beta-season-test-chat

[orchid knot]

Wait you're right.....

[rich silo]

what I wanna know is if the instrument thing is the ye olde [you have to own the item to play it] or you can give people old ults to play
because the figurine and mannequin didn't work that way

[orchid knot]

I hope it can be toggled to off by default cause it was on automatically earlier, I don't mind friends visiting but I'd like to be able to go into my nest myself and have a moment to prepare rather than just suddenly friends are right there 😭

Sof said this earlier about the instrument thing so I'm guessing it's only instruments we own?

[rich silo]

we can test later after I get the thing? I'm going to run eden for the 3rd time this week 🏃

[orchid knot]

Ohhh update, my nest was closed to friends now so I guess it's dependent on what you had as your last session, maybe I had it open the session before the doot or something and it picked up on that..... I'll have to keep testing it a bit to see

[rich silo]

I would imagine that's the case

[tulip veldt]

Just opening up a rug shop

[orchid knot]

RUGS EVERYWHERE

[lavish matrix]

/sneaks in

[orchid knot]

basically yeah if you pull the lever whilst holding hands with a friend they should be left outside, they'd have to pull the lever themselves to get into the nest you're joining, but I really have to check about warping to friends and stranger/blocked warp cause that was a thing in previous builds

[rich silo]

wait that means we can't do the funny pull the lever kronk anymore to kick friends out 😔
like what happens if people are in the nest with you then you toggle friend visiting off

[lavish matrix]

Ohhh hm interesting

[orchid knot]

I'm mad at myself also because I didn't buy all the rugs before the rotation stuff came in so now I have to wait to make my happy little rug corner

[rich silo]

but bubba you have the massive beeg circle rug you have all the power

[orchid knot]

hmmm I'm sure Von used the lever and it kicked me out earlier but then also I was in my nest and they were in theirs but we overlapped somehow and it was a whole thing

come online and try yeet me out your nest with the lever!

Wait nvm you're dying have fun!

[orchid knot]

I really love the beeg rug but I need the lil circle ones to do the cute overlaps

[rich silo]

bubba imagine if they let us place two of the small circles we would be able to make a cwow on the floor

[waxen oyster]

I wanna make a pillow fort

[orchid knot]

what do you mean cooldown for player creations is lowered to 30 seconds now cries in 4 hour shared space run the other day

[rich silo]

you did what you could, bubba
wait can we do the friggin
can we use emotes in SS preview mode again
currently waiting to die in pnr so can't check

[orchid knot]

the wheel is going so fast weeeeee

omg shared space shrines count towards the quest too, that's so handy cause live me is not rolling in shared space spells at all

[urban coral]

I bought the music thing

[rich silo]

can I borrow your skid for the log
thank you!! you can hop on later cuz I'm like, on path to orbit rn

[urban coral]

ok just ping me when your done

[orchid knot]

who said the ghosts had been banished? I still have them waving in my hallway

[cosmic brook]

Hi Sky folks, do any of you know if the nests/homes that we build in the next season are a permanent fixture or just for the season? I’ve just been watching @dusk willow next season video and if it’s probably only for the season, I might give it a miss.

[orchid knot]

The nests are permanent, the seasonal furniture (wooden) will follow the same pattern as usual seasonal items where they leave after the season ends, but the stone furniture in the workshop is permanent. Also please don't cold ping fellow members

[cosmic brook]

I’m sorry I don’t know what cold ping i. Discord is not my native language so I apologise if I’ve done something wrong

[rich silo]

@orchid knot [insert that emote you use with the owo cat and eye beams]

cold ping is when you ping (@) someone out of nowhere unprompted!

[upbeat stirrup]

Hallo, Im having a question! Can the 160 eden candle next season wardrobe be used by other people when placed or only the owner of it?

[rich silo]

the 180 AC thingo can be used by anyone!

[urban coral]

it looks like and functions like the one in the nest?

[orchid knot]

That's okay! It basically means when you @ somebody they get a notification, in general it's a courtesy thing to try not to ping people who aren't already in the chat

[orchid knot]

oh wait

fixed it

[urban coral]

ahh saw the pics in #beta-screenshots-videos too bad. It would look cooler as something else

I was hoping it would look like a home/social space closet

[orchid knot]

So are we all making a pact to place the closet chest in shared spaces all over the realms so we have place to change? We gotta do it for the moths

[maiden basin]

That closet chest is game changing, I love it if I go with friends to grandma and a few forget their fire props I can simply place it on the floor so they can look for their items

[urban coral]

@maiden basin what happens if you change the back prop? do you lose the closet

or only after you change realms?

[orchid knot]

omg omg the instrument prop thing on our backs is so cute!!!

[rich silo]

RIGHT?! IT'S SO GOOD

[urban coral]

hope the other ones get the same treatment

[orchid knot]

I want that but like when we place it in our nest and it's not in use it should look like that because INSTRUMENT TRUNK UWU

[rich silo]

it really looks like the closet dresser right now is super placeholder praying for an upgrade 🙏
cuz the mannequin and instrument displayer have their own unique back item

[urban coral]

I wish we could place more than one of these and the figurines and the mannequin in our nest.

[maiden basin]

Just tested it, if it's a placeable prop and you place the other one yes, you'll lose the closet. If it's a holding prop like a plush or a musical instrument, it stays on the floor so you can change it back to not lose it

[urban coral]

so no quick changes to my camp :(

[orchid knot]

imagine if the friends can visit your nest when you're not there meant that you'd go back to empty cups and plushies everywhere

[urban coral]

I was hoping you could go there when friend is not home. wanna sneaky see some friends places but not, ya know, actually say hi...lol

[orchid knot]

I'm assuming you can only do it if they toggle it to friends can visit

[urban coral]

no. they have to be home too

[rich silo]

oh really? have you tested this

[urban coral]

i dont see anybody in my visitable nests when my friends are not on

[rich silo]

is your nest open right now I can come test

[orchid knot]

could be they haven't set them to open

[urban coral]

mine is open and im not on... feel free to test

[rich silo]

it says no friends in their Nests
okay log on let's see if I can visit if you're on and nest open but you're not in there

[urban coral]

ok im on

[rich silo]

still says no friends in their nests
I think basically it means the toggle can stay on and so like, it makes it easier for people to warp immediately? if you want others to visit your nest and go there together

[urban coral]

you have to be in your nest for people to visit tho

[rich silo]

yeah the assumption people had was if you toggled it, they could visit even if you weren't there but that doesn't seem to be the case

[orchid knot]

It was a separate note though so I assumed it meant friends can just visit your nest when you're not around

[rich silo]

OH I CAN USE THE EMOTE MENU IN EDITING PREVIEW MODE AGAIN HALLELUJAH
I CAN PLACE ITEMS UPSIDE DOWN ON LOW BLOCKS AGAIN LET'S GO

[urban coral]

I can see it both ways. maybe you dont want friends just lounging around your stuff

[orchid knot]

it's just cause doot note said both

• friends can visit setting persists across sessions/when you leave nest (so like when you go back it'll still be friends can visit until you turn it off)
  AND
• player can go to a friend's nest when friend isn't there

[urban coral]

hmmm... maybe a typo. or "coming soon"

[orchid knot]

it would feel weird to me to just sit in someone's nest when they're not there unless they've said I can (steals fox from Cy)

[rich silo]

or maybe it's a bug that it's not working as intended 🤔

[urban coral]

yeah. or come home and somebody in your bathtub 👀

[orchid knot]

never placing a bath in my nest, but imagine coming home from a long candle run to find ya homies eating all your left over wax buns from grandma and drinking all your juice, watching your mirror tv like it's their own crib

[maiden basin]

What would happen if you're in a friend's nest and they log out and may a friend join you even if the nest owner is offline?

[rich silo]

it would probably kick you from the nest

[open sparrow]

~~What are you doing in my swamp ~~

[urban coral]

are all back props not placable in the nest? my Camp doesnt work on walls ceiling or floor. only the one in edit mode. not the one on my back :(

[orchid knot]

Speaking of nests, I threw myself out with the cat turns out they haven't patched that yet and now I live outside I guess

[urban coral]

Can the bath be placed on the ceiling? Physics be damned?

[rich silo]

I can place it on the wall
you can infact place it upside down it is possible

[urban coral]

thats why I asked bout the back props. need the camp to get oob but then cant get in edit mode

[orchid knot]

the fact they've added water to it has simply granted me a way to now tell my friends to get in the soup mid candle run

[rich silo]

can I also just say I'm so glad the items that were removed from the featured section that were there originally in the first build are back I HAVE SHELF POWER LETS GO

[orchid knot]

I'm not sure how others have been editing out there honestly, I think you can get through the window as a chibi but I've never been able to - others have just used shared spaces I think

[urban coral]

its wide open spaces out there. hope they dont add a reset

[unkempt flower]

Hiya Beta chat — Yippee for new update! Because the last one failed to mention a slight price change, or the one before that where it was previously all hearts got changed to a mismatch of every currency available (besides tickets,) any distinguishable price alterations yet or should we start to believe everything is probably going to be set in stone for Live?

[orchid knot]

well most of us can only see one or two items in the shop so it's hard to say for certain

[urban coral]

are the other 2 the ones the quest giver "gave" us?

didnt they give us like a table and chair?

[rich silo]

yeah table chair and rug

[urban coral]

so maybe a rotation of 4? for the 4 display spots?

[rich silo]

they removed the mega sink from the featured prop list
(can you guys tell how much I use the workshop ss lol)

[orchid knot]

iirc the pillow was a free item when everything appeared in the shop all at once, don't remember about the table, but the other two items on display the shelf and chair are both in my shop for candle and ac

[urban coral]

yeah. I have the pillow and table in my closet. and I havent bought any items from the shop

weird that they would show up tho. who can buy them?

unless you can buy more in the future to place more copies in your nest/spaces

[rich silo]

theeee
the stepladder-like wooden shelf thing has vanished from the prop inventory if you obtained it previously

I don't see it in SS or closet

[orchid knot]

booooo the pillow and table both cost candles now, I guess no freebies other than the stool at the start

[rich silo]

does anyone else have the item

[orchid knot]

which item?

Oh the wooden shelf step thingo? I have it in my nest

[rich silo]

does it show up in your closet list?

[orchid knot]

it's on the shop display too still, speaking of, why can we sit in the display bath 😭 you'd get wrong for that in IKEA

[ionic pendant]

It's still present in my nest too, I'll get on and check. ^_^;

[gaunt solar]

Honestly all I want right now is the hanging cloud things that were in the Cinnamoroll shop. I want to fill my Nest ceiling with hanging cloud lamps ☁️

[orchid knot]

no it doesn't

[maiden basin]

Same as Bubba, it's still in my nest; not on my closet

[rich silo]

thank you!!
I think that's a bug report ya'll

[ionic pendant]

Oh weird, yeah not in my closet or my decorating inventory. ^_^;

[naive jacinth]

I'm looking at the bed... Imagine if it had wheels. CR on the bed

[orchid knot]

I knew they made the garlic bigger

[rich silo]

they 100% made the garlic bigger you gotta assert stinky breath dominance

[orchid knot]

it's to keep the crabulas away from our nests

[rich silo]

the moment I noticed the forest elder painting frame I was like god I've been building wayyyyy too much

[spiral lodge]

Rip massive burnt corpse 😔🙏 you wont be forgotten

[rich silo]

You mean the original back prop for the figurine? It's back and a smaller burnt corpse on the mannequin now

[spiral lodge]

yay

Omg it’s actually not cursed 💀💀

[frozen quest]

Hi friends, can we see at night in the nest? I only see sunrise and sunset there

[maiden basin]

Yup! Should be night rn

[delicate echo]

@flint chasm answering this #beta-screenshots-videos message
are you on pc? my friend is having the same issue on pc but it's normal for me on phone

[flint chasm]

I'm playing on Android phone..

[grand mirage]

is there a mannequin on the secondary nesting quests? (where you get the closet and instrument stand)

[crisp cedar]

Morning beta chat

Question for you guys! I have the log bath on my ceiling at the moment and it's now filled with water. How does the water manage to stay in the log bath and not flood my nest?

[grand mirage]

Is the manequin kind of an outfit saver thingy?

like the ult gift

[zealous charm]

Einstein was never born in this world, therefore gravity doesn’t exist duh ||/s||

[cosmic vine]

kind of, but not really

• it only saves the cape, the neck and hair accessories, and the hair
• you can't interact with it to put the clothes its wearing on

[grand mirage]

so kinda just a reminder, but not automatic, still useful tho

[cosmic vine]

well, you can't really use it for anything, really, it's just decor (still a very nice one though)

[rich silo]

if they let us set the stance for the cape it would be extra funny and versatile but nooo

[rich silo]

there's like 2k different heights in sky though how would that work

I feel like you could just as easily make your own height calculator if you stack combinations of items together
still a fun idea though, you can send that to feedback

it kind of reminds me of how in minecraft you can use blocks + snow layers to see how high your horse can jump, you can kind of do the same with the items in sky

it shows up in the same way as it does on desktop, you tap the @ OFF

[rich silo]

ahh just had an idea
you could use the prophecy stickers (if they didn't glow so brightly ) and line them up on the wall, that would also make good measurement lines :0c

[shy rock]

Would be nice if we could teleport directly to our nests, like we can our designated home space

[cloud ocean]

Honestly, I expected that as a feature maybe at the end of all the quests?

[rich silo]

@shy rock you gotta put your sconces on the floor as slippers to keep feet warm!! (literally)

@grizzled lichen the mannequin copies your outfit, it doesn't take the items off
also as far as I'm aware, the invisible cape can't actually be feasibly put on the mannequin, only true capeless is possible (like if you placed the thing in orbit)

[grizzled lichen]

Welp I guess I will be going to feedback once it’s in live

[rich silo]

wdym when it's live you can just #beta-feedback
you don't have to be a tester to give feedback

[grizzled lichen]

ohhh thank you

[rich silo]

ah to explain
once you copy your outfit onto the mannequin, it stays that way unless you delete and replace it
so you can set up a specific assortment of items on the mannequin, put it down, then change to something else and like that's it

[shy rock]

those sconces sure are versatile! loving your creativity as always

[rich silo]

improvise
adapt
overcome
🫵

[orchid knot]

Tako big hugs to you!

[rich silo]

I do wanna know, what does the invis cape look like on the mannequin
does it just become the moth cape?

[grizzled lichen]

Tako Your story both warmed and broke my heart

TW: death
||I’m glad you keep a place for your friend in your game, like an tribute that you keep with you||

[shy rock]

Thank you both!

TW: Death
||It's okay, we both came to accept it, it's a natural conclusion to life and it comes to everyone. He was happy to make a best friend, i'm glad I could be there for him during those final months.||

Ah cy, i'm actually out now but I can check later when I get home! I think it actually does display as invisible after the latest update? But i'll have to double check and make sure.

[rich silo]

@finite anchor SPIDER IS LOVE, SPIDER IS ETERNAL 🫵

[finite anchor]

I MISS THAT BUG SM

[rich silo]

I KNOW IT WAS SO GOOD

[shy rock]

LMAO THE SPIDER

[rich silo]

I would have been more powerful if I had your original photo compilation of poses but alas
your LOVE spelling one was sufficient

it makes me want another creature outfit even more tbh
we've just had regular people clothes up until now 😔

[crisp cedar]

I won't be able to check till later, but has anyone tried placing the days of love boat in a tub of water? Does it work?

[cosmic vine]

couldn't get it to work with any tub 😔

[queen arch]

Rugs can be stacked

Oh boy here comes the fun

[cosmic vine]

oh wait I just remembered the workshop display is a thing

welp, no boating on the big tub either

[waxen oyster]

The purpose of beta feedback is so that the devs have time to fix or change things before they get to live

Tub and basin “water” is not really water, it’s just a color lol

[grizzled lichen]

That’s one hell of a ping you’re right, just assumed that I couldn’t feedback since I wasn’t a beta tester

[crisp cedar]

That's too bad. Thanks for checking for me!

[somber oyster]

You don’t need to be a tester to send in #beta-feedback, feel welcome to do so if you have thoughts on what’s currently being tested!

[rich silo]

wait karik couldn't you make a ceiling rug out of pillows....like the feast one
I shall dm 🏃

[brave tangle]

I mean not really becasue you cant wear the outfit on it so i think its more like a decor

[haughty plume]

It's ironic to me that we can wear the outfit on the tiny miniature skykid but not the outfit on the skykid sized mannequin

[brave tangle]

For real its so weird xd i thought we would be able to wear it but no, and we cant even change the outfit on them just in edit mode, i wonder if its this is how its intended or its bugged tho

[rich silo]

one's an ult and one's a permanent item sooo

[somber oyster]

How do you guys feel about the closet update / ability to carry the furniture around and place them in the realms? 👀

[high atlas]

I find it absolutely hilarious that we can have a whole painting on our back

[rich silo]

I thought it was going to be added in the first place, it just took a while because it's so many items

[past robin]

I don’t know that I feel one way or the other about it, but that’s probably because I never take off my bonfire in live I’m not upset that it’s an option. Could be fun for big groups of friends…could be a way to design something together.

[rich silo]

Low-key now I want a placeable display like the instrument one now
Like yes I want a floating oven

[cursive hemlock]

So where is Days of Bloom located?

[gilded jasper]

In Sky live prairie peaks not beta since the event is already passed

[somber oyster]

Doot!!

[cursive hemlock]

Ouhhhh,oop. Makes sense why I can’t find it. Thank you.

[inner laurel]

Should I get the season pass for this season? I saw the outfit and the cape and I was just wondering if it was worth it
I'm not too big on props so I thought about skipping it

[somber oyster]

It all depends on what your preferences are! I suggest trying out the items, and the quests this season in Live and then making your decisions

Honestly it’s hard to give a good “yes or no” answer in beta because were mainly looking for bugs, and not to actually play the game like we do in Live

[inner laurel]

Gotcha gotcha, ty

[gilded jasper]

Two questions about boards items:

1. can we use the wardrobe out of shared spaces now and did it have all our wardrobe or just some stuff we choose? Can it be used by everyone if we place it?
2. can the mannequin (99AC) be placed too out of shared spaces and what we can do with it?

I’m out of AC in beta so I can’t test them XD

[somber oyster]

I think I saw someone place the closet prop outside of shared spaces! I don’t have the AC so I can’t test either

#beta-screenshots-videos message (thatskymoon)

In other news, the red dot is finally gone 😭

[shy rock]

1. Cy, I can confirm that invisible cape does make the mannequin capeless!

2. Y'all, I just spent like 3 hours decorating my nest, only to decide that I don't like how it looks and start from scratch. Why does the room have to be shaped so awkwardly?

[urban coral]

Anybody else nest not working after the update? It just empty and I can’t edit anything :( oop it came back

[shy rock]

Nobody here happens to have a blueprint of our nests do they?

[delicate echo]

Why is mine still there 😭😭😭

[tulip veldt]

if you bought furniture you have to go in there and touch all of it

[somber oyster]

Update your game! (And check every tab)

[delicate echo]

Omg I didn't realise there was a doot

[urban coral]

Finally figured out how to put the nest items oob :D once you get out you can access the edit button from the other side of the wall from outside. Roof top hot tub baby! Hope they don’t add a reset barrier :/

[tulip veldt]

welp getting 15 things from the workshop is gonna take a while

[urban coral]

Oof… I can even afford the 3

[storm violet]

Just in case if y'all don't wanna publish 15 shared spaces, you can go to your nest and step in and out of decoration mode 15 times

[orchid knot]

BACK IN MY DAY-

[frozen flax]

Hi! I don’t see if someone did the same question. But if yes, sorry. A person told me if we click in the action figure (supreme item) we can use the outfit the owner of it uses. If it is true, someone who doesn’t have a special item, like Aurora’s cape, can use this cape too and with the teleport power of this? Like, the same that happens inside the shop if we use the 9 color cape

[urban coral]

I don’t think it will equip items you don’t own.

[storm violet]

I just entered a shared space that had the figurine and it didn't equip items i didn't have

[urban coral]

It’s a lil weird acting all around tho. It doesn’t take off or put on my elder mask. And it won’t equip the invisible cape. Even tho both show on the figurine

[storm violet]

If you don't have them in your closet, they won't equip

[urban coral]

I have them both. It’s my figurine

[storm violet]

You should report it then-

[shell fossil]

Hey all, quick correction to make from yesterday's update post: visitors can not come to your Nest while you're offline. Apologies for the mistake; post has been updated.

[shell fossil]

Quick double check—folks are no longer seeing the different player creations in their Nests that were visible in earlier beta builds, correct?

[high atlas]

Went to check, and yes they're no longer there!

[urban coral]

You mean the memories and stuff? Then no. I’m not seeing that in my nest anymore

Every time I’m ready to take some nice pictures the daylight in Aviary (or my nest) changes to that orange crush of evening and ruins my best laid plans :( oh how I’d love a way to have a little control over the lighting like OG home. They better never get rid of it for just the consistency of the closet colors for my pics

[tulip veldt]

i do not see any memories in my nest anymore

[rain fulcrum]

Giving ❤️s is bugged

[slate condor]

Has anyone else been able to collect candles? Or collect lights/hearts from the constellation? I'm on Android. It was broken before, but now the most recent update seems very broken.

[warm ocean]

I have been able to without issues, also Android (Pixel 7/ Android 13)

[orchid knot]

not the "available in less than one minute" curse again

[rich silo]

i’m now building the chicken i’ve wanted to build in the first place and man not being able to place more sconces is a crime

[orchid burrow]

I feel like the dresser is so big, but it would be funnier if the size increased the more cosmetics you have

[delicate echo]

The prop that displays a music instrument of your choice always change back to the ocarina whenever I leave and return to my nest

[rich silo]

ohh thank you for testing!!

[tidal sentinel]

Ayo beta chat, I have a question!
If you equipped a dresser and place it, can you use it to equip a different prop?
If you can, can you equip a placeable and place it?

[rich silo]

yes

[tidal sentinel]

Yes to what? xD

Wait, so if I equip a dresser, and then use it to equip a torch, I can place down the torch??

[tidal sentinel]

Yooo I'm sorry but for 180 ascended candles this is a STEAL

Thanks for answering 🙏

[rich silo]

as far as I know, hair is free, everything else pass locked for cosmetics

as usual stuff can get shuffled don't take it as like FinalFinalFinal.png

[lusty flax]

surely the next quest is available in less than one minute....

[brave tangle]

I tried this and it made me crash actually xd but the dresser disappeared for me

[tidal sentinel]

Oh rip

[calm spoke]

Anyone knows if i'm using the dresser i will able to place another props without the dresser deasapear?

[rich silo]

I think that was just addressed in chat above

[brave tangle]

Yeah it disappears if you place something else

[shy rock]

Is there a particular reason back items aren't included on the figurine? It mildly bothers me, I hope they add back items to it.

[rich silo]

well, you would have to have the figurine equipped to put it down so
it would copy the cookie on your back? and I don't think everyone wants that

[shy rock]

Ah yeah that makes sense! I was just thinking of like shared space/nest instances, I kinda forgot you can place it outside of those.

[rich silo]

well when you're in decorate mode all props are disabled you can't do anything with them so

[sonic cradle]

to be able to move furniture without my kids face or body blocking the view is great. I hope there are also people who find it troublesome

[rich silo]

me who's built like 50+ things since the season started:
tbh the worst thing that happened was when emotes were disabled during preview mode, now THAT was bad

[sonic cradle]

you were so creative based on what I recently saw through the photos you've sent

[rich silo]

yeah the point is like
if your skid is blocking the view, then there are ways to work around it or just build more smartly

[sonic cradle]

I didn't bother using emotes. I never knew that

[rich silo]

you don't need to reply to every single message I send chat is slow enough to keep track.
preferably if you do, turn the ping off (top right of chat)

[sonic cradle]

oh I'm sorry, I usually turn this off

[rich silo]

but yeah one trick I use sometimes is like
you switch to preview mode, then use slouch level 3 or sit x3 times to lie down, then switch back to decorate and it helps move the skid out of the way or lets you place things under objects that are very low
or change to chibi height when you're building, that also helps

there is another trick that relies more on having spatial awareness but like
the camera will always want to "back up" against the farthest object from what you're looking at
so sometimes if you move it around, you can get the camera to move into a place where it's not supposed to be, but it can

and sometimes the answer to placing objects is to set up other blocks first so you can put it down in reverse if it's not going the way you want it to, and then turning it in another direction so it clips (this is totally not making sense unless you do it in practice but trust me knowing that trick makes you feel sneaky )

like if you want a certain placement, set up other items first for orientation, then delete them after

[rich silo]

tangentially, if your skid is wearing cosmetics that take up a lot of space, change what you're wearing to something that won't take up a lot of space either, like shorter hairstyles or capes
shorter clothes

change it for the sake of being able to see better when you build, then just change back

[shy rock]

My nest is missing a bathroom. But I don't really mind that my nest doesn't have a bathroom at all because we have a body of water right outside.

#beta-screenshots-videos message

I hope this means they're considering enabling ts back in both locations?

I hope they expand the prop limit a little more, kinda sucks that it just sorta cuts off at a certain number. I placed 1 extra prop in my nest and found out that was the last thing I could place.

[rich silo]

Me crying at the reduced item count as is
LET ME USE MOAR

[waxen oyster]

Why’s there no toilet among the furniture 🤔

[haughty plume]

To avoid potty jokes perhaps

[waxen oyster]

Skykids use the toilet in the office then

[haughty plume]

Not me sitting here imagining some skykid needing to go to the bathroom but they have to wait until Halloween when office opens again

[rain fulcrum]

Hello there. Just looking for ideas, didn't know if this is the group. I am super excited about Sky coming to PC, however I play with one hand. Do any of you know if there are game controllers for one hand?

[tulip veldt]

i dont know about pc controllers but i know ipad has controls for one hand

[urban coral]

https://discord.com/channels/575762611111592007/1161306187124449392 would probably be a better place to ask but they right about one handed mode on the iPad. That’s how I play…but I’ve tried to use my touchpad similarly on my Mac and it doesn’t really act the same way :(

[lofty crypt]

unless they have the tgc cape, that's the t o i l e t pass

#beta-screenshots-videos message
I agree that it might be weird to see some of the furniture out of shared spaces but since only 8 players can be in a lobby and props vanish when the players leave I think it won’t cause too much clutter. Many players also prefer to carry props with certain uses like fire pots or chat tables so after the season idk how many people will carry some of these items around.

[somber oyster]

I just hope we won’t be able to place it at granny / geyser

[covert bison]

It would block people from burning stuff?

[somber oyster]

Yeah that’s what I assume, the props are pretty big, and I personally wouldn’t want to see 8 bath tubs on granny’s table

[covert bison]

The bread would get wet

[somber oyster]

But you have a good point too; I don’t think I’ll fly around with a bed on my back all the time. Maybe for fun when I’m with friends, but yes, I also think it’s likely Skykids will just revert back to their usual prop choices

[lavish matrix]

That's true, I always stick to one type of prop all the time bc of the functionality such as the instruments and fire props

Less likely to carry a furniture in eden when you need a consistent recharge

Like has anybody used the assembly shelf in either of wax events? I don't think I've ever seen that being used before when I'm visiting grandma daily

[cosmic vine]

okay but
the closet drawer is a perfect thing to put down somewhere just outside the grandma's
purely to peer pressure people into grabbing their burn props

[cosmic vine]

valid argument, but I've seen plenty of people placing the gondola down into the geyser occasionally
those are few and far between tho, only happens around love
people are generally respectful (plus gondolas are usually easy to get rid of)

[limber nacelle]

Me who places the surfboard in geyser to go OOB:

[cosmic vine]

why would you do that 😭

[limber nacelle]

Why wouldn't I? As the geyser drowns out it can be a fun way to zip around. Sometimes you go sonic speed.

[cosmic vine]

so you just.. nyooom around the oob.. while the other people do the work? 😔

this is sooo not the three core values‼️ /lh

[lavish matrix]

Omg I've never seen a gondola shoved down the geyser xD that looks hilarious ~~off topic for this channel but imagine...gondola in the river during DoN ~~

[subtle prairie]

also regarding this post: i almost never see people place props that aren't flame sources outside social areas, adding more decorative props wouldn't change that i bet people might carry the wardrobe around but i can't see why they would take the picture frames or beds with them, for example

[orchid knot]

gonna place bath in geyser so we can all wash away the pollution scrub a dub!

[cosmic vine]

strategically filling my bathtub with dark water to make it into a portable geyser

who needs hygiene when you can have a dark spore popcorn machine

[zealous charm]

#beta-screenshots-videos message bringing this here to not clog screenshots channel, but I disagree quite a lot with this take, my reason being?

Let me bathe in Eden damnit

[frozen quest]

Does the 66AC prop which can place the instrument have the same function as the mannequin ? ( You can only use the instrument you have )

[lofty crypt]

nah, from what i've seen, it basically allows players to try out whatever instrument you display on the prop. doesn't mean they own it, it just means they can mess around with it a bit

[lavish matrix]

If that's true then it's really generous

[frozen quest]

Thank you so much. It will be useful a lot

[lavish matrix]

Hold on, is there Nesting guide waiting just outside their shop in aviary for you to enter?
I just have an idea, what if the guide, upon starting your game, waits by the workshop door, it would be really cute bc since Homespace already has the guide waiting by the Aviary portal gate to remind that the season is active, why not the same for Aviary?

[orchid knot]

they were a corpse statue inside the shop when the season starts last I checked

Or wait did you mean in general? I think they're in the shop working on things, it would be strange if they just waited outside for us all the time

[somber steeple]

can't login beta???

[lavish matrix]

The WHAT oh nvm its when they're not lit up why did you call it a corpse dhfkdjfkkf 😭

Yeah i mean in general! And ohhh you do have a good point :Oc, it's just I think sometimes shopowners would look outside to invite the potential customers

[orchid knot]

Because it looks like a petrified corpse

Maybe for events the guides could pop out the shops like they did during the fireworks finale, but I think as a permanent thing maybe it would just be too borked, I've seen off season guide at the cafe doing some strange things when they go in and out of the curtain 😭

[lavish matrix]

lmaooo that's true.. and reminds me of teabrewer just NYOOMING

[rich silo]

anyone can interact with it, but only instruments you own will be visible and placed on the prop
so you can't share stuff you have with others, it won't change the appearance visually in that way (as far as I know before the update, because I can't get into beta rn to check)

it is interesting though that the default prop is the zelda ocarina which you can pick up and use freely as well

[zealous charm]

WAIT I SUGGESTED FOR AN INSTRUMENT THING LIKE THAT

[rich silo]

if beta was working right now I would invite you over to try it out cuz I just bought it

[naive jacinth]

Before update: 6/15 shared spaces published (I didn't do anything)
After update: 9/15 shared spaces published (still didn't do anything)
I'm waiting for it to happen on its own

[naive jacinth]

You know what? Everything is much simpler. Editing a nest counts as publishing a shared space >_> didn't know that
(hides collected shared space spells for the future)

[balmy talon]

Hello 👋 I want to ask you all here that when will the season of Nesting be available in live version of sky?

[jaunty canyon]

We won't know until it's announced in #news :)

[rich silo]

my guess is it'll probably be a bit after the PC launch

[gilded turret]

I've seen 13/15 published..i didn't do anything.. didn't wanna risk it going down so i published two..and I'm done

[weak monolith]

Do we know around what month cinnamoroll stuff will come?

[rich silo]

Beta never gets live schedule dates, check #news for when it's announced

[leaden haven]

Is the sunset quest not working? No matter how long I stay in my nest I stay at zero.

[rich silo]

it doesn't work that way
just leave and return to nest about 30 times while sunset is active and it will mark as complete

[rich silo]

shared space comments are still broken...

[light sage]

A season with no cosmetics huh ?

[vale temple]

There's 4 cosmetics that aren't props iirc? Anyways, way less than usual but not none.

I really only want the pass for the minifig tbh from what I've seen (since I've participated less in this season due to work and classes)

lol all the work for just the last (?) ult.

[ember hull]

How many aren't from the pass?

[somber oyster]

There is no way to tell, because nothing is final in beta

[ember hull]

then what is it currently?

[somber oyster]

I honestly don’t know by heart, it’s not the main focus of beta. No clue! Maybe the hair? Can’t say for sure

[frigid forge]

what are your thoughts on the upcoming season? 🤔

[rich silo]

Only the hair is free

[brave tangle]

I really like this upcoming season personally, i like the thought that we can make our own little nest i cant wait to take my friends up to it and talk there and to decorate it all and see what my friends come up with and see all these ideas in nests 🥰

Eeee what happened to my name :0

[rich silo]

For me since dp is my last TS I'm looking forward to having something to work towards in the game again outside of seasons and events
Basegame expansion was very needed for a long while

[brave tangle]

Oooh thats true too! Its gonna be nice to look forward of what furniture will be available who gets what and save up for those too, i feel like all this is not a bad change, i know people might complain but again its kinda like constellation its there if you want to spend your candles for something else then traveling spirits or friending others

[sage briar]

From what I’ve seen I think I’m still going to purchase mostly cause of fomo lol but I don’t mind the idea of the furniture and I think it’ll fit better after a whole season about it (like as Ts).

And I think having spirits in the future have like one piece of furniture would be nice. I think however it’s a big change all at once to go from having lots of cosmetics and that being the main basis and then like none.

I’m sorry for my terrible writing btw I’m half asleep

[rich silo]

I mean it's kind of like when shattering was first introduced people were upset cuz zero emotes + no spirits then revival and nesting later at this point we've kind of accepted it for the most part
I think it's fine that the game becomes less heavily cosmetic based so we can enjoy other aspects of gameplay

Like it's introducing a different avenue of gameplay to make sky more interesting to play outside of /get on and grind candles for clothes/

[sage briar]

Yeah that makes totally sense and adding more features to the game is good so that more veterans stay or come back. Just as someone just joining the game and wanting to build my wardrobe it kinda sucks for me

[frigid forge]

some really good points that have definitely changed how i’m looking at it! Thank you all… I’ve been quite sad about the lack of cosmetics but you’re right, it is something new & allows us to focus more on other aspects 💭

[rich silo]

They've also made shared spaces more accessible with the mega huge featured prop library in the workshop so people can try to their heart's content the new stuff

[naive jacinth]

oh, I also love that this season is less focused on clothes. like... we already have a lot of cosmetics, it will be great to take a break with something other. I buy everything from TS in Live and don’t have time to wear all that i have x))

[somber oyster]

I was against the idea player housing in Sky (big time, Cy knows ). But actually seeing how that idea gets implemented in-game, and actually playing the season definitely changed my mind.

It’s a lot of fun. It doesn’t feel like a task, it’s just pure fun and creativity!

[sage briar]

Can I ask why you were so against it before and what changed your mind the most? /nf

[somber oyster]

Oh I just thought it wasn’t very Sky-like and didn’t fit with my idea of the game, but I was proven wrong! I still don’t exactly know how I feel about seeing bath tubs and couches in the world, but having a little nest (or making your own home) feels really fun

[sage briar]

Yeah that makes sense, what’s nice is if you don’t want to use those items either you don’t have too

[rich silo]

I mean
Isn't it a thing in northern European or something countries to have a sauna hot tub in the negative degree Celsius of winter so hot tub at hermit valley is very accurate

[somber oyster]

I meaaan we already have the hotsprings

[rich silo]

Yeah but what if we want hot springs everywhere else

Also like
Assembly literally gives you a giant bookshelf
It's been years since assembly and I never see a random bookshelf placed in the wild
I think letting people have a funny hot tub somewhere random is fine

I think also following the rough world building I've observed
Generally seasons match the realm they're in for how advanced the technology or cosmetics are, and nesting definitely feels closest to current day
So I also look at it like, the furniture styling was integrated well because aviary's purpose is to be a player hub/town situation which is more of an organised civilisation concept since there's the salon with the banners for what shop is what

[somber oyster]

Yeah definitely! It definitely feels more recent timeline-wise.

Im enjoying the season too, just have to get used to seeing beds and sofas in Sky the props are fantastic though!

And the Questboard props are so cool??

• music display prop
• portable closet
• portable mannequin(?)

[rich silo]

But sof there's always been beds in sky
What about the treehouse at boneyard forest

The portable closet has been wishlisted to the end of time people have wanted a way to carry multiple items at once and now they finally have it

[somber oyster]

Its my own preference, I know there have been beds, but I personally need to get used to seeing them being placed randomly in the realms. I got used to the idea of them being “shared space exclusive props”

And yes, that’s part of why I think they’re cool

[rich silo]

Because the back prop variant hadn't been added yet?

[sage briar]

I’d love it if all the items on that bag showed up as the little backpack just because it’s weird to have a whole bed on your back

[rich silo]

Atlas hear me out
The little bed is for your mini figurine to sleep on cuz they're tiny 🤏

[sage briar]

that’s kinda cute

[somber oyster]

That doesn’t change how I feel hahaha, I know it was because it hadn’t been added yet. It’s just how I feel! I’m glad people are enjoying it, I’m enjoying it too. Just saying I would’ve been fine with them being shared space exclusive too

[rich silo]

WAIT
you know those cat beds that are just human beds but smaller (for dolls)
THAT'S WHAT IT IS

[sage briar]

Damn you’re a genius Cy

[mental salmon]

Question about the portable mannequin: does it wear the clothes and shows the shoes the same as revival's mannequin?

[rich silo]

It only displays hair, hair + neck accessory, and cape

[rich silo]

Yee I gotchu
For me it's like, it would become an out of sight out of mind situation where you would totally forget they exist (like the featured props list in general sometimes cuz they vary depending on which realm you're building in) and it's like well I bought this thing where did it go how do I use it

[covert bison]

I’m enjoying the season more than expected. Never used shared spaces much and avoided player creations ever since the clapping was added ( ) but building the nest and even the display place was fun. And I liked seeing other peoples too

[sage briar]

I think what’s gonna happen it’s a lot of people aren’t gonna be excited and they won’t buy the season pass. But then they’ll find themselves enjoying it more and see other people enjoying it and then they’ll purchase the season pass later on. at least that’s what I think from what I’ve heard from here.

[rich silo]

Me coming in every week like hey so
I made a chicken

I SEE YOU CASEY

[naive jacinth]

I like the idea of having my own nest. Some people just like to chill in the game, and here you can create your own cozy place where you will be absolutely alone. It's nice to have your own safe spot (introvert in chat xd). if we could play music from locations it would be great >-> I like to "sleep" with music from the forest

[spiral needle]

According to my statistics, the Sky kids who sleep at least 8 hours a day are more likely to be... you won't believe it, less sleepy, amazing, right?

[past robin]

Cy… I still have 🎤“do you wanna build a whale, mannnn”🎤 stuck in my head.

[brave tangle]

Sky bot is on the lose i see xd

[covert bison]

I was having a terrible time with the nest at first because of the one hand edit bug. Casey helped me be able to edit it again

[rich silo]

Skybot is telling me to go to sleep cuz I am actually sleepy but THIS IS IMPORTANT TOPIC OF BUILDING

[buoyant heart]

The fact that we now get the additional props to carry around has honestly made me really like them even more; I know not everyone enjoys that aspect but they look so goofy (and some are very cute like that!) that I can't help but be charmed

I am sad that the wooden brazier is so small on your back though 😔 Not properly to scale for Bulbasaur cosplay

[rich silo]

Insert BuzzFeed unsolved image remixed
"I've connected the dots"
"cy go to bed"
"I CONNECTED THE DOTS!!"

[rich silo]

Excuse me sir are you discriminating bulb size

[rich silo]

I was definitely not as invested at first and then my inner background artist exploded and now I'm here
Cuz I was actually excited for shared spaces when rem introduced the local props and the SS diamonds but the prop type pool was way too small and the only ones you could reasonably get were a small selection from assembly guide or you wait a bajillion years for TS return
So having permanent basegame selection if people do want to get into building is a good thing

And like I haven't really bought a single item from the workshop igcvstore
The SS there is truly carrying, you can do a lot with it even without buying any new props because of the featured list

[orchid knot]

I'm late but I don't really enjoy the idea of seeing random beds or baths placed around Sky - when items are part of the environment it makes sense, but to me I just feel like the random placements from sky kids will feel less immersive - it's part of the reason I didn't enjoy shared candles to begin with, I've gotten used to those and shared space lanterns now because they have a less visually intrusive design and devs have adapted how they appear like less of them, bigger only for friends, greyed out for strangers, interact less see less sorta thing

but you can't really escape seeing someone place a bath at granny's or something and whilst it's silly the first couple of times like haha this is so out of place, I just know I'm gonna grow tired of it

But I enjoy Sky for the visual beauty, I like to take in the peaceful environments and watch as creatures and sky kids pass by, I don't however enjoy being splatted with a bed suddenly so I'm feeling eh about the general use of the furniture outside shared spaces

I do also think though the amount we spend on the items it would be weird not feeling like we own them in our closets, so I'm a bit muddled in my thoughts and feelings about it all

[solar lark]

Skybot going around placing beds to make us sneep snorp

[spiral needle]

[orchid knot]

nap time in the middle of pnr

[solar lark]

Just some red noise to help you sleep

[lavish matrix]

I'm kinda agreeing on both sides, it would feel pointless if the items are SS exclusive when you've spent so much on them, but also I hope tgc figures a way to limit certain furnitures' placeable area. I don't mind them being placed in the wide open spaces that I can easily ignore. But for the wax events like geyser and grandma it would be worrying. Its good that SS are already limited in the wax areas, so I hope tgc still has it in mind and polish the specific furniture placement in a way it wouldn't take away players' ability to place useful props like braziers etc.

Tbh if anything it's very very rare to come across random big props in the realms even in live, just far more common in the social spaces. As someone who plays the game almost daily.

[subtle prairie]

that last point is what's making me feel positive about the props being available outside of shared spaces, you almost never see anyone place a prop that isn't a flame source outside of a social area or shared space because there's no reason to if someone's out in the realms they're probably either candle running with a flame source for convenience or doing a photoshoot with one of the cameras out of necessity, and that's not considering people who carry around unplaceable props like the umbrellas and staves for fashion the only nesting prop i could reasonably see people taking with them deep into the realms is the wardrobe so they can swap props on the fly

[lavish matrix]

Exactly! It really didn't bother me as much in sky in live. Yes there may be players who place random beds all over the realms for silly fun but I'm sure it'll wear off once they go back to their usual prop combo like torches etc for their candle runs. If anything the placed props would disappear if the players have left the specific instance or the yellow wifis

I remember there was once a spell that allows you to place the music mixer thingy, but I have not seen anyone using it anywhere at all.

[orchid knot]

I feel like it's rare nowadays cause the novelty of those items has worn off, they've been around so long, but with nesting everything will be new so I expect to see it often - although I can't predict the future, so I could be wrong

People used to place old props randomly a lot when I was a moth, it's how I found out about all the assembly props in the first place

[lavish matrix]

Ye that's what I'm expecting, during nesting people would be likely to place them all over but it'll eventually wear off

Doesn't hurt to let tgc know about your thoughts on this tho, balance is good

[tulip veldt]

people used to be able to troll people with the bookshelf back in the day til they changed where you could place it

[runic mural]

I do agree with what you say. But personally I don't think a few props will make much difference as the environment is already permanently ruined by the floating shared spaces and memories. And props aren't always around - not every player places props, and the props will be gone when they leave the server. Unlike shared things, they are always there.

I don't agree that shared spaces/memories have become less intrusive. I think they're more intrusive than ever. There used to be a limit on how many shared things we could see in an area (somewhere between 5 and 10 I think). That meant it was possible to manually “clean up” the environment by opening them and then hiding them. Then the area would be free of shared spaces/memories until the next time we entered the area. It’s no longer possible, because when we remove one.. a new one will appear within seconds. And it doesn't matter how many you hide, because there is no end to it. And previously, they spawned immediately when we entered an area and stayed in place until we left. Now they keep popping up out of nowhere as soon as you stop for a few seconds. If you sit down somewhere, you'll soon be surrounded by that shining floating shared stuff. No matter where you go.

It's littering the ENTIRE game and it also breaks the game because of the buttons that are very easy to press by mistake when you intend to interact with a friend or open a door. Especially if you play with a controller or on a small touchscreen. It's a constant source of irritation for me, and most (nearly all) of my friends agree with me.

[orchid knot]

I know you can smack people into the ground with the bed but I think it might just be friends? Like how there's no table collision unless you're friends or you interact with the item first

[orchid knot]

I think this is worth including in #live-feedback

[cobalt glade]

I don't think prop placing will be too much of an issue since it's not too often you are in a full server of players who want to place props and even then it's limited to only 8 and players tend to mainly use functional props on their journeys through the realms. However I do think the should add a "hide all" button in regards to player creations so we are able to ignore them if we aren't quite feeling it at the time

[somber oyster]

While I personally don’t necessarily experience UGC to be a clutter in the realms, I do agree it’s annoying that we can’t hide the social creations anymore in a session.

They indeed return within seconds, which can definitely be annoying. I assume for console players it’s all the more a challenge with so many buttons to press! Previously, clicking the “break candle”-symbol hid them for as long as you were in that area.

I miss it too sometimes, I’ll go feedback

[cobalt glade]

Yeah I'd like there to be a separation between hiding a creation and swapping a creation

For a game that's highly focused on visuals you would expect this to already be a thing to reduce clutter when trying to just appreciate the views.

[orchid knot]

To be honest the recent changes within Sky over the last year or so has been focused on making UGC more prominent and easy to navigate, so I don't think they'll offer a hide all option because they want to encourage us to engage as a community within the game

[somber oyster]

Not necessarily a “hide all” but it can be annoying to have them refresh instantly when you’re just trying to declutter the geyser for example!

Hide several in an area = ok it’s hidden for the time you’re in that area, would be nice if it worked like that again

[high atlas]

Oh odd, i got server errors after picking up the daily statue seasonal 😭

Well i cannot log in anymore

[orchid knot]

Yeah the old way of hide and gone was nice rather than the rotation stuff, but again I think it's part of encouraging us to interact with other users' content more

[lavish matrix]

I think with the recent ugc visual changes, they've become less obvious, like the little shared memory have become much less visible especially those from strangers, like their size and colour have been very diminished. I don't notice them quickly unless I get close to them. I remember when I was completely alone in geyser, I had to walk around it many times to even spot one bc it's BARELY visible which is great

Genuinely much better than when it was candle shaped. And they appear much later than say boats if I'm just skimming through realms quickly

[orchid knot]

I definitely agree, the only bother I have now with shared creations are we cannot escape the autoplay in aviary

but anyways, back to the seasonal stuff, I just feel for at least a few months there'll be a lot of silly furniture placing which can be amusing sure, but I just think I'll grow tired of it fast

[lavish matrix]

Oh the autoplay in aviary, I haven't seen it active in live nowadays :o

yeah that's why you should let tgc know about the potential issue about it. I just hope it won't hinder players' ability to place items that's useful for wax events like torches.

plus the areas are massive enough to ignore the random props. But my gripe is that whenever I practice music anywhere, there'll always be players interrupting me with their instrument. That's why I put a SS to create my own safe space in the places where I practice, and also hoping it'll provide other musicians the same

[orchid knot]

Autoplay has bugged out a few times so I think it might be like that in live rn but in beta it works again

I've already left feedback about my worries, I was mainly just here responding to the earlier discussions about the topic

I will say nests will be a wonderful thing for sky musicians since we can have them private

[lavish matrix]

ohhh Well, if its active again in aviary, I can ignore it fast like I do not see unless someone plays a genuinely good music

Oh good!!

Yesss I'm excited about that, my own nest and a personal music studio, but one question, is there an echo/ cave effect there

[orchid knot]

I'd have to check again later but I don't think it's particularly echoey, not like say under the ice rink

[lavish matrix]

Awww rip, but it's ok xD it's a perfect place to practice if I don't need the reverb effect too, and if I need it I'd just go to vault and throw a SS there

[red dome]

What are the cosmetics for next season?

[vale temple]

If it's stuff to wear on Skykid: a pair of pants that looks like apron with boots and gloves from guide (ult), a new hair (currently not pass locked), pencil behind ear, and a cape (Last two pass locked).

If you want to see them you'll have to go to #beta-screenshots-videos and find them

[warm ocean]

If tcg wants me to test the quest trees on the bulletin boards then they need to offer more inexpensive furniture. Right now I've bought 1/15, the only other thing for purchase is way more ac than I have, and it says new items in 4 days?
I don't mind taking a long time to complete something like that in live (assuming it will be around long enough and not end with the season) but we don't usually have as long in beta?

[runic mural]

Yes, it's very clear that TGC really wants us to use the shared things. Especially the shared spaces. It seems extremely important to them, for reasons I can't understand (anyone here knows why?). They've made two seasons about shared spaces. Improving shared spaces seems to be given priority over bug fixes. They've filled every area on every map with shared spaces and shared memories. If someone enters a shared space while a friend holds their hand, the friend will now be forced into the shared space without being given any choice. They've even introduced autoplaying shared memories.

My impression is that they believe that if they make us more exposed to the spaces, it will make us more interested in the feature. I'm not sure it works like that though.

I don't need to be reminded of their existence every tenth second. Because the reason that I don't play with shared spaces isn't that I can't find them or that I'm unaware of them. The reason is that I think shared spaces are boring. It doesn't interest me. There are other things I enjoy with the game. And there are lots of things to do in game, shared spaces is just one of many. And I want to be able to play the game the way I want to. The freedom to let us create our own way of playing the game is the reason I love Sky.

Sorry to say, but shared spaces is just a mini-game that gets way too much exposure in my opinion. And maybe it gets too much of TGC’s resources (obviously I can't know that, but I hope they don't put all their eggs in one basket).

Being constantly reminded of their existence doesn't make me like them more. It's rather the opposite way around. If I haven't played with them for three years it's not very likely that it will change all of a sudden, is it? Yet I have to see one hundred of them every day.

[orchid knot]

To be fair they're catering to lots of different playstyles in the game as it is, not everybody will like the same features or seasons or events, etc. but they've often expressed that the ongoing success of Sky is down to the way the community creates its own content amongst what TGC offer us, and allowing players a variety of ways to create their own memories, spaces, and messages and adapting the current live system to something more interactive with comments and hearts, following, etc. will only serve to grow the community connection within the game more.

It doesn't mean everybody will enjoy it or interact with it, but there are so many players who do

[covert bison]

There should be a toggle view off or hide all option once you click one in the area. They also end quests if you click it and it’s annoying when you have to restart. I think once the nest is released they should let that be the main “shared space” feature and let people choose if they want to hide the other ones. The nests also feel more personal since you have to go in them with a friend and shared spaces often a random person left it long ago and you don’t feel as meaningful of an interaction if you go there alone.

[orchid knot]

That sounds like a bug or unintended side effect if interacting with shared creations are causing your quests to stop in any way - best to report!

[somber steeple]

Why can't I log in or even display the server error after updating?😔

[covert bison]

I think it’s a bug probably… I remember it cancelled a season of flight quest

Maybe I clicked a friend in the shared space

[lavish matrix]

While shared spaces / memories can be annoying, it offers opportunities such as recharge, a trivia fact (kinda like pointing out hidden secret in the area or easter eggs) and even a company with the lone players as well as entertainment such as music covers.
One time I saw a shared memory in the wax turtle area, the skykid said "are you alone? Don't worry, let's watch sunset together!" And honestly it's really sweet and it shows how connected the players in the game even if they're not physically there. It's probably one of the reason tgc wants to expand on it.

[runic mural]

I agree that there should be a toggle. Maybe there could be three modes
🟢 Show
🔴 Hide
🔴 Hide (this session only)

Also it's not like they'll disappear from game altogether because the shrines are still there easily accessed for everyone and of course the nests

[lavish matrix]

That's a really good idea! Feedback it

[runic mural]

Boats I don't mind, because they aren't as intrusive (although a bit more so when they've started suddenly popping similar to the shared things). It's a nice feature.

My favorite boat was one I saw in Eden (yes it was a long time ago). I found it floating in the first pipe in the krill area, the one you reach after the rock rain. It was so beautiful. It simply said: “Leave no one behind.”. to me it said what the game and especially Eden really is about in just 4 words ❤️

[rich silo]

Pokes in
You know what the most annoying thing in ever is
When people place shared memories right where important locations are
It doesn't happen anymore with burning plants (like hidden forest and graveyard especially) but like
In live with thunder strike event right now it is SO ANNOYING there's always 3 per rock

[runic mural]

Yeah it's cool when people use the shared things in a really creative way as a tool in other gameplay. Like fast recharging, passing through doors, burning wax etc ..and of course the OOB possibilities 😎 Sadly it's getting patched (from what I've heard). But it's fine for me, it just means that there will be new discoveries

[harsh torrent]

Shattering mentioned!

You're right. Shattering was hated at first (mostly because of the bugs), but I think it's cool

[covert bison]

Still sad because of the useless krill horn. Didn’t buy pass over it even though I liked the ult cape

I think nesting will be ok too, aside from upset about prices. It has some nice cosmetics now and I think it’s ok if they are trying something a little different for a season even though there are no emotes

[rich silo]

wdym useless it looks cool and you can use it like an air horn

[lavish matrix]

Yeah! It's nice to take a small break from grinding for cosmetics and have more opportunities to try and wear what I have and focus on the TS/ Events

Plus omg my closet is so bloated rn (probably much less than those who played the game since the first day of sky xD)

[rich silo]

there was a point before they patched it in live where you could play the horn like an instrument through music sheets but it's changed 😔 🙏

[rich silo]

idk if you haven't spammed it like BAM BAM BAAAAAMMMM at people you're missing out

[orchid knot]

does the instrument stand still just place as a diamond or did they change it at all? (I can't afford it to test it 😔)

[rich silo]

Oh right gotta poke

[orchid knot]

#beta-screenshots-videos message why did they place it that way

[lavish matrix]

Sleeping in a new perspective and maybe being courteous to not block the way

[brave tangle]

I just saw the tutorial for the plant in window placement and i gotta say cy you are a genius thank you so much 😭 i was suffering so much to place that plant and in the end i just gave up because it was just not right, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

[rich silo]

yeah often times the answer is not to just brute force it but think in a different way

[insert essays of item placement collision mechanics]

tbh my initial attempt was to build up 4 of the horizontal boxes and then try do a placement through there then I learned I could place a brick on the window frame when I was trying to place inside the [] and was like oh heck this is way easier let's do that instead

[shy bridge]

Does the extra stuffs(furnitures) (not from seasonal constella) from the beta season limited?

And the 3 eden-needed-to-unlock items will stay after season end?

[cloud ocean]

The non-seasonal furniture will be permanent in the game, rotating every few days in the shop.
And the 3 Eden-unlock items on top of the board quests should also stay after the season ends

[rich silo]

if it doesn't cost SC, it's likely gonna stay (also cuz it's not a collab season)

[surreal valley]

Hello, I just wanna ask, am I the only one who's having issues with the seasonal candles? It doesn't seem to add up when I collect the wax at all 🥲

[rich silo]

if you have half missing somewhere then you probably missed a candle along the way

[hallow prairie]

How to apply for test suit qualification

[rich silo]

@glacial raven once placed, the instrument display allows anyone to showcase their instrument
it's client-side, you can't share your instrument with someone else even if they own the same thing
you can put it anywhere, it does reset back to the default ocarina appearance if you put it in your nest then leave and go back

[glacial raven]

darn. I was hoping it had a bit more functionality but that's still pretty good

[rich silo]

I mean it's still pretty fun to mess with
the instrument placed rotates to face your player

[rich silo]

read #beta-faq and grab the beta invites role
invites will only be sent out when the developers need more testers, so you just have to wait for that

[brittle haven]

Are the board quests part of the season? Like, if I don’t get them all done, will I miss out on something for the season?
I’m asking because I don’t have enough candles for some of them that say to purchase items from the furniture shop.

[rich silo]

the only things that go away after the season ends are the wooden furniture that are from the "spirits" of the season and ult access
everything else is permanent

[covert bison]

Wait can you not play the instrument?

[rich silo]

I mean you can, but like
it's your instrument that you put on there

you can't play [other people's instruments] specifically if they put theirs on the pedestal

[covert bison]

So if you placed an instrument on your stand, the other people can’t try it out?

Sad I hoped to share my ult instrument sounds

[rich silo]

feedback away~~
I should also feedback tbh, right now it feels kind of useless as an item because it keeps resetting after you leave the SS/nest and go back

[covert bison]

I hope they will improve it…Why did my name get stung by a bee

[naive jacinth]

you are a lily flower and you are being haunted by a bee >->

[rich silo]

and yet, the lack of bee cosmetics in sky:

[orchid burrow]

Transparent bee wings would be kinda neat 👀

[rich silo]

the aurora ult one would probs be closest
we need a heckin bee outfit stripes and all

[naive jacinth]

We collect wax from candles every day, like bees, really.

[ancient jay]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
It’s so funny that this is something a lot of us wanted a solution for

[rich silo]

oh, really? XD
I did see it float around pictures a few times I guess

I mean like
the round upper wall is doing a /\ because of the way the polygons are laid out to create the circular shape so all you had to do was just make a flat surface yourself to put it on
candle or sconce is flat enough to do that (though candle is more accessible since it's in the featured prop list) and there are some props where the underside is flat so you can use it to maneuver items around in the air better without having to deal with the funky janky angles (folded towel, feast pillow)

like if the game won't give it to you, trying to make it work out of existing props is a fun challenge

[somber oyster]

Ooooh I’m late to the conversation but I’m beyond excited for the instrument display!

It’s very WIP at the moment, but I hope we can place an instrument and let our friends play it. A friend already knows I’ll be stealing their sanc handpan

It’s very obvious that it’s not in its final form yet, however I did find out we can place instrument even if we only have the spell version 👀

[rich silo]

Wait sof
Remember the secret days of music ult spells rng

[somber oyster]

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking as well 👀. In beta I only had regular instrument spells, but the Fortune drum I could place without actually owning the item

More accessible instruments? Big win

[rich silo]

In that case it makes sense why the thing would reset if you leave where it's placed tbh
Cuz being able to keep ult instruments saved on the thing would be too op

[somber oyster]

I mean at the moment it resets because it’s not finished yet. I’m assuming (hoping) it’s intended to actually leave an instrument there, because I doubt the Nintendo pack instrument should be available for everyone

Ocarina* forgot the name

[rich silo]

I do love me a 66 AC ocarina though

Speaking of, with the permanent furniture additions maybe they could add more non IAP permanent instruments to the game?

[somber oyster]

Hopes and prayers (feedback I go)

[tulip veldt]

is the intention of the thing to let you place an instrument in a space so you can be holding some other item thats not an instrument and still be able to play music ?

[sage briar]

What if when you laid in the bed the screen like dimmed and went darker almost like you’re sleeping

[orchid knot]

are we sleeping though because my kid straight up blinks laying there

[lavish matrix]

They're half sleeping like how dolphins sleep with one eye open

[orchid knot]

new lore drop? sky kids are related to dolphins!!!

[lavish matrix]

HELP PLS
Some birds do this too! Especially owls

[orchid knot]

too late, we're dolphins! I can't believe how much lore has been hidden in nesting, first we got to see forest as a friend and potential teacher for nesting guide, now we find out we're descended from these fellas 🐬

[tulip veldt]

(Well dolphins sleep with one half of their brain at a time too so they…keep breathing and stuff so, seems useful?)

[delicate echo]

I like owls more

[lavish matrix]

Crying yall really carried the accidental dolphin lore 😭😭😭

(Ey same, I like owls a lot lot)

[jagged tusk]

I inadvertently obtained all the items from the Nesting Workshop before attempting the challenge board and was unable to complete the Workshop challenge. How can this be resolved?

[rich silo]

I think it's just one of those [beta does not give compensation] things
you could try feedback it? or bug report?
cuz I feel like if you already obtained furniture beforehand it should count

[orchid knot]

I'd feedback it, in the unlikely event someone was to buy all rotating furniture in live before bothering to interact with the challenges (I don't think it would happen but it could?) that would be frustrating

[jagged tusk]

of course, I understand that some cases only happen in BETA and are not guaranteed
I see, yes, that should count! I'll report back later. thank you!

[rich silo]

oh that’s a good point, that could definitely happen

[jagged tusk]

I don't know how the currency types have changed since I purchased my first one, but if those are still purchased with hearts, I think it is likely to happen to veterans who have a surplus of hearts.

[rich silo]

it's a combination of candles, ascended candles, and hearts now

[orchid knot]

Well so far we have candles and ac, we have to wait for the next rotation to see if hearts are still a thing, but it takes so long 😭 I honestly preferred everything being available at once so I could just choose which ones I wanted and know how much they were so I could prepare to save and not just spend forever waiting around

[rich silo]

mmmm
no because it's just
mega wall of doom and despair

[lavish matrix]

Yeah rotation really gives the less distressing visual

[orchid knot]

mega wall of doom at least gives people a chance to plan and save, this just feels like waiting around for TS and not knowing what will appear and for how much for so eh

[rich silo]

well it's a double edged sword either way
the better in between would be to just have a larger pool of rotating items than letting 2 things sit there for a whole week
instead have like 5 things rotate

[orchid knot]

it's a 4 item rotation but you've bought some already if you only have 2 - it would be nice to have like idk 10 items every two/three weeks or something instead imo

Still it feels like TS and that's weird to me when it's an expansion on base game stuff and not seasonal related, but I'm used to base game stuff just sitting there for whenever I'm ready to buy them

Imagine if base cons had been locked to weekly rotations, pain

[rich silo]

mm one of the weeks it had 6 items in there
the amount is random

[modern spruce]

Well we don't know about the two new quest to do and we don't know what is on the 4th quest.. Any questions?

[orchid knot]

Quest 4: DO MORE CHALLENGES

I wonder if it'll actually be a nest expansion or something, that would be nice but maybe it's too soon to be thinking about bigger nests, maybe that would be a post season thing or not at all.... I'm hoping we get some form of nest growth, maybe a lil patio or a new room

[naive jacinth]

I'm thinking about improving Aviary. There is quite a lot of space for construction here (especially since we now see some kind of fence when we are about to leave the Nesting store?)

[rich silo]

yeah like it's gradually building up in scale
so i reckon we may get more expansion in the area instead

[cloud ocean]

It would be cool if we could do something about the dark plants in the clouds… they’re right behind the nests

[kindred rivet]

I lowkey miss the giant dark plant tree. Hope it stays and shows up in future expansions and we just decorate it during events like put up lights on it during DoFeast or pumpkins and paper ghosts for DoMischief

[lavish matrix]

Oh my god feast dark plant tree like the Christmas tree

[brave tangle]

I wonder if we will open it in later quest tho since im not sure what else could there be for this season then

[rich silo]

shattering 2.0 I'm calling it

[cosmic vine]

the second hermit valley eden was actually shattering guide 2, and now they are on the loose

[rich silo]

we're still owed a space manta cape shattering 2.0 bring it home

[modern spruce]

I agree about it happens of the shattering since in 2 years, but now, there still not hope..

[high atlas]

Wait it's almost been 2 years since shattering?? What do you mean?? 😭

[rich silo]

it's been two years since shattering

[runic mural]

I believe the giant dark plant will be unveiled soon.

My prediction for the final quest: Darkness arrives in Aviary and a giant dark plant appear right outside our nests under dark pink skies. We will then cleanse the darkness by burning the plant together with festival tech.

[orchid knot]

I would hate that, please no fest tech in nesting!!!

[rich silo]

or it could just be one of those things scrapped from how gamedev works and we never see giant dark plant again

[waxen oyster]

Am I the only one bothered that there’s an invisible wall when you enter the seasonal shop? Your skykid doesn’t go into the building but bumps into the wall, and that feels weird

[brave tangle]

Oooooo thats actually such a good idea :0

[rich silo]

but like once it's burnt then what would be in its place

[balmy tapir]

It's very obvious when you go into the music shop too. It does annoy me

[heady stump]

When can the Apple system take the test qualification?

[spiral needle]

We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @heady stump. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.

[heady stump]

When can the Apple system take the test qualification?

[rich silo]

when the developers need more testers. You have the right role added so all you can do is wait for the notification from #beta-signup-info
probably have testflight downloaded ahead of time

[heady stump]

I know. I want to know when tgc will issue the next batch of qualifications.

[rich silo]

And it's when they need more testers -> no one here knows the schedule.
They truly only open up when they need more active testers for things. The pattern in the past I noticed when it opened more frequently was specifically when they needed more testers to see how much the server could get stressed out by player participation volume.

It's very much on an as needed basis for what data TGC needs and that's not something people here know about in detail.

[shy rock]

What if we could start a garden up there? Maybe we could cultivate hearts or something, so that solo players have a way to get hearts!

(Wishful thinking, I know it's extremely improbable haha)

[brave tangle]

Sorry, but we dont know, gotta wait and see no matter how many times you ask we sadly still wont know the answer, but i see you give yourself the role for beta pings so you will get notified when there is one

[dense matrix]

I have more of a hypothetical situation since it seems that unless you already have the quest active the purchasing of furniture from the shop doesn’t count towards completion of the third workshop quest.

Couldn’t someone in theory be soft-locked out of obtaining the portable closet if they bought all the items before opening the quest?

Sure its a very small 🤏 chance since most people cant afford that but it is still possible to happen.

[covert bison]

Hoping that in live either they won’t open the shop until they open the board quests to prevent this, or if you already bought it it will autocomplete like the revivial quests

[hushed charm]

It also would be an inconvenience if you have bought an considerable amount of furniture and had to buy 15 more

[dense matrix]

but iirc you have to do the first quest which is obtain 3 props so the store would have to be open in order to complete that one

[naive jacinth]

Looking at the new rotation of items... I think they are a little cheaper than they were. But I don't remember their price. Anyway, still expensive, but a little better

[rich silo]

I have the old prices so I'll put a comparison later after I finish my live run

[mild pumice]

Guys dose anyone know how can I see season of nestings cosmetics?

[fresh carbon]

uh guys, I think I missed something, what's this channel for?

never mind, I just noticed all the channels have been name changed

[somber oyster]

This channel is for very secret in-development Sassy season content ofcourse….

[zealous charm]

Sof is correct, we’re currently testing Season of Sassy Drifter, introducing four new spirits:

• Sassy Drifter
• Sassy Drifter
• Sassy Drifter
• Sassy Drifter
  And the season guide… you guessed it… SASSY DRIFTER!

[rich silo]

but what about....Dassy Srifter

[sweet jackal]

[devout venture]

Everything is Sassy. As it should be 😌

[jaunty void]

season of sassy (or the acronym... SOS (idk i found that funny))

anyways, sassy [season] betachat! i have a quick question, how many beds could you put in your nest? and how much space do they take? (i can't check it myself rn for irl reasons and because i don't have the item yet) my brain is braining about what to make when the new season drops

[zealous charm]

I have somewhat successful cranked a 90 in nesting

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[rich silo]

one each
unless you get creative and build more beds

[jaunty void]

😔 welp there goes my idea of making a themed nursery in the nest (at least what we know of in beta)
thank you tho cy!

[craggy zephyr]

@sage sedge sorry for the ping here but I didn't wanna chat in the screenshot channel

yeah it feels like they aren't listening to us about the ridiculously high prices at all

[rich silo]

no they did
the prices did lower still
not by a lot but it did lower

you're valid for thinking it's expensive though it's still up there

[sage sedge]

Man I wish it would be 5-20 candles like the assembly props

I mean the chat tables and other ones with functions being more expensive makes sense

But 90 candles is ridiculous for the selection of props there, it’s not like any of them (to my knowledge) do special effect things

[rich silo]

no they do
all the chairs let you sit on them, you can sit inside the bathtub (both sizes)

the bed has the same sleep icon as the assembly hammock, pressing it lets you lie down on the bed
sofa has two sit icons so you can sit with someone else
every table that has cups on it lets you pick them up and drink like the remembrance teapot item

technically the introduction of the candles + sconces are now new recharge props (albeit tiny) and probs have slow recharge

[finite anchor]

most of these features aren't enough to justify the high prices imo

[rich silo]

I'm not justifying the cost, just saying that they have function and do stuff

[finite anchor]

tbh at this point I don't expect the prices to drop significantly :') especially since 9CD has ended already
I'd love to be proven wrong tho

[stable comet]

why bathtub no splash water initially still got water but doesn't have splash, now not even water

[balmy tapir]

Comparing it, older props in events and ts were so much cheaper. Then assembly ts had their props be around 50, and then they added a bunch of 100 candle props

[rich silo]

the DoL arch was 100 candles wasn't it

[balmy tapir]

Yep, and the feast snowman 120

[rich silo]

checked the wiki, it was
tent was 90 candles

the feast snowman can give you 3-4 different versions randomised, hence higher cost

[balmy tapir]

Still looking at those like

Somehow remembrance props were still around reasonable

[rich silo]

size to cost ratio-wise it still makes sense cuz the 80 candle carpet is the mega huge one

[craggy zephyr]

I'm kinda glad the furniture isn't too modern. I really like the vibe sky has. which why days of fashion threw me off. my friend agrees with me on this

[balmy tapir]

Crab call's pipe is 20 candles btw

[rich silo]

the TS was already expensive to begin with

[balmy tapir]

Makes it not about the size then but how much they can make us pay

[rich silo]

when you place it normally it's not as tall as the others
I feel like TS props are a whole different thing because they were reusing existing game assets and retro fitting them onto the spirits

[balmy tapir]

Yeah, but they were still cheaper. Honestly don't understand the prices rising so much when barely anyone cares about those props anyway

[rich silo]

they scale the cost to how much candles the overall playerbase has 🤷

[balmy tapir]

[rich silo]

they made that economy blogpost last year that clarified that and why they're not raising the candle cap
pretty sure that logic still applies now

[vague prism]

[lavish matrix]

I noticed that, in cy's image of the price comparison of the furnitures, I feel the pricing currently makes sense. Like the table thingy costs 40 candles now but you can place 2. So technically each of it is 20 candles.

Definitely the same range as assembly items.
Even if its not a big drop, its much better than it was at first
Pretty reasonable, since these are permanent items so you don't need to rush and get all of them
And I've noticed that many of the issues regarding the cost, one factor being is the fomo mentality, that makes one rush to get the items in the shortest amount of time unrealistically despite the fact that they're permanent. That's just my thoughts I've been noticing this trend lately.

[somber oyster]

Would be nice to have the option buying seperate pieces! I don’t think I will need 8 pieces of those stone things

[lavish matrix]

Honestly I'd be down for that
Kinda like a buy 2 for discount price

[rich silo]

there's 8 of the stone cube for free in the nest to use though
the flat one specifically, in the featured section

[lavish matrix]

Ohhh that's generous actually xD

Bless the featured section

[high atlas]

I definitely agree I am quite okay with the prices. It gives me something to work on, and I am pretty excited to have something to help me feel motivated to farm again. especially as a dusty skykid who has nothing to do.
I think from the perspective of a new player, I can see it being overwhelming, but also it is just like any other game with multiple things to work towards completing. It gives you different options you can use candles for like ts, constellations, and now this too.

[rich silo]

it's also a lot better now that it rotates a small pool every couple days rather than just stacking onto the mega long list each time

@ionic granite if you want to see what they all look like, you can look up potato beta log
as for prices, guides aren't allowed in beta so you won't find em

[rich silo]

MAGPIE YOUR SWORD IS A PIZZA OMG

[naive jacinth]

XDD

I was thinking about a nice pattern, but yeah, it looks a lot like pizza xD

[rich silo]

or a really huge cake server
you know those triangle wedge shaped metal thingos

I still wish they would give us the wasteland spears n swords but alas

[naive jacinth]

No swords or spears? We'll do it ourselves!

[rich silo]

the thought just occurred to me
I could use the torch + sconces...to make a trident
or just a real long fork

[slate veldt]

@bubbeane

[vale haven]

We officially need decorative weapons

[rich silo]

We do….technically
sword pants rapier and bloom pants trowel

but that’s it

but heckin weapon props where are they

[solar lark]

#swordpantsgang

[vale haven]

Like dude why does yeti get axes for his bedside >:0

[rich silo]

Ikr why can't we get the cool hacky slash too >:0c

@somber oyster so no guns or tanks or the like right

[somber oyster]

Yes exactly! No modernised weapons!

[rich silo]

i’ll edit my message to be clearer in case
i’m glad sky weapons are okay though I figured since swords and spears existed in wasteland it would be okay

[somber oyster]

To a certain extent, yeah: harmful depictions aren’t allowed either, but letting your creativity go wild and making big spoons or any other creations already posted in the screenshot channel should be ok!

[rich silo]

so stabby in moderation, got it

[orchid knot]

hi there, can I help you?

[naive jacinth]

soon our sword battles will look like jojo meme.

[rich silo]

tbh I could make a three way sword like zoro just holding one in your mouth

wait someone could totally make a fidget spinner shuriken-

[naive jacinth]

ooooooo

oh, I have an idea, but I don't really know how to implement it. but I'll go and try >->

[rich silo]

@craggy zephyr gonna go build that brb
It's such a good comic

DUDE MAGPIE YOU BUILT WHAT I WAS GONNA BUILD LMAO
like i was thinking about it and you realised it BUT YOURS IS WAY COOLER

[naive jacinth]

:DDD I'd like to see yours!
I would like to use a torch as a bowstring, but I don't have one

btw I saw you building a sword. it was hilarious. and you also appeared out of nowhere when I screened the bow. after cooldown I'll show what it looked like xd

[rich silo]

love to see this common trend of friends appearing out of nowhere like 🧍 but actually we’re building

alright i’ll try make a bow 🏃 it’s gonna look pretty similar to yours because I was thinking of using the pan rack too
I just love how you used the flex emote to carry the effect across, it's so good

[craggy zephyr]

SOMEONE MAKE A SPEAR!!

a shield if possible

[rich silo]

GREAT THOUGHTS OF CY DKSHDKSJ
I was lying down so I could put the candle under a thing 😂😭

[naive jacinth]

😂 😂

[solar lark]

Someone needs to draw cy as the thinker statue

[naive jacinth]

anyway I like your bow, cy
it well-made

[rich silo]

I memed myself instead it is done

@ magpie: I went for a more scenic dynamic angle instead where it’s like you would be doing target practice

[naive jacinth]

sometimes we all need to lie down to think better

[naive jacinth]

oo nice idea!

[rich silo]

@neon fern dude that's so pretty, it's like a coral reef sword!

[neon fern]

I got that silly idea from the whole lightsaber

[odd gust]

I love how ppl went from making rooms to fantasy weapons (they look amazing)

[neon fern]

I think it started off as a robot and became anything to weapons

[rich silo]

I don't think I've built a single "room" once so far ngl lol

[neon fern]

what have you been storing on your nest area

[lunar raft]

The weapon idea sounds sooo cooool, but what we really need is a music box so we can have our favourite relm sounds playing in the background

[orchid void]

i need a cool spear that lets me parry krill attacks

[lusty flax]

would looooove that

[orchid knot]

Oh the shop rotated again, I think I can afford two items this time

[short kiln]

Is anyone else unable to collect the wax from some of the seasonal candles in prairie? Just wanted to check here first before I submit a report wahahhaa

[slate veldt]

I'm very sorry! I was so sleepy that I accidentally arrived when I checked the news.

[hearty wigeon]

What do you guys think the upcoming quests are for in the season of nesting? I would love to hear your opinions!

[harsh torrent]

Maybe connecting the remaining seasons into the Aviary Village

Besides the weird ones like me, we have: Sanctuary, Prophecy, Assembly, Abyss, Remembrance

[orchid knot]

shattering guide deserves a shop in aviary!!!!

[lavish matrix]

What would shattering guide sell though

[golden ore]

3 hearts to go a memory of your choice.

[orchid knot]

mini shard ornaments uwu

[craggy zephyr]

shattering was below mid fight me on this (the shard event was nice before they made it harder, or perhaps it is my crippling skill issue)

[slate veldt]

Does anyone know what Google should do if it can't verify China's mobile phone number? Will it block the account? I'm worried!😥

[lavish matrix]

I lived through shattering as a moth this is nothing to me

[craggy zephyr]

teach me your ways....

[lavish matrix]

Step 1: be a crab bait
Step 2: drag ur friend as ur reluctant battery
Step 3: profit
Step 4: bring a good rechargeable prop

[craggy zephyr]

thy crab has outwit me, it flung me into a crystal once and I couldn't get up and I was stuck

[lavish matrix]

noooooo 😭😭 tbh the ones with the giant flying shards is pretty tricky (just make sure to come into a server with many other players, it'll quicken it up)

Anyway this has gone off beta topic

[craggy zephyr]

OOPS

[orchid knot]

I hope the next quests don't involve eden in some way, I do not trust aviary guides

[craggy zephyr]

they should implement the shard event inside the skykid apartments, daily routinely clean up 😁/j

[lavish matrix]

I keep hearing someone chanting Shattering TWO

[orchid knot]

is it you? close your mouth grey, stop it right now

[lavish matrix]

😭😭😭 spring cleaning but d a n g e r

[orchid knot]

just waiting for nesting guide to say "hey did you see those challenge prices? y'all gonna need to save up some hefty ac for those items, I know, I have a new quest for you! die!" 😭

[rich silo]

Honestly I'd like that
GIVE ME MORE AC

[olive forum]

I went to unlock the mannequin here and my god, why are the items for this Season's Eden candles so expensive?

[lavish matrix]

These aren't tied to the season of nesting, meant to be permanent so ye

[orchid knot]

gotta die lots to afford a fancy mannequin, alternatively just invite a friend over to stand in the corner of your nest displaying your favourite cosmetics

[rich silo]

so...a hostage

[spiral lodge]

Involuntary friend :)

[rich silo]

man that just gave me an idea
bubba sent me a picture of her skid in the bathtub on the wall and I'm like that is a perfect cryogenic chamber innit (though my first comment was that it's a bubba pokeball )
freeze your friends today! keep them with you forever 🫵

[orchid knot]

I forgot to post that here actually it was funny

[rich silo]

ooo you can change your stance after you sit down in the tub now

[orchid knot]

I wonder if they'll ever make it so people aren't just levitating randomly in your shared space in the workshop when they're in another space

[zealous charm]

Nesting has people doing everything but building houses, I love it

[rich silo]

WHAT'S THE POINT OF GIVING FURNITURE IF YOU DON'T USE IT FOR WHAT IT'S NOT INTENDED FOR

[orchid knot]

do do do do do dododo

[zealous charm]

Clearly it was intended for cranking 90s on the Nesting Guide

[rich silo]

I also love how much use I've been getting out of the geologist shard pot, it's so versatile

[lavish matrix]

Is it just me or the geologist shard pot looks like the totally not angry shard crabs

[orchid knot]

it's blueberry rock candy

[rich silo]

oh yeah bubba here's a tip if you want to take pictures from higher
put the blocks at the very edge of the build space, then put a brick at the top parallel to the barrier, turn that 90 degrees, and profit
because that side will be outside and you can just hit the camera button while standing on it and it's a legal placement

you can also do the same with the mirror, just make sure to rotate it on the floor before moving it because it really likes a specific orientation, and turn that 180

[orchid knot]

Ahh I wish I knew, I couldn't get a top view

[rich silo]

you can go back to edit your space and put that in for pictures

god bubba I need to work but your unintentional build gave me an idea

[shy rock]

Our house has 4 window lights on now... Is this building up to something?

[rich silo]

this snail is so cursed but it had to be done

[shy rock]

Looks like Gary

[rich silo]

man now someone has to complete the rest of bikini bottom like squidward's house

[orchid knot]

it changes every so often as far as I've noticed?

[bleak mural]

it's random every few hours/days , not sure about the timing yet!

[lavish matrix]

@hazy venture

Personally It's hard to see what the eventual outcome after the season ends because we haven't unlocked the last quests of the season, so we don't know what's in store for the season. But it's nice to have a private space for myself eventually, perfect place to hang out and chat with your close friends with no one possibly interfering.

Though I'll be getting a pass bc of the rare non collab season ult pants and the lil figurine

[unborn crag]

Does anyone know when the new wave of testers is?

[rich silo]

beta never gets that information

[high atlas]

Question with the mannequin ult, can you give other people the ability to wear ult gifts they don't have for a while with it?

Aw man I was hoping it would so I could allow others to

[rich silo]

it only equips items other people own in their closet
so like even if a non ult was on the mannequin, they can't put it on if they don't already own it

[peak portal]

Speaking of ults, anyone else think the guide shouldn’t have the moments glasses? I feel like it’s going to confuse+disappoint a lot of moths

[rich silo]

ranger had the ceasing commodore hair and that worked out fine
dreams guide has sparkler parent hair
moments guide themselves have the wise grandpa beard

they're not ults but it's in the same vein of "why can't I get this thing from this spirit"
also no matter what ults on old guides will always disappoint moths tbh

[peak portal]

Those aren’t ultimate rewards, though—they can get them eventually

I think it’s more devastating to find out that an item a spirit is wearing is unobtainable, especially if you’re paying for the pass (theoretically to obtain all of the items it has)

[rich silo]

ah just thought of another example
some of the rhythm spirits + moments spirits are straight up wearing the rhythm ult mask
bloom guide right now is wearing that mask
so wouldn't the same logic still apply

[balmy tapir]

Tgc loves that mask

[peak portal]

That’s true I still disagree with it being done, even if they’ve already been doing it

[rare spade]

for the ppl who have beta, how do yall feel abt the next season?

[rich silo]

/hides my bajillion builds I've made since the season started/

It won't be for everyone, but it's a fun return + improvement to shared spaces and touching on some long wishlisted community aspects

[somber oyster]

This season has been fun! Like actually, really fun. I’m curious to see what’s next in the .5 doot, but so far it has just been a lot of fun

I love seeing the creativity, I love the decorating, I like the quests. Yeah, fun and interactive in many ways

I said fun a million times 😭

[rich silo]

Sof(un)

building with like 65+ new props has definitely unlocked an old creative brain cell that really enjoyed the challenge of making new things like
it tickles a part of my brain that I used to have for minecraft but works better with how sky building mechanics works because then it's like
so how do I clip this now to get it to work the way I want

tbh if anything I want more smaller building blocks because I am literally working with like
the weirdest angles and increments with sconces, candles, pillows, towels, bricks, etc.
let me make the tiny adjustments more easily that I can wedge between things for placement

[balmy tapir]

It's just another shared spaces season, now without any worthwhile cosmetics at all 👍

[rich silo]

eh, that's subjective
I think it's also good timing alongside the cinnamoroll collab since that event has like 8 items overall which is a lot

[rare spade]

tnx for the info, i needed some positivity

[rich silo]

I honestly didn't expect much going into the season but I have had a bit of interest in shared spaces when they were first introduced, but the issue was that the prop pool at the time (assembly) was too small
and over the years even with remembrance and the featured prop section being added, it was still way too small to do much with
but now it's like oh this is game on I have room for activities!!

[rare spade]

i hope it's not that bad 💀

[rich silo]

only 4 cosmetics
it's majority furniture pieces for decorating

[cosmic vine]

the nesting ult pants saved my life and I will name my ||s||kids after them

genuinely can't understand having beef with nesting cosmetics when they nailed literally every piece out of four that we have

[rich silo]

People just want more clothes to wear 😔

[cosmic vine]

I get it but I'm also screaming cause
the nesting hair fills the same slot as the aurora ult to me, but it's better (imo), free (in beta), and doesn't have any fandom weight attached

I was so emotionally distant from the season until the cosmetics were added, but now I'm genuinely excited for it to come out
legit had a complete 180
(well, also, because of how they made the props look when carried. they are glorious)

[balmy tapir]

All of them are so mid to me. Pencil is the only unique one, and I still know it won't be used because it's covered by majority of hairs, and pants are just ok. I still don't understand the cape bc it's just so incredibly boring and plain

[balmy tapir]

Yeah it is. And collab items would only count if they weren't majorly paid. Like, you bet they did more items for it bc there's none in the season

[rich silo]

There's 65+ props which is an excessive amount of items compared to how many cosmetics there normally would be
but eh I digress, if you don't like the season then whatever

[balmy tapir]

Sure, but none of them are cosmetics

They're releasing the game on pc right before this season, all the moths that come with it will be only getting like one hair and three pieces of furniture

[limber nacelle]

65+ props I'll likely never use. 😞 Oh well, at least someone will find uses for them I suppose.

[uncut ginkgo]

As true as that may be, they're getting a nest and this is actual gameplay that we don't get much in general. if you told me two years ago we'd practically have houses in Aviary then I would've likely laughed in your face.

[rich silo]

will say this is the most I've ever logged back into the game to actually play the game
a lot of sky's gameplay is just CR rinse and repeat and it's nice to have one other aspect expanded

[balmy tapir]

Tedious prop stacking is not very interesting gameplay to me.
Adding nests is definitely big. Too bad there's only the bare minimum to put in them if you're poor, and wooden props don't match with it in any way

[balmy tapir]

Your builds are creative and get what you're saying about more props allowing for more to do with them, it's just too bad that it has to be a season

[rich silo]

wdym it's too bad it's a season
it's a major game update, usually that stuff becomes a season in itself
the questline also makes sense because it introduces players who may have never decorated things before to try it out themselves, assembly didn't do that, and remembrance had a different themeing that was more sensitive than [hey decorate for fun!]

[balmy tapir]

Yeah, but it means there's three months of nothing to do, there's nothing compelling to me in any part of it

[rich silo]

then have a nice break from the live game

[balmy tapir]

The thing is I don't want a break, and you can't really say that to everyone who just wants the normal season structure

[rich silo]

I also miss regular realm seasons, but like
if you don't want a break there's also a lot of other games out there to invest your time into alongside sky if you're not into nesting storyline
just get on for CR then get off or whatever, use the seasonal candles for big conversion at the end

[balmy tapir]

Like, it is what it is, they're doing another prop season and I dislike those. The chat has been so positive about this season when nothing really structurally changed, I'll be a bit of a hater idk

[rich silo]

no, people are just as upset about the lack of cosmetics, it's happened consistently
but it hasn't been like....a constant negativity, just disappointment

[buoyant heart]

I think it's nice to have a break from just cosmetics (a purely aesthetic and non-functional aspect of the game) and focus on expanding shared spaces + props! It's fun to dress up your skid, but it's wonderful to see them expand upon another way to engage with the game. With it, there's also more opportunity for TGC to get feedback about this particular aspect for future improvements and to invite players to try out something new.

I enjoy the standard "formula" a lot as well, so I get the disappointment. And I'm sorry it's not to your tastes but I hope you can spend this time still enjoying the parts of Sky you do like, and relax as you look forward to what comes next.

[rich silo]

I was definitely like oh god my burnout when the season was first announced cuz I was like man we're getting back to back aviary seasons why we just had revival and then collab and back to aviary can we leeaaaveee but then the other quests unlocked and I was like oh wow this is actually interesting
gave it a try and ended up enjoying it (though it is also in part my personal interest in environment art and building that contributes to this)

I also look at this like
there's a lot of games that provide interior decorating features (like terraria/stardew valley/minecraft/subnautica etc.) but sky's ones are not permanent in the same way
so like how to say
it could also draw in players who aren't as interested in cosmetics to try playing sky for the creative building aspect as well

[balmy tapir]

My whole shtick is that I get on, cr, change my outfit, cr tomorrow. I'm really here just for the grind and the fashion. And I like getting new stuff for new looks, or refreshing old ones. Like, I can recognize that what I enjoy is somewhat specific.
I don't exactly dislike the concept of nests or expansion to props, but there's a lot of things big and small that sour the impression, and this season just ends up catering to only one small demographic with such a big step away from cosmetics

[covert bison]

I think the mannequin ult is a big deal for cosmetics lovers too. It and the pants have sold me on this season. I do feel the wood furniture is not matching the nest and other props very well and building isn’t for everyone, but there are exciting items for people who prioritize cosmetics too being introduced. (Wardrobe also)

[rich silo]

heck I hit enter

what I was gonna say was, the 'ult' rewards for the challenges as high the ac cost as it is is like
like the rewards are pretty darn good like that dresser has been wishlisted to the end of time it makes me so happy for people that it finally exists in some form, a way to carry all props around with you with a singular item

[tulip veldt]

i daresay the 'wants a house to decorate' demographic is actually pretty huge

[buoyant heart]

the (insert SpongeBob essay meme)

[limber nacelle]

I don't really believe Sky was intended to be about props before once upon a time. TGC probably didn't think about this until the introduction to Assembly and then the idea seems to have, well, expanded multiple times. It seems like they really want building foundations to be implemented and expanded upon to make player creativity (sometimes that creativity can be a bad thing though) because too much creativity can be used for evil intents. And I'm really surprised I haven't seen anything that is bad in terms of prop building. But again, this is probably trust put into the players. Which is something you don't see a lot of companies do.

[rich silo]

animal crossing fans rise up 😔 👊

[balmy tapir]

All of that is just for saving one outfit. The wardrobe do be big, I can agree on that. But I would rather just wear an instrument that matches my outfit, or nothing at all

[orchid knot]

I don't really think this season is catering to a small demographic at all, houses has been a massively requested feature for so long and shared spaces are popular enough that tgc have been working on remaking the system with which we interact with them, I really think overall live will love this season, but of course there'll be those who don't enjoy it - that's just like any new content, not everyone will enjoy everything.

[rich silo]

you know what I really hope for with that fence situation I see outside the workshop

pets like I feel like that would actually be possible if they just lived in our nest

[limber nacelle]

I'll be honest, this is probably a season I'll end up passing since I'm part of the group that doesn't want these things in general. But maybe it's because I'm also burnt out very badly from Sky in general. My friends are really the only reason I am even still playing for at least an hour a day. And I used to play religiously.

[cosmic vine]

I'm sorry, but what do you even mean? the history of housing systems in different mmos spans decades
i say what's good enough for literal kids games is also safe enough for sky

[limber nacelle]

I mean TGC probably once didn't even think about the props in the game when it was in its early stages of life, because it seemed like a game about flying and exploring at first.

[orchid knot]

figurine has me in a hold fr, I was thinking on the pass stuff before and when they dropped that there was no way I wouldn't be getting it

[rich silo]

I was gonna get it anyway because the key pendant is so cute 🤲
haven't had a favourite pendant design in a while and that one would go with so many fits
figurine is the cherry on top, so good

[limber nacelle]

I do hope there's more to this season than just the nests though. I did remember reading in the sneak peek blog post that we're in "building mode" so that's got to mean something.

[orchid knot]

I just wanna know why we don't get the rugs from the first quest

wait did cooldown increase? are we going doot drought?

[rich silo]

bubba did you see my drawing of gremlin washing machine

[cosmic vine]

they put out the localizations in the last doot, it's so jover 😔

[balmy tapir]

People wanted houses, but were they ready for a prop-only season?
Idk, are they that popular? Since they added the ability to place them anywhere there's been some nice hangout spots and grandma burners, but that's kinda it. They never really changed the system to not be incredibly clunky. Cy be sharing tips on how to build things in an incredibly roundabout way and idk how one has the patience for that

[rich silo]

the instrument display still has a WIP icon on it though so it's not over yet
and the dev:line thingos

[cosmic vine]

okay it might not be over, but it would be very funny if it just shipped like that

[balmy tapir]

They better fix the home conste being broken before it hits live

[orchid knot]

🌀 <- fossil gremlin having a bath

skybot stop making me a toilet krill challenge

[cosmic vine]

they made a translation error in my lang so bad that the players will be lead to believe that cinnamoroll can escape the aviary (he can't, I won't let him)
so I hope for another patch too

yeah yeah I did feedback

[rich silo]

I'm still holding out hope that the dresser will have a visual upgrade it can't end like this
how can the 66 AC instrument display have a unique back prop to the appearance and the 180 whatever dresser just looks the same

[buoyant heart]

I can't wait to walk around with my 20 ton dresser and accidentally give everyone around me a concussion every time I turn or bend over suddenly

[rich silo]

but you gotta add the moth tumble emote to the thingy they speeeennn

@ wren you already do that with your beauty and grace™️

[orchid knot]

I think it'll probably cater to the same audience who enjoy portable shared spaces, those were welcomed a lot initially for creating cozy or fun spots around realms that sky kids could temporarily call their own before people caught on for mass wax grilling so I imagine the players who like having temporary spaces of their own will enjoy having a permanent one for sure

I do think with this season they've been working on how the system works, I mean they've tried refining the UI at the very least and they've introduced new features like lighting we can interact with and such (that isn't just candles/flames), but there's always going to be room for improvement and more things we could hope to see expanded upon and included - I wonder if much will change with the second half of the season

[rich silo]

somehow I had a visual image of you being like
[insert meme of I can't read suddenly] and instead you get a concussion because you hit something

[buoyant heart]

PLEASE, THAT'S ACTUALLY PERFECT 😂

[rich silo]

the new UI with the highlighted objects is WAAAAYYY better and less finicky than trying to get the movement button to show up and press it, that was hell on earth
it's good to see them improve on old systems after player feedback

[cosmic vine]

honestly I'm genuinely looking forward to the dresser now, cause it's such a mom of the group prop
like, you can plop it anywhere and it would most likely benefit people around you
I genuinely want to buy it, then bring it to a few geyser events, and see people interact with it (group dress up less goo)

but I'm holding off my live ac for now because of the wes' ominous elder mask related message from earlier

[limber nacelle]

Oh yeah, as someone who plays on controller, it'll be weird at first to adjust to the new system but it's an actual improvement. It took me a second to adjust to it but it seems pretty good so far for highlighting and selecting props to change and rotate.

[rich silo]

the dresser is seriously an OP item it's insane
portable closet!!

it doesn't reduce the useability of the existing closets either because it really only shows items you own, so stuff that would be previews for events wouldn't show up in it either

[rich silo]

I've been doing art for a long time now so
I have a lot of patience to get results it's just a normal part of the process to not get what you want first try, so you just have to be more creative about it

[balmy tapir]

It is much better than the button, but it's still torturous to pick an object when there's one placed on another, manipulating the camera to try and make the thing connect where you want it, dragging things around to place them generally, etc etc. If I wanted a builder game I wouldn't choose sky, it's just too annoying for me

[rich silo]

I do play on ipad so that makes a big difference yeah
I'd imagine it would be way more finicky on smaller screens

[balmy tapir]

I do art too, but I don't have to fistfight my mouse to just do a simple thing, like what sky building feels like 😭

[rich silo]

let’s just say I redrew (from howl’s moving castle) howl’s bedroom in 4 days once
I have a lot of patience for environment related stuff
sky building is significantly simpler than the stuff I draw

[balmy tapir]

If you draw environments it probably is

[rich silo]

I only got into drawing characters more often when I got into sky, if that's any relevance
like before sky it was just not something I invested my time into
pure bgs and only bgs (and very simplified characters)

[balmy tapir]

I only really like drawing characters, it is what's appealing to me. Bg ppl are scary I think

[naive jacinth]

Scary and very cool
draws an abstract bg and that's all

[lavish matrix]

There's still more to offer than just seasons if seasons aren't your thing. You could try OOBing or give music playing a try too if this season isn't your thing. Not to mention the many upcoming events to fill your hunger for cosmetics

bg artists rise up

[balmy tapir]

Hopefully next events won't hit my wallet as hard as Cinnamoroll will

[rich silo]

so that also feeds into how I think when I build I guess
because I'm more used to drawing urban interior/exterior which is like, heavily condensed scenes
#completed-sky-fanart-and-creations message <- my 2022 skytober which was mostly painted environments
but yeah it's like, the way I approach building is more leaning to art fundamentals where it's more about creating a believeable silhouette and it doesn't matter what objects I use to build it (though it does matter a bit, because I prefer for the silhouette to have a cleaner consistent line so I do choose certain objects on purpose because of the shape they make)

[lavish matrix]

Hopefully so! Even so, there will still be more gameplay to offer than just cosmetics. I'm sure people will appreciate more focus on the gameplay than just worrying about their fashion and looks

[rich silo]

but for the most part like
wooden or stone doesn't matter to me as long as it helps convey the idea in the end, colour cohesion matters not (but is nice when it does work out)

[rich silo]

bgs are way easier than characters tbh because the only thing you can get wrong is perspective

[lavish matrix]

^^^ Big agree
plus organic environments (like nature) is waaaaay easier than characters in general
It helps that sky bgs are very simple yet appealing

[balmy tapir]

Perspective is kind of hard though
I draw for myself and bgs are just not really interesting for me and I'm not good at them, body shapes are just much more fun

[rich silo]

everyone sucks when they try something they haven't practiced as long for, pretty normal
but ye as long as you draw stuff you vibe with it's fine

[lavish matrix]

Oh one more thing! If you want to try learning bgs, you could take up sky photography! It helps you practice your background composition and not to mention, you get to appreciate the game more through the new lens. There's so much to do in sky than just seasons and cosmetics

[balmy tapir]

The swords you made were pretty impressive. When I try to do something I just honestly want something open and simple, things start to feel like clutter too fast

[rich silo]

mm, try approach it differently then
start from the big shapes then go to small

for me I placed the blades first before anything else because the direction was really important for how they would go with the emote/stance I used in the end to pose with
it's easier to fiddle with details after the main shapes are in

[balmy tapir]

I wanted to try something like that. Doing studies is work though

[rich silo]

if you draw your OCs in your studies then it's giving them places to explore and vibe in
it's not 'work' at that point but fun cuz you gave yourself a carrot on a stick

it's also good to build up a habit of looking up references when drawing backgrounds anyway because no way can we feasibly remember everything
like when I built my motorcycle and the initial tractor I 100% looked up reference and stuck to them, same with the wheelchairs and the carriage thingo I built that didn't last long
hot air balloon too I looked that up

it will look more believeable because it's closer to what it looks like irl -> the thing people see the most often

[lavish matrix]

doing studies is honestly a fun way to spend your free time, it's kind of relaxing actually. Having refs helps your brain visualise things better and not to stress about creating the entire composition from scratch on your own

Even you get to study the colours, Sky is very good at convenying emotions and atmosphere through the colours

[balmy tapir]

I don't really have ocs much
If I do bgs I do look for references and such, it's more so my stuff is just character-centric and bgs would be not here not there most of the time.
And honestly refining art takes a lot of spoons, it's not really relaxing like sketching shapes

[rich silo]

we are definitely off topic-ing the season channel though so but this was a fun conversation about art

[balmy tapir]

True

[rich silo]

I still stand by that after you've drawn detail hell on earth that is howl's bedroom, anything else is easy in comparison
like that scene was so intense it's like drawing mini bgs within a larger bg and building in sky is very similar to just making small one off pieces that would be part of the bigger picture (but you're nerfed on prop limits so the power is limited shakes fist)

[balmy tapir]

I'll take your word on that
I just don't have that much patience

[rich silo]

/gets carried off while screaming and yelling/ IF THE SCONCES WERE INCREASED BACK TO 10 I COULD BUILD AN ALLIGATOR WITH ALL THE TEETH

[lavish matrix]

You don't really have to refine art for studies, it's meant to be a loose way of doing art while learning and developing your art fundamentals at the same time

[rich silo]

grey, the conversation is over
talking about art is off topic and we'd get mod bonked

[lavish matrix]

Oh right im back too late hahah, I gotta bring the convo over to #cozy-sky-discussion then xD

[runic mural]

Maybe you should consider decreasing the number of players required to complete the "house party with 5 players" challenge. I know many frustrated players have trouble completing the Assembly quest that "only" needs 4 players (not just moths). The new one needs even more people.

[rich silo]

they did add the cafe in aviary for people to find others, that would be helpful for that

[lavish matrix]

it'd be awkward if the house party is just 2 players

[covert bison]

Somehow it completed for me with only 2 other people... Older build so it might be fixed by now

[urban coral]

I think mine completed with less than 5 too. Maybe it’s not all at once? Or bugged. But my 50 sunsets completed with only like 45 too. So who knows. I agree bout the similarity to Assembly quests. Poor friendless moths. Give em a break

[high atlas]

I'm hoping the cafe they added will help with finding friends to help! Like "a looking for group" channel but in the game

[trim oasis]

I like the idea of a season focused on house decorations, I have always loved those and unfortunately I never could have a game with that before, or I did, but rarely. I am more passive than active, and I usually only get interested in darker cosmetics (Performance, shattering, animal masks…)

The season would be cozy, and I hope more will enjoy it, but from what I have seen a lot of people have mixed feelings about the season. I hope everything will go well.

[upper drift]

say, is everything still costing normal candles and hearts for everything in beta

[rich silo]

if you mean the permanent furniture, still hearts, candles and ascended candles yeah

[somber oyster]

Rock location updates, my favourite #beta-screenshots-videos message

[bleak mural]

can't wait for someone to calculate the rock rotation

[cold spindle]

So does the rock rotate along a golden ratio curve or a quaso curve? Or a waffle? Maybe square? What am i even asking-

[rich silo]

I was building a pokemon scene and somehow got hit with server errors out of nowhere 😔 a sign to get back to work and try build again later

[ancient jay]

How long is a day/night cycle in Aviary?
I’m having a hard time doing the Sunsets mission

[rich silo]

takes an hour
iirc sunset is like starts at the 40 minute mark to 50

[ancient jay]

Oh wait so it’s not like how it’s posted on Sky Wiki for live?

[rich silo]

it was changed for beta testing

[dry reef]

@rich silo a golden square waffle curve, obviously

[naive jacinth]

For some reason I saw a capybara with wings on the 2nd screen
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[rich silo]

the grandpa prop does make a good capybara head shape

[rich silo]

god now I want the lil head orange to be an actual prop so I could make the friggin capybara with tangerines in tub

[shy rock]

Hey how can I find that list of Aviary mp3 files?

[rich silo]

I think it was removed a while back, maybe just ask the person who posted them originally?

[shy rock]

Ah dang, I don't recall who originally posted them. I hadn't paid attention and now I suddenly need one of them for a thing!

[cold spindle]

That got a chuckle out of me, but why did you ping cy?

I just got the ping too, discord be broken sometimes lol

[rich silo]

@shy rock LISTEN THERE'S NO OTHER ORB IN THE GAME I HAD TO MAKE DO

technically there's the snowglobe but that thing has a base so it doesn't really count

[shy rock]

I found it clever!!

[rich silo]

man now I just had the idea of using the orb as the orange instead but it's too big
unless the capybara becomes bigger but then they won't fit in the tub hm

[shy rock]

Hey person who did the aviary village mp3s, in the unlikely scenario that you see this please hmu

also that would be a VERY big (and discolored) orange

a peeled orange

I just thought of a way to go about it but I don't think the game would let me because of how clipping works
use the mannequin to wear the orange then pierce it through another prop so it looks like it's sticking through but then it won't work because the tub would clip and not let it be placed

[naive jacinth]

I wanted to suggest a snow globe from Days of Feast instead of a light bulb, but they are the same size (the snow globe is even a little larger)

[rich silo]

me waiting impatiently for the 3 minute cooldown in screenshots to go down so I can share build (by then this chat timer should have ended too lol)

[shy rock]

LMAO USING THE MANNEQUIN FOR THE ORANGE AHAHAHA

[rich silo]

HELL YEAH LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
honestly I'm just the most glad that I could put it right against the side of the tub, it wouldn't work as well otherwise

[shy rock]

how did you counter the clipping??

[rich silo]

the head of the mannequin can clip through anything (most things)
so just placed the lantern first then put the mannequin under and profit
the tub was also tall enough that the mannequin just barely fit beside it too so it was a lot of convenient scaling that made it possible

ideally if the orange was farther back it would be more accurate but honestly I'm pretty happy how it turned out in the end can't push the mannequin any closer or it turns red

[tulip veldt]

placable yuzu when

[rich silo]

@shrewd jungle the instrument display lets you place instruments you own on the thing and play it
you can't share your instrument with others though, and it resets every time you reload your nest/shared space
otherwise it is a 66 AC method to play the switch pack ocarina

[shrewd jungle]

I already bought it 😦

[tulip veldt]

ok this is gonna drive me nuts, is there one candle in prairie that doesnt give season wax so i am half a candle down or did i get hit with a server lag

[rich silo]

If you can still get wax from other realms or regular wax from candles then you probably got hit with lag or you missed one

[tulip veldt]

well i just ran it again to check if i missed one

[naive jacinth]

oh, I had this too! also on the prairie. ran again, but nothing happened

[nocturne blade]

That happened to me yesterday in Vault

[tulip veldt]

at least its a whole one and not like, just one wax ball

[somber oyster]

Ive been dealing with this specific thing since the beginning of the season. Driving me crazy

[tulip veldt]

you gotta sneak up on one and just...pick up 2

[rich silo]

I haven't had the issue other than just missing a whole candle cuz I overlooked it

[naive jacinth]

I got 2 wax balls, and for three days I tried not to collect 1 ball so that the candle would fill completely

I cannot look at a candle that is not completely filled. it's weird I know >__>

[rich silo]

no like...can't you just skip a whole candle or however many so it evens out and you don't need to keep doing the fiddly orb collection lmao

[naive jacinth]

A. It's simple. I like to complicate my life.

[tulip veldt]

you are always down or up some fraction til you fix it

[rain fulcrum]

Is the Eden door bugged? It will not open

[rich silo]

No changes to mannequin or instrument display this build
Display still has WIP icon and dev text

[somber oyster]

Ooooh, I wonder if more challenges are changed now!! #beta-screenshots-videos message

[rich silo]

is it time to bust out moth sof

[somber oyster]

Moth Sof is no longer… (unfortunately moth sof is in indefinite purgatory after the local account issue)

I do have alt Sof…. Lemme see

[frail merlin]

the buy 3 pieces of furniture and high five challenges havent changed i hope the publishing one has changed but cant check

[somber oyster]

Oooh it’s still “buy 15”?

[naive jacinth]

yes

[somber oyster]

Oh welp, I’ll check on alt if we can buy props in multiple sessions

[somber oyster]

WE CAN!!!!!!!

[naive jacinth]

I bought the carpet before the update and it's 1/15 for me

[urban coral]

Yeah the 3 I bought for the first quest are showing up as counting for the 15 as well. Still 3/15 tho

[brave tangle]

Ooo btw can we place more then one figurine in nest now? Didnt have time to check it yet

[naive jacinth]

We can place only one figurine

[brave tangle]

Hmm :c i was hoping they would make it possible to place more i need to be able to make more outfits one is not enough

[inner laurel]

Hey season test chat, how are we doing?

[urban coral]

Yeah it would be so cool to have a bunch of quick change figurines, but no :( and the fact that it’s an ultimate prolly means something similar won’t ever be offered again. Kinda sad. This thing had great potential

[craggy zephyr]

question, do you guys prefer seasons with or without the typical casts of spirits?

[rich silo]

oh so like the 15 one would actually be 12 more to buy then?

[urban coral]

Yeah I guess. Unless it’s a bug

[haughty plume]

Personally I prefer to have spirits

[rich silo]

I prefer without but that’s just me finding it funny when they don’t show up
it’s a nice change of pace than just /another batch of humanoids/

[craggy zephyr]

humanoids (derogatory) /j

[urban coral]

I like spirts cause they bring emotes and stances and whatnot. The ones without just don’t really feel Seasonal. And no idea how TS will work?

[rich silo]

honestly before the game adds more emotes and stances we need a friggin fav emote system in play the list is too long

[craggy zephyr]

they should add more creatures I want more sky biology did they all go extinct or what

ghost creatures then 💔

[urban coral]

We could use more calls and stances. Emotes are a bit of a mess…ya (why arsonist?)

[rich silo]

as an outfit req fulfiller it’s still extremely useful to me as is to be able to switch back when i’m done changing for other things, having one preset to be saved

do wish it was a more widely accessible ability but alas

[craggy zephyr]

it's so embarrassing to scroll for an emote and do another one accidentally

[urban coral]

In beta it’s nice to have for getting a bare bones skykid for pics but only in the nest :( and in live I’d prefer to have multiple outfits

[haughty plume]

Or when someone bows at you and you want to bow back but it's not in your list of most recently used emotes so by the time you find it they've moved on

[urban coral]

Way back when we had a #wishlist I wished for the emote button of the emote another person was using to pop up over their head so you could easy bow or wave back

[iron island]

Update!

[balmy tapir]

Outside of spirits bringing emotes there's a potential to have a character to be invested in and all.
I liked how shattering did a no-spirit season, with revival and this one it's just eh

[lavish matrix]

I'm leaning to the spirits ones, but I also like the no spirit seasons as long as there's a good reason for the absence of the spirits, plus we have guides to interact with. About Shattering, I'm not really sure bc the guide is just. A piece of rock xD
I loved Steward and Nesting Guides, it's like these seasons aren't spiritless in an essence, they're still part of the seasons :>

Plus it helps from not getting overwhelmed with emotes and drawing all the new spirits for a while

[nocturne blade]

I will not accept slander against my rock dad (the Shattering Guide)

[tulip veldt]

awaiting return of rock dad

[lavish matrix]

Rock dad omg I'm so sorry sir

[zealous charm]

Wes did mention it on the Q’n’A live stream the other day

Also, I feel like we’ll find out how “no-spirit” seasons will return this year with Shattering’s spirits possibly making a debut

[slate veldt]

Excuse me, where is the beta update announcement?

[high atlas]

It seems they haven't put out patch notes for the last couple updates. But at the moment, they've just been general bug fixes.

[slate veldt]

That is to say, there is no special announcement, just update yourself when logging in to the game?

[high atlas]

Well it's possible they're just busy atm but hopefully we get doot notes soon

[slate veldt]

Okay, thank you.

[rich silo]

tbh if there were update notes it would just be Bug Fixes & Improvements™️
lack of notes tends to happen closer to the end of patch testing cycle

[orchid knot]

wait we can place more than one figure in our nests now?
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[rich silo]

I think it might be an edit

yeah it's an edit I went to check it's still only one placeable

[somber oyster]

It’s not possible for a friend to place one while they’re in your Nest?

[rich silo]

I'm going to check right now
nope the thing is blacked out to heck, not doable

[atomic spade]

Guys I have a question Is this season's tea table or sofa have a chat function with strangers? 👉🏻👈🏻

[rich silo]

the table works like the remembrance teapot thingo so very likely it does the same because you have to hit the sit icon first to use the cup

[prime umbra]

What’s the name of the final ultimate gift btw

[orchid knot]

just a lil guy

[golden ore]

mini-me

[clear sleet]

I'm sad this season didn't have emotes and most things were furniture

[clear sleet]

It's feel doesn't enough to attract me because we can't what we don't have from it

New furniture from this season are cute, but most time I don't chat in this game after done my daily task

Moreover, the seasonal candles for unlock every furniture is too much for me

This season kinda good for resting and play casually for my opinion

[somber oyster]

@lofty crypt I think your nest looks super cozy and spacious!!!!

I love what you’ve done with the stringlights, a little nest for Oreo, and the candles make it feel very home-y

Also I didn’t know what to do with those stone blocks, but you’ve given me some ideas now!

[maiden basin]

Sorry if this counts like a cold ping

Technically, you can place the ult twice if one of them is part of your Nest deco and the other one is the prop that you equip on your back. Not sure if it's still possible after the recent update

But this was a pic I took from the previous doot
#beta-screenshots-videos message

White cape is the deco, Aurora wings is the prop on my back

[rich silo]

you can't do it, I tried

[orchid knot]

No worries, unfortunately they changed that some builds ago, it seems we can't place props in our nests now

[burnt coral]

Same
I don't care about props I always skipped props from traveling spirits to save
So in the end I will have nothing for my house

So I'm gonna just skip this pass
And probably this whole season (except for the traveling spirits)

If the ults included those glasses (I know they are the ones from moments but they could have added a variation of them like the rhythm/performance hairs)
I would have bought the pass just for them

Only cause I wear glasses in real life

[covert bison]

Yeah I would like if they added some unique wire framed glasses to the guide even if it was pass locked. A lot of people have hoped for this type of glasses to be added to sky.

[rain fulcrum]

Dailies are bugged right?

[prisma sapphire]

Whats the weird sky kid looking thing in the furniture tab?

[lavish matrix]

I think it's a mini figure! It's like the thatskyshop skykid figurine but it can be your skykid in game

[cobalt solstice]

So the quests are still bugged for the season. Can't see sunsets and I know I've seen like 3 and it says 0/30 still ...

Do we just have to sit in our nest for 30 whole sun cycles like we are in a timeout ?? Lol

[vale temple]

@viral quest about your image in screens: it is an ult reward that is a placeable Minifigure of your Skykid. When you put it down it copies the outfit you have on.

[hallow pendant]

Yeah this season is doing nothing for me. Got excited about our rooms but the expensive items dampened my enthusiasm. This is the first season I won’t be completing.

[delicate echo]

Hi widget. I was able to finish this task by going in an out of my nest for 30 time during 1 sunset ( note that i did that in a previous update/version + i think it was reset because of the recent update)

[cobalt solstice]

I feel like that's a lot of work and most people would assume that you can do it multiple times over many days instead of all at once which is my impression given the high count for spaces quests and sunset watching

[delicate echo]

My friend did it at different times and it still counted. he had like 3 times counted from previous days then he did the ones left in the same way i did and it still worked (ofc all that before the recent update)

[cobalt solstice]

Ah ok. I will try the quests again at some point.

Wait what the who changed my name 🤣

[delicate echo]

U are hunted by the bees now

[cobalt solstice]

It's strangely appropriate considering I reached my first 1000 candles threshold in live the other day ... Does this mean I'm the queen bee now 🤣🐝

[terse ridge]

Anyone else not being able to get the dailies or the daily seasonal candle? I updated but it still won’t work?

[rich silo]

Tbh it doesn't load well when I first log on but
Sometimes I go run into aviary to pick them up and it works there instead

[finite anchor]

yeah I also need to wait a minute or two before I can pick them up at home when I log in

[lofty crypt]

I think when you first load into the game getting wax and stuff doesn't work, but if you leave the place you spawn, stuff starts working again

[haughty plume]

#beta-screenshots-videos message this is a good tank! But all I can think of is Nesting Guide over at the counter having war flashbacks

[rich silo]

ngl von it's giving real strong howl's moving castle vibes XD

....wait

[tiny lintel]

There's a thin line between a shared space being a pile of scraps squished together and a shared space being an artwork featured in the museum

[rich silo]

man I just realised if I had the singular deck chair prop I could really make a lot of use out of it
....sunbather has that, right

THEY DO LET'S GO

[rich silo]

Oh man I just realised
If the baffled botanist prop was fixed I could use it for spotlights on the floor by placing it reverse

[nimble saddle]

Hello! Would it be possible to have a list with all the furniture and prices please!

[sage briar]

Cy I might need to hire you to decorate my nest

[golden ore]

where did cy get all that inspiration from

[nimble saddle]

I want to plan for savings

[rich silo]

price guides aren't allowed in beta so you won't see that
you can find all furniture appearances if you look up potato beta log though!

[rich silo]

ngl most of the time it's like oh this prop would look cool as x and then I just go
or it's because of something I saw someone build or say then something clicks in my head like oh a challenge
but I think it's also largely because I draw background art for freelance so my brain is just wired in that way to think about how to fill spaces, and that extends to builds in a similar way where I have an idea then go look up reference to try replicate and the satisfaction comes out of succeeding

then it's just brute force trial and error until something works

I don't build something unless I know there's enough pieces to get to roughly what I want the final thing to look like

WAIT HUH PREVIEW MODE LETS ME USE MY CAMERA PROP WHILE IT'S ACTIVE SO I DON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THE WAY ANYMORE???? HUH
I feedbacked this a couple builds ago and it was fixed

[rich silo]

after like 2 other people who also want me to decorate their nest 😂 (I'm honoured, thank you )
don't find me for interior design though, I'm just the best at building specific structures

[sage briar]

Lolll

[rich silo]

no seriously I haven't made a single normal interior since nesting started

I could try a 4 poster bed situation though

[nimble saddle]

Ok thank you !

[rich silo]

instrument display still has WIP button and dev: thingos so nothing new there

oh we got another purple asset situation
the doorway to nests turned magenta

workshop SS for other players vanished, can't see them

[naive jacinth]

I can't see them too in prev build
I saw them today

[naive jacinth]

light beams is still weird in nest

[orchid knot]

I'm starting to think it might be intentional, I hope not though because it's way too intense at certain day cycles

[rich silo]

@urban coral it is also sad that the feature is ult locked because it has been wishlisted to death that people want to be able to save presets/loadouts of outfits

[urban coral]

Was holding hope that maybe something similar would be at the top of the quest tree but the fact that the ultimate is kinda nerfed any “free” item would be worse. And I guess the mannequin is our “free” version but that’s just totally not the same :(

[rich silo]

Generally sky ults don't give players a mega huge advantage but like
Like outfits are a solid core of the game and if there isn't an igc equivalent then it's like dude that's not it
I'm perfectly happy with the way the mannequin works, it's a good display item
But we need outfit loadouts to be multiple and accessible to all players

[urban coral]

Maybe….. they could make the ultimate the back prop item that you can take all over the place and the igc item is only for your nest :D

[tulip veldt]

placing a lot of those seems like it would be ....intensive

[rich silo]

Well that's the closet dresser lol

[urban coral]

But the dresser you have to actually change into stuff. The figurine is like bam! Instant.
I only want like 3. Not being all greedy

[rich silo]

I don't want more figurines I just want more loadouts
The appearance is the bonus, I just want more of the FUNCTION

[urban coral]

Yeah. True. Just gimme fav outfit options

Question? Is the ultimate campfire available in the nest and shared spaces only if you own it?

[rich silo]

What campfire

[urban coral]

They made that a spell so more people can use it even tho that’s an ultimate. Just not as a back prop. so maybe we’ll get something that mimics the function of the figurine as like a nest only item
Why am i terrible? :( 🐝

[rich silo]

I mean isn't there a table spell too
Nest only items would just be like the furniture situation before they added all the back prop equivalents and it's probably not a good idea to make them nest exclusive because people are gonna forget they exist because they don't show up outside of them in the closet, which wouldn't be good for gameplay

I am sleepy and brain went on a tangent
Don't think that would be very viable regardless tbh

I've also realised too late that like
The ult is pay to win because you can save an outfit loadout and it's not fair

Somehow brain didn't connect the dots when people were disappointed that the mannequin doesn't do the same feature but to me it didn't matter because it could only display 4 items and not every single closet category

[urban coral]

The figurine doesn’t change everything either.

[rich silo]

It's good for personal use
Not so much with other people

[urban coral]

Wish it would show and change your back prop. And my elder mask. At least in the nest

Oooo… they fixed the elder mask. Now it works

[rich silo]

It does the teeny glowy?
Also after my rant I realised that they've done igc equivalents of ults before at the end of trees like the abyss masks so gonna hold out on that

[urban coral]

Yes it always was glowy on the figurine. At least for me but it wouldn’t put it on or take it off when you hit the “wear this” button. It just kept your elder mask on or wouldn’t change what you had on to it before. Now it all equips except the back props.

[rich silo]

There's an ult and igc equivalent of the moments camera so f2p will likely get something similar for last season quest (coping)

[open sparrow]

I would still love to be able to display our owned masks as wall mounts like in the Aviary

I don't even mind if we can't put them on, as props they'd be great for the visual appeal.

[urban coral]

Walk in closet expansion

[uncut ginkgo]

Ik everything in beta is subject to change, especially pricing but I can't help but think even if furniture were to rotate on a weekly basis(assuming) then wouldn't that just bring back what people were complaining about in terms of IGC during (days of) Events

[lavish matrix]

what they were complaining about specifically? :o just wondering

though the furnitures are permanent in beta unlike limited weeks long annual event, I'm not sure if it would be the same effect

[woven rampart]

Heyy I have problem in my chat can anyone help me

[uncut ginkgo]

The pricing in general, the event IGC were becoming more and more pricey than previous years which caused players to start feeling as though they'd get more worth from traveling spirits than said events because it felt like they were in the same price bracket and most skykids couldn't afford spending about 130 candles on a Cape then try to clear out a traveling spirit a week or two later. I'm throwing my two cents in hopes that furniture doesn't introduce a new grind

[lavish matrix]

Ohh that's makes sense, I think one part of the complaint is that before EC were introduced, there isn't a lot of time to grind for the event items especially it's an annual event occurring only on a few weeks. While these furnitures are permanent, so I'm sure players would worry less about them and can just save up to buy it once it comes back to rotation. But yeah I'm throwing two cents too that it's not as overwhelming as pre EC events

I have an idea, I gotta feedback and suggest for the rotations to be numbered like Rotation 1 or A to know which sets of items available in that rotation

[uncut ginkgo]

That's a fair point, I'm trying to see it from the perspective of a moth who just got access to the nest feature and realises that now they might have to grind so many other things but another argument could be made for veterans who don't have much to spend on. I guess you can't really make everyone happy but as long as TGC gives me a krill rug then I'm good

[lavish matrix]

Krill rug

But yeah I'm glad it doesn't display everything all at once, otherwise the moths would be terrified ngl

[uncut ginkgo]

A little headcanon is moths holding an auction with everyone honking whilst holding a candle as the assembly guide tries to sell them a lawn chair

[lavish matrix]

Lmaooo that's hilarious and cute 😭😂😂
I can imagine nesting guide being baffled in the background

[ancient jay]

Just got the the tiny figurine and I love the save “save outfit” feature. It pairs nicely with the outfit dresser

[harsh torrent]

I've been homeless for far too long 😭

[tall void]

oh interesting! i think at some point they changed what quest you need to have completed to access the current season we're testing. i never did the aviary quests for a while and quit before i did the eden one, but i swear the furniture hut was never unlocked for me until now. though, i'm not sure if it was due to an update or due to me restarting the game after unlocking the eden quest, since i've only gotten the chance to open beta again tonight

[rich silo]

it's never been tied to quest completion, it's more like you have to at least start the one that tells you to head to eden

[tall void]

ah ok, it must have needed me to restart the game then, when i first started the eden quest it didn’t show up

or at least leave aviary and come back

[rich silo]

oh? backend fix the friend nodes at workshop shared space are back

[somber oyster]

Hey guys, a little challenge for the shared space makers among us: old abyss boat remake? 👀

[rich silo]

/comes busting through the wall like kool-aid man/
_I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED _

man if I had my live closet item pool that would make this a lot easier lol but we shall try

listen sof season of nesting is just it tickles my minecraft builder/background artist instincts I love building

[somber oyster]

Honestly all the creations are so incredible to see 🤣 truly good work. Big brain time!!!

[rich silo]

have to say goodbye to the cool plane I made
will just do a oneshot build in one go version then maybe, we'll see

need reference picture for old abyss boat though, it’s hard to find

[orchid knot]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
Moon this is so cool

[somber oyster]

Omg #beta-screenshots-videos message 10/10

[rich silo]

I'm really pleased with my bootleg on the flag too

[stable bolt]

I really want to be a tester, it’s a pity I don’t have this opportunity ...

[somber oyster]

Hi! You are not alone, the last invite wave happened almost a year ago.

Beta will have some slots open when the developers need new testers. While waiting, you can prepare a little by getting the “beta invites” role here: #beta-faq message.

Once you have that role, you will be notified on discord when the beta opens again. From that moment on, you can be a tester!
