i don’t know much about grain silos, so i can’t answer that question, null

#

talking about what birds nest towers are for

mortal viper
#

oh

#

if you happen to fall in a full silo, you are pretty much in trouble

#

you will sink and be crushed by the weight. the more you move, the more ypu sink, a lot like quicksand

lethal stump
#

maybe that’s how bird call spirit died

mortal viper
#

poor of them

#

that's a cruel death

lethal stump
#

it is...

mortal viper
#

but there seemed to be stairs inside

lethal stump
#

true, which is why i think it was a breeding farm for creatures of light

mortal viper
#

but light creatures can go through walls...

they are ?

yes

i never learnt that
where did that info come from ?

lore doc I think

lethal stump
#

i’ll have to reread lmao

snow void
#

weird q; but the fossil(?) in the hidden forrest, is it a krill or a whale

lethal stump
#

whale

#

it gives you the whale call

snow void
#

O! nice

lethal stump
#

no problem

red grove
#

Don't you guys find kind of weird how the sky civilization was barely leaving their "stone age" and entering their bronze age and then suddenly collapsed?

lethal stump
#

it wasn’t, they had precious metal and technology (power diamonds)

warm fog
#

heck yeha

cold steppe
#

I'm pretty sure the devs said that the power diamonds contributed to the fall of the civilization

#

some here believe the giant red diamond thing in Eden is a giant power diamond that exploded, causing everyone to die

#

we don't really know for sure, but I think the power diamond theory is pretty strongly supported

red grove
#

some here believe the giant red diamond thing in Eden is a giant power diamond that exploded, causing everyone to die
@cold steppe
I mean maybe?
The farthest you are from Eden the more nature and beauty there is. Everything in Eden or next to it it's death or wants you to be. It's kinda sounds like a nuclear bomb, it contaminates everything with the added nuclear winter there too, since theres a never ending storm in Eden.

hollow orbit
#

hmm

short owl
#

What if sky kids themselves can't feel like... anything other than whether or not their flame is critically low?

#

And pressure bc they have to know when wind is making it harder to move

red grove
#

And pressure bc they have to know when wind is making it harder to move
@short owl
Sky kids do feel cold however. There's an emote about shivering. However, they are very resistant to both cold and got temperatures. So one has to wonder, if you can walk in a snowy lake without ever feeling cold, how cold is contaminated water for it to be actually hurtful?

sly kestrel
#

If ur talking about pain, I believe you
I believe the only “pain” they feel is when their light is low or anything related to their flame being extinguished
Besides that, I don’t think they feel anything
Temperature doesn’t bother them, nor does hunger, thirst and they can fall off huge players

red grove

@sly kestrel
There is pain, if you are going to fast and you crash you lose some light

sly kestrel
#

Cold doesn’t bother em in my opinion
The emote is jus an emote learned from a spirit

short owl
#

It's an emote, but they may just he coppying someone rather than doing it naturally

sly kestrel
#

U don’t have to quote and ping me I’m right here

kind bobcat
#

yeah they literally dip in ice water

snow void
#

smackdab on the floor after flight and theyre fine too i think

sly kestrel
#

And yes I do remember them hitting hard surfaces rlly hard can take their light
But it still doesn’t prove that they feel pain from it

kind bobcat
#

Maybe skykids interpret losing their light to the respective feelings.

#

For example when they get krilled or bonk on walls they feel pain

red grove
#

Maybe skykids interpret losing their light to the respective feelings.
@kind bobcat
I think feelings don't matter when a high velocity red rock crashes on your face

kind bobcat
#

And feel cold when they stay too long in wasteland water

sly kestrel
#

I’ve been there for an hour, it doesn’t bother them

cold steppe
#

yeah, I've wondered if shiver emote is just them copying a spirit or do they actually get cold and shiver

red grove
#

And feel cold when they stay too long in wasteland water
@kind bobcat
Yes but that's because that's contaminated water. So contaminated water has to be hundreds of degrees below zero, somehow

gray bridge
#

i wouldn't be surprised if they were just emotionless, like if they just lost their light they'll be like "ö"

cold steppe
#

oily water is not cold though

#

for example

#

it's just very contaminated and deadly

#

(if it's like natural oil and not like olive oil)

red grove
#

it's just very contaminated and deadly
@cold steppe
No no hear me up

kind bobcat
#

As i say, the skykids interpret losing their light to the corresponding feelings

#

It could be wrong

sly kestrel
#

Ok point is, we have no way of knowing if they do feel pain bc of our perspective of what pain looks like
We say “ow” or “AHH” etc, and skykids cant make noises besides honk, who knows they could either be in deep pain in the inside
OR
They could simply not be affected at all, it simply effects their flame
I don’t think we can ever kno for sure

red grove
#

You get the emote because a spirit I'm the forest was shivering due to contaminated rain

hushed steeple
#

Maybe black water isn’t cold at all? Going back to the nuclear meltdown theory, maybe the water’s just really contaminated, which is why you basically die in the final place in Eden, because it’s so toxic there it wears away you without your light as protection.

sly kestrel
#

Black water was hinted not to be water at all, including the rain at forest

#

So it could simply be the substance

hushed steeple
#

Ooh...

red grove
#

Maybe black water isn’t cold at all? Going back to the nuclear meltdown theory, maybe the water’s just really contaminated, which is why you basically die in the final place in Eden, because it’s so toxic there it wears away you without your light as protection.
@hushed steeple
So we need a protective suit?

sly kestrel

Cold for sure doesn’t take our light

@sly kestrel
But the sustance acts like water. It seems to follow the water cycle, since it rains. Or worse, something it's dropping it on the forest

cold steppe
#

acid rain also acts like water

#

still corrosive

sly kestrel
#

Well the water is more like oil or tar, but we don’t kno for sure

a lot of really, really awful chemicals act like "water"/liquid

Caffeine is an addictive substance

oop sorry i derailed it a bit-

No, WE derailed a bit

We all in this together 🤜🏻

kind bobcat
#

you know where this is going

red grove
#

It could be soy sauce pSquint
@kind bobcat
Barbecue sauce

kind bobcat
#

There are two types of soy sauce.

gray bridge
#

🤛

kind bobcat
#

Sweet and salty

sly kestrel
#

One is soy and one is sauce

#

Oh

#

That too

kind bobcat
#

Salty soy sauce is less viscous

#

Which could be the rain

cold steppe
#

we are technically off topic

safe osprey
#

there's light soy sauce and dark soy sauce

red grove
#

we speculating on what the water is now :0
@safe osprey
This is the lore Channel, the devs could make some rambling on a rock and we would discover it's an ancient mesopotamic civilization death language

kind bobcat
#

And sweet soy sauce is viscous which could be wasteland water

safe osprey
#

source? am asian

cold steppe
#

res, your name is genius

kind bobcat
#

THE WATER IS SOY SAUCE

gray bridge
#

whatever the substance is, i think the acid rain in forest came from the evaporation of the wasteland water

#

thank you wren SkyBow

safe osprey
#

@red grove ah noted with thanks

kind bobcat
#

i still think the water is actually creature remains

cold steppe
#

it's kind of interesting that the snow or whatever substance that we slide on in Valley is harmless though

#

also the clouds are all regenerative

sly kestrel
#

When ur in a factory, smoke comes out right? This leads to lots of air pollution
Well, both wasteland and forest are industrial areas with the diamond factories, maybe the acid rain and the water is all effects from the factories

snow void
#

ngl i used to think the snow thing in valley was salt

cold steppe
#

let's play game mechanics or lore

#

ooh, yeah, Jay summed up what I was thinking but could not express

safe osprey
#

@snow void i thought the snow was sand bro

red grove
#

let's play game mechanics or lore
@cold steppe
My favorite game

snow void
#

sand is better than saLT

cold steppe
#

tbh, salt would be interesting to consider as salt is actually rather destructive for living things

kind bobcat
#

The technology the ancestors used could be different than ours pEyes

cold steppe
#

there was a reason that invaders would seed the land with salt

#

it killed plant life and prevented new plants from growing

safe osprey
#

salt makes ice colder aka better slip and slides whoop whoop

cold steppe
#

salt melts ice too

#

when I lived in cold places, there were salt trucks to make the ice and snow melt faster

#

keep people safe

sly kestrel
#

Well I learned something new today

lethal stump
#

here in canada, salt is used to make roads less slippery

cold steppe
#

ah, I stand corrected

#

technically salt prevents melted ice from refreezing

#

I just looked it up

red grove
#

it killed plant life and prevented new plants from growing
@cold steppe
Poor cartage

#

baffles me that some people don’t know about salting roads...

I thought that the king one was a well-established fact

safe osprey
#

sorry man some of us live on the equator pFIRE

red grove
#

So you think someone salted the GW to stop any live from living there again?
And then contaminated the sea?
But why?
As a warning so that skykids wouldn't go there?

cold steppe
#

Valley might be the salted one

#

though I do think it's either snow or white sand

sly kestrel
#

The only source to the corrupted water is the pipes

#

Have u seen the shipwreck..

red grove
#

I AM BRICKY
@lethal stump
Hello bricky, I'm blinky, you friendly neighborhood bad theorist plant

spice kernel
#

Why do spirits and elders have VISIBLE fingers while we don't?

sly kestrel
#

And the nasty tar coming out of the pipes 🤢

kind bobcat
#

Yes, the pipes could be some exhaust pipe for the factories

sly kestrel
#

Oh and the SOUND EFFECTS TOO
“Djsbekkebnkdorhdkrj”-wasteland pipe

kind bobcat
#

WHICH COMES BACK TO THE BUTTERFLY SLUDGE

red grove
#

though I do think it's either snow or white sand
@cold steppe
Yeah why does the snow looks like sand but white?

gray bridge
#

because we're not biologically related to spirits and elders

cold steppe
#

or pipes for waste

spice kernel
#

still, why can't we have fingers :(

red grove
#

The only source to the corrupted water is the pipes
@sly kestrel but how did the pipes reached the forest?
Why did they skipped valley?

cold steppe
#

Hage clarified and said that the devs only said that we aren't related to elders. nothing about spirits though

sly kestrel
#

Pipes aren’t in forest

kind bobcat
#

Valley is a high-up place

red grove
#

Why do spirits and elders have VISIBLE fingers while we don't?
@spice kernel
Time to play
Artist liberty or lore

sly kestrel
#

Pipes are only in wasteland and eden

gray bridge
#

ohh, i get the spirits part because both skids and spirits have the blue spirit in them

safe osprey
#

artists find it hard to draw fingers man spare them @spice kernel

cold steppe
#

so, my thoughts were that Forest is the production of the raw power diamonds and Wasteland is the refinery, which might produce far more toxic waste than simple production

kind bobcat
#

Maybe wasteland was also the place where Valley's sewage ends up in.

#

oh god, ancestor waste

red grove
#

Valley might be the salted one
@cold steppe
But there is life there. Also why do you hear screams and aplausses at the fire when there is no one there?

cold steppe
#

I meant plant life

sly kestrel
#

Also
There is another reason to believe the pipes are sort of innocent
If they were meant to simply transport waste and sewage, why is there a pipe in eden that’s transporting fresh water...

kind bobcat
#

Coolant.

cold steppe
#

I think some of the pipes are decorated. It might be interesting to see if there's a visible difference

kind bobcat
#

Eden is a big power plant i tell you that

sly kestrel
#

This leads me to believe that the pipes were originally for water transportation but SOMETHING messed it up

red grove
#

so, my thoughts were that Forest is the production of the raw power diamonds and Wasteland is the refinery, which might produce far more toxic waste than simple production
@cold steppe
So sky it's industrial/nuclear revolutions gone wrong?
Actually makes a lot of sense.

cold steppe
#

oh, maybe pollution from the plants

#

corrupted the clean water?

sly kestrel
#

It even makes fresh water sound effects as well

safe osprey
#

@red grove kinda poetic in a way

sly kestrel
#

So yea I believe something corrupted the clean water

kind bobcat
#

Corrupted / Contaminated

gray bridge
#

maybe the gw/forest waste got mixed up with the fresh water pipe

kind bobcat
#

some moron in wasteland decided to join the water supply to the waste disposal pipes

sly kestrel
#

And this corrupted water corrupted the normal water
And this corrupted water corrupted even more water that later became corrupted and starting spreading corruption to make even more things corrupted

safe osprey
#

~someone pulled the wrong lever~

red grove
#

Omg so the krill and the crabs are the species that not only did survive the cataclysm but they adapted to it and atack you because without the contaminated water/biomas (Which for them our clean lands are contaminated) they will die?

#

Just like the elders did

sly kestrel
#

We have no facts on why they attack

cold steppe
#

it looks like the krill and crabs are corrupted

kind bobcat
#

" Hey did you get the pipeline layout for the King's factory project? "

" Don't know man, King didn't tell us honk. Can't get honk in wasteland. "

cold steppe
#

Brick, how could you

safe osprey
#

ythink the krill and crabs were normal creatures that got affected by the water and then they turned dark

kind bobcat
#

Crabs are crabs

lethal stump
#

I AM BRICKY

sly kestrel
#

There’s reason to belive crabs weren’t always corrupted

#

Krill, idk about that since we haven’t seen any proof that doubts that they are naturally dark creatures

kind bobcat
#

The ark has some krill murals though.

safe osprey
#

some of them (crabs) are docile so like maybe the ones that got a high concentration of dark water are just particularly agro

kind bobcat
#

Or the ark spirits made those before they all died of natural causes

sly kestrel
#

The ones that aren’t hostile don’t have black flakes on them
The ones that do have the black flakes

#

We get black flakes at the most corrupted place from eden when we are dying and krill drop these flakes for a living

#

Now question is

#

WHAT ARE THEY

safe osprey
#

concentrated dark water that crystallised idk

kind bobcat
#

Corruption Dandruff

lethal stump
#

pollen ?

WHAT ARE THEY
@sly kestrel

More importantly.
Do we need to know?
Should we know?

sly kestrel
#

yea

cold steppe

I would love to know

kind bobcat
#

Well, we get flaky when we die too

#

Could be just darkness.

sly kestrel
#

Question is, who doesn’t wanna know SkyLOL

#

what if the darkness is signs of them slowly decaying

Also with the nuclear theory, the it makes senses that GW and Eden are a mess but the vault it's not.
It's a vault after all. A bunker, but not for people it seems. So weird, to save your knowledge before your people

safe osprey

the devs probably look at this chat and go 'ack they're overanalysing the game design again'

@red grove maybe that knowledge was all stored up in there after the extinction to pass on to future generations

wintry ginkgo
#

This is random, but I hope that this counts as lore because I love the idea of this

safe osprey
#

@red grove maybe they couldn't save the people so they saved their knowledge so at least someone would be able to remember them and piece together what happened

sly kestrel

I don’t even know what I’m looking at

red grove

Knowledge is valued in the ancestor's civilization.
@kind bobcat
The ancestors values knowledge more than people then?
Funny, cause skykids seem to be the contrary. I don't think they can even read

I'm in two chats at the same time sorry if I missed you

Wait, who did that?
If they were extint

I'm not sure about that though

I think they made it because they wanted to

kind bobcat
#

Vault also acts as an elevator to eden though.

cold steppe
#

for the knowledge

gray bridge
#

oo yeah true

cold steppe
#

are we thinking of a sudden explosion or a gradual destruction?

that could make a difference in the theory

I believe the initial explosion caused the storm around eden.

did it explode and wipe everyone out, or did it explode and poison everyone-type destruction

kind bobcat
#

Just to clarify so i won't be wrong.

cold steppe
#

personal canon idea

short owl
#

Something that can more easily just be, and maybe isn't supposed to run out of light

red grove
#

what's a headcanon
@kind bobcat
Like, canon it's the actual history of something. Head canon it's what you think happened in that story

gray bridge
#

i'm throwing in the fart of the eden diamond theory, i was thinking that the scholars knew about the production of the gigantic eden diamond and they had a bad feeling about it, since powerdiamonds were usually small-ish in size
but it's possible vault could have been a public library of sorts as well
but i think that maybe instead of trying to save themselves they just accepted their demise and did what they can to save the rest of their history

cold steppe
#

what you decide is canon

kind bobcat
#

I personally think it exploded and caused the storm + killed everyone

#

And the civilization just started falling apart on it's own

red grove
#

did it explode and wipe everyone out, or did it explode and poison everyone-type destruction
@cold steppe
Or both?
Maybe it's not so much a nuclear bomb but a Chernobyl like incident.
Considering the Cristals give energy and that

kind bobcat
#

Power plant theory pPopcorn

lethal stump
#

i think the deaths were gradual. The storm killed light creatures, water supplies were already poisoned, people ran out of food and water to keep themselves alive and add fighting over resources led to their demise

@lethal stump
Have you seen how spirits are doing something and then suddenly the memories stop?
Like only their essence remained there?
It kinda reminds me of the shadows people left in Hiroshima. Like you see what was the last thing they were doing before their death.
A nuclear bomb makes senses in that case

hollow orbit
#

although to be fair tragedies like pompeii do something similar

gray bridge
#

thing is, we don't know if the spirits' memories are what they see before they die, it could just be a key memory in their lifetime

kind bobcat
#

Yeah i think it's more of a pompeii than a hiroshima kind of thing.

lethal stump
#

i don’t think the eden diamond had the power of a nuclear bomb. if it did, everything up to valley would be razed to the ground and valley would be as contaminated as wasteland

short owl
#

Some of these memories very much seem like a "thing they did in their life time" that don't really fit with the idea of what they did when they died.

Something that could also be a thing though - the people they had social lives with may not be around to call them to the world anymore.

I was going to ask if you think there would be bodies

hollow orbit
#

yeah probably

cold steppe
#

there's what we think are gravestones, but do you think there's a physical body

hollow orbit
#

theyre super old memories so the bodies have decayed /been buried but yes

cold steppe
#

true

#

but happy time

hollow orbit
#

HAPPY TIME

cold steppe
#

in the elder cutscene, we see the twins with what looks like paddles and they play ball with it

#

possibly a ball game?

lethal stump
#

lacrosse but less cultural appropriation

cold steppe
#

looks like baseball but without gloves

lethal stump
#

that works too

cold steppe
#

and like lacrosse but without baskets

#

paddle tennis

?

hollow orbit

however in their mural it looks like hockey

oh true

ngl, I forgot field hockey was a sport

hollow orbit

field hockey but in the air

#

the constellation reminds me of hockey too

cold steppe
#

mix of field hockey and lacrosse maybe

lethal stump
#

where would they play though
the colloseum ? that place is tiny

cold steppe
#

would make it more challenging though

#

more interesting to watch

lethal stump
#

many many more balls going into the stands

#

you can’t eat at valley games for fear you’ll get a ball or paddle in your plate

cold steppe
#

so, speaking of eating

#

it seems like spirits ate

#

That might not be too bad, think of base ball

(crab roast)

red grove
#

what sport do yall think the cheering spirit and their friends were watching
@hollow orbit races

#

and made their graves
@kind bobcat WHAT

cold steppe
#

but amaraylily has a point

#

the thing about watching races though is that you don't usually want to just watch the end

#

you want to see more of it

lethal stump
#

maybe they used the hologram tech to see all of it ?

cold steppe
#

hmmm, that could be interesting

hushed sable
#

Idk if the path we take was originally supposed to be a race track

cold steppe
#

would account for the smaller stadium too

#

it seems like it's through houses, at least for the sliding race

#

though the flying race has buildings, but they're more deteriorated

lethal stump
#

it seems the flying race was home to higher class buildings before something destroyed them

red grove
#

the thing about watching races though is that you don't usually want to just watch the end
@cold steppe
I mean we have races in my country and people sit all over the road. You see the cars like once every few minutes

cold steppe
#

yeah

hushed sable
#

Maybe people just watched out of their houses then

cold steppe
#

they don't all sit at the end in a giant stadium

hushed sable
#

I think the flying race isn't supposed to be a trip a track. We're just using it as one

red grove
#

Also what's the building style of Sky?
Like to what culture does the buildings seem to belong?
An Asian friend told me they looked like something from South Asia

cold steppe
#

I wish we knew if some of the concept art is still canon or not

hushed sable
#

There's a lot of different cultures that looks like they have influence on the architecture of sky

cold steppe
#

I was reading something and it said that some of the architecture was inspired by "the cultures of Bhutan, Tibet, Ecuador, and other mountainous regions"

kind bobcat
#

Buddhism, Hinduism

cold steppe
#

it was from the Apple App Store

kind bobcat
#

I visited Borobudur a few years ago

#

And it looked almost exactly like the prairie temple

cold steppe
#

oh yeah, it really does

orchid crypt
#

“And so, as we create visuals, I wanted to have something that nobody had seen, but yet still feels familiar. And so the majority of the architecture from Journey had Middle Eastern influences. Because that still felt exotic. For Sky most of the architecture we took was from Burma, Bhutan and Tibet, which is exotic to Chinese and Japanese people.” He notes that it engenders a sense of high spaces, of altitude. “We want to bring something fresh in terms of aesthetics. The game is also fresh in terms of technology, we render our clouds in a way nobody else does.”

re "architecture influences"

kind bobcat
#

But wasteland and vault doesnt have any of those though pThink

#

No stupas only king

cold steppe
#

it did say most

#

not all

orchid crypt
#

it's probably to contrast with the visual theme, since wasteland and vault were a lot more technologically advanced

cold steppe
#

Wasteland and Vault are much blockier

orchid crypt
#

wasteland in particular is pretty industrialised

kind bobcat
#

Could be that wasteland and vault are newer

cold steppe
#

or more updated

#

But wasteland and vault doesnt have any of those though pThink
@kind bobcat
Well boats and towers are something every cultures does.

kind bobcat
#

But it doesnt actually look like the structures we usually see in Sky

red grove
#

Yes the clouds are amazing. They look like big cotton balls

orchid crypt
#

there's also the fact that most of the "cultural buildings" in golden wasteland are kinda half crumbling sqwarlockDed

#

so most of the stuff we can make out are just the pipes

kind bobcat
#

the temple on front

red grove
#

it's probably to contrast with the visual theme, since wasteland and vault were a lot more technologically advanced
@orchid crypt
I mean wasteland was technology advanced

kind bobcat
#

Wasteland had turrets

#

In the concept arts

orchid crypt
#

actually wait, come to think of it...i think we already lost some of the tibetian thematics by the time we got to valley of triumph -- that one felt a lot more roman to me

lethal stump
#

« what culture do you want to use as inspiration ? »
TGC: yes

cold steppe
#

there's a lot less decoration in Wasteland, though that could also be from the wear and tear on the buildings

kind bobcat
#

I think wasteland was built for more practical purposes

hollow orbit
#

« what culture do you want to use as inspiration ? »
TGC: yes
@lethal stump to be fair it could apply to the fact their audience is largely from asia and north america from what ive seen

orchid crypt
#

we did have ceremonial statues just before the first krill, those felt kinda similar to what we saw in valley

cold steppe
#

true

kind bobcat
#

So, what was buried in the sand?

#

ark theme plays in the background

cold steppe
#

I kind of doubt that TGC was making a game specifically for a target audience, if that makes sense
TGC/Jenova Chen seems to be the kind of people that do what they want and enjoy

#

I am still sad that we never really got all the closure we were hoping for at the end of Enchantment

#

most of the lore we got was from the very beginning, with the new area and then the red light itself

we didn't really learn much past that, tbh

The fact they had farms and they roasted crabs means the ancestors ate.

#

yep, it's like being exposed to the cruelty of the world

#

also the level is a bit foggy with the rain and all so i like to think that it's where everything is uncertain and you're still struggling to understand yourself and your surroundings

thorn spade
#

forest is a mood

#

but since forest has LOTS of candles n money plants

teenage years make you rich

hushed steeple
#

I think of rainforest as a struggle,
Rain is depression/anxiety/world weighing down on you and killing you slowly as you struggle through school and stuff, abd having an umbrella is like a free pass through life, or maybe a friend who helped you get through those tough times as a teen

gray bridge
#

yes, the rain can represent the problems that bring you down

#

but what's good is that there are shelters and light that you can rest, so you're not always being pelted by rain

kind bobcat

hey free candles

hi just walking in because i keep seeig lore channel memes, but forest representing depression or anxiety is actually really fitting with the fact Forest represents being a teenager or something (since each realm represents a stage in life)

I want to be blue so badly

gray bridge
#

in the concept art, darkstone was mined from forest and used to create advancements technology
currently we have power diamonds/darkstone which were probably produced in forest and also wasteland, so it's a similar concept to the darkstone in the tomcepts

#

correct me if i'm wrong lol

#

also about the blue thing, i think it's used to represent death (but not all the time) in circumstances like

they're blue when you first see em

i forgot what i was gonna say nor do i know how to say who matpat is

sly kestrel
#

The tone of the environment and some items represent the emotion that was supposed to be implemented. Bright orange and strong colors ranging to the dark feel of blue and black
But that doesn’t necessarily mean every single color represents that certain meaning. For example, jus bc the navy blue cape is blue, doesn’t mean it’s evil

mellow zodiac
#

Matpat is a brilliant YouTube theorist. He has game theory, film theory and now food theory.

food? 👀

is it the blue eggs?

the graveyard?

that's graveyard

safe osprey

ik i just call it krill nest bc there's a lot of em

And the dead bodies aren’t krill

sinful anvil
#

it has so many bones. its not a good place, but the music sounds regal

#

its violin after all

i feel like graveyard’s named of course graveyard just because theres dead whale bones everywhere

sly kestrel

I can’t even enjoy the music because of all the moffs loud honking

safe osprey

ohhh so that's what the bones are

sinful anvil

wat ppl would honk??

ooo hage had a theory that the big bones were used to power the eden diamond

And there may be SOME whale bones but not all

hushed steeple

The skulls are completely different

iirc the skulls were based on turtles??

mellow zodiac
#

Are the bones giant ancestors?

sly kestrel

Ancestor creatures perhaps

sinful anvil
#

these bones are whales? idk if theyre close to the one in forest

sly kestrel
#

Reika said they are based off of whale and turtle bones

#

We don’t kno the exact creature

mellow zodiac
#

Ah I see

hushed steeple
sly kestrel
#

And we don’t even kno if it’s a creature in real life

steady pollen
#

whales exist tho

sly kestrel
#

It could simply be a creature that makes sense only in sky

#

But anyways, they aren’t whales

mellow zodiac
#

I wonder why the crabs are so aggressive

sinful anvil
#

i think krills ate the whales

mellow zodiac
#

I'm thinking the sludge killed them

#

Kind of like when mammoths would die in tar pits

#

Since it kills us too if we stay too long

hushed steeple
#

It could be possible that those are killed by ancestors to make diamonds

sly kestrel
#

Well here’s one speculation
The “whale” is simply a fan name we all came up with, it’s not actually a whale pWhale
It’s a creature based of off 2 different fish
Well the graveyard creatures are based on whales and sea turtles, so the same could apply to them

#

No exact name of their race

sinful anvil
#

how did krills even come to patrol the area

#

ok in the end … krills are actually dragons

mellow zodiac
#

Maybe because they're attracted to death

sly kestrel
#

Well, they all seem to be in key places and not jus random wandering creatures
I know that much

#

Their motive is still a mystery

safe osprey
#

oh i've only recently learned that there's a krill at the beginning of the ark area

hushed steeple
#

Krills are in sky kingdom from beginning I think

sinful anvil
#

and technically they dont kill you

safe osprey
#

why is it there

sly kestrel
#

They can if u get krilled enough

#

Also we dunno, but the spirits recognized it and made a mural about him

#

Their existence lasted a long time bc some other spirit memories show the existence of krill

sinful anvil
#

were they even friendly at some point

safe osprey
#

i would love a friendly krill

hushed steeple
#

I don't think so

sinful anvil
#

but the sneaky krill survivor showed he was evading one

sly kestrel
#

Well, remember we don’t have the answers to everything
U supposed to make the answers to the story

#

Also yes, that’s what I was talking about earlier

krills look lowkey like doggies tho

#

actually

#

i was wondering about this for a while

#

was it some unspoken/established rule that the ancestors/elders/everyone who was in sky civilisation had to all wear a mask?

#

then again, for spirits like cry spirit and the bald whisperers, they don't seem to be wearing masks either

nimble siren
#

i figured it was a way to differentiate people and show rank

#

hmm true

sly kestrel
#

One true question I have is why do the elders wear masks of some spirits

lethal stump
#

it might be the other way around, jay

sly kestrel
#

Nope, that’s what I thought at first but think about it

gray bridge
#

wdym by masks of some spirits o:

nimble siren
#

the headplates and helmets i think?

sly kestrel
#

The masks are based on some key items that were made during the time of the civilization
The pots and the boats, even the diamond mask
If the elders originally had these masks from the beginning and some of the ancestors simply copied them, it wouldn’t make sense

#

Ahh it’s hard to explain hold up

nimble siren
#

maybe they didnt have those masks from the beginning, maybe they got them as society advanced

hushed steeple
#

Aye, I think krill used to be good creatures and something bad happened like an endless darkness (or maybe the eden beam just suddenly stopped connecting the planet by some large celestial body getting on the way) , their lights burned out and they let the darkness take over

sly kestrel
#

Actually, I think I jus answered my own question
Took me a while to think

#

Ur not alone rico, some of us think krills were once innocent as well

#

🤜🏻

hushed steeple
#

Yee you see

nimble siren
#

i think krills used to be the mega mantas like you see in vault

hushed steeple
#

I get this from the start message of them being "hungry for light"

lethal stump
#

i don’t think any of the animals are good or bad. calling krills evil and mantas good is like calling lions evil and zebras good just because one has to eat the other

sly kestrel
#

There are lots of theories about the krill origins actually
They are the cosmic whales but corrupted
Man made creatures
Light creatures that got corrupted
Robots
Simply dark creatures that existed in the beginning
An adult phase of the crabs
Corrupted mantas
And some others that I can’t remember

crimson geyser
#

I think the krills are some type of surveillance device/creatures

nimble siren
#

ah true, darkness isnt inherently bad as long as it doesnt bother the light, and vice versa hahah

#

ive seen theories for krill being rogue weapons/ai that were used during the wasteland wars

sly kestrel
#

Perhaps not rogue but still fulfilling the purpose of an evil person 🤔

hushed steeple
#

I also thought of toxic water in wasteland, you know how darkness drops from krill? Maybe those darkness drops polluted the water, since they have proably been there a long time

#

🤔

lethal stump
#

i made up some krill biology...i’ll draw a few diagrams and show u my headcanon
it’s not based on anything, i just think it’s cool

sly kestrel
#

Oh yeah, there’s theories that they were born from the dark water as well
Like how mantas were said to be born from the clouds and light

hushed steeple
#

🤔 🤔 🤔

sly kestrel
#

Tho I do wonder if that’s the case
How do they suddenly have intelligence that only a person can teach them or influence them to do

And krill behavior as well

hushed steeple
#

Good night🧱y

nimble siren
#

well i dont think theyre fully mechanical, the way they move seems more natural sometimes

sly kestrel
#

They only guard certain places, they don’t hunt randomly

half ridge
#

Maybe they're guards or something..

nimble siren
#

crazy krill cyborgs ahaha

mellow zodiac
#

But that sound they make sounds so mechanical

hushed steeple
#

🤔

mellow zodiac
#

Like metal jaws unhinging

nimble siren
#

it does, even when they move..... 😬

mellow zodiac
#

I'm sure an advanced civilization could create metal creatures that move like that

#

Are we allowed to link to videos in the chat?

sly kestrel
#

For example, when they krill a person, they immediately go back the the spot they were guarding
And here’s the spots the krill are at
A broken factory, the graveyard, the shipwreck, the entrance to the hidden island, some are heavily watching over Eden, and some come once u open the door to the temple

#

I see intelligence in them, bred or created for guarding purposes

hushed steeple
#

They are more like natural creatures than mechanical for me

nimble siren
#

i think theyre dark creatures enhanced with technology that stopped obeying commands

sinful anvil
#

in concept art, i think from 7 days of sky? i saw somewhere that says “[krills] symbolize difficulties and hardships / not evil”. mb these ideas are abandoned but i dont think krills are naturally evil. they dont kill you. they damage you which brings huge trouble. but the whole process is p menacing.
i dont think they are created to terminate any lives.

hushed steeple
#

I have an idea and scientific idea about how winged light works and what sky kids are made of

sly kestrel
#

What gave u the idea they stopped obeying commands guava

hushed steeple
#

Think about how light works

#

Photons

#

Wing light is a light a compressed bunch of photons

sly kestrel
#

Wait, gauva let’s hold off for our krill talk a bit
Rico has a theory to present

nimble siren
#

...actually ive never thought about that too much, but i didnt think they would just start killing every spirit in sight yknow. although them being used as weapons definitely means the krill were commanded to harm

#

yea sorry

#

go on rico

hushed steeple
#

Each use, releases a, big glow or explosion as if a bunch of photos have been released

#

Photons

#

And the darker skin also this light energy to be absorbed (be cause light kids are brown) and stored in stars

#

And light kids might be a, huge "bag" of photons covered in a dark skin

nimble siren
#

that would make sense

#

just wondering, what do you think capes are made of?

#

i think light but im interested in hearing your take

hushed steeple
#

But look, clouds are made of ice water unless the white reflect charges energy

#

Capes?

nimble siren
#

yeah a skykids winglike capes

hushed steeple
#

Not exactly sure but I'd say it's just like a light storage, made from proably the sane skin but thinner (because u can see the light in it if it's not fully charged) also it releases a low amount of photons (because all light kids have a glow) and u know, blue light is a shorter wavelength so when you take off from the ground, a flash of blue happens because, of the release in light energy

Hello Lore chat SkyKDance

After all, if you lose all your light your cape vanished

It's about modeling, if you look closely only the main sculpture is there

A rough skykid model is the shadow I suppose

What do you mean? (Also, I love your profile picture)

prime pasture
#

I noticed while walking around, our skykid's shadows are rough models of them

winged gazelle
#

Does anyone have any pictures of the headdress with runes on it?

It could also be that rendering the cape's shadow would take up processing power, but it could totally be a canon convenience which doesn't make it any less interesting. SkyClap SkyClap

unborn fog
#

its a device limitation

#

its easier on the gpu to put down a general shadow than to raytrace the whole skykid

winged gazelle
#

I got done with my wl and crs early so I've spent the day taking pictures of bones in the game. So... so many bones.

#

Also, quick question. Why does rain hurt, but not plunging in to water?

#

(unless it's the bad water ofc)

hushed steeple
#

I pretty sure only some water is bad and it seems like all the water in the forest is bad so just the whole precipitation cycle is why the rain hurts just a thought tho

orchid crypt
#

the sky kids are actually fine swimming around in forests' water -- it's the rain they don't like

hushed steeple
#

Toxic rain
Cursed rain

winged gazelle
#

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Water in sanctuary, home, and valley commune spots are perfectly fine (and being in the water in forest doesn't make you lose your light faster. Just timed it ;-; ouchy)

But the rain itself seems harmful.

It's interesting because if it was the cycle of precipitation that was harmful, all sources of water would make us loose light. From puddles, rain and clouds. But instead it's quite dynamic.

Standing water does nothing. (except slow you down ofc)
Rain makes you lose light
Clouds give you light

It's an interesting choice and kinda a headscratcher as to why the devs chose to do this.

@winged gazelle same question I have... I wonder tho if it's because the sky there got polluted since it was a logging/mining/industrial area, making the rain kinda dirty, but not enough to dirty the streams and lakes... 🧐

winged gazelle
#

@surreal helm I wonder the same thing, like if it's acid rain.

I actually have been looking at irl fauna, to see if the irl glowing mushrooms need acidic environments to grow.

I mean, it could just be chalked up to a neat mechanic to play the game. After all, TGC is very Nintendo where "fun gameplay first, story second." (Fear the Zelda timeline)

But if we did that, theorizing wouldn't be interesting or fun. There's a lot of interesting details to scutinize in the game, but juggling between what could be lore, fun gameplay mechanics, and just the limited processing power, it's hard to scutinize those details.

Wait.

hollow orbit
#

kind bobcat

If we think about it

The king is just the prince with a reverse chibi mask

hollow orbit
#

I -

lethal stump
#

you’re not wrong

kind bobcat

The king mask makes you huge instead of small

hollow orbit

mario growing sound effect

lethal stump

static spoke
#

So where did the king mask come from?

kind bobcat
#

It's not much different than the prince's mask though.

lean rapids
#

KING MASK KING MASK
adding to wishlist and idea

kind bobcat
#

Well, it is the prince's mask but the size is the size of the prince itself.

lean rapids
#

made-up krill biology
all the krill we see are in the « pup » stage, and they’ve likely already laid their clutches

CUTE KRILLL

#

krill pups

kind bobcat
#

I'm gonna make a dark plant anatomy.

lean rapids
#

where can i buy it?

kind bobcat
#

Since it's been in my head for a while

lethal stump
#

also the names for The King’s krill babies were made by @hollow orbit so credits to them
« Akhat, Shtayim, and Spot »

lean rapids
#

wait,if the krill was a pup this whole time

#

wheres the old one

lethal stump
#

that’s the « adult » stage

#

pup = adult

lean rapids
#

oh

static spoke
#

Where do the krill lay eggs?

#

Do we need a theory?!!

lean rapids
#

dark water prob

lethal stump
#

dry environnements

static spoke
#

So which one?

lethal stump
#

usually in caves or alcoves

lean rapids
#

maybe bricky

#

was right

hollow orbit
#

the names were following the hebrew scheme, theyre the feminine numbers (aside from spot)

static spoke
#

So no theory needed.

hollow orbit
#

yup

lethal stump
#

this is my headcanon, Oliver

#

don’t take it as fact

static spoke
#

I mean krill laying eggs

#

Hard to make a theory

acoustic sun
#

Wait so they are...er...what's the word for they don't need the male cell fertilization?

static spoke
#

So I’m glad you did

Sorry my King its supposedly OMK

lean rapids
#

so basically theres no single male krill?

lethal stump
#

not in my headcanon

lean rapids
#

atleast onepWow

lethal stump
#

nope, unless a krill is infertile

lean rapids
#

welp,okay

hollow orbit

part of me wants to do one of those joke anatomy posts where it gives cute names to all the parts of the animal

kind bobcat
lean rapids
#

lmao im crying😭 😂

#

like this

#

wait

hollow orbit
#

both

static spoke
#

Anything else to discuss?

hollow orbit
#

so yknow krill oil exists here but imagine if it existed in the world of sky and had the same medicinal properties

kind bobcat
#

..medicinal?

hollow orbit
#

nice krill

#

yes, it’s like fish oil

kind bobcat
#

Imagine if this made it in-game

lean rapids
#

omg

#

if sky was a pc game

kind bobcat
#

No Man's Sky

static spoke
#

Is that a UFO in the Sky?

swift helm
#

:O maybe worm hole

kind bobcat
#

Could be, in the tomcepts Sky had more circular shaped structures

short owl
#

All I can say is that if Sky ever is a computer game

I reaaaaly hope they support linux

kind bobcat
#

Sky rtx

short owl
#

Sky is nice and pretty and dark, that's like my favorite combo

lean rapids
#

imagine sky with rtx

#

oh ya the picture could be portal,to map i guess?

#

like home but more advance

static spoke
#

A broken portal

lean rapids
#

yes

static spoke
#

And a Sky kid who needs to restore it

#

To explore

lean rapids
#

collect the pieces to bring back something

static spoke
#

Yes!

lean rapids
#

what i think from the pic is that located in isle

static spoke
#

Maybe a transportation device of some sort like a boat or a whale or a manta

#

Notice how there’s a second circle in the background

#

So maybe it’s like a bridge

#

Restore the first circle to move on to the second

#

And then restore the second to move on to the third

#

And so on

lean rapids
static spoke
#

I believe so

swift helm
#

:O 2 fish

oh really ?

hushed steeple
#

Ye

lethal stump
#

i never knew

potent gate
#

you can get there after temple

hushed steeple
#

I'm interested about the design of eden shown in the pic

lethal stump
#

also someone posted the krill sounds in #promote-your-sky-content and it’s making me so confused as to if krill are natural or not

#

although when they hit it sounds like hitting stone which further backs up that skids are clay or something

#

is it just me or does it look like there’s people in that eden alpha card ?

hushed steeple
#

In that pic,?

lethal stump
#

yea

hushed steeple
#

I also noticed

lethal stump
#

really ? maybe i’m not going crazy after all

gray bridge

ooo i think i see em pEyes

Should we talk about it... I'm little confused... It's in game pic ... But in oob

i think it counts pEyes

hello everyone

hushed steeple
#

Hi krill

gray bridge
#

hi bluespirit SkyTada

mortal viper
#

Let me just drop something here before I forget.

#

I think I know why the rain in forest harms us

hushed steeple
#

Tell usstickerShiny

mortal viper
#

It's acid rain

#

let me send a pick of a forest afected by it

swift helm
#

:O the beginning of pollution

gray bridge
#

OOOOO:

#

i think you're right actually

#

the acid rain could have come from wasteland too

mortal viper
#

or be caused by their on factory

#

areas surrounding factories tend to be affected by it

gray bridge
#

it makes sense now stickerShiny

hushed steeple
#

So does it means those trees have no leafs for the acid rain

short owl
#

Leaves aren't particularly useful below the clouds

#

And plants can be somehow smart?

mortal viper
#

I think they are cloud trees

hushed steeple
short owl
#

Maybe leaves are above the clouds?

hushed steeple
#

Hmm

#

Maybe

mortal viper
#

but the white trunk is caused by the acid rain

naive copper
hushed steeple
naive copper
#

But it's lore

#

;-;

hushed steeple
#

Skykid and crab marriagepFIRE
It's a lore?

swift helm
#

I think its hard to make leaves in sky

hushed steeple
mortal viper
#

And plants can be somehow smart?
@short owl deffine smart

naive copper
#

Maybe I'm mistaken on what lore means ._.

gray bridge
#

since grass is in the sky i don't think it's that impossible that leaves could exist, but definitely much more difficult than on the ground

swift helm
#

But i think leaves is useless tho in sky

lethal stump
#

how are they useless ? the tree needs energy somehow

mortal viper
#

i believe this tree species has clouds as leaves

hushed steeple
#

Without leafs a white trunk trees can't be alive

mortal viper
#

due to the acid rain, they probably already aren't

hushed steeple
#

Maybe
