The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday April 19 at 00:00 PDT (In 9 hours 6 minutes 27 seconds)
fast hearth
@dark oriole oi estou procurando amizades
uneven juniper
please keep discussion in english
fast hearth
Which version of android is compatible for sky?
Can i make mine compatible?
anyone with a device that can't run the game could always try an emulator on their computer, right?
upper sailBOT
Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @fast hearth. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.
fast hearth
oh
i don't see why not unless it's somehow being used to automate grinding for candles
which i can't even imagine being possible
lucid night
New here but I think it's because it would promote not playing the official version from the devs
;; sorry if I'm speaking out of turn since it was said not to discuss them
fast hearth
what about stuff like LineageOS
uneven juniper
The only way to play sky at the moment is on a compatible iOS or Android device
Sky doesn't run on emulators, and trying to obtain illegitimate copies is against the TOS
fast hearth
what about emulation makes it against the ToS
not that i plan on setting one up any time soon since my oneplus 6 runs everything i've thrown at it
since i remember back when i did use one that they usually have the play store built in
uneven juniper
If you're asking why it's against TOS that isn't something I can explain and its up to the devs discretion to explain
Sky will be available on other platforms soon by official means
fast hearth
well yes, but for the time being, allowing emulation would give more people access to the game resulting in more people installing it when it arrives on their platform, no?
uneven juniper
That access would not be legitimate or provide the experience they developed specifically for the devices available at the moment
Remember that sky is a live service, so that access needs to be regularized
fast hearth
assuming it would still be downloaded from the play store, what about the access would be illegitimate?
uneven juniper
Again, this is not something that is up to me to decide, and this isn't the right place to discuss it
What we know is that it is not available on emulators and you cannot play it without a compatible device
fast hearth
speaking of device compatibility, any plans on chromebook support? a bigger screen would be nice
and i figure that'll probably happen sooner than the PC release
static ridge
Emulators are not supported nor allowed. end of discussion.
fast hearth
what about chromebook support
static ridge
No chromebook support since there's not a PC version at this time.
fast hearth
so wait would i have to install it on linux eventually then?
static ridge
When we reach the point of developing for PC, I'll have more answers.
fast hearth
so if i'm understanding right, basically the doors aren't being opened to support chromebooks as devices in the android version because controls haven't been developed for keyboard and mouse inputs, yes?
would it be possible to only lock support to specific chromebook models with the power to run it (and potentially only touchscreen models)?
i was planning on just hooking up a controller to mine since that's usually how i play on my phone anyway
static ridge
Controls for touch screen and controllers are currently supported, keyboard+mouse isn't supported at this time, the button-mapping hasn't been worked on yet.
fast hearth
so then would it be feasible to only open up support for chromebook models that have a touchscreen or is there no easy way to do that
static ridge
ChromeOS doesn't fall under Android OS.
it's currently not supported and that's about as far as I can explain.
modifying game files to make it work on other platforms is against ToS.
fast hearth
right, but android is integrated into every recent chromebook
static ridge
doesn't mean we've developed for it.
which we haven't
so I can't really provide support or answer inquiries on it.
fast hearth
i can definitely understand tech support being a nightmare
has anyone tried running it on one yet
static ridge
you can play sky on iOS or Android OS compatible phones and tablets, that's it
fast hearth
right, but i'm wondering whether or not there would be any hurdles to getting it running on chromebooks using the integrated android OS besides the models that lack a touchscreen
has anyone tried running it?
static ridge
it's not supported so my assumption is no.
keen dock
I reckon Chromebook support will either never be a thing or maybe way way ahead in the future
Mostly due to graphics APIs
fast hearth
I'm not too familiar with how it handles that bit
keen dock
I don't really see a point in porting thr game to Chromebooks tbh
The market share for those devices is very small and the work needed to make such port happen would not be worth it pretty much
fast hearth
oh sure the userbase is definitely tiny
and if it turns out to be more trouble than it's worth I can understand it not being ported
which is why I was asking how much work it would require
but a lot of the games I usually play do support it which is why I was wondering
keen dock
If you think about it, the game is coming to Switch soon, but no Ps4 or PC ports have been announced
PC is the most popular games platform alongside consoles
If nothing has been announced for PC, I wouldn't get my hopes up for chromebooks
fast hearth
well yeah but it's not a separate operating system entirely, allowing additional support in one device ecosystem isn't as big of a task as getting the PC port up and running, yeah?
prisma iris
the game has been out for less than a year, and it's already being ported to Android and Switch. Probably just need a little patience, especially as TGC is a relatively small company, with less than 50 people
fast hearth
that's completely fair
keen dock
I wish Google made ChromeOS behave more like actual Linux, simplifying things for developers
static ridge
We're also self-published so we're not privy to the extended resources of a publisher to port to less common platforms like chromebook.
fast hearth
crostini's a thing but that's still in beta
fast hearth
understandable
keen dock
Hopefully you get to play Sky on other platforms tho!
keen dock
Oh lol, thats fine
fast hearth
OnePlus is weird in that they don't really support HDMI out on the 6
keen dock
So you wanna play on a bigger screen I reckon
fast hearth
I think they added it in their newer phones?
but in any case it would've been easier on my eyes to use a larger screen instead of squinting at my phone especially since I usually use a controller
keen dock
Hence the chromebook question?
keen dock
You could always mirror share your screen to your smart tv, though there will be a lot more latency than HDMI
Lool
fast hearth
yeah I've played around with that
the input delay kills it for me
keen dock
I figured
In that case you'll just have to upgrade to a device capable of outputting to HDMI
fast hearth
most of my options there would be a downgrade tbf
keen dock
Rip
If u happen to have a switch, you'll be able to use it in dock mode to output to your TV once Sky comes out
fast hearth
I've got a switch so yeah I'll wait on that
fast hearth
I figured the controls out fairly easily but hopefully when that goes up they'll have something always on in the HUD telling you the controls
I still for the life of me don't know what the left trigger is supposed to do
keen dock
Oof
The game tips show up from time to time
Should be the same for switch
In theory
fervent sluice
Guys someone saw this before? (sorry for the quality)
fast hearth
redeem your candle
haven't seen that one before
closest thing i can think of is that when you stand on top of the door to ||Eden|| in Home, sometimes you'll see the icon to light the portal pop up since the game registers you as being close enough to light it even though the roof of the portal building is between you and the actual portal itself
keen dock
You dont have to spoiler the word Eden
fast hearth
fair
keen dock
Just everything inside it
fast hearth
i mean i didn't realize what the door was for until i got there
fervent sluice
@fast hearth Should I report like a bug?
@keen dock I already completed the game nwn thanks
keen dock
I was just telling Cobalt that the server allows for Eden to be mentioned haha
Only what's inside Eden has to be inside spoiler tags
fervent sluice
There's not a lot of people playing in android right xd?
uneven juniper
there's quite a few 
sharp mantle
Okay so I synced my iOS progress on my phone but it keeps crashing before the second area of Forest
If I try going into other realms, it'll crash as soon as I leave the social space

Yep, hopefully it will

Hy, im use Samsung A70 and suddenly my gameplay lil bit foggy, any tips to fix this?
When i capture any screen, its clearly different from any player who use another phone
next holly
A friend of mine who uses a Samsung phone can’t find the game to download. What should I say to help him download it?
fast hearth
@crisp goblet I believe you can take screenshot using the button at the bottom right side of the screen to give you HD quality screenshot
@next holly Is your friend's phone met the minimum requirements?
stuck igloo
I need some help. If I try making in-app purchases it says "Unavailable for this purchase"
wicked cipher
@stuck igloo Are you using biometrics to make the purchase? Like fingerprint reader or face unlock?
stuck igloo
Yeah @wicked cipher
wicked cipher
There seems to be some kind of issue with the game and biometrics for purchases on Android right now, you’ll need to go the longer route and use the regular purchasing method
stuck igloo
So disable it?
wicked cipher
Idk what to tell you there, a lot of other people have been experiencing that too
Hopefully it’ll get better with more updates
fast hearth
Maybe i need a phone like galaxy s20 ultra
wicked cipher
Oof I don’t think you’d need something that expensive
But it’s not my money, you’re free to do what you want
fast hearth
Well i cant afford it so lol
wicked cipher
Ah
stuck igloo
It didn't work :( @wicked cipher
wicked cipher
Hmmmmm :-/|
stuck igloo
Still saying the same thing
wicked cipher
I only recommended doing that cause a couple different people had mentioned that was happening and disabling biometrics fixed it for them
Idk what to tell you now
You can try contacting @compact basalt and a dev will see it
They’ll know a lot more
stuck igloo
Do I have to turn off authentication or anything
I only did the biometric authentication
stuck igloo
I feel like it has something to do with play points
fast hearth
I have a question
If the new season arrives ya
Will we lose all spirit emotes and stuff which i have not found or yet collected
Its been like 3 days since i started playing
eager topaz
No. The spirits u have rn are permanent and you will never lose them
fast hearth
No which i have not found
eager topaz
Anything existing currently excluding the current traveling spirit can always be found
They won’t be removed
fast hearth
Ok ok
And the enden
Somthing
Will that exists too
The big door portal behind us
eager topaz
? Are u referring to eden?
fast hearth
Ya
eager topaz
Yes it will exist
eager topaz
Everything is nearly the same during a season time. Only that there are new spirits for u to collect!!
eager topaz
No, no new portals will appear I believe. But yes more stories
obtuse bronze
does anyone got any problem with Golden Wasteland? I often got blank screen whenever I moved between graveyards-sunken ship-last 3 krill area
it's like the loading screen doesnt do anything
checked my connection and I dont think that's the problem
fast hearth
I have a quick question its really important
So i live in india
And i got the update

fast hearth
My friend lives in canada
He didnt
So we are like not able to play togther
On his side it shows me offline
And on my screen he is in a place where i cant join him
Whats the problem
obtuse bronze
no one? then I guess it probably an issue on my phone then
stuck girder
@obtuse bronze it's a common problem i think, restarting the game resolves it most of the time
happens to me too
@fast hearth you have to be on the same version of the game to play together
fast hearth
No
obtuse bronze
@stuck girder ah I see, thank you for answering ^^
stuck girder
No
@fast hearth ??
stuck girder
wait did you download the update?
fast hearth
Yes
Its was 600 something mb
It might be because of the time and day
Becuase its 19 today here
stuck girder
if both of you are playing the same version, i'm not sure what the problem is; try restarting i guess

Hello. I'm new to this game! I want to ask a few questions!
- What are Ubers in this game and how do you ask / be an uber?
- How do you meditate?
- How can you get the red candles?
I'll ask more but that's the 3 questions that i want to know Thank you!
By the way Please ping me if you want to answer 
fast hearth
- Uber are players who offer to lead a group to do things in-game(collecting candle wax aka candle runs, going to secret areas ||office||, or going eden). You can offer to be an uber at #looking-for-group-live or just ask an uber to get you around.
- Meditate is an emote unlocked at vault, the 4-man puzzle with stone platforms
- You get red candles by ||going through eden, save statues and ascend||
@steady prism
steady prism
Oh! So that's what uber's are for! Does it cost something if you want an Uber?
By the way thank you! 
fast hearth
Uber is one of many ways to get friends quickly in this game
steady prism
2.b meditation as a quest means looking for what look like a return shrine in a realm, where you put a message depending on what's asked
Oh okay! Thank you so much!
I'll probably try to be an Uber when i completed the game!
Thank you again!
fast hearth
It's also better to have someone calling out the spots you might be missing when you're doing uber the first few times
steady prism
Cool! 
unique drift
is the game really laggy to Android or just my device isn't good enough even with low graphics?

Why is playing on emuIator is not allowed?
topaz reef
i’m sure tgc has their reasons, but we don’t discuss it here.
when it comes down to it, emulators are against Terms of Service and that’s all we need to know.
upper sailBOT
Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @topaz reef. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

My friend has an android that’s version 8.1 but the app is not in her AppStore and can’t be downloaded. Any reason why and is there a way to fix that?
fast hearth
My friend has an android that’s version 8.1 but the app is not in her AppStore and can’t be downloaded. Any reason why and is there a way to fix that?
Even if your friend meets some specs, it might be that her GPU of the phone isn't strong enough, you can check the minimum specs in pinned messages, althought she might have an android 8.1 she might not have all the minimum specs to run the game which would mean that her device isn't compatible with the game yet! ^^
misty light
Oh I see. How can she check the specs on her phone? Or should I just go on the android website, will they likely have info on there on how to find out?
fast hearth
Android user to play this game should buy a iPhone.
if you don't know how to answer someone's question please don't spread the misinformation that buying a more expensive device with less functionality would be in any way beneficial
@misty light check in the settings app
It'll be near the bottom under About Phone or something like that
https://phonearena.com is also a great tool
you just search by device and pull up the page for it
misty light
Thank you so much! That has been very helpful!
fast hearth
http://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank1.htm is also a great resource for looking at sheer device power, but that's less relevant to your question unless your friend is in the market for a new phone
cursive bloom
There are plenty of choices when it comes to buying an android that can easily run this game
Unlike iphone
fast hearth
iPhone's soc is just flat out
Unlike andro that has tons of variation from each manufacturers
cursive bloom
I'm sure the flagships can run it just as well if not even better
At least according to benchmarks
fast hearth
in theory, the one advantage you get from iOS is stability due to the much smaller number of devices that apps need to be tested on
in practice Android handles stability fine for everything I've seen
I know for a fact that every single device on the list I sent can run Sky, for instance
unless for whatever reason it's not supported
cursive bloom
I'm sure they covered their bases with all flagships
fast hearth
@fast hearth i don't answer any question. Respect my opinion like i respect yours
telling people to buy iPhones is not a helpful answer mate
Not your mate

Good day android friends! May I please know your device using right now? The ones who runs the game in FULL graphics.
fast hearth
+640 adreno
keen dock
You can check the pins in this channel to see which devices can run Sky on maximum graphics settings
(60fps)
fast hearth
a OnePlus 6 will run basically anything you throw at it
even to the point of emulating game dumps on Dolphin
If I remember right it's got a snapdragon 845
keen dock
With time, I reckon that the minimum requirements will lower and more devices will be able to run Sky on full graphics
silk pollen
I'm about to upgrade a new phone, and I'm having trouble what I want. I play SKY on a daily basis so the help for information here will let me decide what should I get.
fast hearth
anything in this list will work http://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank1.htm
next pumice
you guys know how to get high resolution? the resolution of the game in my phone is low
keen dock
Just make sure you get one of the Adreno GPUs listed in the pins
Anything from Adreno 630 and above should be absolutely fine
fast hearth
the range of devices that can run it well is much bigger than that list, to be fair
silk pollen
@fast hearth sorry but I'm currently on that list. But it never runs on 60fps nor full graphics.
keen dock
But TGC limits which devices can run the game on full graphics, even if they can
fast hearth
did you change the video settings and turn them up?
silk pollen
@keen dock Oh okay. Thanks
fast hearth
@fast hearth lol get shame on that link. Work is not the same of run
keen dock
@silk pollen do you have any devices in mind?
silk pollen
@fast hearth yep I did. Crappy really.
fast hearth
In any case I've got a OnePlus 6 and that's #34
Anything higher than that is guaranteed to work
@fast hearth if you have an issue with how antutu rates devices I think they have a contact us link somewhere on their site?
next pumice
andreno 505 can run it right? how many fps do you think it can reach?
silk pollen
@keen dock Redmi Note 9 pro / Huawei Nova 7i.
next pumice
whats the highest fps it can get?
silk pollen
@fast hearth oh okay. I currently below with it. Thanks man
next pumice
oh okiee thanksz
fast hearth
@silk pollen make sure you check any new phone you buy to see if it works with your carrier
silk pollen
Thanks mann!
fast hearth
I ended up switching off of Verizon just to use my current phone haha
although MetroPCS gives me a better deal anyway so that turned out to be a good thing
keen dock
The Redmi Note 9 Pro should be able to handle Sky but maybe not in 60fps mode
keen dock
Perhaps in the future tho
It's a matter of TGC allowing your device to go full 60fps
In theory it should be able to
If you want to make sure you will have 60fps mode available right away just buy a device with one of the GPUs from the pins section
It has to be adreno 540, 630, 640, 650 or mali g76 or g77
silk pollen
Hmmmmmm. Do you have any handsets suggestions though?
fast hearth
alternatively if you have a switch or a good PC you could just wait for that for Sky
silk pollen
@keen dock Can u please suggest one?
Budget is from the price of those handset that I posted
300$ max
stuck igloo
Did tgc remove compatibility for some devices
keen dock
Hmm alright
Lemme see
For that price it'll be difficult to find something that is compatible with 60fps mode
The Mi 9 costs $399 but it has an Adreno 640, which is compatible
You could prolly save up a bit and get that one
fast hearth
@silk pollen take a look at the pocophone f1
iirc it's about as good as the phone I have
keen dock
The Pocophone F1 has an Adreno 630 which is also compatible
Dunno how much it costs tho
keen dock
Seems fishy 
fast hearth
yeah there might be some drawbacks, not sure
take a look around the internet for reviews
silk pollen
Anyway, what do this mean?
fast hearth
ah
silk pollen
The following GPUs are capable of 60fps, "this list is not exhaustive"
"This list is not exhaustive"
I don't get it at all
fast hearth
it means you have a LOT more options than the stuff they listed
keen dock
It means there might be other GPUs capable of 60fps
fast hearth
those are just some GPUs that work, not all
keen dock
But those are certified to work
silk pollen
@fast hearth so most probably others is also supported by 60fps?
fast hearth
my phone has a Snapdragon 845 and that gets 60
keen dock
But you dont know which until you buy lol
fast hearth
yeah
silk pollen
@keen dock sheeeeez
keen dock
The gpu is what counts for 60fps
silk pollen
my gpu suck bro, even the admin itself make it clear
keen dock
I meant to ask Cobalt haha
He mentioned his CPU
My suggestion for you would be the Mi9
I'm skeptical about the Pocophone
silk pollen
keen dock
Or you could just buy a switch for under $300
silk pollen
This is my GPU. I was shy as hell
keen dock
I'm not an expert on Mali GPUs so I can't tell if it's good or not for Sky
fast hearth
oh my bad I got them mixed up
yeah it has an Adreno 630
oops
I have no idea how I got it into my head that the snapdragon was the GPU
keen dock
Same GPU as with the Note 9 Pro.. it might do 60fps but might also not..
lament depot
Hello. Does Sky support any PowerVR GPU yet?
If not, is there any plan of adding compatibility for PowerVR GPUs in the upcoming days?
north pasture
Redmi note 8 pro gives 60 fps on hd
And its budget phone too, you might want to check it out

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @noble cipher. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

I could technically play it via Samsung DeX probably and enable one touch mode, but it wouldn't be mapped to keys so that would be pointless

If you cannot find Sky in the Play Store through search, it's likely your device is not compatible. You can click this direct link to double check: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tgc.sky.android

dreamy plinth
is there going to possibly be something that opens up more android devices to be able to play sky?
like, a port i mean
topaz reef
it’s possible, since tgc is continuing to optimise, but if your device isn’t compatible now then it’s unlikely it’ll become compatible later.
glossy temple
Considering the fact that Sky is very graphics intensive it is very unlikely it would become available on mid-range and low-end Android devices. You can only optimize your game so much until you hit unwanted compromises on the experience.

Hello guys
Hey I want to ask something
Isn't there a way to play the game with music on Android?

Like my own music

!beatsbyelder
upper sailBOT
The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky. You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! (iOS only, until it's implemented for android)
fast hearth
wonder how that would work on PC/Switch
ripe elbow
so...
meager raft
Well you can’t play external audio on a switch so that’s not an issue there
fast hearth
that is the issue
ripe elbow
Guess I'll ask a different question... how does the graphic settings work for devices that are fully compatible with the game, like does it go from low to 30 fps then to 60 fps graphics?

my phone has Sky set to high performance, b/c graphics aren't the world to me
it used to run, I guess at 30 fps
I noticed a changed when I switched to high performance, as it became MUCH smoother in gameplay
so, yea, I assume it raises to 60
which I believe is the gaming standard
topaz reef
there’s 4 graphics settings: battery saver mode, 30 fps, 30fpa with boosted def, and 60fps
ripe elbow
Mines a little different then I guess?
opaque moth
how so?
ripe elbow
Mine goes from energy saving mode, 30 fps, 60 fps, then high definition 30 fps
topaz reef
if your device isn’t powerful enough, some higher settings won’t be selectable
mine is like that too
60fps would probably damage our devices if it tried to run it
ripe elbow
As I have a Razer Phone 2, I thought it could at the very least handle 60 fps right?
topaz reef
it depends on a lot of factors
there’s some info on recommended specifications in the pinned messages of this channel
opaque moth
mine can run the fps 60, so I set it to that for smooth gameplay and less stutters
so ye, your device might not be able to handle the higher settings, but it depends on what you have

@ripe elbow that’s how it is on iOS too, there’s no such thing as 60 FPS high def, just 30 FPS high def or 60 FPS regular def

Eh? I thought there was a 60 fps high def since the clouds were still a bit iffy. Or is it that the clouds are just messy with some devices?

Hi all! New member here. Started playing three days ago. A few odd things:
- My avatar is larger than default (friend pointed it out) no resize spells/potions taken
- My avatar lets go of other avatars' hands during transitions
Are these android issues hahaha

Pretty sure the transition part is normal for some areas
bold cloud
Heights are random, in #questions-and-help there is a height chart in the pins and you likely rolled tallest natural height when u made ur sky kid
They're all born with different heights. Even average/medium height kids vary slightly
- If it is after certain cutscenes (like not skipping first rainy cutscene in forest quick enough, turning off the rain in forest or vault elevator) then that happens to everyone. If it is after a map change then hmm... Not really normal. Might warrant a bug report if it is frequent

It was always 20

rn i only one one thing from this season & i aint spendin £10 on the game jus for that so im gonna try and wait and see if they appear in that spot wen seasons over

well im willin to wait that long...
will it be the same seasons next year or r they gon change em?

every season will be new
that's why we have traveling spirits, so you still have a chance to get old seasonal items

Android devices all have different specs. Devices with the same name can still have different specs in different countries. Depending on the specs, a device might not be able to run 60 fps. So in short: it depends
Maybe check the pinned messages for minimum specs?

i ran the specs on the phone the other time you asked
topaz reef
Cobalt, are you just basing that on the gpu of the device? because i don't think that would confirm that it can run sky at 60fps, according to this message in the pins:
The following GPUs are capable of 60fps, this list is not exhaustive:
+Adreno 540
+Adreno 630
+Adreno 640
+Adreno 650
+Mali-G76
+Mali-G77
some versions of these GPUs are not 60fps-capable
topaz reef
i'm not an expert, so i don't know if having a gpu with a certain amount of power guarantees it'll run at 60fps. but i'd be a little cautious, since i hear compatibility can be complicated. again i'm no expert tho.
fast hearth
if you check the chart both the CPU and GPU are rated higher
so it's basically guaranteed
and if is not?
then the people running the benchmarks are high or something
but all jokes aside they're a really good source for comparing phones
nothing to worry about

Quick question
My friend has Samsung galaxy a8
And she has android version 9.0
And sky doesnt work for her
I read that 8.0 and up is needed for android users to play
And she cant play, still says it isnt compatible
topaz reef
android 8.1 or later is required, but there are other things that factor in like gpu. there's info on minimum required specifications in the pinned messages of this channel
topaz reef
in that case, maybe this info will help:
There is a known issue with Google Play sometimes showing devices as not compatible when they really are. Give the following steps a shot:
-Pull down the notification bar on your Android device and hit the gear-shaped settings icon, or find “Settings” in the application tray.
-Navigate to Apps, or App Manager.
-Scroll down and find Google Play Store.
-Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data.
-Restart Google Play Store and try reinstalling Sky
i did some searching, and there are several people from this server who use a galaxy s8 and sky runs fine for them, so i think it must be a problem with google not recognising its compatibility properly.

i don't think so, according to the pinned messages in this channel

I mean i can run any game on highest settings 60fps si its capable i think... Well i mean it could be supported at sole futur update

i did a quick google search, and it looks like adreno 618 is actually less powerful than adreno 540. i'm not an expert tho lol.

60fps capability would depend on how resource-intensive the game is, afaik.

only one version of the galaxy j7 prime is supported and that's the on7xltechn model.
pearly, your question about the 9t pro was answered by thathelpbot, the answer has not changed. the Pro version of the 9t is 60fps, the non-pro version is not.
the LGE stylo 4 is not compatible
There is one version of the Galaxy A8 that is not compatible so I'd need more information about the device's model to verify.

tbh we can look at it this way too: there’s so many android devices to optimize unlike ios. GPU requirements are pretty demanding too but I really respect TGC for trying to bring sky to as many people as possible
iron karma
Does android support HDR mode and High-Quality Audio Mode? If the hardware is capable enough?
bold cloud
if they didn’t care about bringing sky to so many people, they would have made the requirement cut off even higher or made sky compatible to less devices or stayed on ios
there are some bumps in the road but they are working on it.
I’m not sure tbh, it would be up to your devices for quality ingame graphics. As far as I’ve heard, some higher end phones like the pixel have no problem playing at 60fps

There are no audio settings at all but as for HDR, Sky will look about the same for any device, regardless of how powerful it is

There are no options to disable bloom, motion blur, etc. (And motion blur is quite a pain)
Those cost performance
Though other than that it's alright
viscid sky
I'm saying how all of those can run fairly on mobile devices
bold cloud
tbh I wonder if it is the amount of clouds causing people to crash in forest... perhaps get a buddy and make sure they’re on the 2nd map of forest and try warping to them via friend constellation. skip social space/courtyard 1
viscid sky
It's definitely the clouds
viscid sky
Probably marching cloud algorithms, or the abundance of animals

viscid sky
The birds(????)

Nope
iron karma
Welp thisskygame makes any android games ads ( not sky ) that prerendered looks like it could be made with that graphics but they just decided to not put into the game
Sky game is just amazing its physics effects and etc
bold cloud
RIP. 2nd map in there are no clouds, mostly forest but fingers crossed for the active rainfall. hopefully that doesn’t cause crashes

Any tips for the cheapest phone with adreno 540?
If I understand correctly, adreno 540 is the worst from the list "supporting 60 fps" right
For nerds:
||chipset: Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 (14 nm)
CPU: Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53
GPU: Adreno 506||
And I have around stable 30 fps with battery saver mode. When I switch to default mode, it drops to 10-20 fps..
Xiaomi mi A2 Lite.

obtuse nebula
what gpu has the xiaomi mi 9t?
keen dock
Can you not go to the $300's?
keen dock
The Mi9 Lite has a Snapdragon 710 with Adreno 616, for $300
Which is slightly more powerful
granite lagoon
Ooo

If I only didn't buy my phone for 150$ and saved up a little more
obtuse nebula
I notice that a lot of people have a xiaomi device in this server
granite lagoon
Yeah true it's almost new
obtuse nebula
I would like to save more money for the pro version of the mi 9t

The Mi10 sounds neat

I hate hole punch screens
granite lagoon
I like notch on screens lol

keep in mind that the adreno numbering system makes no sense
for example
the benchmark for the 540 is significantly higher than the 610. which seems counterintuitive...but that's a question for Qualcomm, who makes Adreno GPUs
keen dock
Theres a lot of things involved with benchmarks
keen dock
I'd avoid that
granite lagoon
Yeah
keen dock
I'd just save up until I could get the device i needed
and ultimately wanted
Its worth it in the long run
granite lagoon
The bad thing is, that I bought a good phone and after 5 months there are way more powerful devices for the same price..
So I feel robbed lol

Thats technology for ya :p
