Sky: Children of the Light

I am 100% confident that I had collected all of the WL on the map after doing Eden this week (apart from trials), and was at 149 buffs knowing I just need todays shard to get to 150, but as part of my daily run I've just flown through Isle, and to my surprise, there was a WL waiting for me at the top of the hill/steps heading to the temple.

I collected it and am now at 150, definitely hadn't lost any in the last few days, so what's going on?

There has been a bugged WL on the map at Isle for absolute ages, I wonder if it has anything to do with an attempted fix? (E: just checked the nearest map shrine, and the WL indicator for Isle is gone, so this might be it!)

Either way, worth having a look, in case it isn't just me!

Duets Guide

Introducing the Season of Duets Guide!

🪙 Taught lessons for a while to help earn money

🔍 Has learned to tell when someone's exaggerating

😵‍💫 Completely blanked in their 1st recital, had to restart their song twice

🎹 Teaching themselves how to play piano while sitting backwards

Compassionate Cellist

Meet the Season’s 2nd Spirit, the Compassionate Cellist:

💭 Invented a code that uses whistling songs

🎶Loves to learn sea shanties

🪟 If they see a spider trapped indoors, they'll help it get back outside

👀Sometimes they like busking more than playing onstage, to tell the truth

🔷 Partial resolution for the Light treats at the Ancestor’s Table flying away. Some may still fly away, we’re working on a full fix as soon as possible!

🔷 Crashes in Season of Duets & Tournament of Triumph

🔷 Screen fading when approaching 8-person puzzle in Daylight Prairie

I was so excited to buy the disco ball specifically to use as a beacon to call attention and get help (with 4 player doors, yeti race, to mark for others where the turtle darkness bloom ended up, to give focus to good musicians, but most importantly the 4 player assembly quest), and was finding it surprisingly effective (I only had to wait like 15 minutes before 3 players showed up to do the quest!), it was really the main reason I was willing to spend so many hearts, only to now find out none of the other players could actually see its glowing lights, and it was all just a lucky coincidence 😂😂

I think having these little parties happen (not too clear in the image, but we were all dancing lol) must have given me the wrong impression 😳

For the record, I can completely understand why it is this way, with the disco ball especially, with photosensitivity and all that, but I figured at least the shell would work like an instrument (which can be muted separately already).

Oh well, live and learn. Won't stop me throwing impromptu discos though, or wishing I could carry both these props at the same time! 🎉😂

We have identified and resolved an issue preventing Switch players from receiving gifts from Sky kids using different platforms.

Gifts that do not include candles can now be gifted to Switch players from other platforms. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

For details, please visit: What is Gifting in-app purchase items to friends, and how does it work?

Let me start by saying I'm not competitive and don't care about who wins or how many points anyone has scored, I just participate for the in game currency and if the mini game is fun, then for that.

Now to my observation - I know there has been a lot of speculation about the groupings of the teams and that blues just have more people so they're getting more points. I generally barely register the overall results or those of a race and just wait for the pop up to go away so I can go get the medal.

But today I noticed something - there were two different shapes of blue cape in the end result. I didn't manage to get a screenshot of course, and the few times I tried to replicate this it didn't happen again (and all the capes, even if duplicate colour were the same shape), but I'm wondering, especially since we often only see greyed out capes in the results so maybe this has somehow gone under the radar, if they had intended to have 5 teams, to go with 5 Olympic rings (and the 5th realm most people run - vault), but for whatever reason the 5th team go absorbed in to blue, which is why there are so many more people in it.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? I know this isn't the biggest pool of players to ask, but I'm don't really use any of the other platforms where people talk abut Sky (beyond lurking some on reddit).

Anyway, just an observation and my personal conspiracy to go with it lol

We’ve just released a hotfix to address an issue on PC that was caused by antivirus software flagging the game.

Thank you!

Players who have visited Valley of Triumph, and at least started the 3rd quest from the Hopeful Steward in Aviary Village, can relive this Spirit’s memories at the Village Theatre & collect their beloved expression.

We are aware of the following issues that were introduced with the release of 0.26.2:

• In order to correct a crash detected with the Season of Duets quest 2, we will temporarily disable the Festival Tech. This will allow players to complete the quest, however, they will no longer see the crowd of players outside of their own server.

• Players may notice an error message stating their connection is unstable and that their journey may be affected. This will not affect saving quests or in-game progression.

• A permanent fix will be released as soon as possible that will return Festival Tech and restore the intended experience for players.

• [Japanese Text] During Tournament of Triumph, the number of days remaining and the number of Event Tickets available are not tracking correctly in the hint text.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.

📣 Reminder: We’re trying a new, flexible format for event currency!

🏅2 event currency in the event area daily

🏅25 in the first ten days of the event

🏅25 in the second ten days of the event

🏅5 event currency in the event area on the last day (Aug. 18)

This means players can earn one event currency each time they complete a Tournament game, including repeating a game, up to the 25 available in each “pool”. After the first 10 days, once the second half of the Tournament begins, 25 more become available!

➕ This is in addition to the daily event currency, and the 5 available on the final day (Aug. 18)

💭 5 Years of wonder 

🤝 5 years of friendship 

🤸 5 years of joy 

📸 5 years of adventure

✨ 5 years of SKY! 

And we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. Thank you for celebrating with us!

Players who have visited Valley of Triumph ✔️, and at least started the 3rd quest from the Hopeful Steward in Aviary Village, can relive this Spirit’s memories at the Forgotten Ark & collect their beloved expression.

It's officially time for Season of Duets in Sky! ✨

Thank you for making SkyFest 2024 in Tokyo an unforgettable celebration! 🎉

The parades, galleries, and SkyFest Cinema events will resume in-game on July 15th at 1 AM PDT. ✨

Do people really spend money on a cape to access this place???

It was giving me anxiety from the second I walked through the door, but then I accidentally clicked a thing that started a video on all the screens, and it was like something out of a nightmare, I had to get out of there 😂😂

Introducing 🥁🥁

Emote favorites!

Emote expressions are a cornerstone of Sky and we think it’s time for a feature that will make them even easier to use.

🔹 A bug has been found that causes the burnable light orbs at the Belonging Guides table to float to the ceiling of the tree when they spawn. A fix will be released with a future update.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are aware of the following bugs that are ongoing or were introduced with the arrival of Patch 0.26.1:

🔹 Due to device limitations, SkyFest in game streaming will not be available on some Android, Huawei devices and on all Nintendo Switch devices.

🔹 Players may be unable to navigate through the Emote menu after using a spell that requires the player to light the fire icon to use the prop. Example spells are the Large Birthday Cake and the bonfire. Canceling the spell will re-enable Emote menu navigation.

🔹 Sky may crash when attempting to start the jam session with the Frantic Stagehand and the Performance Guide.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience these may cause.

Sky kids! 👋

We've got a new TINY patch update coming for Sky.
