1/2
My alt was purple from the geyser and I was dark blue yet the colours don’t show up for other people. I was hoping you could at least see the hair dye or something.
The biggest disappointment with days of colour
ScreenshotWeird, the whole mechanics are working far better for me right now. In fact, except for the first two days, I just go in and while I'm collecting the four other tokens for whatever reason it decides that I'm done and it gives me the cutscene and lets me go up
Are we supposed to be able to go to the higher up clouds with the rainbow racetrack?
Yes. Stand near the spirit that your cape color matches until the arch is finished and the gem lights up. When all of the gems are lit, a wind gale to ride to the racetrack will appear. If it doesn’t work then you should go back home then return.
Thank you so much ! This is extremely helpful 🤗🤗
I hate the fact that it changes your cape design to the default one instead of keeping it and just change the color.
Send a report to them :) I’m sure they will fix it :)
A lot of people sent reports since day 1
Awesome 👏🏻 :D
I don't know, it's at least better than last year's days of color 🤷🏼
i'd say it's worse, actually
it kept the same awful fest tech based puzzle mechanic (i've seen stances of the puzzle completing but not activating the way upside, also update broke the 8p spirit cutscene, so if the candles are lit and you approach, you get treated to annoying flashing) and the offered items aren't particularly great: mask is niche with how many face accessories cover it and the hair isn't particularly unique either
the only thing that's pretty good is the hair dyes and even then, that's a temporary spell
i've seen stances of the puzzle completing but not activating the way upside,
That happened to me a lot too. I later figured out that I just stood around in the middle of the 8 player puzzle platform which is supposed to blow you up towards the clouds, then the puzzle won't work properly for me.
happens to me regardless of where i stand, tbh
every single time without fail, i have to go home then back a few times to get it to work
if anything, it makes me hate the festival tech mechanic even more. it's too overwhelming and broken
I noticed that the first day and sometimes there's a bug where you can see your alt in the color they had but it's for a short moment. It's still sucks tho
AWW man I didn't know that😭😭😭 I'd always start the day jumping into the geyser to get my green hair so that I can be all cute and dressed up before I join group crs, but nobody's seeing my hair after all wkdjjwd
Luckily the shop spells work
Oh that's really disappointing 😕
If you buy the spells they're visible to other players, but not the spells from the geyser.

This company lives in a fuck1ng bubble...
Join them and change the experience for the positive, if you’re complaining.
i applied, but they're the kind of company to never reach out to you - no "thanks but we're looking at other candidates" or "no longer filling this position" - NOTHING
Mhm weird… :/ i heard its common for companies to do so.
In all seriousness, does TGC even test their game before shipping it to production? Why did something as Major as this pass the beta test?
The beta program is just for candle exploits, I'm convinced by now. They ship on schedule, even if there's game breaking bugs, they've shown this time and time again. I feel like there is something fundamentally going wrong in TGC's management
Be a game programmer and join them so you can change the game experience then.
Even if I was able to do that, it wouldn't fix anything, I doubt it's the programmers that are the issue here. Like I said, I'm certain the problem lies with TGC management. One of the surveys I got a few months ago even had "bad management" as an option under a question about issues. I'd like to imagine some PR intern snuck that in, lol.
Ah ok.. we don’t know what’s going on behind their doors unless you’re an employee there. 🤔 I’m going to be a game programmer anyway. It’s less girls in the gaming industry.
Gross…
It’s the only way… can you help them become better? Do it! :)
I’m afraid I cannot, my friend. I happen to have a uterus so I don’t think I’d be a good fit according to your standards
Of course you never quite know what exactly is going on, but those stories are all over the internet. Devs getting crunched leaving content buggy or straight up unreleased, management making money-focused decisions that make the game experience worse. Have fun with that, unless you're planning to brave the tides of indie games, and hope for a passion project to blow up.
Ya true. I see… maybe they have less money then. Thanks 🙏🏻
It's all about money! User expefience? Fuck that and fuck everyone!
Lol XD if it was just like that, the game would have been fake and scam, you have to buy the game to play it and the game itself wouldn’t be fun, just be on the island and nothing else will happen or it will be many bugs. The game wouldn’t have lasted for very long, just a few months and then bang, they have removed it and called it for fiasco. Just like the kalle and the chocolate factory park at UK. I disagree with you, I bet they are going all in for the user experience and gaming experience, that’s why the game has been up for all these years. :)
They're kinda doing the bare minimum. People see the charm and hope for improvement, but it's no mystery that devs are underpaid and executives have no fucking clue what the players want :,) Or well, maybe they do, but money.
Aya ok, I’m optimistic here. U seem to be pessimistic. XD my boyfriend is pessimistic too.
I'm realistic, but overthinking and saying stuff dips into pessimism :< I used to be hopeful, I'm still naive, but some things just aren't worth lying about anymore 😅
I see :D mm sometimes im that too.
I love seeing these comments when TGC has the wildest monetary model Ive ever seen. They keep 20% of their profits, 30% goes to Steam, and 50% to charities. People complaining don’t seem to understand they’ve given more than they made since I’ve been a player
How do you know that? :O
My post isn’t in reference to any excel sheet. I don’t know any actual numbers, and there are iaps they don’t donate earnings from. Steam always wants 30%, there’s no avoiding that. If they’re donating 50%, that leaves them with 20%. That’s $4 on a $20 purchase (75 candles)
Mhm speculation :D
They state this structure explicitly on their website. It’s basic information easily verified. I’m not speculating, I’m accounting for error based on the information I have. Have a good day 👍
U dont know any numbers u wrote - thats speculation XD
Exactly! Everything revolves around absurd amounts of candles, requiring daily bs in a relaxing game, and they don't even keep enough profit to guarantee good updates. Sky feels like a tool rather than something balanced. Min max-baiting fomo game that's also one of the calmest, relaxing games ever? Bright idea, surely. There is no healthy demographic for something like this.
Please understand Jenovah Chen in particular genuinely defined core principles of modern game design obtaining his doctorate, namely his work on defining flow state. TGC totally has the luxury of operating like this. To assume a revolutionary company like TGC can’t support itself is a bit silly. If they needed to change their model they would. Due to steam, they would actually make more direct profit cutting prices by 50% and avoiding charity donations. (They would make 70% off $10, instead off 20% of $20) This is their choice and it’s making the world better. It’s not so bad.
Like it’s not like you’d have to see EVERYONES colours with the concert mode on but like why can’t I see my friends (or alts) colours? They’re the only ones I can see that’s not a skid ghost
OMG I DIDN’T KNOW THAT ??? These days I was so surprised that no one was using these spells, while I’m always starting the day by changing my hair color 🫡 But that’s why…
The spells show up for others but the explosion from the geyser doesn't
This is only from the geyser spells. This is probably to prevent any bugs or exploits that could be used on the cape to break your game. However, hair tint spells that are purchasable are viewable to all. They’re two separate types of spells. (This is also the reason for why the crash happened the first day when purchasing a hair tint spell)
Edit: they fixed the rainbow road tint spell, so your entire body starts glowing rainbow colors during the race and in the upper clouds. That is visible to everyone while you’re in the area. Previous things still apply, there are two different types of spells, purchasable and free geyser. Free is client side and cannot be seen, purchased spells are server side and can be seen.
I was looking forward to this event all year only for it to barely work in any way.
I’m either waiting for 20+ minutes for the broken puzzle or restarting the game/teleporting home and back to get it to even maybe work. Everyday of the event so far is somehow worse, and these steps are taking longer.
Only for me to get to the top and see no one’s colors, no candle cake and an unselectable rainbow ticket, then go over to the race where it locks me out of it, then fly down to the rainbow ring and it doesn’t register my existence and I fall through…
Can’t even bring my friends with me because everyone’s on a different lag cycle meaning if you wanna hold hands, you’re just gonna be rubberbanding all over until the servers rip you apart anyways. Let alone not being able to see anyone’s glow color, hair spell, cape, or trail.
This isn’t just an event issue too, it’s everywhere lately in extreme ways I’ve not ever experienced. Not even this past Halloween event failed this tremendously in terms of any sort of relative stability. All of the realms have me barely even recognizing a friends’ cosmetics, let alone location in the same map.
I’m still here because I still have hope it can be fixed but really, the game is becoming unplayable. It is anti-multiplayer to have such dysfunctional bugs piled on with every patch or hotfix.
Their servers are lagging horribly probably because of the recently turned on powerful Ai they running to detect third party users and send warnings and bans..
Since when have they started with AI? :O
Is there any way this is an internet issue for you?
Cause I've been playing with a partner and friend IRL and we've had no issues, but they both have spotty Internet compared to me and have talked about some issues with the area when they play at their houses. Not as severe of issues as you, but enough that it takes longer to run through the area.
I shut off my internet access for about a minute or so and then on again, most of thentime that works to get the puzzle to work.Much quicker than going home and back again or restart the game.
This choice wouldn’t bother me if the concert tech wasn’t active since it would save lagging issues and while idk how the game works in the technical sense, this just feels more like a cheap option.
I was playing with my sister earlier and she was like "look at my cape it's pink" and I was like ...no? I didn't realize we couldn't see each other's changes from the geyser until now 🥹
It only applies to the free spells from the geyser the spells you purchase with EC for the hair dye will show for everyone.
Similar to the balloon hats for the anniversary the free ones only you can see but the spells you buy others can see too
But sadly the anniversary spells aren't shareable unless they played at that time. So no holding hands for those 😅
This is one of the biggest reasons why I hate Sky. Nothing is in sync. For example, doing the shard events. The crabs aren't in the same spot as other players etc. It drives me nuts.
Maybe they fixed that crab bug or maybe I’ve just been lucky lately, but during the last several shards I’ve done the other players definitely seemed to be interacting with the crabs where I could see them. Haven’t see. Someone suddenly get knocked over by nothing for a while.
Interesting, I’ll have to test it out. I have my main and alt.
My only thought it because of the event space and with the way it’s set up? Perhaps it’s to reduce lag and machine power to run the game?
It’s hosted on cloud servers owned by Amazon, so do that what you wish?
The whole event is disappointment
