n eagerly anticipated Season of Dreams Spirit will come to visit Sky this weekend. ✨
Players who have completed Valley of Triumph ✔️, and at least started the 4th quest from the Hopeful Steward in Aviary Village, can relive this Spirit’s memories at Village of Dreams and collect their beloved expression.
We all like to imagine that Sky is a world brimming with Light and joy and peace and kindness exclusively.
But in truth it isn’t. It’s full of darkness and pain too.
After facing this truth, we then make guesswork of “what went wrong” or “how could this have turned out differently.”
But in truth it couldn’t have. Darkness was inevitable.
But darkness is not a bad thing. Eden is not a bad place.
Yes, it is the ground zero of some cataclysm that brought a kingdom to its grave, and yes, it is the deathbed of many a Sky child that makes the pilgrimage. It reeks of death and destruction at its very core.
Then why do we continue to go? Why does the Light lead us to darkness? Why does life march us to death?
Because you can’t have one side of the coin without the other.
Darkness provides context to Light. Without shadows we cannot see: we would be blind if exposed to only one or the other.
Death provides context to Life. Without death life would bear no significance: It’s the permanence of one that highlights the impermanence - the importance - of the other.
Death is inevitable. Eden is inevitable. But Eden’s intense Darkness provides context to our intense Light: They push and pull in equal measure. Sorrow paves the way for joy. Hardship sows the seeds for triumph. The more powerful the Storm, the deeper the Hope.
No matter how low your lows or high your highs, it always balances, it HAS to. Otherwise your journey is hardly a good story.
The Storm is the joyous reminder that our sacrifice within is powerful and purposeful. Death is the joyous reminder that we’re alive and we can do whatever we choose with that.
it’s available for a few days and I want it very much… I will draw a full body skykid for anyone who gets it for me! My iPad isn’t with me right now which means you get plenty of pencil and paper drawings of your skykid(s) while you wait! I’ll have it back Sunday so that means you’ll be getting a lot of lil drawings :))
DM me if interested!
examples: (I will also draw non-Sky art, provided it isn’t NSFW, overly gory, or hateful)
In the dim of twilight, beings of light shine with the stars, singing the song of the Light in perfect harmony.
FINALLY done with another pre-Wasteland concept (prev)
I take the time of day themes of the realms very literally, and since Wasteland represents dusk, I like to think it would have had fireflies. Also mangroves. Because we need more trees.
1 - We've addressed the issues some players encountered while making purchases through the Google Play Store, which affected the ability to obtain the Bloom Lilypad Umbrella. We've implemented a fix in our latest 0.25.1 hotfix and the problem should no longer affect Android players.
As a gesture of our gratitude for your patience, we are making the Bloom Lilypad Umbrella available again on Android for a limited time. You can purchase it from 00:00 on April 24th until 23:59 on April 26th PDT (UTC -7).
2 - We'll run a Double Seasonal Light event!
From 00:00 on April 24th to 23:59 on April 28th PDT (UTC -7), you will have the opportunity to forge an extra Seasonal Candle each day.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate these issues together 🕯
