Making a story that has nothing to do with sky but I ADORE that one entry in the golden wasteland that I always put my characters around this place. Man look at these little guys guarding the way, love them

I created a whole ahh language for this Sky children of the light comic

And even if that language is written with english letters, I still wanted them to look fancy so after that language I also changed our letters, I have NO idea what i'm doing

YESSSS oh my god I can't believe it, you are so quick I'm so happy

Please Trumblr and Sky COTL fans, I need your help

It's been so so long since I've been looking for an animation, I think it wasn't complete, it was like a sketchy animation, not a professional one, I have it in my memories since a while now but I can't find it

It was an animation about "the king" (resh?) in sky children of the light, with the music "Ancient dream in a modern land", which is, by the way, a PERFECT song for the king.

I know I really liked it when I first saw this animation, and I think I saw it on instagram, but then I lost it and I think about it so so often. I don't have much memories about it, but I know I love it. I don't remember who posted it unfortunately, and I can't find it, please help me find it backkkk 😢😢

I'll draw one of your OC for free if you manage to find a way for me to see this thing back...

I genuinely feel like i HAVE to play sometime. This is why I'm not playing anymore, I'm genuinely tired. It's weird because I kind of love this game, but logging in, everyday, to make quests, that are basically for me just "Look on youtube where the hell are the spirits they ask you to do then do them", I feel like I HAVE to play and not that I want to play. Everyday I play world of warcraft because I am addicted to it, I want to play, and I have rewards while playing. In sky, it's like I force myself to play everyday to, maybe, have some kind of reward at some points. It's not really fun, I just play for months so that "I can have fun later", and the fun is : putting a cape on your character, which is purely a cosmetic and doesn't change anything in the way your skykid flies... Honestly, I think one of the biggest change they could do is the quest system, like just... saying WHERE you have to go to complete the quest! Because most players now are just looking for "where the hell am I supposed to go" for 30 minutes then doing the quest for 2 minutes, or just looking a video of someone showing where the quest is. Is that fun? Playing hide and seek EVERYDAY for 5 candles? I played sky almost everyday for 3 years and, no, i DON'T know every location of every spirit...

I think it lacks of direct rewards, which make a game fun and addictive : rewards rewards rewards! What are the rewards in this game, think about it. Collecting hundreds of winged light to fly higher, that's a reward. Is it worth it? Spending 20 minutes everyday to have ~ 10 candles per days, and buying a hat for 170 candles, is it worth it? Doing Eden to win ~12 special candles, to lock a very small amount of wings for the next time you die, is it worth it? Doing 4 repetitive yet hard to find quests everyday, to, after 2 weeks, being able to buy some kind of haircut. Is it worth it? The rewards are just too low!

It's sad because when I started playing, I remember I really used to praise this game for so much free content. The game was beautiful, yet free, the season passes were way cheaper in europe, I almost never had to buy any cosmetics with real money. Now, I can only feel frustration if I'm not paying things. 10 euros there, 15 there, 5 there, 20 there,.... hey! I don't want to spend 10 euros for a halloween haircut! I could... actually go to the hairdresser and get this haircut done irl for that price! So I just watch the other players having it and I feel frustrated. Why is it so expensive, for real?! I'm pretty sure they could have 3x more people buying if the prices were 2 times cheaper. Be logical, why would someone buy a cosmetic for 15 euros if a damn season pass of 3 month with way more cosmetics and content is a little cheaper. The economy doesn't make sense!

At the end, i'd say... If a video game is fun, I wouldn't always feel "too tired" to play it

decided to refine a previous post on why exactly I believe sky children of light is a failed MMO. 

In this, let’s think of time as money; in a way, you’re making an investment choice when you choose to play the game, let alone when you choose to actively buy things from it. You could be playing xyz other games, or doing other things.

And in that case… what is there even to invest in? 

The gameplay loop is very grindy, and it’s not exactly fun in any way. Most MMOs have games (think a kiddy website) or a raiding aspect (think WoW) that they focus on to varying degrees, even if it’s just a way of earning in game currency/items. 

Sky doesn’t really… have that. Calling the quests a game is stretching it; it’s just “go to locations A, B, C, and D” most of the time, which isn’t exactly fun. Each season, the season-based quests are interesting, but again not very engaging as far as gameplay/challenge goes outside of Prophecy, and add roughly 30 minutes of content every 2ish months. 

The game is well crafted for a person to spend a month-ish on it, exploring and doing all the main quests, doing Eden once or twice, and then being done with it. What is there to stay for? The primary answer is your friends, but the ways of socializing in this game are extremely limited, primarily due to the aforementioned lack of engaging content (minigames/raids/etc). 

I personally realized at some point when I was considering letting a bot grind candles for me and not play otherwise that maybe playing this game just wasn’t fun. The cosmetics are just cosmetics, and often ridiculous prices, and the seasonal stuff comes back anyways for the most part, which really lowers incentive to buy it. I bought stuff for exclusive items and to give some money to TGC, but those items stopped being exclusive (you’re basically paying $10 for just the end items and to get them early if you’re a long term player) and the money doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, what with the small and clunky design of the new seasonal areas (30-60 mins of content + some clunky design choices that leads to areas never being visited again except for lights, such as lack of wax in Abyss and why isn’t the stage a passive wax area???). 

I think when you’re a new player, Sky is really fun. It’s a very beautiful and impressive game, and giving it a playthrough like Journey is just perfect. But as an MMO, as something you hypothetically could dump a lot of time into over months, years? I think it’s a failure; there’s not enough there. I only stayed because I wanted it to eventually be good, because it became habit… but a majority of people will trickle off just as I have. 

tl;dr/conclusion: Sky doesn’t really have anything that makes it worth staying, let alone buying, and I believe this lack of engaging content will lead to it dying a slow death.
