OK OKOK

Nah, we'll totally lie about it to keep you safe.
sly kestrel
Spirits made mistakes so they sent kids to do their dirty work for them
drifting copper
the kids then get beaned instead of completing their destiny
because dying for the sake of some big boi spirits is boriNg

i’m still hung up on the king. what’s his deal

He's nonexistent, that's his deal.
drifting copper
he’s probably dead

The king does as he pleases.

Believe it or not, reika actually told us a lot of stuff about lore and while she was doing it, some people were getting off topic and doing 1 word messages so her talk about it kinda got buried
But since I’m a lore nerd
I wrote it down....
drifting copper
good thing you did
sly kestrel
“In my mind, the mountain is kind of like a dormant volcano, or made in abyss if anyone else is also a fan
And the whole tower actually goes all the way down, it’s a bit dark but what you see above the clouds is actually just the tip and it’s where all the riches live
And the areas under the clouds where the lights don’t reach
Mainly the inner walls are kind of like the slum, although there isn’t many meshes to show that because it’s an expensive level HAHA
But yes, it’s outworldy pretty and extravagant
But it’s also supposed to be hiding the slums too
Since valley is the peak of civilization
There’s also a side to it that’s also not pretty
And the tip of the tower that you see is like the top, so scholars”.....(she didn’t finish her sentence)
“Since technology and knowledge is so valued, the top 2 points are the twin towers (in her mind)
And one is with a clock, the other with the celestial clock
Andddd the scholars that reside there uses the armillary sphere to study the night sky!
I THINK”
Yes she literally said “I think”
While she was saying this there were messages popping everywhere so it was hard to keep track what she was talking about
sly kestrel
There were other stuff but I got lazy
exotic shuttle
helpful for backreaders
sly kestrel
And I forgot them
exotic shuttle
fair 
humble barn
iirc it's the first time she visited this channel so you can do channel search
exotic shuttle
by the way, putting “> “ at the beginning of a line makes it a quote. might make it more clear that it’s her words
good point Mochi
sly kestrel
Well like I said, messages popping everywhere it was hard to enough to keep up what she was saying
And she typed in a lot of spaces so
I might’ve got the wrong view on some points
humble barn
the social hierarchy she implied reminded me of the Hindu caste system, in which priests and teachers were ranked highest, even higher than royals

spent an hour and a half in this chat and now im going galaxy brain but its time to sleeb so i can't share my theories hh
hushed steeple
What is the main story of the game? What events happened before the children went to the world to save stars and spirits? Please, if you have that official information, I would really appreciate it, I want to make a comic fan. 
gusty cradle
crimson grove
You should start by looking at the pins! There’s a lot of official information there and a collection about fan made theories
The story of the game is presented subtly and open to interpretation and honestly there’s a lot of it for anyone to summarize it to you ^^
hushed steeple
thanks very much! @crimson grove

Was just thinking about what was being said about the formation of diamonds and catching of butterflies light in the pots.
It seems obvious now I see it, but just haven't paid much attention to the temple doors before, but possibly to form a diamond, you need 4 "lights" which are carried on the boats, interestingly here in forest, 2 come from one direction and are blue, and the other 2, yellow and come from another.
I'm wondering if this is merely a pattern, or symbolic, firstly of the light captured being different, depending on where it was captured, and possibly containing different properties when combined into a diamond, so could we have different powers (such as raising lifts vs powering switches) dependent on the configuration of the sources of the lights going into form the diamond?
Equally, in Isle, we have 2 yellow lights added to a boat to symbolically make it fly, and light the "king" symbol at the top of the Isle temple door.
crimson grove
@bright charm this picture from the pins should help! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf9836e9d1c5200018df596/1582059206452-QBQR52L1HZKKPOWK663S/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kE98hFfXzAH0PD2XPPvas-N7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z4YTzHvnKhyp6Da-NYroOW3ZGjoBKy3azqku80C789l0ouw-8l5B_J38LMU7OZFvYeu9JkFyvkmpuYaFXQ21RqmDqaUnAo9O_J7erwb_yziKA/058b_Sky.jpg?format=750w
sly kestrel
I believe this will help too
cobalt palm
Ooh it's a giant diamond press!
scarlet wren
i assume that means the thing in wasteland is also a diamond press, just broken down
cobalt palm
- raw material goes in
- start press stamps raw material into artificial star
- artificial star is embedded with energy inside the chamber
- finished artificial stars come out of the towers
Sweet sweet lore
So diamond = artificial star
Energy ?= stored light/butterflies in pots
As "energy" is also the term used in the tips for each wing flap / pizza alice
cobalt palm
Ah, so wasteland may have been a huge forest at one point
And, like IRL forests that have had mass deforestation, the ground becomes marshy and barren
Is wasteland the way it is due to over industrialization and deforestation, the broken pipes we see carried either artificial stars, or "energy" or raw materials
Now they spew sludge that is broken down raw material trees (like unprocessed wood left to rot)
sly kestrel
Well either that or wasteland received raw material from other realms
cobalt palm
... Dark timeline lore: graveyard is full of bones as the raw materials in wasteland were the tuna king

Omg I just realized- eden’s power crystal is red because it’s got too much energy, like when you overheat something! When you warm a power crystal they go from blue to gold, i bet if you had a stronger source it’d turn red
exotic shuttle
mmmm they microwaved their ramen noodles for toooo long
lost hull
Interesting. And when you touch one of those small red crystals, they completely drain your energy
sly kestrel
The diamond used to be blue actually

Like the elevator one?
exotic shuttle
that was back in beta
it was brighter blue than the elevator i think
here’s one of Seraph’s Mirian’s pics
sly kestrel
I’m pretty she has more pics that u would be interested in
Idk if it was seraph that posted it but if u go closer, u will see bodies floating around it, including the elders 👀
exotic shuttle
yep

I posted it but I stole it from Mirian

I swear that funnel shaped area is still in game, waiting, watching...
When was a 10-star gate used in-game?

imagine if our eden was blue
thatd be so weird. and tgcs all for colour theory that matches mood and stuff too
sly kestrel
Heyyy what happened to the pinned message with the new tomcepts?
Did someone remove them? 🥺
warped reef
Tomcepts was too much power to have
wind bone
Discord is stupid because I most definitely pinned it twice
hushed steeple
Can still view them on the site: https://www.tomzhao.com/sky1
wind bone
The first time was original and the second time was this morning because it got unpinned somehow
This is the third time I’m pinning this
warped reef
Oof. Discord 
sly kestrel
Hmm I wonder how it magically got unpinned
wind bone
It’s something wrong with discord because it did the opposite too recently
I unpinned a message and it got pinned again according to others
sly kestrel
Well, hopefully it will stay this time
Also I learned something new from the concepts
I feel a little dumb for not knowing this
But the vault is actually inside the huge mountain
warped reef
Wait it is
sly kestrel
While everything was destroyed, ruined and corrupted, the scholars and leftover spirits built a vault inside the mountain filled with memories and knowledge to pass down for anyone to understand the past. Possiblyyyy they knew the skykids were coming so maybe that was the reason why they built the vault, to pass it down to them
But anyways, the lanterns are actually filled with memories and can be projected
jovial nacelle
But aren’t sky kids basically stars that go supernova and become the nebulae cloud and make new stars which is the same as giving light to the statues-
sly kestrel
u have a really interesting way of looking at things
jovial nacelle
Learnt it after getting a 79% on a science lesson.
And thanks
Wait a second.
I just realised.
Each second passes would be A year for sky kids-
Since, we are stars. And as we age it will take billions of years for us to go supernova
Which is eee.
Eden*
sly kestrel
Like I said, u have a very interesting way of looking at things
jovial nacelle
And like I said, thank you.
sly kestrel
First of all, where did u get the idea that we are stars from our real life interpretation of stars
jovial nacelle
Like I said, getting a 79% on a science lesson.
sly kestrel
Games and real life are very different
jovial nacelle
wind bone
Please be respectful toward each other! Even though you might not have the same head cannons doesn’t mean you need to put the person down
sly kestrel
Wait wait wait what is the process of a Star
sly kestrel
well even if it seemed like I was putting up down, I’m sorrryyyy I didn’t mean to put it like that
wind bone
It was the like I said part it looked a little hostile fjsksk
sly kestrel
If I was ever gonna do that, it won’t be in this server
jovial nacelle
Hhh-
sly kestrel
This server takes the nice side of me
But anyways, this is one of the concepts that helped me theory
sly kestrel
Well now I can’t find it
Hold up
Ok here it is, the text is small but it’s basically saying that the mountain is filled with memories of the spirits and I thought maybe they are simply just echoes of spirits like they said, but then I saw that it was labeled “library” and I immediately thought of vault. With enough speculation and over an hour of procrastinating my homework I can finally say it is referring to vault
sly kestrel
And I said everything earlier already but I’ll say it again
After the disaster of eden, the spirits probably knew that skykids were going to be sent down years later so they built a vault filled with memories and based on the concepts and the telekinesis spirit memory, u can see that the lanterns everywhere are like holographic projectors and this is what stored knowledge. And even if they didn’t know about skykids, they wanted to build a vault to pass on memories and knowledge of the past
And I say “knowledge” too because those lanterns don’t just hold memories, in a livestream when the belonging season was on and the new vault area was introduced, reika said there was forbidden knowledge in there so vault held lots of important information and it makes sense that they would because their civilization is all destroyed and they are almost extinct, mine as well pass everything on
Also, it was hinted somewhere that the devs tried to make it look unrealistic or like a dream, ughhh I forgot what they said but after that he was like “maybe it was all just a memory”
And now, it finally makes sense to me
spring blaze
probably been mentioned before but i now realized the dadm plants looks a lot like venus flytaps
flytraps*
sly kestrel
U see that ball in the the middle? That’s actually based on another real life plant and it looks just like it, I completely forgot what it is called though
spring blaze
oop
icy pewter
carnivorous plants were a reference for the dark plants yeah!! 😄
spring blaze
booyah
icy pewter
venus flytraps along with i think the sundew plant..?
might be another i am not remembering
warped reef
Hmm what were the earlier ones based off of then? They looked really different in early beta / lim live
sly kestrel
Pines I have a question
....how are u able to summon reika if u have no special role 👀
scarlet wren
the fact that it's carnivorous plants makes me go 👀👀
warped reef
TGC magic, Jay
sly kestrel
I want magic 😔
spring blaze
i mean it would make sense that the dark plants are carnovorous since we see that they’re pretty much capturing light creatures
sly kestrel
“They will try to take your light”
icy pewter
Oh we work together Jay!
spring blaze
im sobbing we have so much concept arts
sly kestrel
Seems like u weren’t here yesterday
spring blaze
i wasnt
sly kestrel
U missed reika and ash
spring blaze
jay.. pines IS ash
icy pewter
I'm not sure what the stones were based off of because that was before my time BUT tom zhao might have some stuff, or Jose Luis Vaello Bertol as well, Jose did some stuff for a lot of the game mechanics
warped reef
Time to unveil the secrets
scarlet wren
those concepts make me go
icy pewter
yes this is my casual non-work related account 😂

i’ve been incredibly busy recently and i hate that. plus ive had the same glasses prescription for 2 years so my eyes hurts more now :,/

he has these sketchbooks just filled with the coolest things

goals,
sly kestrel
u should.....show us a few pics 👀
spring blaze
meanwhile i have to sketch out an entire block and like think for 15 mins before i can actually get something
icy pewter
he's shared some before in livestreams!
spring blaze
ya like the gnomon ones
warped reef
Those past live streams needs to make it to YT so we can harvest the good lore there
icy pewter
https://imgur.com/a/k4mHEhz i thiiink the pen and ink drawings in here are from yui
now multiply those images by like 7+ sketchbooks worth
sly kestrel
I honestly forgot every livestream I watched
warped reef
Yui is a madman
frigid crown
then pen and copic marker drawings are all yui!
exotic shuttle
whoa yui made those 
spring blaze
i already finished yui’s bit from the gnomon talk so here
scarlet wren
the gnomon talk was so good dfhgkjfdgk
spring blaze
i havent been able to finish the albums so :,))
i still need to work on aaron’s and trevs
its the first livestream ive watched from start to finish
sly kestrel
Wow this was back when the ark was still a thing
icy pewter
yeah the talk was amazing
sly kestrel
Wait what
U should watch the elder livestream, that one was pretty cool
spring blaze
was looking forward to the pax live stream
icy pewter
Cecil has done some really nice stuff as well, but i dont think a lot of his stuff has been made public yet
yeah it was a really hard decision 
exotic shuttle
yet
spring blaze
but yknow its cancelled but im excited to see how they’ll bring out the pax stuff outside of pax
icy pewter
but i think they intend to showcase what they had planned for the panel in other ways!
spring blaze
i watched a bit of the elder livestream. i did it so i can see if they answered my question lol and they did
warped reef
They said they would! So excited 
scarlet wren
I'm excited to what's in store 👀👀
spring blaze
lol maybe theyll make their own panel in the office and livestream it
though that’d be a lot of space
watching aaron’s part of the gnomon talk was super interesting
exotic shuttle
i guess maybe they'll use their regular live stream spot on the couch
spring blaze
was looking up terms and i was confused the entire time but yknow if someone asked my what ramping is id probably be able to tell them LOL
sly kestrel
I have a question..
spring blaze
if u ask me what ramping is-
sly kestrel
Does anyone have a clear copy of these pictures, it is incredibly hard to read since it is a line format and......I like the drawings
spring blaze
whered u get that
spring blaze
its like putting a compressed colour overlay over a texture overlay to give it colour
sly kestrel
And one of the reasons why I wanna see the zoom in of it is because it shows the symbol around the portal of the office
And I always wanted to know what it is
spring blaze
since the colour overlays gonna be the same the entire width it can be cut down or something like that
as long its the same height or whatever with the texture or mesh..????
exotic shuttle
ramping is a technique they use to give textures to terrain without actually saving the whole texture as a big texture file. it is basically like a compression technique.
spring blaze
was i right or wrong
exotic shuttle
u right ithink
spring blaze
lol that’s awesome
exotic shuttle
based on my memory of gnomon
sly kestrel
Oh I was just kidding I knew what ramping was
spring blaze
its like a cheat sorta? so that you can get the colour u want without painting the entire thing
exotic shuttle
spring blaze
which is why its hard to get nice looking capes
exotic shuttle
tgc is all about that efficiency
spring blaze
they painted each triangle on the beta capes and it was resource intensive
from what i remember cus aaron answered from the questions time
we ask like “triangles when” but for tgc yknow
also i like how he used pines sunny cave as an example of terrain planning and development
i didnt even recognize it from the first few pics. i thought it was in prairie
scarlet wren
hmm lets see if this is readable
spring blaze
it is
exotic shuttle
i can read it!
scarlet wren
oHHH
icy pewter
fun fact: there used to be 4 diff designs for boats, you can still see 3 of them in sky today
maybe all 4?
will have to check
spring blaze
i notcied diffeent boat designs but its.. been so long
yall my adventuring soul is weakening 
sly kestrel
Anyone have a spare picture of the office water? With the megabird symbol
icy pewter
each level has their own boat design-so the boats in Prairie dont look like the boats in Rain!
er forest
warped reef
Oh true! They do all look different
spring blaze
hhh lemme se
sly kestrel
I saw a boat in wasteland that had a triangle symbol on it
scarlet wren
oh hello this time line is very interesting
sly kestrel
U got the second half?
sly kestrel
Woah woah woah
icy pewter
ok 3 of the designs are visible
sly kestrel
Where did u get that last picture
spring blaze
uh
spring blaze
literally the first area of forest
icy pewter
theyre off to the side 😄
sly kestrel
oohhh
spring blaze
on the left where the shiver spirit is
exotic shuttle
oh it's really dark there
spring blaze
very easy to miss! i freaked out when i found them LOL
sly kestrel
I can’t believe I never bothered to firework staff that area
spring blaze
i gave up on my project to pic and album the realms theyre massive
sly kestrel
I always skipped it
karmic ledge
icy pewter
had to hop on the ipad
spring blaze
icy pewter
theres ginsy's boats!
sly kestrel
Those actually complete the diamond theory
Thank you for the screenshots
spring blaze
and that one is in the second area, with some wax and tunnels
humble barn
that prairie one i think is the most well preserved boat we can find in the world
scarlet wren
i suppose i'm a megabird believer now
sly kestrel
The paddles at the bottom, prairie had those and the pots were shipped to forest so they can provide the energy for the artificial stars, and even though the texture is a little rough, it shows the pots delivered at the first
icy pewter
shira might have a photo of all 4 of the boat designs in their album
sly kestrel
Wait

for isle of dawn

sly kestrel
Do u have screenshots of all 20 of the timeline pictures?
chrome aurora
Was Megabird the one speaking in the beginning??
humble barn
that timeline suggests the narrator of opening cutscene is indeed megabird
yes I believe so
now i have a proof from tomcepts
scarlet wren
when you download this image, open it in a browser then download so you don't lose quality^^
sly kestrel
Wait.......how do u do that exactly? 😐
scarlet wren
hmm i guess that's easier on desktop
exotic shuttle
u can prolly mess with discord settings
sly kestrel
Yea....I’m on my tiny iPhone 7 right now
scarlet wren
try this
spring blaze
boat in eden
scarlet wren
op wait that link was lonngggg
sly kestrel
But hey pigeon imma download ur high quality version of it
icy pewter
which is the same as the prairie boat design
spring blaze
thats the prarie boat design?
cerulean remnant
boaaaat
spring blaze
i dont think i saw it there like ever unless im blind
sly kestrel
Idk what u did but when I zoom in, it is fairly readable, thank you Grannyyy
icy pewter
the eden boats been in there for a few months at this point iirc, i remember seeing it near global launch
scarlet wren
np^^
cerulean remnant
(sorry to double back on the megabird but today i learned what the design outside of the ||office|| portal is)
spring blaze
ah so a lot of tge eden stuff is pretty recent huh
the boats, the swords and shields
in the gnomon talk trevor also talked about the statues head in stormlock falling off
icy pewter
i didnt play beta so im not sure if it was there pre-global launch u__u
scarlet wren
(i think the prince here later becomes the king according to the timeline)
spring blaze
lol thats the office water alright
warped reef
Hmm i don't think it was there in lim live at least Pines, Storm back then really didn´t have too much lore to it other than "survive and grow stronger" kinda
spring blaze
adding a concept art, literally, ingame
humble barn
before reading the timeline I always thought the prince was a son of the (later-corrupted) king
exotic shuttle
also it feels like sometimes they were talked about like they were seperate.
sly kestrel
Yea I’m the timeline, the prince became king later
chrome aurora
I am a tiny bit disheartened at how little of the lore got into the game
Because the lore is so cool
exotic shuttle
like i thought in early plans the prince helped you against the king in eden
sly kestrel
I jus read everything and even though dark stone is no longer a thing and our current sky story is different, I see a lot of similarities
Overall, best backstory ever 😍
scarlet wren
yeah!
humble barn
oh i rember that joshur! does that mean they were separate in another storyline
sly kestrel
And seeing the office water I always thought there was a guy on a boat and I was right, it was the prince
exotic shuttle
that's what i'm thinking Mochi
spring blaze
its sad that the isle elder kinda just. retired cus theres no one to guide anymore
imagine his joy seeing so many new skykids to guide to their journeys
sly kestrel
They turned from the megabird to artificial light and dark stone
chrome aurora
Is more gonna be added to the games story later?
exotic shuttle
potentially
sly kestrel
But yes the story changed a lot because I do remember a concept where the prince and king were 2 separate beings
spring blaze
also im a lil upset my ark theory was pretty much completely wrong lmao but at least we know its really been an explosion
retired grandpa happy to see new grandkids, more on pg 9
chrome aurora
The concept art doesn’t really explain the red diamond tho so the ark theory could still hold merit for the current game
Potentially
spring blaze
eh true
scarlet wren
Yeah I can see that parts have been moved around
the ark doesn't seem to be in the game, since now it's a castle in eden that's floating up there
sly kestrel
Though I am confused about something
Reika said they removed the eden elder bc there was nothing to save......but the king was a corrupt being that was trusted by the megabird and after his corruption and mistakes he was stuck in the storm. So why couldn’t we have a concept where we save the king and his corrupt mind
scarlet wren
he
spring blaze
yeah the ark concepts completely scrapped, so my theory was never true to begin with present-wise
exotic shuttle
mebe the power diamond was meant as a power source to make the castle fly away, like the castle is the ark idk
scarlet wren
oops i hit enter too soon
exotic shuttle
idk much about ark theory tho
spring blaze
he
exotic shuttle
he
chrome aurora
he
spring blaze
theres nothing left to save because the king’s beyond saving
exotic shuttle
that;s what i think too
spring blaze
if the king trully became the storm, then hes not really a material being anymore
exotic shuttle
just a shadow
sly kestrel
No in the concept he was stuck in the storm
spring blaze
because hes still a significant character for the lore im assuming
sly kestrel
The storm that he basically created
And there’s a concept of us in the storm where the king is up top throwing spears at us and dark creatures making dark rain
spring blaze
i remember reading that the king became the storm
sly kestrel
Wow they love changing the story
exotic shuttle
relentless iteration TM
spring blaze
also since we have this timeline its changed a lot because we thought as the king and prince as separate people because in jem’s pictures theyre kinda like two separate people
those were the only concept arts we really relied on if im being honest so it kinda was just accepted
sly kestrel
King becomes stuck in the storm
King becomes the storm
King is not the storm
We have now removed the king
scarlet wren
have we ever seen the prince and the king in the same room tho
sly kestrel
I honestly won’t be surprised if they somehow bring him back
exotic shuttle
hmm
humble barn
maybe the prince helping skykids was a good part of the king
sly kestrel
Well that concept backstory that we all read, it was a reallllyyyyy old concept
humble barn
like gooooo before he comes baaaaack
chrome aurora
It could have been a variation of the light and dark kids hugging bit in the ending
Where we reach into the King’s darkness to find the light of the Prince
sly kestrel
I think u were right
The king is beyond saving, and I don’t think there was any way to change his heart after all that darkness and corruption
scarlet wren
it's nice having this though because at least we might be able to fill a few holes
spring blaze
how recent is this time line
drifting copper
oop i was mostly thinking the prince is all the good that’s left of him
chrome aurora
Is dark stone not a thing?
drifting copper
dark stone was a thing
chrome aurora
What is the glowy stone stuff then? :O
spring blaze
what glowy stone
sly kestrel
What glowy stone stuff?
spring blaze
the diamonds?
chrome aurora
Ye
drifting copper
power diamonds
jovial nacelle
drifting copper
like real different
spring blaze
im trying to find where i found that the king became the storm-
sly kestrel
Oh ginsy u missed yesterday
spring blaze
yeah i fid
sly kestrel
We got something new on the power diamond theory
drifting copper
oh you did?
sly kestrel
spring blaze
whats it
jovial nacelle
Diamonds are used for operating things thanks to the blacksmith which was the forest elder, some light were rare and kept knowledge so think which made the vault.
sly kestrel
Ahhh I forgot who had the clear quality image?
humble barn
its from tomcepts
spring blaze
its in tom’s website right
chrome aurora
If the raw material isnt dark stone anymore then what is it??
spring blaze
idk. wood
chrome aurora
Im confused :(
spring blaze
wym raw material
drifting copper
it’s wood
sly kestrel
Well someone translated it earlier I believe it said, raw material goes in, diamond press turns it into artificial star, and then it gets combined with energy inside the factory and made into artificial Star

???WOOD???
drifting copper
couGh “raw”
sly kestrel
Yes wood, it showed it on the door mural and most likely that was what the raw material was
humble barn
light was like electricity
sly kestrel
The trees
drifting copper
and also the butterflies
jovial nacelle
chrome aurora
But it made stone grindy noises when the forest elder was building
sly kestrel
The pots from prairie shipped to forest combined with raw material from trees to make the power diamonds
That’s the summary of the forest door mural
chrome aurora
Wood
Shouldn’t do that?
humble barn
they were grinding butterflies
chrome aurora
...What kinda trees are those
scarlet wren
oh i just saw a krill room concept :o
sly kestrel
Oh yea that too
The wasteland area is a broken diamond press
scarlet wren
how's this for a concept krill?
spring blaze
sly kestrel
Yupp
spring blaze
oo there we go. clearer
chrome aurora
Scary
icy pewter
wow that concept krill is terrifying
exotic shuttle
ikr
sly kestrel
It was bigger and most likely a more advanced diamond press than the forest
warped reef
if that made it into game im sure a lot fo us would still be terrified haha
icy pewter
like a wraith 
humble barn
sly kestrel
Hey u can read it off ginsy’s picture, it’s clear quality now
humble barn

drifting copper
i’m trying to remember what the name of something is but i just don’t knoW
sly kestrel
Oh that’s an older concept
spring blaze
wait these are in the 8 plsyer puzzle
sly kestrel
Heyy I knew it looked familiar
sly kestrel
Ever since we got the tomcepts
drifting copper
why do they look like turrets
sly kestrel
We’ve all become lore nerds
exotic shuttle
yep
drifting copper

exotic shuttle
well some were lore nerds b4 too
sly kestrel
Well
humble barn
we were nerds since before
sly kestrel
More than usual
spring blaze
exotic shuttle
ye more than usual
drifting copper
did anyone theorise that wasteland was a place full of water before this?
sly kestrel
That was when the wasteland towers were like watch towers
humble barn
eel
scarlet wren
oh speaking of GW
drifting copper
in the background of broken temple it reminded me of this thing i learned in history class shdhdbdbdb
spring blaze
ah here he is
sly kestrel
SO many MESSAGES
icy pewter
oh good eye ginsy
humble barn
should we call him moth tech now *moss
sly kestrel
Yea the turrets at wasteland were scary
sly kestrel
I’m kinda glad they removed them but then again it would be fun if we avoided turrets and dark creatures and stuff
Making wasteland exiting
Ya kno
drifting copper
and dark octopi
chrome aurora
I think the concept art areas would be awesome
drifting copper
yeah
humble barn
krill are like turrets now
sly kestrel
Sometimes the concept arts seem so much better then the current story but I understand because some of the stuff would cost a LOTTT of money to make
exotic shuttle
also grass is greener on the other side
chrome aurora
In a perfect world...
exotic shuttle
quick write it down
drifting copper
i t h innk
drifting copper
like you know the background of wasteland’s broken temple there’s a wall looking thing
it looks like a d am
spring blaze
yeah like the lighting in eden costed moneeyy for specific places—
exotic shuttle
oh a dam
drifting copper
and since we got all that goopy toxic water i was like oh hey d a m
chrome aurora
The current story feels unfinished
sly kestrel
They are working on it
drifting copper
cause we gotta fill in the pieces
exotic shuttle

sly kestrel
.....hopefully
drifting copper
no it’s like venice city
exotic shuttle

ISLE IS FIRST
sly kestrel
Isle is pretty straight forward
jovial nacelle
jovial nacelle
fINe
drifting copper
we can tell what it was
sly kestrel
Maybe that’s why they made 40$ capes
drifting copper
to fund more creation of areas and events
sly kestrel
A game like sky is actually really expensive so i sorta understand why prices are high
exotic shuttle
founders cape is a symbol of your support for tgc if that's what ur talking about
spring blaze
@icy pewter hey this reminds me of your recent insta post!

Giant Fibsh...
sly kestrel
The one thing confirmed
jovial nacelle
Also, nobody going to mind that the colour palettes reminds me of a flan colour.
lone epoch
I’ve always imagine mantas to be relatively thick skinned, almost like leathery rubber.
sly kestrel
Some mantas are flat like flying paper
spring blaze
me: figures out how to save the pics in clear quality
me: ohoho time to spam
lone epoch
Then again, if they were that dense, they’d be too heavy to achieve flight.
chrome aurora
Do you think
Mantas sleep/rest in groups
And skykids come along and play with the resting mantas
humble barn
I saved the entire page
scarlet wren
oh hey on that whale one, it says the dark/non lit parts are "made up of a version of charcoal, similar to ancestor bodies"
drifting copper
oh god
spring blaze
confirmed: elders are made of ash
chrome aurora
Got that ashy smell
drifting copper
is that what they use for the fires
exotic shuttle
wot
icy pewter
😱
chrome aurora
I mean lots of things are flammable in this world
drifting copper
yeah
sly kestrel
Wait wait ginsy how do u make the quality clear for the tomcepts
drifting copper
lone epoch
Mantas have no discernible limbs other than their ”wings”, which begs the question, do they spend their entire lives in the air?
sly kestrel
I need education
drifting copper
i still really like this one lmao
exotic shuttle
i think they always fly
jovial nacelle
@spring blaze Elders are the neutron stars left behind, the final light on their realm which keeps it alive and us sky kids are being offering our light to them to fuel their energy and regain the knowledge to seek our sky kids returning home.
So, they are already radiant-
And inflammable-
spring blaze
elders flammable confirmed
chrome aurora
I love the name ‘Megabird’
like
you’d imagine a primal deity to have a regal sounding name
But no
It’s giant bird
scarlet wren
big bird
drifting copper
giant boi
jovial nacelle
Imagine the megabird was big enough to swallow the whale-
jovial nacelle
sly kestrel
Not rlly a bird
exotic shuttle
big birb
barren path
it probably is
sly kestrel
Well it’s more like an entity of light
barren path
ghfdjjfs
drifting copper
it is big enough to swallow multiple whales
sly kestrel
Not really a physical creature
drifting copper
as they turn into embers ofc
scarlet wren
lone epoch
Certain birds do swallow fish, so I’d say it’s likely if such a being is canonical.
exotic shuttle
it like the force mebbe
chrome aurora
Big Bird from sesame street is scretly Megabird
drifting copper
the force
exotic shuttle
megabird is in our hearts
sly kestrel
Granny got it
spring blaze
megabird: oh im a bird alright
looks like a fish
drifting copper
BIG BIRD KAHSJDB
jovial nacelle
The megabird is a nonexistent but a spiritual being that keeps the light alive, the megabird is our temporary guide, our hope that keeps us alive of returning home when lost. So we have been following the steps of it. One by one.
lone epoch
Big bird looks like... corn.
spring blaze
hmm yes tom this is sky
sly kestrel
Probably got bored
chrome aurora
Or stuff for the home concept
warped reef
Maybe concepts for cosmetics?
sly kestrel
I see it
drifting copper
spring blaze
no thats just flame
drifting copper
this looks insAne
spring blaze
wait they all have flame
chrome aurora
I remember seeing the concept for home on the blog just being an apartment?
sly kestrel
Dark rain would hurt u, dark creatures, wind and debris
warped reef
That elder on top, i need official lore about him... i need him in game 
lone epoch
I get Shadow of the Colossus vibes from this picture.
jovial nacelle
King is angy because someone stole his fettuccine-
lone epoch
||Reminds me a bit of the final boss, that is.||
chrome aurora
I want that Storm in game SO BAD
drifting copper
oop
sly kestrel
Just imagine how money it would cost if tgc made that concept of storm ^
lone epoch
I wonder who that is by the light.
spring blaze
they’re more grave marks than a battle
exotic shuttle
massacre
drifting copper
both
spring blaze
waste elder?
sly kestrel
Oh that’s the warrior they summon
spring blaze
yeah the waste elder
sly kestrel
An old concept had the skykids summon a warrior to defend off the dark creatures while they go off to the vault
And I think that was like a statue alter
exotic shuttle
they had something like that in the game
drifting copper
spring blaze
i headcannon as the elder
sly kestrel
No it was an idea
exotic shuttle
got changed tho
spring blaze
also it really reminds me of the catapult statue
sly kestrel
Never made it to the game, would’ve been cold if they did tho
exotic shuttle
no the wasteland elder cutscee used to be different
chrome aurora
Giant whale,,,
exotic shuttle
u met them at the big gate to the temple
lone epoch
Elder animals would’ve been an interesting concept to see in game.
drifting copper
would explain the cosmic boi in vault
exotic shuttle
instead of inside
sly kestrel
Summoning a dude to fight dark creatures for u, wouldve been amazing
spring blaze
i still think its the elder lol
exotic shuttle
same
drifting copper
imagine walking around with the prince and yall summon a warrior
drifting copper
i know
lone epoch
Magic and light aside, what would these creatures have gone through evolutionarily in order to achieve such an appearance (and all those limbs)?
spring blaze
drifting copper
but just merge everything lmao
spring blaze
i think its like growth than evolution
sly kestrel
I think that’s a reference to it
drifting copper
it’s kinda like kitsune in a way?
lone epoch
They develop more limbs as they grow, I see.
drifting copper
except wings
lone epoch
So this means these butterflies are the larval stage of the manta.
spring blaze
sure
spring blaze
i mean they dont really do anything but light u up and stay by the same spots haha
snisp this is the lore channel
we’re all thinking too much
lone epoch
Haha, that’s true I suppose.
sly kestrel
It’s true for me at least
exotic shuttle
here's what the wasteland elder's cutscene used to be https://youtu.be/bQTH0bLyvh4?t=29353
spring blaze
tgc: breathes
us:
warped reef
Ahhh that´s an old gem Josh 
exotic shuttle
it's so cool
lone epoch
Makes me wonder what exactly is inside a manta. Magic aside, It clearly has to be something lightweight like cartilage or something hollow in order to sustain flight, and it would have to stay that way as the manta develops, lest the elder mantas plummet to the ground from their own weight or crush themselves upon their own mass.
exotic shuttle
right!?!
drifting copper
I WOULD’VE GONE TO BATTLEFIELD MORE THAN I DO RIGHT NOW
lone epoch
And I say that because when most whales get beached, they don’t have the support the water provides them, which literally forces them to collapse on themselves due to their sheer weight alone.
spring blaze
dont whales sink to the ocean when they die
lone epoch
In water, Ginsy. Not when they’re beached.
spring blaze
yeah im just sayin haha
lone epoch
That’s sad, though.
spring blaze
it is
lone epoch
Very.
drifting copper
didn’t a concept just say they were made of charcoal bones
scarlet wren
can i just.. take the time to appreciate this baby
spring blaze
you’re getting weak. you can’t catch up you to your family. slowly, you sink to the ocean floor, callingout to them
drifting copper
omg baby
exotic shuttle

drifting copper
I WANT IT
scarlet wren

drifting copper
TGC WHY DID YOU REMOVE BABY
sly kestrel
The full picture looked like it was the prairie elder’s life stage
I don’t have it right now
lone epoch
I’m sad now, Ginsy.
spring blaze

me after: BABY
scarlet wren
lone epoch
Really digging the Prairie elder’s shirt.
humble barn
who knows a new season may have a baby seasonal spirit
sly kestrel
I’m over here thinking the prairie elder was born an adult 😂
spring blaze

We already had a child spirit with a unique model in belonging.
spring blaze
PRAIRIE DAD WAS A DAD??
lone epoch
The Isle spirit, that is.

What if this image alone is the Prairie elder’s life across the ages alone?
spring blaze
what life stages
sly kestrel
She’s not mean anymore
spring blaze
omg snisp 
drifting copper
WAS SHE A PART OF THE MEAN GIRLS OR SOMETHING
lone epoch
Her temple got flooded due to a plumbing problem.
sly kestrel
When she had the umbrella and fluffy hair, THAT was when she was mean
spring blaze
darn spirits and their plumbing system
scarlet wren
I just figured that image with the baby was the prairie's people dhfjgkgkd
lone epoch
Then there was a crab infestation, and the dark plants grew like mould.
That’s why she’s so cranky.
drifting copper
someone broke all the water closets and so the plumbing problem occured
spring blaze
but like considering how majority of prairies spirits are the fat laborers then it’s possible theyre just his people
sly kestrel
Heyyy they aren’t all fat
spring blaze
majority
sly kestrel
They are hard workerssss
drifting copper
chunky
