and such

it would come at the cost of something, probably the brief moments i jump in discord to chat with you all, which I highly value having the opportunity to do and would break my heart to give up.
I live with a dork who thrives on those things
they're called technical writers.
lolll
Is it just a google doc or something? I know that doesn't ever feel "professional" enough, but alot of power in just ease
we buy something, open the box, they pull out the instructions and plunk down like it's a good novel.
i mean, there is something to be said about reading the specs for a product
it's usually in docs, spreadsheets, or jira ticket boards.
it can be very interesting (or im just a huge nerd but probably both lol)
BTW, sorry you had to translate "that spirit be wild'n" into technical terms 
wait i thought that was technical terms
thanks ktjn for always been providing some insight of how things work
but anyways, I do trust that you guys are taking the bug reports and doing stuff with it. otherwise there probably wouldn't be a feature to report bugs, much less a beta
yeah thanks ktjn

time for a brief supper before i finish up the javadoc (which i hate so much)

My pleasure! Being curious about what goes on behind the scenes eventually landed me in game dev. So if I can spark that curiosity in others by sharing the nuts and bolts to inspire future game devs, i'll consider it a job well done.
Forgot to follow up about the build notes. so those little bullet point snippets are localized in advance so we can kinda plug them in as we need, they're purposefully generic so they are reusable on a moment's notice (such as 2am builds on the weekend when everyone is supposed to be sneeping) they also usually come from the engineers or designers who don't typically engage in player-facing communications.
Know what, forget what I said, stop giving us info. We aren't worth it 
The game's the thing, we're just a side-event
spending time on long build notes for every build means Ktjn (and/or others) spend less time on other things
not saying ktjn must do anything, pros and cons
132840, that had to be prior to global launch, yeah? that's before my time but i believe a different person who isn't here anymore was responsible for those.
there's also a stark difference in character limit between Android and iOS. iOS is 3000, Android is 500.
i've never read update notes on android
So! with all the bug talk, I do actually want to make a big request. We are going to be doing another pass on persistent bugs, you know the ones that you've reported a thousand times or just accepted as a fact of reality. This doesn't mean we'll fix them overnight, but want to get fresh eyes on the things that drive you all (and us too) bonkers. We'll be putting a broader ask across the community. You don't have to submit new bug reports, a sentence or two is fine.
oh! we can finally get a better flying mechanic!?
i wonder if peter's ears are burning at the mention of flight mechanics >_>
My top guesses would be:
friend connectivity (we already on it y'all)
the umbrella/flame thing
the krill in the wasteland cutscene when the server swaps
eden bugs
sneep
snorp
nah those are quality of life improvements
back to the two-hours-ago topic. about the potential bug-news channel, we already have known-issue channel tho, would bug-news look like daily work report 
sometimes it's both >_>
umm, the known issues is more for persistent game-breaking stuff like broken quests.
you mean will dig deeper into internal functions
whereas bug-news would be more frequent snippets of information that's less critical/gives visibility.
I assume something that’s gonna be fixed in the future are the clouds outside the valley temple, but I think I might miss them when that happens.
It’s fun when you’re in the temple all happy and nice, then you go out the window and SQUARE SQUORP
we'll miss you, minecraft clouds 
you mean that best feature of Sky?

is anyone else having trouble sending bug reports with skybot? skybot keeps seeming to randomly forget we’re in the middle of a report and stop responding to me.
bug news disappeared
restard discord? i see it
i moved it
its under bug reports hehe
nah you're good, I didn't even know it was added already jsjsjs
it won't be just beta stuff, so i figured it should be with its bug-related brethren
Hey nice! I think this is a really good idea cause it keeps us informed on what y’all are working on as you said
Persistent bugs like the lack of a “light all friend stars” button? 😛
that would fall under not-a-bug
it’s a feature
I think we've spoke on livestream that we had no plans to add a send-all button. It's meant to be a meaningful gift to your friends, adding a send-all button cheapens the emotional value of the exchange.
There should be a way of seeing them all without having to restart home or the game if y’all wanna keep it that way
Takes a lot of time
We're working on that, we know it's a huge pain point.
Thank you :0
is it possible they might make an option to toggle it to list view in the future so I can see all my friends names? I don't mind going one by one and seeing their character. but the constellation is sometimes hard to get everyone D:
It’s getting to the point, tho, where I might be willing to live with the blinking red dot just to not have to send light
I don't know what the UI overhaul looks like, but I'll definitely keep that suggestion in mind.
C'mon! A send to all would not really cheapen anything by now. Yes, I get your point, that the act of lighting them individually is like a little individual prayer to that person. For my I guess thats true because I have yet to fill my first page of 'friends' in game and plan to keep it that way. It means for me, that the people in that tree are people to treat as you describe.
The reality though is that I'm abnormal in this regard. Most players will have screeds of in-game 'freinds' and really, they don't give a whit about most of them; many are once-met fly-by friends, others are casual acquaintances that are happy to light your candle if you light theirs. For most people, lighting all of those friends e v e r y d a y is just to get something back; it's not an act of giving or altruism.
So whilst I love your intent, it's not, unfortunately backed up by reality for most players. What we have now is basically the latest in a long iteration of these "home spaces". It's better than some of the old ones, but it's by no means faster or less clumsy to use. When some players have so many friends, it just becomes another chore in the grind of the game. A send all could be added that only sends to favourite friends. Set a limit on the number of favourite friends, and you then allow that button to only effect people that have more meaning to the player.
It can be done in way that respects your hopes and desires for the players without needing to diminish it I think.
Oh, and yes, I did see @empty inlet s request. seconded.
better flight!
Oh that
so by only doing that, ppl that only play every couple of days stop getting light and then reciprocate the same way, and the bond is broken. this defeats the "altruism" goal of the game
Oh that
@empty inlet yes that. Just the most important thing. Give it back!
Please.
can't wait for the next bug-news update
i started putting my tablet on normal mode instead of my usual DeX mode to play sky(DeX doesnt work properly)
i gotta get used to app placements

no problem! 
Just found a YT video and there was a facepalm emote in forest in old beta but removed in past version, will there be any plan to bring it back?
One can only hope.
Should I get all the things I unlocked before I go into Eden again
Regarding the previous convo: I would love a "send to all" button for friend lights. It would also be nice to be able to sort people somehow, although unsure how (if alphabetically or by how close we are).
And yes, some sort of remove button for all those inactive players, instead of blocking. Blocking has a much more symbolic value and I feel it shouldn't be used light-heartedly.
So for the persistent bugs , like : the light icon not showing, gates that take ages to open while lighting them , dark plants that are still oob , dark plants that don’t give flight power after collecting their light , the visual clipping in some areas. Those just pop up in my mind that bother me while playing but know that they are there for a while now
^^ they’re small but very annoying lol.
Players learn to deal with it , it’s the same as when you try to burn plants on the bell towers , when you make a small jump , you’ll overshoot like you’re ice skating. Same goes for the area before the race gate. If you want to light the candles there just walk cause jumping makes you move like a madman
Oeh , and a golden oldie, the candles in the forest that still don’t give wax 🤣
Rob it’s best to post these in #live-feedback or #beta-feedback depending on the version to make sure they’re seen!

Okie🤗

Say, anyone running Sky from a jailbroken iOS device?
Like is there a safteynet equivalent for iOS that prevents Sky or any app with IAPs from being run?
This is coming from someone who knows nothing about iOS in general
well at least you know about the Android stuffs so 
Jail broken iOS ???? That’s sooooooo 2007
Dev is having a hard time...
some app will detect if you’re jailbroken or not, like snapchat, but sky don’t do that
and jailbreak can also bypass this kind of detection by turning jailbreak off for some specific apps
Is there an up to date video on where all the winged light is in this game?
Excuse me, how can I have de beta pass ?

no
there isn’t
Dang
invite waves happen if and when tgc needs new testers
no problem 
@devout edge the next season isn’t being tested yet. we know nothing about it.
Guys, what happens when you get all the lights in the triumph race?
Nothing
Then what's the point of the bar filling up
personal satisfaction
Oh OK then. 15 MINS FOR NOTHING
Been there
Me too
it actually gives you more light inb4
will get one full candle if you fill up the bar completely
but then it becomes super impossible to fill it up, so here we are

Ugh this game keeps crashing on me
It's sucks when you're in vault, going up floors and you have do it all over again cause you crashed
return shrine?
use the return shrine
You can also access the return shrine from the Emote menu (it's next to the flame icon). It will return you to your last checkpoint, wherever that may be!
that sounds really frustrating
i’m sure tgc would appreciate a bug report about it if you haven’t made one already. hopefully it can be fixed soon 
i feel like there should be a beta faq
and i also feel like the only thing that should be in there is this: you will NOT get the beta cape if you join the current beta
maybe also something about how beta doesnt transfer to live but like
idk im tired and that popped into my head so i thought i would share lol
wait there is
i do not spend enough time on this server
i
i didnt even realize there was an faq chat


hehe, it's okay, no one reads anything, or at least that's how the joke goes. we're working on overhauling the FAQ.
no one
skybot: reads everything
Wuts th’ update on th’ update
patch notes say "fixed screenshots" and "improvements on disconnecting from friends"
Forget that small stuff! What about the crashing! Fix that then the smaller things
Bold of you to assume we aren't fixing both at the same time.
Unfortunately these things don't fix themselves or at the snap of a finger.
Crash bugs can sometimes be a snap to fix but most times they are a nightmare. Most of my own crash reports end up being in areas of the system, not my own. Which means “somewhere” in my code I’ve done something and sometime later the system has got upset so connecting the two is impossible. It can be very very frustrating.
Ook. That wasn’t meant to disagree with you Ktjn. Poor timing of my use of “snap”
Also when I play music apparently it's supposed to stop it's own music and give my character earphones... That doesn't happen
It’s not supposed to do that
Headphones is when you're listening to external music and is only on iOS. You can listen to external music on android but the headphones won't appear.
Depending on the crash, yeah it can definitely be a quick fix though deploying the fix might take additional time which makes it less quick.
On the flip side we have multiple engineers 100% dedicated to the friend connection issue for months and we're just now making huge headway.
Ktjn are servers gonna be expanded one day in the future ? Maybe 10-12 players per server ?
If it makes sense for the game, it's something we might consider, but there's a whole host of things that would need to be addressed before we could make a change like that.
One reason for testing traveling spirit in beta added

I agree , you might want to test the 11th wedge
Btw , after testing the seasonal candles reception animation for 6 weeks , I came to the conclusion that it works really good
My game cant download prairie for some reason...I've downloaded it from the play store
Are you playing the android beta version?
Yes
#beta-discussion-android is a better channel for that then, I’ll continue there
Thanks and it's on cross-play ?
Mhm it will have cross-play with IOS live!
There’s no exact date the only confirmation is April
Ok
has anyone else had issues collecting the table spirit in vault? posted a screenshot in #beta-screenshots-videos and idk if I was supposed to do something
you need to get the pray spirit first
darn
and for pray you need telekinesis 
and for telekinesis you need friends

seems a bit hard to figure out if you're a new player 🧐
that’s the way of sky
you don’t understand how to do everything from the beginning
you discover over time
It also helps when you make friends along the way and they help you out
all I saw when I was trying to unlock the spirit was a greyed out pray button
nearly thought it was broken fwiw
a grayed out emote means there's an emote in the area you haven't collected yet
How has friend connectivity been for everyone on this latest build? we want to make sure the actual experience for you all matches the data on our end that it's fixed.
Right now I am unable to join my friend who is located at the Prairie islands. So that's unusual
And the portal from Shipwreck to Battlefield yeeted my friend but didn't disconnect them. On last build I got server split going through it a few times.
so, iOS and Android are beta?
yw
warp failures are a different thing we're still working on. the friend connectivity part is when a friend poofs from your instance for no reason when servers merge.
definitely poofing less, I'll make a bug report if it occurs again soon
how about getting separated into different servers after cutscene
if that's occurring, please let me know.
aye aye ktjn
to my understanding if anyone is poofing at all, please let me know (in this case, it is okay to @ me about this specific issue) exceptions would be if you or the other player crashes entirely, which would be a different issue. the fix we're testing went into effect around noon yesterday.
thank you all, truly. I know this tedious.
I've been getting disconnected from friends if they're too far away, but I can't remember if it was like that before or not. I'm not sure if this is the same issue or a different one either
It was like this
I've only had little poofs in between areas
Ran through prairie and forest and most things went well so far
But no server merge happened so i don’t really know if the issue still exist or not
forest was troublesome in live today, but had no problems here
Only one thing relating to friends poofing in between areas
In the jellyfish area in forest, if the controlling kid keeps running forward without waiting friends enter the area, friends are placed in wrong position and will trigger warp to the entrance of this area (even back to the previous area, this didn’t occurred in this run)
Friends placed in some far position from the controlling kid is a case for many area but not all of them will cause warping
testing connectivity now with friends right now. I can stay connected with friends if I am holding hands (no random disconnects) but if a friend tries to join from home they will appear briefly and vanish
@vapid briar i had a disconnect with a friend today. i put details in #beta-feedback
Does anyone know how to do the black flip
When you fly someone did it with me when they were urbering
And it made them 10 times faster lol
Just, flick up
@empty inlet
Update to my friend connectivity: wasteland we disconnected for a solid 5 seconds but then merged back to the same server. Also got yeeted when exiting a portal. Didn't server switch but had to warp back to my friend. I don't know the names of the areas to effectively specify which portal yeeted me.
Hi! im new to this game! i kept having connectivity issues with my friend. like we are flying halfway and suddenly i just fell and he went missing. we had to switch to home and warp to him multiple times before we finally find each other. it happens a lot at forest and wasteland. hope it is resolved quickly. 🙂
hi quick question beta players, what does the white house symbolize in the secret area
?
Beyond that, we know nothing else 
@shell fossil are you playing Android beta or the Live version of the game?
or maybe you were just replying to Ktjn's post...please ignore me in that case 
live version of the game i think? how to know which version? im on the ios
what does your app icon look like
If you downloaded your game from the AppStore it’s live
If you play through TestFlight it’s beta
this image (made by Ktjn) shows the difference between the live and beta apps
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/620756512117096458/689650615114137626/image0.png
I was thinking maybe you missed clicking the 🕯️ emote button in #rules that lets you have access to the rest of the server.
no they have the child of light role
Right, then perhaps just unfamiliar with the different channels. 
Is there a clear schedule for opening iOS slots?
No
They only open it when they need more testers
And as of now they don’t need any more, at least on iOS 
This is why we should have the travelling spirits in beta, maybe just not in the order of live, so it doesn't give anything away

[LIVE] We are aware that the following issues are occurring with the March 26 Traveling Spirit (Don't Go Expression):
-Traveling Spirit is offering a Season Heart instead of a regular Heart
-Some players who participated in the Season of Belonging may experience the Heart appearing as already unlocked
-The first Blessing in the friendship tree is showing as already unlocked
@hasty knoll you're me
I thought the blessing showing as unlocked was intentional and a nice way to not make us waste 5 candles on a spell just to get to the wing buff.
Sad if it’s just a bug.
@night harbor I am the original
Wonder when the next season comes to beta?
it might not be here for a week or 2 tho right?
i guess it makes sense to tease before beta starts testing
otherwise everyone would just find out from peeking in here
android goes live with new season? makes sense to me 
seems that’s the plan
how long was winter season in beta before it went live?
i don’t remember what the waiting period was, but the ‘season’ only lasted like 11 days
ya i already forgot lol but then maybe it will be the same for this season
looking back on discord history, it looks like there might have been a week or so between rhythm ending in beta and starting in live
who knows if that’s a good indication of how things will play out this time tho
we should really just wait and see
Wonder if they’ll have more slots for beta when the season starts testing 
Excited
oh so does this mean season will be tested soon in beta?
Most likely. Usually a new beta season starts around the end of the live season
Really? I thought it was half way through season 😅
also super hyped for April so I can switch my live account to my phone
beta and live on one device gonna be way easier to switch between the two
Krill cape? Crab cape? Krill call? Anyone?
krill mask tho
Krill mask! Yeah!
Im hesitantly interested in the new season, its always cool to see new places but they’ve so far never felt deep enough
Looking at the teaser makes you think you’ll be transported to a whole new area 😍
Maybe we will get shoes in the closet
‘Krill air max ‘
imagining putting sneakers on a skykid, my brain immediately pictures them reacting like when a cat gets tape on its paw.
XD
I hope the hype isn’t overhype
well whatever its going to be, at least its not a dark deep cave to the side
It does look like maybe something new in Wasteland shipwreck area...?
It looks more like the first area to me (can't remember if it has a name)
^ broken temple I think ^•^
Well the colours are obviously wasteland and there are a mix of buildings from there plus the lake near them. Would be finally great to get beyond that wind wall to the right of the entrance.
I like the word enchantment...
More magic?
The ship isn’t in the game yet it seems(version 147497)
But hope I can see it in the new update
Ship?
Yea
the ship from the teaser trailer?
Uh huh
Ah ok
BOAT
Boat!!!
I don’t see a boat in 147673...
boooaaaattt???
Boaaaattt!!!
boat......
Schrodinger's BOAT!
Ya like boats? 
I liek boat
You’re getting boat and android live how do u feel??
I'm going to Disney World!
Sorry man, it’s closed rn 
stay at home order
There is a bug in eden but I forgot to take screenshot... It's the hugging icon
it's at the edge of the phone screen
instead like on the iphone
i just realized. do you guys think theyll keep the ice area in home after winter? probably not eh?
i'm guessing not, but i don't think we've had confirmation
hmmmm
We will find out in 9 days!
Lotta staff on tonight?
Chance of another 1 AM build?
will beta players be able to transfer their accounts on official launch, or will they need to start from scratch?
!betalive
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
damn
ok
kind of disappointing
that's ok though
i will be able to play with my best friend
are you both beta players?
oh i see
yea
it’ll be nice to finally be able to play together

are improvements to disconnection in build 147673 implemented in build 147664 (live)?
if beta players had been able to transfer their progress to Live there would have been a lot of OP players at the time of launch
What can OP players do?
Just a comment. That new "live-feedback" channel constantly shows that there is something new to read. Even when in fact 99% of the time, there isn't because it auto hides. I know this is most likely a bug in Discord, but if it can be fixed by changing a setting that would be really nice.
Yeah unfortunately it happens because of the current setup on both feedback channels. Members can't see the chat history, but they still get notifications for the channel if they have that channel unmuted
the channel setup is being revised so that doesn't happen and there's more clarity on its functions tho!
for now, just mute it or try to ignore it lol
i wish it we could auto-mute channels, but that isn't a setting yet :/ muting the channel on your end will stop it from showing notifications.
ChecklistForAndroidLaunch.doc
The most feared file on TGC's whole server
Maybe more likely the most feared file in their google docs.
What has been checked off and what remains?
Of course the first line going to be
Item 1 : Make Game less awesome
Checked off, with the note "Fixed. Game sux now"
Oh that Kevin, the company jokester 
Item 2 is.... ????
you're krillin me 
Can't wait for the season of corona.
Oof
Boat
boat.
Is there already an official date when the season will be uploaded?
not yet
Got it thx
There's a beta Facebook group?!
yep
yeah, but it's mostly full of Live players, so most of us beta players have left it
unless it's been reorganised lately
umm ... tried to update and it hung for a long long time. So restarted and Test Flight is now asking me to install Sky Beta 0.8.5 (147673) instead of Update??? So scared to to hit that button 🤣
and my Sky Beta has gone bye bye 
If you linked your account to game center then you'll be fine
Oh I forgot to mention, Ktjn, my friends and I had a connection issue in the prairie temple. I was there with 2 friends and one of them kept disappearing randomly and had to go home and come back only to disappear again ~30 seconds later
None of us were holding hands
PHEW! It was a 45 minute download but ... Yes! I'm still me, with just enough wedges to get around 🤣
Does it have an icon?
nope, i assume it's for the new season, but a bit early to be appearing
Huh, do you have a screenshot?
yeah i'll put them in the channel
Kinda surprising since you wouldn’t expect fighting in a tgc game, even if it’s toned down
pfff i imagine it's exactly what it sounds like
Play flight? Isn’t it just a higher level of the head pat? Looks similar in your photo.
playflight is the one on right branch isn’t it
that would be my guess
is that the 147673 build?
Update!
Ooo
@vapid briar yes
ooooHHHH NEW SEASON
I hope the ultimate gift is something neat
hum preorder
ah okay yeah that was a 0.9.0 build i think, so some elements may have been rolled in. the subsequent build was very broken, so the engineers have been working round the clock to get a working build which just dropped!
I'm excited to explore the new stuff in two days
Unless there's more changes this patch than the patch notes are telling us
We skipped a whole version wrow
did we?
@vapid briar yes i'm on 147673
Traveling spirit😍
rip ice
my fishies are back
Oh no not the ice
global warming :///////
build#: what version?
Yoo new update be qUACKIN RN IM
i saw the notification and smashed it
Where are the friends ????
Oh I’m just used it to it increasing like 0.8.x so I thought it would be 0.8.6 now

A harp?
Shhhhhhh
Don’t spoil :(
Not everyone can play bro
I wanna see for myself
is it possible to give my beta account to my friend?
Is there an intro cutscene?
is it weird that i like to swap genders in beta?
You should report it I guess gnocci
i like to look like a guy in live but then i make myself look more female in beta
I did 👌👌
The season starts on the 30 I don’t think there’s a cutscene yet
Ah
still downloading
Omg whaaaaat
@bright gulch giving away accounts is against tos
ahh i see
Report it even if it has been reported already
please please please submit bug reports!!!
Wait so is there new content already?
but I like the new (?) for final rewards and percentage complete indicator
I’m saying if it was reported anyway still report
Hard to tell from the patch notes if theres anything available yet
new build but the season isn't active.
2 days still pretty soon. Wow
yay! everyone get hyped, but remember to keep beta spoilers in beta channels!
it's beta, everything is on an accelerated schedule, y'all should be used to that by now 
Gotta make sure everything works
Did I miss other traveling spirits in beta?
no, i don't think he's supposed to be there but someone might have missed a checkbox
Ah
And the adventure pass we’re supposed to be able to buy?
Season of Horseshoes? Season of Luck?
What kind of yelling is this? The excited kind or the frightened kind?
I can’t buy a pass but I have my friend passes from last season
Oh I thought it said until March 29. Oops
INB4 it’s season of adventure
I tried to open the adventure pass faq and it crashed lol
||The music is v e r y unsettling??||
lolll
season of season
someone missed a lot of check boxes
Sera i saw you
season of seasoning. lots of people salty about that one 🥁
And then you left
i have found bugs bugs bugs
I just realized we haven’t gotten any new emojis in a while. Is that bc you’ve been too busy with the new content, Pines? 
I found a shiny cloud to follow around
Oh I went back to where I was bc I crashed lol
Are we overhyping this new content?
i am soooooooooo happy that since thounsands of times trying and 3rd time upadate, finally my beta account can download prarie successfully!!!!!!!!! yes it failed every time before.
No
checkboxes
that happens only when everyone unfriends you
How do I update
need to fix a lot trues and falses
not everything is a checkbox, haha. figure of speech.

everything is a checkbox in binary
too real
Please help 
01011001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 10000110010010
just wait, update may not be available in your region yet
So any other guesses? What is that icon supposed to be?
Ok
update from Testflight or Google Play Games
A slice of a boat?
looks like an upside down omega or a horseshoe. season of horses confirmed
The boats were fake we’re riding horses now
lol what
I only have 3 constellations
whenever i press the right away from isle of dawn to go tothe next constellation
yeah
That’s not alarming at all
^^^
shared a crash report
I can see it being Season of Luck
you can upload into a channel here (100mb limit) and send a link in bug report instead
tgc is getting use to wfh ic
the constellations are broken, working on a fix.
bot has no way of knowing what device you're on
it's the weekend so things might be a bit janky until the whole team is in on monday.
I’m both excited to see the new content and sad that the ice rink is gone
even I'm devastated about the ice rink tbh.
well... selecting the right channel is not always guaranteed, so asking again would still happen just to double check and to make it easier no matter where you start
buuut that's what #beta-feedback is for!
Permanent winter at home!
Or something equally as fun during the spring
Yeah but right now we’re just back to water
Nothing exciting
Dolphin riding
sand castle building contest in home space
Hey yo uuuuh
Crashhhhhhhhhed
Theres a
where at
If they manage to make moldable sand, I propose snowball fights next winter
Theres a spi
The valley ice rink just isn’t the same
There’s a really annoying sound after spirit quest in wasteland
welp i crashed in prairie
It’s like a whale with tummy pain
I just lit a spir
If that icon is lyre, it could be Season of Rhythm 2
Actual question/request:
Droidy's : Hold on the Sky app icon, go into "App info", and post what it says under storage
game crashed when i clicked the horseshoe looking thing
It s'coo
Btw, 100% expecting to meet Peter Pan and Hook in Neverland
if there's anyone who didn't have the traveling spirit's expression from when we tested season of belonging, could you send me a screenshot of what its spirit shop looks like?
yeah
wasteland, it's a tough one if you need a hand to complete it. i'll come assist.
Oh boy. Good luck, guys!
Arghrghr! Anyone! Storage size! Game! What is it?!
ODR is turned off, so you're downloading the whole game.
All of it
Lots
ABHFGVHfccg
i think it's close to 1gb
There are gift candles in the air !!!!!!!
Sky's a chonkyboi
Like mushrooms
When I was downloading just now it said like 779 mb or smth
I didn't get belonging. I'll try to get the emote solo and get a screen cap. 
When you open the app info in settings, how much space is it taking up?
I need just one other person's number
1,50 gb
Has anyone else found other gift candles hanging in the air ????
Ok, the game has doubled in size with one build 
there are boats all over sky
These were near the light kids cave in new wasteland
some are just invisible, buried, or broken.

And no one else can download Valley, Vault, or Eden right?
rhythm isn't active so no you cannot on beta
||ok so there was sleep emote spirit by the ark in the new area, it was kinda glitchy when lighting but I got it?? Is that supposed to happen as of rn??|| @vapid briar
Oh
Can’t believe I’m off to explore wasteland help
I could download and i did
It did? Droid, or iOS?
||Different from the faint emote right?||
@austere merlin ||ye||
@vivid seal sorry for the ping, about your post in #beta-feedback there is a bug with the constellation menu right now we'll have it fixed in the next update.
no, but they may not have updated?
Oh there was an update. All this chaos 😂
||What’s its icon/animation like?|| @ gnocci
No constellations so can’t try to join them
This sound in wasteland is getting annoying
Was hoping it might happen automatically
@austere merlin ||about to pass out it looks cute||
||Daww||
Umm the wasteland is different
Yea there a ||boat||
@uncut relic might be a bug due to the weird state of seasonal content on beta. it's okay for right now.
And a new building
Alrighty
Waow new season is coming

again if something isn't working right, please submit bug reports. While I can usually identify and explain the wonkiness, I'm not the one who can fix it so your reports are very important.
Lol why am I on here when there’s new content?
Is ktjn sneeping properly tho be healthy

I promise I get plenty of proper sneep, even though it seems like i live on discord 24/7
thank you for making sure i'm okay 
oh cool... when I unlock a spirit and sit down at the elder spirit stone, the whole constellation is accessible and I can call em down. Very user friendly. I like this new touch.
I’ve sometimes wondered how much sleep you’re getting when it looks like your account is online in the middle of the night 
I use my personal discord account, and i just leave it on all the time. I'm not always working if you see me online.
Yeah everytime i come here i see you online 🥺 dats why take plenty of care and thanks for everything you do for us along with all the elders and shepherds and whoever helps to make this server better

Wait you guys remember the random floating light ball in isle from lightseekers? did it always have a collision box because i SLAMMEd into it ahahhaha
Game has doubled in size since the previous build. Thoughts? 
Yea, it’s always had a collision box.
Probably most of the ||new area, it’s quite large||
My only thoughts are, “woah, I gotta delete a bunch of photos.”
oh ok hdfgjkf g either way i think that's funny
I mean new content means more memory space taken
BTW, changes to ODR made it so the new level packs don't replace the old ones
In other words, bug 
What did we expect we keep asking new contents
I don't think the light orb had collision before??
||THE SPIRITS ARE POPPING UP||
What???
||IN THE NEW AREA HH||
they pop up ||after you get the red light||
same
my constellation is not able to see friends now
It broken rn
I keep crashing every time I try to see the friends constellation
well at least there's no crabs
Aha actually-
no way
They look super cool. But I doubt I'll ever wear the cosmetics lol
