Sky: Children of the Light News

The Light in Sky bursts into a spectrum of color when Season of Radiance arrives! This Season delivers an eagerly anticipated feature for Sky kids to unleash their creativity and playfulness, and from outfits to Spirits themselves, even the familiar becomes new again.


[h2]First Stop: The Dye Workshop[/h2]
The Season begins on January 20th PST (UTC -8) with the arrival of the Radiance Guide. Follow them to the new Dye Workshop in Aviary Village, where they’ll teach you everything you need to know about using dyes in Sky. Naturally you’ll learn how to dye items from your closet—and you’ll also find out where to find dyes, too.

That’s because Season of Radiance is experienced throughout the realms of Sky. A new type of Dark Plant will be found sprouting in the kingdom. Venture forth with friends to explore the levels—each plant yields a different color of Light that can be forged into dyes. Use those dyes to add vibrant reds, greens, yellows, and more to your outfit, or mix them to create dozens of other colors to choose from.



[h2]Delight in a World of Color[/h2]
Experiment as colors become available with each Seasonal Quest, and you’ll be on your way to adding your own unique flair to your favorite outfits. Bold jewel tones, peaceful pastels, rustic earth colors, cheerful carnival hues, dramatic goth shades—your avatar is truly your canvas!

The dye feature can be used with existing items too: Many of your capes, pants, tunics, and more have dyeable areas for you to customize! Preview possible color combinations as you select your favorites. Once you’ve decided and dyed your design, you can save up to two dyed versions of an item with the “Outfit Styles” option.

Along with the Radiance Guide, three Spirits who first appeared during Season of Gratitude (Sky’s first Season!) will also be waiting to meet you. Each one teaches a new emote, which may have you dancing or cartwheeling for joy.



[h2]Seasonal Items to Make Your Own[/h2]
This Season’s Spirits bring hairstyles, outfits, capes, and more, not to mention an instrument. Feel free to keep things in their original color if you enjoy a more minimalist aesthetic, but the Spirits have designed them especially to be dyed, and we can’t wait to see the designs you create!

The Radiance Guide offers two Ultimate Gifts for Season Pass holders to unlock while the Season is active. They’ll bring a uniquely shaped cape, too, which can be unlocked with Hearts even after the Season ends—a memento to mark the opening of Aviary Village’s Dye Workshop! And, naturally, these can all be customized with your favorite dyes.

Days of Feast will look curious this year, inviting you to fall (quite literally) into an all-new adventure: Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe!


[h2]Follow Your Curiosity[/h2]
From December 23rd through January 12th, get ready for three weeks of whirlwind adventures! Inspired by the magic and mischief of a certain Wonderland tale, this year the Aviary Village Cafe is transformed into a holiday-themed fantastical tea party that you won’t want to miss!



[h2]A Tiny Perspective, a Grand Adventure[/h2]
Your journey begins with a tumble—straight into the heart of the Wonderland Cafe! Here, everything is topsy-turvy: The teapots are towering, a handful of books is a veritable maze, and you? Well, let’s just say you’ll feel smaller than a teacup.

Follow a very harried Dark Crab into the cafe and meet event Spirits who may seem a bit… mad, but don’t let that fool you—they have some very important (and very fun) requests for you.

Join the Mad Hatter in a lively jam session, pour tea for guests at the grandest (and quirkiest) tea party, and navigate through all kinds of curious surprises. Need a break from so much excitement? The cafe is filled with cozy places where you can curl up for a nap, as a friendly manatee may be able to point out. There’s no shortage of fun and silliness waiting for you!



[h2]Explore Hidden Surprises[/h2]
Completing activities with Spirits in the Wonderland Cafe each day to gather Event Ticket Light, up to 5 Tickets’ worth each day. Plus, you can explore at your own pace to uncover 15 hidden snowflake-shaped Event Tickets scattered throughout the space, available during the entire event.



You can also unlock whimsical cosmetics in the event area or the in-game shop. From a stacked hat worthy of Wonderland, to a teacup bathtub, even a charming yellow dress inspired by Alice’s classic look, there’s something for every Sky kid looking to carry part of Wonderland with them.

One of the most magical items? The Wonderland Cafe Corridor prop—a portal back to the Wonderland Cafe that you and nearby Sky kids can use. It’s perfect for revisiting this tiny-but-grand adventure anytime you’d like! Even after the event ends, you’ll find the Wonderland Hare Hairstyle available to unlock in the Wonderland Cafe (however, the other items debuting with this event will be available only during Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe and are not currently scheduled to return in the future).



And it wouldn’t be the holidays without spending time with loved ones—keep an eye out for someone very dear, and perhaps a bit like family, who might just stop by for a spot of tea.


[h2]New Adventures, Beloved Traditions[/h2]
Don’t forget about other Days of Feast traditions! The Secret Area accessible from the Vault of Knowledge opens its doors to everyone, and you’ll find freshly fallen snow in a realm known more for its lush summery green.

If you want your avatar to experience a snowy transformation of its own, keep watch in the Village of Dreams for a Spirit who you might say is more of a hermit. Perhaps it’s the elevation change, but they do get a bit sneezy when they come down from the mountain side, and who knows what will happen if you stand close by…



Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe opens the door to fantastical surprises, all-new perspectives, and classic celebrations with friends and Spirits. When the magic arrives on December 23rd, join the adventure and make memories worthy of any storybook. We’ll see you in the skies!

Greetings, Adventurers! There’s plenty to dive into with this update: the conclusion of Ninny’s story in Season of Moomin, surprising twists in a special year-end collaboration, big updates for Days of Music, and another round of feature updates and quality of life improvements that we can’t wait to share—among MANY other things.



[h2]Season of Moomin Continues[/h2]
More chapters of Season of Moomin are waiting for you to explore! As the remaining quests become available, check in with the Storybook Guide to experience the rest of this classic tale alongside Moominmama, Too-ticky, and Little My—not to mention Ninny and the rest of the Moomin family.

While the Season continues, be sure to unlock themed hairstyles, capes, outfits, and more. These are available in the Storybook Guide’s area, which you can access by talking to the Guide when you see them in Aviary Village or Home.

With this update, a new cape will appear in the in-game shop after completing the final Seasonal Quest, which becomes available on December 9th:

• Moominmamma's Masterpiece cape: $24.99 (all prices USD)
  

As part of this special collaboration, this cape comes with the ability to teleport to the inside of a special version of the Moominvalley house! The ability can be activated after completing all six Seasonal Quests. Although the Moomin family and their friends won’t be home during your visit, you can bring your friends with you and explore the space together as Sky kids.

If you’re looking for the other Moomin in-app purchases in the meantime, instead of the in-game Shop, those are now available in the Storybook Guide’s area.

Moominmamma’s Masterpiece cape and other special collaboration in-app purchases will be available only during the Season and are not currently planned to return once it concludes. If you see something you’d like, be sure to check the in-game store and the Storybook Guide’s area before the Season ends!

As for the emote and the two items available in the Storybook Guide’s Friendship Tree in exchange for regular Candles, these are planned to continue to be available after the Season ends.

Season of Moomin continues until 23:59 December 29th (all times PST, UTC -8).



[h2]Days of Music Echoes in the Realms[/h2]
From November 25th through December 8th Pacific time, Days of Music returns! This year’s event brings a suite of updates, with activities, features, and more inviting you to share music in brand new ways.

Talk to the event guide Spirit in Aviary Village or Home. They’ll teleport you to stages across the realms.* Each location provides a unique prompt to create a song to share with others, as simple or intricate as you’d like. Choose from one of the instruments provided nearby, and then record your tune using a Shared Memory.

It’s the perfect opportunity to listen to other players’ creations, too! Browse through the other Shared Memories at the stage and you may even find inspiration for the next song you compose.

Four event currency can be forged each day from event currency Light. This can be gathered as you take part in the event's activities. Plus, 15 bonus event currency will be placed around Aviary Village for the duration of the event, so no need to hurry to find them on the first day (keep your eye out for musical symbols)!

Days of Music will feature new items plus mementos returning from previous years. New items available during the event are:

• Marching Band Cape: 50 event currency
  
• Music Marching Uniform outfit: $9.99
  

These next two items will be introduced when Days of Music starts, and they’ll remain permanently available to unlock or purchase in Harmony Hall even after the event ends:

• Jam Station: 250 Candles
  
• Fledgling Upright Piano: $4.99
  This piano appears in the prop category, which means that other players will be able to try it if you place it somewhere such as your Nest.

For details on returning Days of Music items, please refer to patch notes from previous years. As for items originally introduced for event currency, the Marching Band hat and saxophone will be 55 and 125 Candles respectively; the Marching Band hat will be available only during the event, but the saxophone will remain in Harmony Hall permanently. Free trial spells for all items can be found in Harmony Hall.

Speaking of the Jam Station: This item offers a TON of new features to enjoy! It offers a default instrument for each of its four parts, and every other instrument you already have in your closet are options to choose for each part too (the exception to this are instruments that are categorized as a placeable, like Duets pianos or the Fledgling Upright piano). Instrument selections and patterns will autosave, and the updated UI makes it easier to edit each part.

There’s more packed into the Jam Stations than we can fit in the patch notes, but we can’t wait to see the performances you make with them!

(*The event guide in Home will be missing the teleport option in its Friendship Tree. This is not intended, and the teleport function will be available as intended in future events.)

[h2]Sharing Gifts During Days of Giving[/h2]
From 00:00 December 9th until 23:59 December 22nd PST (UTC -8), Days of Giving returns. During this time there will be:

• Double Seasonal Light: 8 clusters of Seasonal Light can be collected in the daily realm for a total of two Seasonal Candles each day.
  
• Double Treasure Candles: There will be 8 locations of large Treasure Candles in the same realm each day, instead of four.
  
• Double Hearts: Every Heart and partial Heart gift sent during the event to a friend will be doubled.
  

Note: Hearts and partial Heart gifts are doubled when they’re sent during the event. If a gift is sent before Days of Giving begins but is then collected during the event, it will not be doubled. Double Hearts will not apply to Hearts sent through Player Creations.



[h2]Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe: A Curious Adventure[/h2]
From December 23, 2024 through January 12, 2025 get ready for a fantastical twist on Sky’s Days of Feast celebration! This special collaboration brings the magic of Alice in Wonderland to Sky with an event filled with memorable characters, stories, and surprises.

When the event begins, keep your eye out in Home and Aviary Village for a creature who’s in a hurry. Follow them to find the entrance to an all-new event area where you’ll experience Sky from a very different perspective.

Take a moment to talk with the various event Spirits there; they’ll also share some event currency Light if you help them with their requests. If you need a break from their shenanigans, their tea party offers Sky kids some Social Light, too.

In fact, five event currency can be gathered by completing the two activities with the Wonderland Cafe Spirits each day. Plus, as you explore what the area has to offer, you can find 15 bonus event currency tucked away around the Cafe. Like the bonus event currency in Days of Music, these are available during the entire event, so feel free to take your time to search for them.

Don’t forget to explore around the rest of Sky, too! Days of Feast favorites are back in places like Dreams Village, Home, and the Secret Area available from the Vault of Knowledge. So if you’ve been looking forward to being transformed into a snow kid or spending time with a favorite Spirit in the snow hut in Home, you’ll have the chance to do just that.

New items coming with Sky x Alice’s Wonderland Cafe are:

• Wonderland Stacked Hat: 18 event currency
  
• Wonderland Frantic Hair: 30 event currency
  
• Wonderland Teacup Bath prop: 36 event currency
  
• Wonderland Hare Hairstyle: 150 Candles
  This item will be permanently available to unlock after the event ends by traveling to the Wonderland Cafe via the Wonderland Cafe Corridor prop
• Wonderland Primrose Pinafore Set: $11.99
  Includes a hair accessory and a primrose-yellow dress inspired by the outfit Alice wore in Lewis Carroll’s classic story
• Wonderland Cafe Corridor: $19.99
  This passageway allows you to travel back to the Wonderland Cafe from everywhere but the stormiest places in Sky, even after the event ends. Once placed, the travel ability can be used by any player who interacts with it.

For details on returning items, please refer to patch notes from previous years. As for items introduced for event currency last year, the Winter Pine Cone Hairclip and Winter Feast Snowboard will be 35 and 145 Candles respectively. Free trial spells for all items are available in Wonderland Cafe.


[h2]A Special Group of Visiting Spirits is On Its Way[/h2]
A group of past Seasonal Spirits is set to arrive and add extra energy to the start of the new year!

Mark your calendars for January 13th through 26th 2025. During that time, one of the Spirits from this group will appear in Aviary Village and Home to teleport you to where they and their friends will gather. While they’re visiting, you’ll have the chance to unlock seasonal items that they brought with them during their original seasons.


[h2]New Year’s Fireworks[/h2]
To celebrate the beginning of 2025, don’t miss Sky’s special fireworks show! It will be held in Home and Aviary Village starting at 02:00 December 31st (the earliest New Year, 00:00 in Kiribati), and repeating every hour until 04:00 January 1st (the latest New Year, 00:00 on Howland Island).

To enter the New Year’s fireworks show in Aviary Village, teleport from the fireworks staff. This will be available if you’ve completed the quest at the top of the Hopeful Steward’s Friendship Tree.

Watch with old friends, join with new ones, or mark the moment in whatever way is cozy to you.



[h2]Even More Updates[/h2]

News in Sky
Players have shared a lot of feedback asking for ways to keep up with official news and announcements shared through blog posts and patch notes. In 0.27.5, we’re excited to start rolling out a News feature that will make these easily accessible in the game!

In this update, players on mobile platforms will find this feature in the Settings menu. Simply tap on the News icon and you’ll be able to easily scroll through Sky’s most recent blog posts and patch notes.

If you’re on Steam, Switch, or PlayStation, don’t worry, we’ll be unveiling this feature for you soon! In the meantime, we’re working on optimizing it to work smoothly and meet the unique needs of console platforms. Stay tuned for a future update!


Start Sky in Your Nest, and Other Nesting & Aviary Updates
Another feature we’re adding based on your feedback: You can now choose to start the game in your Nest! This is a quieter and calmer starting point, so you’ll still need to hop down to Aviary Village to check your Friendship Constellation and Daily Quests. Note that when you use the option in the Settings or Expression menus to teleport back to your “home base,” players with their Nest set as their starting point will be teleported to the realm portals in Aviary.

“Hop down?” you ask. “From where?” Great question—you’ll be able to hop down to Aviary Village from the cozy balcony that has also been added to Nests in this update.

Meanwhile in Aviary Village:

• The Nesting Workshop has a new prop that you can use to hang one of your masks as a wall decoration. Find it in the workshop menu under a newly updated “permanently available” selection of items that can be unlocked.
  
• Speaking of items in the Nesting Worskhop—the Nesting Workshop now has a section for permanent offerings in addition to a rotating items section. This will make it possible to unlock certain Nest essentials without having to wait for their rotation to come around.
  
• The place to pick up the daily Season Candle and Hearts gifted through Player Creations has been moved from the Friendship Shrine to the statue near the gates to the levels.
  

Construction Work in Aviary Village
In 0.27.5, you may notice some construction work in the area where the events workshop was. While that construction is underway, this will still be the place to go if you’d like to travel to an event area quickly—Spirits will be waiting for you here while their event is active, and they’ll offer you a teleport option. Those event locations will also be where event cosmetics can be unlocked or purchased, too.


Save Custom Chat Messages in your Emote Favorites Menu
If there’s a particular phrase you use a lot when chatting with friends, now you can add it to your emote favorites menu! Use this to quickly send custom chat messages like “Thanks!” or “Meet me back in Aviary Village,” or “No, you shouldn't try to hug a Dark Dragon.”


Friendly Account Linking Reminder…
We have some fun stuff planned to share with you in December. On a related note, if you have a Twitch account, be sure to link it with your Sky account.


Continued Daily Quest Improvements
Along with another batch of new Daily Quests (we hope you’ve been enjoying them!), we’ve included some quality of life improvements. For example:

• In the realms, use your Sky kid’s call to reveal a radar point for Daily Quest Spirits whom you haven’t already met.
  
• Photo quests have a progress meter.
  
• When you turn in your Daily Quests to a Spirit, the icon has been updated from an exclamation mark to a checkmark.
  
• In Aviary Village, the Spirit behind the counter will offer you a small treat after you turn in all of your quests.
  
• Daily Quest list text will update with hints once you start to do them.
  

Additional Graphics Options for Mobile Platforms
Players on mobile devices can now choose separate settings from resolution and frame rates under Graphics Settings in the Settings menu. Note that support for some resolution and frame rate options is dependent on device capabilities.

Gameplay

• ✶ Fixed bug that prevented players from interacting with certain UI elements while moving the virtual joystick.

Cosmetics

• ✶ Players with short avatars or wearing the chibi mask probably noticed that several capes, namely the Duets ultimate cape, Snowflake Cape, and Mischief Gossamer Cape, had appeared strangely shrunken when equipped.

• Improved the wooden grain texture of the Mischief Withered Horns.

General Fixes and Improvements:

• Updated the description when using the “teleport home” feature to make it clearer that you’ll be returning to the realm portals in your chosen area, to avoid confusion that could arise with using the term “home” to refer to more than one area.
  
• ✶ Chat translations can once again be reverted in the chat log.
  
• ✶ In areas where there is both a Shared Memory shrine and a Spirit, the shrine no longer disappears after a player completes their memory quest.
  
• ✶ Flying or diving while wearing the Mischief Raven-feathered Cloak won’t leave black pixellated streaks in the sky or water.
  
• ✶ Fixed a bug in the outfit shop in Aviary Village that could make the Moth and Sparrow Appreciation Pack displays appear to be black or unlit.
  
• ✶ Fixed a bug that could prevent mobile players from using a bluetooth keyboard.
  
• ✶ When a nearby player who was using the reading expression exits the game, their book should no longer remain floating awkwardly in the level as it if expects you to put it away or something.
  
• ✶ If a players is asked to complete an in-game survey and starts to fill it out, tapping outside of the survey window should no longer cause survey results to be lost or reset.
  
• ✶ A blocked player’s Shared Memories, Shared Spaces, and Message Boats should no longer load into the level, even if you had selected the option to “follow”/see more of their creations.
  
• ✶ The warning that appears when you’ve reached the maximum capacity for a Shared Space is a bit clearer now.
  
• Updated the minimum distance that Player Creations can be placed from the Ancestor’s Table in the Elevated Clearing.

This year’s Days of Music is back and ready to take the celebration from Harmony Hall to Aviary Village and beyond. With revamped activities, features, and more, this year’s event brings new ways for Sky kids and their songs to take center stage!


[h2]Music Across the Realms[/h2]
From November 25th through December 8th PST (UTC -8), a friendly event guide will be ready to greet you in Aviary Village and Home. They’ve been working with some friends to prepare a series of stages for Sky kids to perform on, each one placed in a different realm.

Talk to the event guide and they’ll teleport you to the performance location for the day. Each location provides a unique prompt—simply use that prompt as inspiration to create a song as simple or intricate as you’d like! Choose from one of the instruments provided nearby, and then record your tune using a Shared Memory.



These stages are also the perfect place to listen to other players’ musical creations. Browse through Shared Memories at the stage and you may even find inspiration for your next song (and if you find someone practicing an instrument or sharing their songs live, be sure to support them with a round of applause).


[h2]Musical Mementos[/h2]
Four event currency can be forged each day from event currency Light. This can be gathered as you take part in the event's activities. Plus, 15 bonus event currency will be placed around Aviary Village for the duration of the event, so there’s no need to hurry to find them on the first day. Keep your eye out for musical symbols as you’re walking (or flying) around town!



With that event currency, you can unlock a new cape fit for a marching band. Other new and returning items can also be found in Harmony Hall—this year features a new outfit, plus a placeable piano and a Jam Station that will both remain permanently available even when Days of Music concludes.



[h2]About That Jam Station… [/h2]
The Jam Station arrives as a placeable prop! Unlock this item and you’ll be able to compose, experiment with, and play back songs with up to four different parts in harmony.

But this isn’t simply the Jam Station you know from Harmony Hall or past Anniversary events. We’ve added a TON of features for you when you take it out into the realms.

For example:

• An updated UI makes it easier to edit each part
  
• Every instrument in the instrument section of your closet can be chosen as a sound for your Jam Station to use
  
• Instrument selections and patterns will autosave as you create your Jam Station tune
  

Tl;dr we hope you have your best dance emotes ready, because the tunes in Nests, Shared Spaces, and beyond will take Sky dance parties to a whole new level.



Days of Music is the chance for everyone, no matter their music experience, to share melodies and even create new memories with them. From the corridors of Harmony Hall to stages in Aviary Village and across the realms, Days of Music is an event to inspire and be inspired by. We’ll see you in the skies!

Greetings, Adventurers! In this update, we’re excited to finally reveal Season of Moomin with you! Days of Mischief is also headed your way, along with some updates to improve your gameplay experience and another hefty batch of bug fixes.



[h2]Season of Moomin[/h2]
Sky’s newest collaboration arrives in this update! Enter a timeless story as an invisible child meets the friendly family of Moomintrolls and struggles to emerge from the shadows of her past.

Meet the Moomins and their companions as they get to know Ninny the invisible child. As you explore the enchanting world of Tove Jansson’s classic characters, you’ll discover the ways that friendship and acceptance can restore color no matter how faded the world may seem.

To begin your journey, check in with the Moomin Storybook. This guide offers a series of quests that gradually unfold to tell the story of the Season from both the Moomins' perspective and a Sky Child's perspective.

Along the way you'll have the chance to unlock themed items that reflect the Season—special outfits, capes, hairstyles, an instrument, and more!

The Moomin Storybook brings several items in their Friendship Tree: A new expression, plus an outfit and a cozy family portrait that can be unlocked for regular Candles. Season Pass holders will also have the chance to unlock three Ultimate Gifts.

In the in-game shop menu, you’ll also find special collaboration items inspired by some of the characters you’ll encounter during the Season:
(all prices USD)

• Hattifattener Shoulder Buddy: $2.99
  
• Pointed Snufkin Hat: $4.99
  
• Roving Snufkin Robe Set: $9.99 (Comes with scarf and outfit)
  
• Moomintroll Accessory Set: $11.99 (Includes ear and tail accessories)
  

Stay tuned for a soon-to-be-announced cape coming in the 0.27.5 update too—it will offer a memorable way to carry a piece of Moominvalley with you throughout Sky.

These special collaboration items are currently planned to be available only until the end of the Season.

Season of Moomin begins at 00:00 October 14th and continues until 23:59 December 29th (all times Pacific).


[h2]Season of Moomin: Sky Web Store Promotion[/h2]
After Season of Moomin begins on October 14th, the Sky Web Store will offer 15 additional regular Candles with the first purchase of any item during the Season. For more information about the Sky Web Store, see our FAQ page!



[h2]Days of Mischief[/h2]
First it was Dark Dragons, then it was Dark Crabs—but this year, something else altogether has been unleashed, and the Spirits in the Cackling Crab need Sky kids’ help!

The Spirits tried to summon a creature to the area above the cave, but something wasn’t quite right. Instead, something much more chaotic has appeared.

In each of the event’s three weekly phases, the Spirits will ask you to lend a hand to keep the chaos at bay. Help them take care of what they’ve brought in—on land, in the air, or even by the brooms they’ll lend you— and you can find event currency Light in the process too!

Up to 5 event currency can be forged each day by gathering event Light. That event Light can be gathered while participating in the activities the Mischief Spirits ask for your help with. Event currency can then be used to unlock this year’s new items:

• Mischief Star Sticker accessory: 16 event currency
  
• Mischief Cauldron: 22 event currency (Take a sip of this cauldron’s brew to temporarily turn your Sky kid green!)
  
• Mischief Spider Bun hairstyle: 36 event currency
  

These items can also be purchased:

• Mischief Raven-Feathered Cloak: $17.99
  
• Mischief Withered Broom: $19.99 (This prop offers your avatar a way to fly in all but the stormiest of places in the realms)
  

Items from earlier years of Days of Mischief will be back, too, for those who are interested. For all details on older items, please check out our patch notes for the event from previous years. As for the IGC (in-game currency) items introduced last year, the Goth Garment and Goth Boots will be 58 and 38 Candles respectively, and the Crabkin Accessory will be 36 Candles.

As usual, free trial spells from all items can be found in the event shop in Aviary Village.

And of course, the Secret Area accessible from the Vault of Knowledge is open to everyone while the event is running.

Days of Mischief will run from October 21st through November 10th Pacific Time. With tricks, pranks, spells, and transformations galore, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy during Sky’s spookiest event of the year!



[h2]New Daily Quests[/h2]
0.26.5 included our first set of new Daily Quests. Now in 0.27.0, we’re including another round that we hope you’ll enjoy! Perhaps you’ll discover new ways that the Spirits of Sky are connected to the realms, and to each other.

(We’ve also included some small changes related to using the counter where these Spirits wait, which you may also notice!)


[h2]Nesting Workshop Updates[/h2]
Starting in 0.27.0, when you go to unlock an item that’s available in the Nesting Workshop rotation, you can find them sold as individual items rather than in sets of two or more.

Once you unlock an item from the Nesting Workshop, it's now also possible to get additional copies of it while editing a Shared Space. When you’ve placed all the copies you have of that item, a “+” symbol will appear on its icon if additional copies can be purchased.

We hope this makes it easier to enjoy the items you like at the pace that you want!


[h2]Twitch Account Linking[/h2]
Beginning in this update, when logging into Sky, iOS and Android players will have the option to link their Sky account to a Twitch account. (If you’re on another platform, don’t worry—we’ll bring that option to more platforms in future updates!)

For more information about account linking, see our FAQ page:

[h2]Reminder: Daylight Saving Time Ends[/h2]
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 am Pacific Time on Sunday November 3rd, moving clocks back an hour. Time notation for events in Sky will change from PDT (UTC -7) to PST (UTC -8).

If you are in a region that does not observe this time change, after November 3rd the daily reset will occur an hour later for you.


[h2]Other Updates[/h2]

• A new type of accessories category for face items. This allows avatars to wear glasses and earrings or glasses and head accessories at the same time. We also updated the icons for some cosmetics, as well as those used for the neck accessory and head accessory categories.
  
• 0.27.0 includes a few more changes to the new player experience. One which players with more experience may encounter depending on how many Spirits they’ve met: If you’ve rescued a Spirit but haven’t brought them to the temple in their realm, they will now follow behind you until you bring them to their temple. Other changes include:
  
  • Adjustments to the social space in Daylight Prairie to make it easier for new players to understand where to go.
    
  • In Hidden Forest, the beacon hint shows when a new player calls.
    
  • The end of the cutscenes after completing a Spirit’s memory quest are a bit shorter.
    
  • Move the Winged Light that was near the gate between Daylight Prairie’s Butterfly Fields and Village area; it will now be in the Daylight Prairie social area.
    
  • In Isle of Dawn, the Winged Light at the temple will appear in that location only the first time that a new player collects it. Once they progress to Daylight Prairie, when they need to collect that Winged Light again it will appear near the exit of the first tunnel in Isle of Dawn, at the remains of the boat.
• One of the feedback topics we’ve been hearing from the community was about the tea tables and their chat functions—namely, that it often felt confusing that chat wasn’t possible without drinking a full cup of tea for some tables but not others. From 0.27.0, chat becomes possible at any tea table after only one sip of tea.
  
• The “You are about to be reborn” text has been added back into the game.
  
• Spells activated from the emote favorites menu can now be canceled from the emote favorites menu.
  
• Increased the max number of spells that can be used at the same time to five.
  
• Thai localization has now been added.
  

[h2]Improvements and Bug Fixes in this update include:[/h2]

Highlights

• Camera hints for Spirits’ memory quests should now only trigger if both of these conditions are met: you have not completed that Spirit’s memory quest before, and you also haven’t opted in to participate in doing that memory quest again.
  
• Freshly served Light goodies in the Elevated Clearing won’t sink if you don’t burn them before the Spirit brings out the next batch of goodies.
  
• Fixed an issue where some expressions, spells, and stances would not be saved in the emote favorites menu after the game was restarted.
  
• [PC] Screenshots save properly to the Steam screenshot directory.
  
• [PC] Player can move around while having an instrument equipped.
  

[Edit 2024.10.10] An earlier version of the patch notes indicated that a Winged Light would appear after the exit of the first tunnel in Isle of Dawn. This change is related to updates for new players; an updated description of this change has been added to the “Other Updates” section above.


Gameplay

• Fixed a bug with the Guide system that would prevent handholding between the guiding player and the player that requested assistance
  
• When a player leading someone by handhold views a Shared Space followed by a Shared Memory, the player being led by handhold should no longer see the Shared Space pop in and out in a loop.
  
• Restored the ability to chat at the table near the Aviary Village archway counter once Daily Quests are completed.
  
• Meter that indicates how many props you can add to the Nest should be more accurate when adding or removing props.
  
• Fixed a bug where the shadowy creatures in the Fire Trial would turn into dark spheres if you touched them after meditating at the trial’s shrine, instead of making them disappear.
  
• Skipping cutscenes when reliving a Spirit’s memory in the Valley of Triumph Dreams Village should no longer relocate the player elsewhere in the level.
  
• Fixed a bug for Season of Remembrance quests that caused prompts to follow Spirits to their preferred location to be missing.
  
• Fixed a bug involving the Daily Quest counter in Aviary Village that caused Spirits a player hadn’t met yet to rotate and face them when they were interacted with.
  
• Some Daily Quests on specific dates were not being translated to supported languages. This should now be resolved.

• In cases where copying text is not supported, the option for the copy text function has been disabled.
  
• Relationship menu options that are inactive due to piggyback, handholding, carry, etc. can no longer be selected. This will resolve several issues, among them an issue where players in Cradle Carry could force and be forced to hold hands with other players.
  
• When activating a spell, the spell description should now more accurately indicate whether it affects only you (for example, the pinwheel spell), or both yourself and friends you’re holding hands with.
  
• Fixed a privacy bug related to Nests: When two friends each enter their own Nests at the same time, they can no longer see any chat messages sent by the other player.
  
• A Winged Light should no longer appear in the wrong location for the Map Shrine in Daylight Prairie Village.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the guiding beacon to appear behind you in some areas instead of appearing in front of you to guide you to where you probably actually want to go.
  
• Emote favorites menu will now close when you go AFK.
  
• When using a gamepad, ​​a player carrying someone with piggyback is better able to move forward in a straight line.
  
• Controller should no longer vibrate constantly after cutscenes in the Hidden Forest Temple.
  
• Fixed a bug that showed certain Daily Quests at incorrect locations on the Map Shrine.
  
• Daily Quests can be turned in without sitting at the counter near the archway in Aviary Village.
  

Cosmetics

• When sitting down with the “sneak” stance while wearing the Bearhug Hermit’s cape, your avatar’s face will no longer clip through the cape.
  
• Resolved some shadowy texture issues when the Duets cello is equipped.
  
• Sky kids’ upper arms won’t deflate in certain poses when wearing the Pianist’s Flourishing suit from Season of Duets.
  
• Fixed a bug that could prevent plushies from being visible to other players.
  
• The Princess’s mask from Season of the Nine-Colored Deer fits properly when the avatar is wearing the Sunlight Beach Shorts outfit.
  
• Resolved a subtle but old skinning issue with some of the umbrellas causing flickering discoloration while opened, or that seemed to add random small bits of material to the umbrella itself.
  
• It’s no longer possible to take an in-game photo while previewing a Shared Memory that uses the photo camera prop, since this only results in a broken image.
  
• While under the effects of the Crab Curse Spell, using the dash movement will no longer prevent the camera props from being used after the spell has ended.
  
• The remaining backpacks used when wearing some props have all been updated to use the New & Improved version that has already been used for other props.
  
• When a player holds hands with someone and is being led by them, when they equip an instrument and then start walking, the instrument placement won’t float oddly in front of them.
  
• Plushies no longer jitter, and they don't drop when flying.
  

General Fixes and Improvements:

• Fixed an animation bug where players could look misaligned when they used the cradle carry interaction.
  
• Avatars summoned from the Friend Constellation now appear properly holding out their unlit candle instead of having their arms clipping inward awkwardly.
  
• When the player places the Kettle prop and another player picks up the Big Manta Plush while seated at the Kettle, the plush should no longer be placed horizontally.
  
• Fixed the odd and frankly painful-looking contortions that could happen to Sky kids’ legs when doing flips in flight.
  
• When another player near you unlocks a new stance, their stance should more reliably be visible to you.
  
• When a friend reaches the very end of Eye of Eden with you, their hand will no longer be stuck being held above their head.
  
• Side hug animation should look better when swimming.
  
• Fixes for the orange wifi symbol sometimes showing even during a stable internet connection.
  
• Players should no longer be able to bypass cooldowns on props (like the fireworks staff) by spamming inputs in the favorite emotes menu.
  
• Plushies are for hugging, and we would be heartbroken if they were ever accidentally set on fire. So, to improve fire safety, Sky kids will no longer be able to hold a plushie at the same time they hold out a candle to offer friendship to another player.
  
• Fixed a bug where the confirmation menu is cut off when purchasing the Journey Pack on devices with a smaller screen.
  
• Memory Shrine text should no longer overlap with the AURORA concert countdown timer.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused UI objects to disappear when a player transitioned between levels while the Sky Codes option was open in the settings menu.
  
• Invited another round of Spirits to the optimization club to reduce clipping issues and avoid awkward cape placement caused by the shoulder piece, among other things. This includes several Spirits from Hidden Forest and Golden Wasteland, plus a handful of Spirits from across the other realms.
  
• Fixed bug affecting instrument spells where the instrument menu remained open after the spell expired.
  
• Fixed a visual glitch in the Aviary Village outfits area where the level would disappear based on where you were standing.
  
• Camera no longer randomly zooms in and out when swimming in Prairie Peaks.
  
• Updated the mask from the Waving Bellmaker, namely to fix the metallic forehead.
  
• [iOS] iPads that use external peripherals like track pads should have more reliable flight control.
  
• [PC] Currency symbol properly appears next to prices in the in-game shop menu.
  
• [PC] Placing props in the level should now be possible with left mouse button (it was previously bound to the spacebar).
  
• The rock went wandering one night, enjoying the gentle light from the moon and stars. While sitting under a tree, they noticed Sky kids leaving riddles for each other. Wanting to join in on the fun, the rock made their own:
  
  "What's the BEST, most AMAZING, CUTEST creature in the whole wide world? You'd better say jellyfish!"
  
  ...Rocks aren't very good at riddle games.
