Hey guys crawling out of my grave before lying back down to deliver a message i must pass on
Join us in celebrating Sky's 5th anniversary with a HUGE AURORA concert gathering!
During the anniversary the AURORA concert will be accessible for all skykids (the wings will be on display on the office roof and warp you to the concert area). What better opportunity to once again experience the AURORA concert with a huge crowd!
We'll be doing two times to accommodate all time zones:
🏟️ Concert 1: 6 hours after reset
🏟️ Concert 2: 18 hours after reset
⭐️Brought to you by the Sky Community-driven AURORA Concert Organizing Group, (SCACOG) in collaboration with Aurora 2.0, ALAS (Alianza Latinoamericana de Sky) and the Sky Creator Troupe.⭐️
🦋 Hope to see you there!

I attended the art gallery in game last night and it was awesome! I’m sure other people have better screenshots than me but I just had to share.

I find it really cool and interesting that the different places are based on different virtues.

Also lemme just say, the guardian spirit here looks kinda creepy. I wonder why they depicted him this way?

Also WE GOT LORE!!! WE GOT OFFICIAL LORE!!! The king sacrificed himself in order to produce a new generation of Sky children. Which fits Eden’s aesthetic of Sacrifice. But WHY did he have to, and who was he fighting? I’d love some more context behind this.
Sky lore peeps! Share your thoughts!!

Event tickets in sky were never going to work anyway.
It's way too good to be true; a currency that cannot be transferred across events or into candles/hearts for the sole purpose of making event cosmetics easier to obtain, that is collected by participating in the event itself? Thats already fishy enough by tgc's standards.
Thatgamecompany has a habit of making short term solutions for long term problems because of the sheer amount of content they make yearly, leaving less room to optimize regular gameplay. ET has probably been the most apparent example of this. (MAAAAJOR YAP SESSION AHEAD!)
When event tickets were first released, I was ecstatic. I was already struggling to keep up with Days of Bloom and Mischief since I have taken many breaks from sky, but I couldn't begin to fathom how the prices may feel to a new player. I also hated picking and choosing between what items to buy simply because i didn't dedicate the past two weeks so candlerunning alone. Hopefully this new addition of ET would take off that load and i can enjoy the following events to it's fullest, and well, I did.
For the first year that is. These cosmetics that costed ET were damn near free for me. Yet, in the back of my head i always wondered what would happen the following year once these ET cosmetics came back, alongside the new ones that were to be released. Would they cost just as much ET as last year's items? Then collecting ET would only get more stressful and inflate its value. Would the past items go away? That is unfair to new players and pushes FOMO to get everything every year.
Maybe the total price could stay the same but older items depreciate each year as newer ones release, making the oldest ones the cheapest.
And to my great surprise as i look at beta logs for this year's days of summer, not a single item from the year before is under 90 candles! How could this possibly be fair to new players who are trying to enjoy sky for what it is and get items? I've seen some people argue that the player has the choice to not get all cosmetics, which is true, but I'd like to show you what thought process is implied with this system. Think:
"We know you don't fully know your way around sky's economy, or don't have the time to grind everyday, but for this year only these new items are free just by participating in the event! And if you don't, for any reason, the price of the items will be worth 3-6 hours of candlerunning on top of MORE cosmetics! But it's all up to you!"
This isn't to say us as a playerbase have zero autonomy, but i hope you can see how FOMO is enforced when you add a currency with zero value outside of an annual 2 week event that gives players a "now or never" mindset. This is great in the moment, it pushes people to participate! Yet, this ruthlessly punishes players who aren't available for any reason, even those who weren't aware of sky before joining.
Sky is still a new game. Event tickets were only introduced a year ago, but if tgc keeps going down this economic pattern then imagine the amount of cosmetics locked away from new players, or players who took breaks, because of this exponential increase in pricing!
This is a more subjective opinion- but let me be honest; these cosmetics are not worth their candle/heart prices.
I was lucky enough to get all the days of style and days of summer items from last year for ET and i barely wore them, i can only imagine ONE item from each event being rewearable. I didn't mind though because i knew the towel capes and silly glasses were nice starter items for moths, but it's not even moth friendly anymore?! In the past only items that were in high demand were priced outrageously like rhythm and lightseeker TS, and now I'm spending extra for a purple top hat that doesn't even match any of the other purples in this game☠️☠️ you're getting less bang for your buck with a 110 candle towel cape bro
And lastly, there are other issues I've seen in sky that i would say are parallel to this whole event ticket situation. The time gaps between seasons have grown significantly smaller, and each seasonal update has been saturated with glitches and disappointment. Season of the Nine-Colored Deer is another very apparent example of this for me. The castle and crescent lake is done beautifully and the quests are decent, but no one is returning to the area. The rest of the town is empty and awkward, and half the map is in a canyon where you spawn so it's already a good 2-3 minutes getting out of that area alone. The place is just rushed. Its inconvenient.
Ill be posting a poll right after this post, but me personally i would not mind having 3 seasons a year if it meant higher quality content and more breaks from events. More spirits that are well thought out, detailed seasonal quests that arent cleanups or scavenger hunts, less quantity but higher quality cosmetics and emotes, and elder appearances! It's clear that tgc has a more complex world design outside of Sky: cotl when we look at The Two Embers, but that the energy it takes to make it in game is placed elsewhere.
Thatgamecompany is pushing out more content than they ever have before and I think their work is starting to crumble under the weight.
If you made it here THANK YOU!!! you're a lifesaver, theres so much that i want to say and i really hope a lot of skids see this post so that we can get a cohesive discussion going❤️

wow wow wow! so much happening for SkyFest!! i visited all of the live events today, and here’s what i saw.
first the big keynote, the state of sky.
seeing these massive crowds is crazy, and to see acknowledgement of the QOL improvements players are looking for? yes!!! i am so hopeful seeing the votes on reducing the grind in sky. i quit playing right before season of aurora because of it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we have confirmation on 4 seasons. Duets, Moomin, and in 2025 there will be two seasons for the Two Embers. my prediction is that it will be for the dawn ember, then the dusk ember, played alongside the release of the series. i think that it will be the summer and fall seasons, and that there will be a spring season between moomin and two embers.
there was confirmation that the clip is at the end of the first episode.
Tumblr media
then onto the guided tour! as a game developer, this was SO COOL to see! one prototype in here looks like something i have made before. its reassuring to see that familiar environment and know what it can become.
Tumblr media
there was certainly some tech issues, but it was neat to be toured around, and i have a recording of it. seeing all the techy background just makes me so happy.
myself and @serenefork attended events together, and took a break in the middle to watch the AURORA concert! (EVERYONE can watch it for free now, just visit the office and the cape is on display for use!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
moving on, the tech keynote was VERY INTERESTING to me, as its the things i am actively studying. they mentioned looking for people to hire and by god i wish i was there in person to ask questions and get info out of these engineers. it was a bit funny to turn around and see the room much emptier than the first keynote, though.
Tumblr media
overall, a lovely time! its good to see all the info on the problem solving done to make such cool events real. here’s to the betterment of sky! see y’all tomorrow!

reasons why I love the Sky community:
I was just at the Aviary parade and as Hopeful Steward walked round on their own with no other spirits following because there were no others in their season, I noticed loads of skykids following behind them so they wouldn't be walking alone
I love that skykid hivemind thing we have going on where we all collectively think "hey this thing is happening. wouldn't it be nice if everyone reacted to it by doing this?" and we know we can't make that happen alone but we all decide to do it anyway, and it does happen because we all did our little part in it
