The Final Lessons of Season of Passage Lie Ahead

Introducing Event Currency

• The currency for a specific event is available only while that event is being held.
• Currencies won’t carry over from one event to another, but enough are available during an event to unlock this year’s new IGC cosmetics.
• You won’t need to get all the event currency available every single day to unlock new event items.
• Currencies are placed in set locations each day, and their location in an event will rotate.

• At the end of an event, unused event currencies do not convert to Candles or anything else.
• From one event to another, there may be a different total number of event currency available each day.

More Updates

• A lot of features that have been added to Sky are directly based on player feedback—expanding the Friendship Constellation, in-game translation, even being able to interact with Spirits with hugs and high fives (as just a few examples). The latest addition based on player requests: Huggable plushie props. Go forth and show love to your stuffed crab anywhere you go!

Developer Note: Many players love taking their plushie friends around Sky, so we added new ways to play with them! Plushies can now be picked up, hugged, and more. This is our first crack at the plushies and we plan on tinkering with them some more as we see players interact with them. Keep an eye out for more plushie updates in the future!

• A monument has been added to the Starlight Desert area of Vault of Knowledge in honor of a late beloved coworker, and others to whom we’ve had to say goodbye. “In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so, it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night.”

Improvements and Bug Fixes in this update include:

Highlights:

• Various improvements to reduce players being separate from their friends when meditating to go to the seasonal area of Isle of Dawn or to join the Seasonal Quests.
• Changes to make it easier for friends to teleport to a player in Festival Tech mode.
• In Festival Tech mode, a player's own avatar will not be obscured from view by avatars from the crowd.
• When standing near a player using the Do Not Disturb spell, the spell's icon appears above their head.
• Updated music sheet rotations in Harmony Hall.

Want to know more about some other fixes in this patch? Find further details below!

• The Overactive Overachiever's hair no longer has a gap when worn with the chibi mask.
• Adjusted the alignment of the Tumbling Troublemaker's earrings.
• Fixed Isle of Dawn Temple music playing instead of seasonal music in that level's seasonal area.
• Update for timer text visibility in second Seasonal Quest.
• Adjustments to ultimate mask to reduce clipping with various hairstyles.

• [PlayStation] Savior achievement reliably granted.
• [iOS, Android, Huawei] Added the option for players on mobile devices to link their Sky account to a Steam account.
• Honking is very important, but not so important that it should interrupt Sky kids’ movement. So now, Sky kids no longer stop rolling, skipping, and doing any other traversal emote to stand up straight when they honk.
• Friends and others should correctly see the stance a player is using, and that stance should no longer reset to default when going between areas or restarting the game.
• Trial of Water opening cutscene is skippable.
• Friendship should raise you up, not pull you down, so we fixed the bug causing a player to sink underground if they accepted a friendship request or unlocked a friendship interaction while being carried by piggyback.
• Similarly, a player leading a friend by handhold won’t sink below the terrain when the person they're holding hands with dives deep underwater.
• When two Spirits are standing close to each other and a player opens one of their Friendship Trees and then selects the other Spirit, the display correctly switches to the Friendship Tree of the selected Spirit.
• Player will not leave edit mode if they tap outside of the keyboard when naming a Shared Space.
• When recording Shared Memories, chatting will pause the recording while the avatar is standing still. Chat is disabled during a recording when swimming, flying, or otherwise moving.
• Music sheets stop playing when you equip a new prop.
• Spirits in Harmony Hall now use their instruments properly during a jam session.
• Removed the mysterious invisible lead boots bug that made players walk underwater in one of the waterfall ponds in Sanctuary.
• Friendship menu now closes automatically when two friends swim away from each other.
• Duration of Kizuna AI STAR Pin effect updated from three seconds to 1 minute.
• Fixed a bug causing avatars that were sitting or lying down to stand up when using an emote.
• When a group of players is handholding or using piggyback, the players following in the chain will automatically attempt to join the Shared Space the group's leader is in.
• Even though red notification dots that never ever ever ever go away are surely the most beloved thing that could appear in a menu, we have ultimately decided that the red dot for new inbox messages should not wear out its welcome. Thus, that red dot now disappears after reading the message.

• Fix to reduce flickering lighting on capes in bright environments.
• Reduced the sound effects radius of instruments being played by other players.
• Fixed a bug causing pillars and other objects in front of the first gate in Forest to be unusually dark or oddly lit.
• Fixed clipping issues with Nature sunglasses and Sanctuary sunglasses masks.
• Instrument no longer misplaced during the Hairtousle Teen's Spirit memory sequence, better suited to entertain us.
• When two friends follow each other in the AURORA concert, doing so no longer leads to visual corruptions in cutscenes or transitions.
• Fixed some missing and discolored polygons here and there, like behind the stage in the Village of Dreams Theater area and the Daylight Prairie Village area.
• Fixed some gaps and pits that could trap players in Eden, plus some other clipping issues with the terrain.
• Small fixes for visual effects affecting capes, with small changes such as gold diamonds on the Thoughtful Director's cape appearing metallic, and improvements to the visual recharge effect on the Season of Shattering Ultimate Light Cape.
