pulsar edge
That would be grammatically incorrect
vapid briar
Sky was in development for 7 years. in beta and limited live for nearly 2 before official global launch (on iOS) in july 2019.
latent palm
Well sky: Children of Light is also grammatically incorrect
But guess what
They released it with that name
vapid briar
children of the light
latent palm
But Android actually used to be called children of light
vapid briar
Light awaits is grammatically correct in english.
pulsar edge
Even if it was “children of light” that’s still grammatically correct
worn field
i would ask if there'll ever be a sky 1.0 but ig the answer to that is "wait and see"
lunar zealot
Light Awaits. Don’t use that app anymore but it’s still on my phone for sentimental value. 
empty inlet
this sentence is grammatically correct, but
pulsar edge
Lmao I like that reference
Changes big enough to warrant a 1.0 release probably won’t come till after sky releases on all/almost all platforms
vapid briar
We've discussed what 1.0.0 would look like and if/when we'll make that shift, but that's about all I can say on it.
bold moat
interesting 
latent palm
Watch the only category on SRC will be Any% Glitchless when 1.0.0 comes out
lunar zealot
That’s exciting though! 
vapid briar
it's purely at the team's discretion. symbolically, we could change it to 1.0.0 tomorrow or save it for a milestone, or never make that switch at all.
empty inlet

spark lance
Well sky: Children of Light is also grammatically incorrect
@latent palm
It's how you interoperate it, that makes it grammatically incorrect.
"Children of light." Is no different than saying "Children of Kevin."
I know i'm late to the conversation i just wanted to throw my cents in.
pulsar edge
I’d say a major shift of the core gameplay loop is a thing that would generally warrant a change in the first number, but that could just be my thinking.
vapid briar
The good thing about grammar is the rules are trash and can always be broken (at least in english)
latent palm
Its not proper tho
pulsar edge
“Children of hell” is grammatically correct
spark lance
a proper word?
latent palm
Kevin is proper
lunar zealot
Ktjn i felt that 
spark lance
Light is a proper word-
pulsar edge
So therefore “children of light” is too
vapid briar
proper nouns are subjective
latent palm
but not a proper noun-
spark lance
What bounces around from a bulb when you flip a switch?
icy falcon
Kevin the krill?
spark lance
Light-
latent palm
^XD
latent palm
Not a proper-
pulsar edge
It’s really your outlook. Is light a thing or an idea
icy falcon
Children of Krill or Children of the Krill?
latent palm
Bruhhjhh
vapid briar
also capitalizing words for titles of things breaks the typical conventions of grammar rules.
spark lance
You can't say Light isn't a proper word xD
pulsar edge
If light is a thing, then it doesn’t make sense. If light is an idea, then it does
latent palm
Not really ktjn
latent palm
If you think about it
spark lance
you're taking it too literal.
Instead of expanding your thoughts to a different concept
worn field
perhaps sometimes we think too hard
latent palm
The first and last word of a title is capitalized and any important word in between is too
icy falcon
i prefer to think light
normal seal
does it really matter? 
latent palm
So Light and Sky have to be capitalized no matter if they are proper or not
spark lance
It kinda does?
pulsar edge
No, but it’s an interesting discussion
spark lance
^
normal seal
it is interesting to watch
pulsar edge
It’s nice to have an intelligent debate on anything (from science to grammar to memes) that isn’t two people screaming at one another
vapid briar
right, but there's no need to capitalize of and the because they are articles or prepositions
latent palm
^
pulsar edge
yep!
latent palm
Thank you I couldn't get those words out
lunar zealot
Children of the Light is also visually pleasing, at least to me
vapid briar
I'll reiterate
the rules are trash and can always be broken (at least in english)
empty inlet
saved the quote
vapid briar
and half of what you're taught in primary school isn't accurate anyway
pulsar edge
right, but there's no need to capitalize of and the because...
Specifically, a preposition and an article, respectively
latent palm
Whoever says pop instead of soda in here get out
kindred fossil
pulsar edge
Lol dark
bold moat
Many people are lurking around here, enjoying the very interesting conversation
vapid briar
anyway, I'd recommend looking up technical writing style guides if you're that keen on dissecting word choice.
I say pop and I'm not going anywhere 
pulsar edge
For someone who doesn’t like writing, I do that surprisingly often tbh
latent palm
Whoever says neether instead of niether get out
vapid briar
don't be a pedant, it just makes you look like a jerk.
latent palm
Jk xD
cold hazel
because... its soda pop
pop
bold moat
I say neither, what do i do now 
kindred fossil

tame shuttle
I say neither, what do i do now
@bold moat same
latent palm
Lmao
kindred fossil
no
bold moat
pulsar edge
Whoever says neether instead of niether get out
I say both of those interchangeably because I’m a jerk who doesn’t want to fight on regional pronunciation differences
vapid briar
stop telling people to leave just because they have a difference of opinion. It's incredibly rude and unproductive.
vapid briar
There are a TON of folks whose first language isn't english and there's zero reason to shame word choice so long as the message is clear, and if it's not clear, ask questions to better understand.

@latent palm you should remove that link, it shows your email

A lot of times i did that method, flying in the first part too, but one I did Eden normally, it totally refreshed my eyes

Yeah but personal info isn't allowed in this discord
latent palm

pulsar edge
You should make a brand channel so it doesn’t display an email
latent palm
No that was in the video
vapid briar
Still, it shouldn't be linked here or broadcast openly.
vapid briar
The video contents are fine, that's a known glitch, you should prolly catch up with Rat who is a seasoned oob expert.
latent palm
Imma unlisted for now
vapid briar
It's for your own safety, and you're welcome to post whatever you want on your youtube channel, but because it does contain personal info, please delete the link here.

Of course! I’d love to. As my nickname says
latent palm
Ktjn you know about the flying downwards problem?
vapid briar
#report-a-live-bug #beta-bugs-ios #beta-bugs-android or #live-feedback #beta-feedback are excellent avenues for reporting "problems"
bold moat
Also, I've seen that piggyback hasn't been fixed for a while, That it doesn't carry other loading screens, is it because it's hard to implement or it's not that much of a priority currently?
latent palm
Good idea ktjn
vapid briar
We know about piggyback breaking on load screens, but fixing it has been an ongoing issue.
latent palm
Rocket piggy?
Oh wait
Oh I know that one nvm lol
Talking about glitches and asking developers if they know what they are is fun
But I don't get why you can't fix them when you know about but I guess a moth isn't gonna try it...
Pls don't take offense
empty inlet
they're not talking about rocket piggy
bold moat
I'll take a quote from one of Ktjn messages, They know about OOBs, and how to enter them, but they know OOBing is a big part of the Sky Community and will try to preserve the most popular ones
TGC has a very small, special subsect of the larger community that is incredibly fond of going out of bounds and we want to preserve those places, but not entirely at the expense of our design plans.
- Ktjn
bold moat
Preserving some OOBs might also to preserve some methods on how to enter them
latent palm
Preserving speedruns

on another note: there will always be more bugs than tgc can ever possibly fix. they have to prioritise

They just move objects and boom
They can add hitboxes and boom oob fixed

Not every bug is fixed by the same solution..
They could be using the most complex coding system, and we'll never know

there's actually like 25k android beta testers. about 7k for iOS but that's because Apple has a hard cap on the number of testers allowed through testflight.
pulsar edge
Cause iOS be like that
vapid briar
There's a very handy pinned message about why and when we open tester slots.
spark lance
And you clean some old beta users' slots sometimes, right?

But wait

Is that just Google being stupid?

Here’s how it went:
Cribley: this isn’t grammatically correct

bold moat
General chat is too much chaos for me though .0.
latent palm
You mean the plant in the forest temple?
worn field
if there's a glitch fixed in beta that isn't fixed in live, it's likely because it wasn't fixed before the cutoff date tgc set themselves for pushing to live
it'll be fixed in a later update instead
oblique stump
Oh, fair enough
pulsar edge
Or that it isn’t ready to be pushed
latent palm
Yea that was never fixed
pulsar edge
For example the beta Shepherd and moth system
pulsar edge
It’s not ready for live, so it wasn’t put to live
oblique stump
Seems fine on beta tho
latent palm
Oooo moth system?
oblique stump
Then again, there's more spots where it can happen
pulsar edge
Speaking of the shepherd and moth system, what does it look like from the moth side? Is there anything that explains the shepherd emblem?
crisp plinth
A mysterious ranking of how friendly you are
pulsar edge
That’s all the information we have on it basically
pulsar edge
If you’re a shepherd, there’s an emblem that appears on new players
latent palm
The friendlier you are
pulsar edge
If you’re a new player, the shepherd emblem appears on shepherds
latent palm
The higher on the rank you get
pulsar edge
But does the game explain the meaning of the shepherd emblem to the moths?
crisp plinth
I think an icon just is above sphere heads

The friendlier you are
The higher on the rank you get

crisp plinth
So yeah still needs fine tuning
pulsar edge
Everything currently in beta, excluding bugfixes, seems to be on hold
crisp plinth
But tbh
Idk how friendliness is measured, but I don't think everyone who is a shepherd wants to be guiding moths all the time
worn field
i'm dubious of any supposed way of measuring friendliness with an algorithm or whatever
pulsar edge
Friendliness is just based on how often you play, and probably also sending hearts and upgrading friendships
Maybe a few other things
If you miss a day of playing, I’m told you drop from being a shepherd
But not by that far
hidden quarry
bruh
crisp plinth
I don't want to have to not play sky just to stop being swarmed by moths when I'm not in the guiding mood

Is it OK or better to post beta feedback & bugs thru the share menu when you take an iOS screenshot. Just wondering if that a good way to post for TGC's purposes? It says it goes thru apple but do they get the same device info and all that when you post directly thru the beta app as opposed to filling out those kinda pain in the butt bug reports here in discord?
lusty light
@analog citrus yes when you send feedback and bug reports through TestFlight or the in game menu the team is sent your device data and app version
analog citrus
Thanks... thats a WAY easier way to post in my opinion and I just found out that its a thing

the preferred route is through discord, it gets back to the team much faster.
