| 854s | row I'm excited it looks like a lot of |
| 857s | fun it looks very cute um you know I'm |
| 860s | always I'm always impressed because sky |
| 862s | is such a is such a distinct place right |
| 865s | um you know it's it's very different |
| 867s | from other games so I think like when we |
| 868s | do collaboration |
| 870s | like the the characters we bring in have |
| 872s | to like mat the sky um and I I honestly |
| 876s | really really impressed with how well |
| 878s | Cinema rooll fits in in aary village and |
| 880s | I'm very excited to to see how it goes |
| 882s | with the players that's awesome and the |
| 885s | players are losing it for the moment |
| 887s | that we announced that collaboration |
| 888s | people were going insane about it uh |
| 892s | Robert do you have any uh favorite |
| 895s | collab that we have had so |
| 898s | far uh you know what I'm gonna say |
| 900s | Aurora I'm a little biased because I got |
| 902s | to work with her for the um Gamescom |
| 906s | world record Stream So I actually got to |
| 907s | like hop on calls with her and talk to |
| 909s | her a little bit and like she owes me an |
| 912s | iced coffee let that be stated as a fact |
| 914s | um that's just a record and if she would |
| 916s | surely support that if she were here |
| 918s | today um no but they've all they've all |
| 920s | been really good but I do think like the |
| 922s | concert especially the you know the |
| 924s | first run we did of it um it was very |
| 926s | emotional you know being there and |
| 928s | sharing that moment with thousands of |
| 930s | other players and having the music |
| 931s | playing like it felt like a true |
| 932s | realization of like what what we're |
| 934s | always kind of going for right with with |
| 936s | this like video games as a as art idea |
| 938s | so um but they're all really good I just |
| 940s | think that happens to be my favorite I |
| 942s | agree that that was a special thing for |
| 944s | me and uh Robert take a look at the chat |
| 947s | people are I think they are sending |
| 948s | shoutouts to you in chat uh with |
| 950s | something I know they they really they |
| 952s | really want me to have eggs for |
| 953s | breakfast got it chat I'm reading you |
| 954s | loud and clear tomorrow morning thanks |
| 956s | for breakfast thank you I that's it |
| 959s | that's it |
| 959s | there's no other way there's no other |
| 961s | way that could be interpreted not at all |
| 963s | not at all and honestly I I thought that |
| 965s | I would be trolling you but then people |
| 966s | are just saying we have two B guys on |
| 968s | stream today and I'm like Oh Come Home |
| 971s | Sam Sam come |
| 973s | home I fell on my own trolling chat has |
| 976s | decided it's time for you to shave that |
| 977s | off give it up I hey man I maybe maybe |
| 982s | one day maybe one day I maybe you know I |
| 986s | I I I I need to let the head of |
| 988s | community at you see have the shine |
| 990s | quite quite literally that's good that |
| 992s | was good the the okay all right well I |
| 994s | mean what sorry you said we were talking |
| 996s | about like Sky assemblies or Sky let's |
| 997s | talk about Sky assemblies indeed Sky |
| 1000s | assemblies and to get us started in Chad |
| 1002s | please feel free to send your questions |
| 1004s | uh in chat and we may address a few but |
| 1006s | just to start us off Rob uh yeah what |
| 1010s | were Sky assemblies designed to achieve |
| 1013s | uh and we have had a few so far and do |
| 1015s | you think we were successful at |
| 1016s | achieving the intended goal |
| 1019s | okay well yeah I guess taking a step |
| 1021s | back um so I have always been just like |
| 1024s | a huge fan of things um so when I was a |
| 1026s | kid I was a fan of like Pokemon I was a |
| 1028s | huge fan of like um the old like tunami |
| 1031s | block right of like Dragon Ball Z um you |
| 1035s | know Gundam Wing I would just get like |
| 1037s | really into these things right and so |
| 1039s | like obviously because I was so into |
| 1041s | them and I had like so much passion as a |
| 1042s | fan I always found myself wanting to |
| 1044s | like share that with other people right |
| 1046s | so Pokemon was a great example of like |
| 1048s | i' go to school you know I'd like ride |
| 1050s | my bikee cuz that's what we did back in |
| 1051s | the day I don't know how kids get to |
| 1053s | school anymore U but I'd like go there |
| 1055s | and i' be like oh my gosh did you see |
| 1056s | what Butterfree did right and like all |
| 1059s | the other kids are like oh my gosh what |
| 1060s | did did you see that and so you have |
| 1062s | like this cool moment where it's like |
| 1063s | Everyone likes the same thing and |
| 1065s | everyone's like really like if you take |
| 1067s | a step back it's yeah you're all sharing |
| 1069s | a common interest but there's also this |
| 1070s | like real sense of kind of like |
| 1072s | togetherness and feeling like you're |
| 1074s | part of a tribe um and so since I was |
| 1076s | like really young right like I've always |
| 1077s | kind of had like that I don't know I |
| 1080s | guess like I'm a super fan is what |
| 1081s | probably what we call it like in the |
| 1083s | clinical term it's like I like things a |
| 1085s | lot um and as I've gotten older I guess |
| 1088s | you know as you get older um you have to |
| 1090s | focus more on like bills on your job on |
| 1093s | all these different things and it kind |
| 1094s | of becomes like harder because you're |
| 1095s | not in school to to meet up with other |
| 1097s | people who have similar interests and so |
| 1100s | yeah I was like really inspired by um |
| 1102s | you know programs that I had attended in |
| 1105s | my college Years so like Friday Night |
| 1106s | Magic um you know Hearthstone fire side |
| 1109s | Gatherings and I really was like what's |
| 1111s | like a version of this that makes sense |
| 1112s | for sky that could give um Sky fans an |
| 1115s | opportunity right to come together and |
| 1117s | and kind of share their love of Sky um |
| 1119s | and so yeah obviously uh Sky's a very |
| 1122s | different game from some of the other |
| 1123s | games I listed off so it has to really |
| 1125s | make sense for sky and I think like yeah |
| 1128s | I |
| 1129s | think if I can't open up parenthesis and |
| 1131s | I'm sorry to to to cat you off but you |
| 1133s | and I both uh have come from a a |
| 1135s | background of competitive gameplay right |
| 1138s | and it's easy to do |
| 1140s | uh a Meetup for competitive games right |
| 1142s | you you find a place you run a |
| 1143s | tournament done that's the Meetup right |
| 1146s | so uh sky is not that sky is not that so |
| 1150s | no no how about that like then well okay |
| 1154s | so I will say I do think there's like |
| 1156s | there's like a version of competition |
| 1157s | that's actually like really healthy and |
| 1159s | like helps build relationships but yeah |
| 1161s | for sure like in the competitive space |
| 1162s | like it's more kind of like you know you |
| 1164s | go for the dunk and that's what good |
| 1166s | looks like and yeah you kind of like |
| 1168s | walk away like one person feels like |
| 1169s | they won the other person feels like |
| 1170s | they lost um yeah I would say like |
| 1173s | getting back to your your what you asked |
| 1175s | about like whether or not like we've |
| 1176s | been successful with Sky assemblies |
| 1178s | right um what I'll say is uh I've been |
| 1180s | able to attend two no three in |
| 1184s | California and one in Japan and every |
| 1186s | single time I've seen people who come |
| 1189s | together who've never met before in real |
| 1190s | life right they've they've met in sky |
| 1193s | and then they meet for the first time |
| 1195s | and are like on the verge of tears and |
| 1196s | like hugging because they're so excited |
| 1199s | to kind of like take this relationship |
| 1201s | that has mostly been digital um and |
| 1203s | bring it into real life right you you |
| 1206s | know I have friends in sky and like |
| 1207s | every time I see them like it feels |
| 1209s | really cool and and we have fun but |
| 1210s | those like rare times where we're able |
| 1212s | to meet in person it's just it's |
| 1214s | something else completely differently |
| 1215s | and I not good at talking about my |
| 1217s | feelings but I would say like you know |
| 1218s | it makes me like a little emotional |
| 1220s | right to see people kind of like having |
| 1222s | those moments with each other so I yeah |
| 1224s | I would say like based on that I |
| 1225s | consider Sky assembly so far a success |
| 1227s | and with the caveat that we're always |
| 1229s | learning and we're always doing things |
| 1230s | differently so and that's something |
| 1233s | interesting about skyu which is a game |
| 1234s | that people get together to hang out and |
| 1236s | spend time together and that's a lot |
| 1238s | easier in the digital world right but I |
| 1241s | think it's really beautiful to see the |
| 1243s | same groups of people meeting face Toof |
| 1245s | face IRL and and having that kind of |
| 1248s | Engagement sometimes you know for the |
| 1251s | first time in a long time uh yeah yeah |
| 1254s | the second Sky assembly we did in Long |
| 1256s | Beach right uh there was someone who |
| 1258s | lived in the US and their friend came |
| 1260s | all the way from Europe actually flew |
| 1262s | out to meet them and to to go to that |
| 1264s | Sky assembly and I yeah I think we |
| 1266s | actually like we recorded a video of |
| 1269s | them talking and I think we actually |
| 1270s | shared it um in our internal channels |
| 1272s | but it's like it's such a rewarding |
| 1274s | proof of concept right like everything |
| 1275s | we do about like building connections |
| 1277s | and bringing people together like that's |
| 1279s | it you just see people come together |
| 1281s | they're hugging they're talking about |
| 1283s | how much fun they've had together um I |
| 1284s | think these two had played a lot over |
| 1286s | the pandemic yeah I don't know I'm going |
| 1288s | to get gushy but like |
| 1289s | I don't it's hard not to look at that |
| 1291s | and feel like that's like such a a |
| 1294s | powerful um recognition of like what we |
| 1296s | try to do and what we try to build at |
| 1298s | TGC |
| 1299s | so one thing about assemblies too as you |
| 1302s | mentioned we had like three in |
| 1303s | California and a few others in different |
| 1305s | areas right do you think that it has |
| 1309s | evolved from the very first one that we |
| 1311s | had into what it has become and how how |
| 1315s | much player feedback has played a role |
| 1316s | into polishing sky |
| 1319s | to what they really wanted it to be yeah |
| 1322s | I mean the first one we did right that |
| 1323s | was in Long Beach and that was actually |
| 1325s | the the one that I ran like pretty hands |
| 1327s | on and I think like this player feedback |
| 1329s | has definitely shaped it but I also |
| 1331s | think just different individuals on our |
| 1333s | team running it right you can kind of |
| 1335s | see like the different things they they |
| 1337s | value and like their different |
| 1338s | sensibilities at work so you know Tio |
| 1340s | obviously you ran the the one in Brazil |
| 1343s | uh last year right and like that that |
| 1345s | specifically spoke to like the types of |
| 1347s | events you like to see right and like |
| 1348s | how you like to have things run but we |
| 1349s | also had like stellify run one in Los |
| 1352s | Angeles last year that was way in my |
| 1354s | opinion way better than the one I the |
| 1356s | first one I R in Long Beach um you know |
| 1358s | the Japanese Community team the the |
| 1360s | Korean Community team like we everyone |
| 1363s | just kind of puts their own unique |
| 1364s | Panache on it and then I think where |
| 1366s | player feedback comes in is um we |
| 1368s | oftentimes will pull players after they |
| 1370s | go and just kind of say hey like did you |
| 1372s | have fun like what was your favorite |
| 1374s | part like do you want to go again like |
| 1376s | you know what what would make this feel |
| 1378s | more a sky Universe event and so I think |
| 1381s | yeah there's also internal feedback |
| 1383s | right because a lot of our studio |
| 1384s | members will come out depending on where |
| 1385s | they are so like California we always |
| 1387s | have a great turnout um and just hearing |
| 1389s | how they feel it's it's like a truly |
| 1390s | like living breathing thing and I don't |
| 1392s | think it's ever I don't think we're g |
| 1393s | ever reach a point where we're like oh |
| 1395s | well Sky assemblies is perfect this is |
| 1396s | it we would never make changes like it's |
| 1398s | always gonna continue to grow um yeah |
| 1401s | and change and somebody here in chat uh |
| 1404s | let me see Leela spori from YouTube is |
| 1407s | asking how about playing Sky assemblies |
| 1410s | in different countries how difficult it |
| 1411s | is any chances of having one in |
| 1413s | France yeah so actually that's an |
| 1416s | interesting point um so when we first |
| 1418s | started Sky assemblies the the like |
| 1420s | initial version of it was really meant |
| 1422s | to be kind of like more um you know like |
| 1424s | we would run a few to teach kind of like |
| 1426s | what we thought a sky assembly looked |
| 1427s | like and then we'd kind of uh hook up |
| 1429s | like different community volunteers |
| 1431s | who'd gone through kind of like our |
| 1432s | interview and vetting process to run |
| 1434s | their own in different countries and so |
| 1436s | we actually had in the first year so |
| 1438s | that was 2022 |
| 1439s | we had a number hosted by um some really |
| 1442s | awesome uh fan volunteers and so we had |
| 1444s | some in like we had uh New York I think |
| 1446s | we had one in Chicago um yeah we had a |
| 1449s | we had a bunch of them um and I think |
| 1451s | like what we took from that is that you |
| 1453s | know we need to do a better job of kind |
| 1454s | of like setting up the infrastructure to |
| 1456s | support those events before we have any |
| 1458s | more fan events um I don't you know I |
| 1461s | it's difficult for me because I work at |
| 1462s | the studio but I think like if I was |
| 1464s | approaching it from a player I might |
| 1466s | think like well you know TGC clearly has |
| 1468s | like a bunch of people working on this |
| 1470s | and they kind of have like the resources |
| 1471s | to like make sure it's like always |
| 1473s | really built out um and the reality is |
| 1475s | that up to now Sky assemblies has been |
| 1477s | very much kind of like a passion project |
| 1479s | for the community team so like in |
| 1480s | addition to everything else we do Sky |
| 1482s | assemblies is try something we try to do |
| 1484s | when we get time so um I think going |
| 1487s | forward we're trying to make sure we |
| 1488s | have like more people in place to |
| 1491s | support and I mean like really support |
| 1493s | step by step um you know players hosting |
| 1496s | their own events that's something we're |
| 1497s | discussing internally so that's a |
| 1499s | roundabout way of saying like yeah |
| 1500s | there's totally a world where we would |
| 1501s | have an event in France you know I know |
| 1503s | um we've had a lot of folks in the UK |
| 1505s | asking um we've had folks in other parts |
| 1507s | of the world as well so I think we want |
| 1509s | to get back to that it's just we have to |
| 1510s | make sure it's supported as opposed to |
| 1513s | you know like me going to I think you |
| 1514s | said it was Leela I go up to him like |
| 1516s | Hey can you just run a sky |
| 1519s | assembly thanks yeah mer mer mer um I |
| 1523s | don't speak I don't speak any french so |
| 1525s | I can't even I don't know I hope what |
| 1527s | you said is French um I think that's |
| 1529s | that's like kind of what that looks like |
| 1530s | in order to get to a place where we can |
| 1532s | have um in some of these spaces where |
| 1533s | like we don't have uh Studio members on |
| 1536s | site yeah there are a few more questions |
| 1539s | here that I just want to address uh |
| 1541s | sukiman on Twitch is there any |
| 1543s | information about Sky coming to Gamescom |
| 1546s | this year again uh that you can review |
| 1548s | we're going to be addressing that a |
| 1549s | little bit later and colen Carter on |
| 1551s | YouTube did you already do one in the |
| 1553s | USA before yes we have uh quite a few |
| 1555s | actually as Robert mentioned we had five |
| 1558s | yeah yep five in total we three |
| 1560s | ourselves and then two were hosted by |
| 1561s | players yep and Rob just before we move |
| 1564s | on uh just in case some people do not |
| 1566s | know exactly what we're talking about uh |
| 1568s | when we mention assemblies let me play a |
| 1570s | little video for them just so they can |
| 1571s | have an idea so I'll be back with you in |
| 1573s | a second okay |
| 1595s | spe |
| 1633s | so there you go guys that that was a |
| 1635s | series of Sky assemblies that we had |
| 1637s | last year and being the head of the |
| 1640s | community team Rob how how does it feel |
| 1642s | seeing all of these movements and all |
| 1644s | these countries that we went like it's |
| 1646s | kind of incredible especially for a game |
| 1648s | that that came out of nowhere 2021 |
| 1651s | there's so many people when we went to |
| 1653s | Gamescom that said oh I don't know the |
| 1654s | game yet and yet we see this kinds of uh |
| 1658s | Gatherings of fan players right uh how |
| 1661s | how does that feel to you uh I honestly |
| 1664s | I it I as I was watching it I I always |
| 1665s | just feel such a such a sense of Pride |
| 1668s | um you know I mentioned it before but |
| 1669s | like the we're a fairly small team at |
| 1672s | the end of day for all the different um |
| 1674s | you know parts of the world we cover and |
| 1675s | so I think like last year when I came to |
| 1678s | the team and I was like hey you know for |
| 1679s | fourth anniversary let's just try to |
| 1681s | host a bunch of these assemblies in like |
| 1683s | different parts of the world um I'm |
| 1685s | really proud that the team didn't just |
| 1686s | laugh at |
| 1687s | me I'm really proud that the team like |
| 1689s | was like yeah this is something we want |
| 1691s | to do we want to give these experience |
| 1692s | to players I know like Tio you hopped on |
| 1694s | a plane and you were just like all right |
| 1696s | okay we're hosting an event in in Brazil |
| 1698s | um shout out to DMS who had also hosted |
| 1700s | one before right yeah I I feel just such |
| 1704s | a such a sense of Pride of the the team |
| 1707s | I think it's it really takes a special |
| 1708s | group of people who really care to to |
| 1711s | really like you know put the all that |
| 1713s | work on themselves in addition to like |
| 1715s | you know anytime you see a Blog go out |
| 1717s | you know whenever you see like social |
| 1718s | posts patch notes feedback getting |
| 1721s | collected contests like there are so |
| 1723s | many different things that Community is |
| 1725s | in charge of the fact that everyone was |
| 1726s | like willing to step up and like take on |
| 1728s | that extra work I I mean it like all all |
| 1731s | praise to the to the team that's awesome |
| 1734s | and a quick question because there are |
| 1736s | people here who have their dreams of |
| 1737s | working on video games they are not |
| 1739s | Engineers they are not coders so they |
| 1741s | may be thinking of joining with |
| 1742s | Community with events so can we talk a |
| 1745s | little bit about the challenges of |
| 1748s | scaling up an event from a sky |
| 1750s | assemblies local fewer people uh to |
| 1753s | something like Gamescom or something |
| 1756s | like an Japan Tokyo game show yeah you |
| 1760s | know I think um the first thing you |
| 1762s | always have to think about is just |
| 1763s | expectations you know I think one of the |
| 1765s | things that was nice about Sky |
| 1766s | assemblies and and just like the |
| 1767s | audience that that we have playing sky |
| 1770s | is everyone is super kind and everyone |
| 1772s | feels like very like unassuming right so |
| 1774s | when we put together something that's |
| 1776s | like at Community scale I think there's |
| 1778s | like something built in for most players |
| 1780s | that it's going to feel like a little |
| 1781s | more Grassroots so like you kind of |
| 1783s | expect to go to something and it's going |
| 1784s | to be cozy it's not going to be like |
| 1786s | super expensive necessarily but like the |
| 1788s | value is going to be in like meeting |
| 1790s | people having Sky experiences like |
| 1793s | playing games um and that's that's kind |
| 1795s | of like the sky assembl Mantra up to |
| 1797s | this point but when you when you start |
| 1798s | doing things like trade shows or you |
| 1800s | know like a sky Fest like what we're |
| 1802s | working on now you know you you would |
| 1804s | imagine players come in with really like |
| 1806s | much larger expectations right like it's |
| 1808s | got to be like something that kind of |
| 1810s | like meets the moment um and so yeah |
| 1812s | when it comes to scaling up like the the |
| 1814s | biggest thing that scales up is honestly |
| 1815s | the price tag right of like putting on |
| 1817s | like those big activations um if you saw |
| 1820s | pictures of Gamescom uh as the most |
| 1822s | recent example right like huge Booth |
| 1825s | like we kind of rebuilt the version of |
| 1826s | the Coliseum we had like these screens |
| 1829s | um if you watch the uh streams either of |
| 1832s | the streams either the world record one |
| 1834s | or the Aurora one like which you |
| 1836s | probably didn't you saw Tio on stage |
| 1837s | doing a great job but you probably |
| 1839s | didn't see myself and a bunch of like |
| 1840s | audio visual guys in a chamber in the |
| 1843s | back like trying to get the different |
| 1845s | cameras to go to places so that we could |
| 1847s | have like wide crowd shots we could have |
| 1849s | shots of the stage we could have shots |
| 1851s | in game um it just the execution the |
| 1854s | planning the budget required are just |
| 1856s | all so much higher to make those things |
| 1858s | happen but um you know the tradeoff is |
| 1860s | like when you actually see them happen |
| 1862s | it feels like that much cooler um TGC |
| 1865s | has this with this kind of like internal |
| 1867s | attitude of like even if we haven't done |
| 1868s | something before we kind of like nah I'd |
| 1870s | win I don't if anybody else will get |
| 1872s | that mean but um yeah we just kind of |
| 1874s | say like no we can do it we can just |
| 1876s | figure it out and we can just make this |
| 1877s | work um and so when we walked away from |
| 1879s | Gamescom because obviously you were out |
| 1881s | there too Tio um I don't know I felt |
| 1883s | such an immense Pride at what we had |
| 1884s | been able to pull off even though like |
| 1886s | it was definitely much more complicated |
| 1888s | than the sky assembly definitely much |
| 1890s | more comp complicated uh that's for sure |
| 1894s | and the impact is different right from |
| 1896s | from something that we do for our |
| 1898s | communities uh like the sky assemblies |
| 1900s | to the trade shows that we're reaching |
| 1901s | out to people who don't necessarily |
| 1903s | understand the culture of the game who |
| 1905s | don't necessarily have that kind of uh |
| 1909s | pre-established love for the brand uh is |
| 1912s | that super challenging to to to reach |
| 1916s | out to those people who are not too |
| 1917s | familiar with |
| 1919s | brand yeah it's interesting right |
| 1920s | because there are like certain parts of |
| 1922s | the world where I think like sky is |
| 1923s | really like widely known and then I |
| 1925s | think there are other parts where like |
| 1926s | because I think Sky started out as a |
| 1928s | mobile game it's just a little bit less |
| 1930s | wellknown and what we tend to find is um |
| 1932s | and this was kind of the story of |
| 1933s | Gamescom is you know we would talk to |
| 1935s | folks in a place where mostly folks are |
| 1937s | on PC they're on like PlayStation maybe |
| 1940s | um you know the different consoles and |
| 1942s | we'd be like hey you know this is Sky |
| 1943s | Children of the light and they wouldn't |
| 1945s | necessarily like immediately recognize |
| 1947s | it but they would like see the visuals |
| 1949s | and then you know oh it's it's you know |
| 1951s | oh it's the folks who made Journey right |
| 1953s | and so I think like there's always like |
| 1954s | a very like organic way to talk about |
| 1956s | that um and yeah I I think it's like one |
| 1959s | of those things where you know if you |
| 1960s | meet someone and they haven't played sky |
| 1962s | and you can tell them about it like I I |
| 1964s | I played sky before I ever joined that |
| 1966s | game company before I ever thought of |
| 1967s | doing so and it was just honestly like a |
| 1968s | magical experience and so I think like |
| 1970s | you know when my when um someone was |
| 1972s | first telling me about sky right I was |
| 1974s | like oh cool like I'm I'm excited I want |
| 1975s | to try this and I feel like like now I |
| 1977s | can give that to someone |
| 1979s | right where be like hey like you know if |
| 1980s | you're looking for something that's like |
| 1981s | maybe like a little different maybe like |
| 1983s | a little Chiller more Vibes um you know |
| 1985s | I have this great suggestion for you |
| 1987s | this is a booth about it yeah awesome |
| 1990s | now let's move into talking a little bit |
| 1992s | about skyfest right you shared with us |
| 1995s | the concept and and the ideas and the |
| 1997s | goals for Sky assemblies so what is the |
| 2000s | concept for skyfest and what we are |
| 2002s | trying to |
| 2004s | achieve yeah well I think um first and |
| 2007s | foremost we always want to be innovating |
| 2010s | um I you know if you kind of like look |
| 2012s | at what we've done in we're coming up on |
| 2014s | five years of sky right you you can look |
| 2015s | at like the concert and then we tried to |
| 2017s | push into like 10,000 people in a |
| 2019s | concert um you know the world record |
| 2021s | it's not enough for us to kind of like |
| 2024s | you know obviously like we want to be |
| 2025s | making cool things that you know we've |
| 2027s | made before but we also want to be like |
| 2028s | trying to do new things um and so yeah |
| 2031s | actually we just had some conversations |
| 2032s | internally and it was kind of like well |
| 2034s | what if we had something that was like a |
| 2036s | bigger Sky assembly and we also had |
| 2038s | something going on in game and what if |
| 2040s | they were the same right because we've |
| 2042s | never seen that before like we've gone |
| 2043s | to like other like um you know trade |
| 2045s | shows and conventions but you never you |
| 2047s | never could like pull out your phone |
| 2049s | like you can't normally pull out a |
| 2051s | conven or a phone at a convention and |
| 2053s | play the same thing that you're standing |
| 2055s | in and so that was kind of Le like the |
| 2056s | fantasy I had of like you know if you're |
| 2058s | in Japan you pull out your phone you |
| 2060s | open it up and it looks like very |
| 2061s | similar to what's going on in front of |
| 2064s | you um and so like that was something |
| 2066s | that kind of excited me about it and |
| 2068s | most great ideas that that game company |
| 2070s | ends up doing begins because like one or |
| 2072s | two people was just like really excited |
| 2074s | about a crazy idea right um and so I |
| 2077s | think yeah with uh with that approach it |
| 2080s | was basically like well would like a |
| 2081s | normal Sky assemblies kind of meet that |
| 2083s | moment and it was kind of like well no |
| 2085s | we think we need to like do it up a bit |
| 2086s | bigger but we're also not at the stage |
| 2088s | yet where we're going to like have like |
| 2090s | a normal like huge siiz convention right |
| 2092s | like that's not something we can do as a |
| 2094s | as a studio yet at least in my opinion |
| 2095s | and so we had to kind of find like |
| 2097s | what's that middle ground |
| 2098s | that we can do that's going to be fun |
| 2100s | for fans that we can recreate in game |
| 2102s | and so um yeah I think obviously people |
| 2105s | haven't seen it yet we've been working |
| 2107s | really hard on skyfest um you know every |
| 2109s | day that's like something that we you |
| 2110s | know end up working on um but like |
| 2112s | skyfest I think and I hope is going to |
| 2114s | be really cool and players are going to |
| 2116s | enjoy it um and I hope that the folks |
| 2118s | who can't make it out to Japan feel like |
| 2120s | they were taking care of ingame and |
| 2121s | still got like hopefully a pretty |
| 2122s | comparable experience awesome uh lady |
| 2125s | from YouTube was asking what kind of |
| 2126s | world record are we going to try to |
| 2128s | break in this year uh I'm going to say |
| 2131s | possibly the most handsome uh stream |
| 2132s | hosts I think it's a a good challenger |
| 2136s | but yeah we'll see about that most |
| 2139s | bald I don't know baldest streaming |
| 2143s | people yeah that fits most most egg |
| 2146s | emojis spammed in a |
| 2149s | developer yeah I don't we got we got |
| 2150s | some good options here but I you know |
| 2153s | even the world record thing right like |
| 2154s | it's it's so funny because we kind of |
| 2156s | like after we did it we were kind of |
| 2157s | like well should we do more it's like |
| 2159s | well we already did that so actually |
| 2161s | like we don't have any plans for any |
| 2162s | more like World Records right now but it |
| 2164s | was um yeah I think 20 years from now I |
| 2166s | hope when people look back at Sky and |
| 2168s | they look back at that game company and |
| 2169s | and everything we did they'd be like |
| 2170s | well that was a that was a company that |
| 2172s | was just always trying to go out there |
| 2173s | and mix it up and like do cool things |
| 2175s | that like you know weren't as like |
| 2177s | common or normal and was always trying |
| 2179s | to like have fun like I hope hope that's |
| 2181s | how we're remembered so people able to |
| 2184s | attend skyfest physically presenti there |
| 2187s | that's going to be a completely |
| 2188s | different experience from they have |
| 2190s | experienced on Sky assemblies right |
| 2191s | that's just on the other side of the |
| 2194s | spectrum yeah you think Sky assembly is |
| 2197s | like bigger like if someone took the sky |
| 2199s | assembly |
| 2200s | like I mean it's gonna be you you go |
| 2202s | like uh I think Los angelist the one we |
| 2204s | did last year that Stelly ran was like |
| 2206s | in my opinion perfect like it was a |
| 2209s | perfect Sky assembly I think she like |
| 2210s | actually found like the most correct |
| 2212s | answer to the sky assembly problem that |
| 2214s | I had ever seen um but even then like if |
| 2216s | you walked around there was like you |
| 2217s | walked in there were some tables to draw |
| 2219s | at there was like a photo booth um you |
| 2222s | know there were some like developer |
| 2223s | talks right I I think like a lot of |
| 2226s | those same ideas you'll see at uh |
| 2230s | skyfest right just at on a larger scale |
| 2232s | and like hopefully with like more yeah I |
| 2235s | don't want to spoil anything I'll just |
| 2236s | say larger scale that's what I'll say |
| 2238s | larger scale you guys so stay up uh what |
| 2242s | what I was able to squeeze out of Worden |
| 2245s | was larger scale from Sky assemblies and |
| 2248s | a very similar experience in game then |
| 2250s | you guys are going to experience IRL so |
| 2252s | you are welcome for that uh if Chad has |
| 2255s | any questions about Sky Fest Sky |
| 2256s | assemblies running uh communities this |
| 2259s | is a really good opportunity to share |
| 2260s | with us so please do go ahead we are |
| 2263s | keeping an eye on I see Krill kid Nicks |
| 2266s | in the YouTube chat I was at the world |
| 2268s | record well hello hello we were also at |
| 2270s | the world record so I probably met you |
| 2272s | probably said hello you're probably like |
| 2273s | oh they're very bald and that's true |
| 2275s | yeah yeah and I'm sure that the media |
| 2278s | room that you were in navigating the the |
| 2280s | audio and video folks was very |
| 2283s | comfortable right it was the AC was on |
| 2285s | and everything it was definitely not |
| 2288s | summer in Europe is all I it was no it |
| 2291s | was it was very I was a very sweaty man |
| 2294s | as I tried to direct all that but you |
| 2296s | know um no nothing worth doing is not |
| 2298s | worth sweating over or |
| 2301s | maybe there's probably a positive |
| 2303s | version to this can somebody clip this |
| 2305s | on Twitch I I would love to have that oh |
| 2308s | love to have that a lot I'm seeing eggs |
| 2310s | in chat oh okay it's cuz Wes Wes is a |
| 2312s | troublemaker Wes what are you doing get |
| 2314s | out of here let's see here if we have |
| 2316s | any more |
| 2318s | questions so same question I suppose uh |
| 2322s | Rob that we we we we learned a lot from |
| 2325s | our first Sky assemblies and to make |
| 2328s | something just like styfi did right |
| 2329s | something that as you said was you know |
| 2332s | the you know hitting the nail right on |
| 2335s | the head making a nearly perfect EXP |
| 2337s | experience for Sky assemblies what have |
| 2340s | we learned from former trade shows that |
| 2343s | is going to make skyfest just be bigger |
| 2345s | and better than all of the other trade |
| 2347s | show presences that we have |
| 2349s | had a good question um yeah I think I |
| 2354s | would say I have personally learned that |
| 2356s | when it comes to trying to build a trade |
| 2358s | show experience you have to be like very |
| 2359s | focused in what you're trying to make |
| 2361s | you know sky is so big right and there's |
| 2363s | so many visually and and um audibly |
| 2366s | striking parts of the EXP erience that |
| 2368s | like you know if I could I would just |
| 2370s | like Snap My Fingers in like a trade |
| 2372s | show would just be all of Sky it's just |
| 2374s | all like you know Tokyo game show next |
| 2376s | year just all Sky it's just that's all |
| 2378s | it is um so you have to really like kind |
| 2380s | of focus down to like what's the |
| 2381s | experience you're trying to make and how |
| 2383s | do you like represent it in a way that |
| 2384s | feels good to players um that's I guess |
| 2387s | the second lesson is anytime you build |
| 2389s | something um you know when you work in a |
| 2391s | video game Studio you are ultimately |
| 2393s | building it for the players right and so |
| 2395s | like regardless of like what you want to |
| 2397s | make right and like where you start you |
| 2399s | have to find a version of it that like |
| 2401s | feels good to the audience you're |
| 2403s | beholden to and so you know in like the |
| 2405s | trade shows we did it's kind of like |
| 2407s | well what's the Creative Vision but what |
| 2408s | would be like a good experience for |
| 2409s | players and then how do you make sure |
| 2411s | you narrow that down into a scope that's |
| 2414s | deliverable um I would say like those |
| 2416s | are kind of like the main main lessons |
| 2418s | that I've taken from working on the |
| 2419s | different trade |
| 2420s | shows uh Miguel q19 1990 says I want to |
| 2425s | be Weir's friends in Sky to used the Pet |
| 2428s | Head emote of him well my sky kid's not |
| 2431s | actually bald my sky kid has glorious |
| 2433s | hair I've made that sh I like the |
| 2435s | Glorious hair it's a it's a roleplay to |
| 2437s | escape kind of thing right so like I'm |
| 2439s | like I'm very tall in sky and I have a |
| 2441s | full head of hair and I'm definitely a |
| 2443s | very you know handsome Sky Kid so it's |
| 2446s | that's what I that's what I strive |
| 2449s | for perfect let's see here if there's |
| 2452s | any other questions uh I I missed your |
| 2455s | name but somebody said that they also |
| 2456s | met us a at Gamescom and they were they |
| 2460s | went to Gamescom to celebrate their |
| 2462s | brother's birthday who introduced them |
| 2464s | to Sky so certainity that's uh that's |
| 2467s | really cool nice that's well I you know |
| 2469s | I'll just say real quick to to kind of |
| 2471s | derail a little bit like we often times |
| 2474s | he that people get into Sky because like |
| 2476s | it was like a friend or a loved one kind |
| 2478s | of told them I think sky is one of those |
| 2480s | things that it's like it's when someone |
| 2482s | you you know and you trust tells you |
| 2484s | about Sky I think it's like makes more |
| 2486s | sense when they describe this idea of |
| 2487s | like hey it's about connection and it's |
| 2489s | about like artistic expression I think |
| 2491s | yeah that's like usually what we see so |
| 2493s | that I don't know that's really |
| 2493s | heartwarming story and it's something we |
| 2495s | we see a fair bit of when it comes to |
| 2497s | Sky so that's awesome I'm glad I'm glad |
| 2499s | that you two are close and that you were |
| 2501s | able to enjoy Sky together how can the |
| 2504s | community participate Rob like if they |
| 2506s | want to help Skype they want to have |
| 2508s | these gatherings if they want |
| 2510s | to promote more of Sky to other people |
| 2513s | right what's the best first steps for |
| 2515s | them to do well my you know know there |
| 2518s | to be clear people's responsibilities is |
| 2520s | just to like play the game and have fun |
| 2522s | so um it's our it's our job to make sure |
| 2524s | other people know about sky but um yeah |
| 2526s | I would say like at the end of the day |
| 2528s | um you know it Sky really is a game that |
| 2530s | I think more so than any other I've |
| 2532s | played is really like best enjoyed with |
| 2534s | someone else right like I I mean that's |
| 2536s | just my opinion um I know a lot of folks |
| 2538s | play by themselves and like certainly I |
| 2540s | have days when I play by too but or play |
| 2542s | by myself too but like all of my best |
| 2544s | memories of sky are with someone else |
| 2547s | and so I think like yeah it's it's a |
| 2548s | game that's designed to be very |
| 2550s | approachable so that you know like you |
| 2552s | could play with like your your grandma |
| 2554s | um you could play with like your I don't |
| 2556s | know 10-year-old niece or nephew right |
| 2558s | so I would say like yeah it it's really |
| 2561s | just sky is really kind of built on this |
| 2564s | community we have so I think like |
| 2566s | anytime that you can like show it to |
| 2568s | someone you care about and you can give |
| 2569s | them a good experience if you you know |
| 2571s | are having a good time um I think that's |
| 2573s | something that you can do that hopefully |
| 2575s | will make their lives better hopefully |
| 2576s | will make them happier and then |
| 2577s | obviously like anytime we have more |
| 2579s | players who play sky like we're happy |
| 2581s | too I it's really one of those things |
| 2582s | where the greatest joy we get is is |
| 2585s | watching other people enjoy the game so |
| 2587s | um anytime you know folks care enough |
| 2590s | about our game to invite someone they |
| 2592s | care about like that obviously makes us |
| 2594s | feel really warm and fuzzy inside you |
| 2596s | mentioned memorable moments in Sky do |
| 2598s | you mind sharing one of your most |
| 2600s | memorable moments playing the game yeah |
| 2603s | I I have a very easy one um so when I |
| 2606s | played through season of Prophecy and I |
| 2607s | played through the trial of Earth um I |
| 2609s | absolutely suck at Platformers so like I |
| 2612s | was just getting windmill slammed by all |
| 2614s | the the jumps but you know it's like |
| 2615s | trial of birth is one you do with a |
| 2617s | partner um and so honestly this is this |
| 2620s | sounds really messed up to say but like |
| 2622s | I'm gonna like actually start like |
| 2623s | tearing up if I tell the story so I need |
| 2625s | to like do it in such a way where it's |
| 2626s | like I don't do that um someone waited |
| 2629s | 10 minutes for me at the end to finish |
| 2631s | all the jumps and they just stood there |
| 2633s | the whole time kind of like cheering me |
| 2634s | on right and then when I finally did it |
| 2637s | I got to other side and they just like |
| 2639s | sat there clapping for me and |
| 2641s | like I don't know it's it was so it was |
| 2644s | such a powerful moment of just being |
| 2645s | accepted that I think in adulthood is |
| 2647s | sometimes difficult because it makes you |
| 2649s | feel like in adulthood there are so many |
| 2651s | times where you feel stressed and you |
| 2653s | maybe feel like you're not good enough |
| 2654s | and you have these moments of like what |
| 2656s | am I doing with my life and so just like |
| 2658s | lying in bed like playing on my iPad and |
| 2660s | just having someone like basically just |
| 2663s | say like hey you can't make this jump |
| 2664s | you suck at this jump but like you I |
| 2667s | will wait for you and then I'll like |
| 2668s | celebrate when you do it which is I |
| 2670s | don't know it's really powerful moment |
| 2671s | and I think it's like every time I come |
| 2673s | back like what type of game is sky like |
| 2675s | I think about that like that's what sky |
| 2677s | is many people in chat are you know you |
| 2680s | mentioned about adulthood many people |
| 2681s | here are just saying I'm 42 I'm 30 I'm |
| 2683s | 50 so a lot of the older folks here you |
| 2686s | know leaving the exactly you know |
| 2689s | playing the game maybe exactly for this |
| 2690s | moment when when I before I ever thought |
| 2693s | about working at that game company I |
| 2694s | used to just like I'd have really like |
| 2696s | rough and stressful days at my last job |
| 2697s | and like I would get off work and I |
| 2699s | would like turn off all the lights and I |
| 2701s | would like turn on the AC so I was like |
| 2703s | super cool and I would just sit there |
| 2705s | and I would like have my iPad like up on |
| 2708s | like the loudest volume just listening |
| 2710s | to the music and just relaxing and and |
| 2712s | Sky really like helped me helped me feel |
| 2715s | better after just really challenging |
| 2716s | days so I think like yeah there's |
| 2718s | totally I know we have like a lot of |
| 2720s | younger folks with play sky but if |
| 2721s | you're an adult playing sky and that's |
| 2722s | like a place you can go to that makes |
| 2724s | you feel better or make you feel good or |
| 2726s | just less stressed like hey I'm I'm |
| 2728s | right there with you therea soup on |
| 2731s | Twitch I love waiting and helping peeps |
| 2732s | in skyp is so sweet when people complete |
| 2736s | when people complete strangers are |
| 2738s | cheering you on when they could easily |
| 2740s | just leave you and move on with their |
| 2742s | things that's but I think that's like |
| 2743s | that's part of being you know you know |
| 2746s | we say Sky Kid a lot right but that's |
| 2747s | like that's really part of being it it's |
| 2749s | it's kind of its own culture of yeah |
| 2751s | like unfortunately sometimes the world |
| 2752s | can be a bit harsh so like what you see |
| 2755s | in sky is more often than not like |
| 2756s | people who are like to like you know |
| 2758s | wait for you hand out stretched right |
| 2761s | and help you and I think like that's sky |
| 2764s | is a game to be clear and I think it's a |
| 2765s | fun game but there are also those |
| 2767s | moments where you realize it's really |
| 2768s | just something more too it's it's about |
| 2770s | like I I don't know I'm gonna say cheesy |
| 2772s | stuff so I'm gonna stop but it's it's |
| 2773s | really just about like our best our best |
| 2776s | instincts as a species hopefully um kind |
| 2779s | of prevailing and then also just a lot |
| 2780s | of honking so sometimes it's not like |
| 2782s | deep or profound it's just like running |
| 2784s | around in circle spam honking which I |
| 2785s | have done on multiple occasions and we |
| 2787s | can do it right now Chad if you guys can |
| 2789s | just put a honk uh here for for Wen I'm |
| 2791s | sure he's going to appreciate it and uh |
| 2794s | Big Dreams little motivations uh send |
| 2796s | sends a me a message to you on YouTube |
| 2799s | Warden I actually relate I don't even |
| 2801s | need to play the game just the sounds |
| 2803s | are chefskis for calming myself down |
| 2806s | yeah uh our our lead audio designer |
| 2809s | Reitz mutani is an absolute wizard when |
| 2812s | it comes to sounds and um he'll actually |
| 2813s | be doing oh okay well I guess I'm GNA |
| 2816s | spoil something he is supposed to do a |
| 2818s | panel um at skyfest talking about sound |
| 2822s | design um and I I think we're going to |
| 2824s | try to upload it later to YouTube and I |
| 2827s | hope youall get to watch it like I I |
| 2828s | watched a presentation he did on sound |
| 2830s | design once and I was just like like I |
| 2832s | was already really impressed by what he |
| 2833s | did but I think just like watching that |
| 2835s | and internalizing like how much thought |
| 2837s | goes into like the placement of the |
| 2839s | sound like where it originates from like |
| 2841s | how it kind of um you know resonates you |
| 2843s | know based on like if it's raining or |
| 2844s | something like I just ended up with so |
| 2847s | so much respect so much more respect |
| 2849s | than I already had for Reit so yeah |
| 2851s | anyway Reit is amazing Sky sound design |
| 2853s | awesome Sky Sound and Music is chefi |
| 2858s | topnotch which we're listening to by the |
| 2860s | way we do have a a a playlist on Spotify |
| 2863s | so go check it out guys it's a it's a |
| 2865s | good tool to relax it's a really good |
| 2867s | tool to relax uh Warden we are talking |
| 2871s | about we were talking about uh different |
| 2874s | gaming communities right do you think |
| 2876s | sky Community is possibly one of the |
| 2879s | most unique ones that you have run into |
| 2881s | or managed all together um yeah I would |
| 2885s | say well okay so I feel like that's like |
| 2887s | I feel that was like a softball question |
| 2889s | but I'm gonna take it um yeah I would |
| 2891s | say like because so much of the gaming |
| 2893s | space um that's not just like strictly |
| 2896s | single player it tends to be competitive |
| 2898s | by Nature like I do think that sky is |
| 2900s | just inherently in the way it's built um |
| 2903s | has a very unique Community because you |
| 2905s | know while there is some degree of |
| 2906s | competition maybe in like the races um |
| 2908s | in like Valley for example for the most |
| 2910s | part like what you see is people who |
| 2912s | like kind of go the other direction so |
| 2914s | if like competition is going this way |
| 2916s | then like helping others is going this |
| 2917s | way um so I think by like the the DNA of |
| 2920s | the game right it's just a very very |
| 2922s | unique and standout experience of the |
| 2924s | sort of people who hang out you know um |
| 2927s | very much live up to that awesome guys |
| 2931s | if you have any other questions in chat |
| 2933s | I do have a question myself uh well all |
| 2935s | of these questions I guess came from me |
| 2937s | but like that's a legitimate curiosity |
| 2939s | that I have and I hope uh sky kids can |
| 2942s | can also get something from it so we are |
| 2945s | expanding right we just launched on PC |
| 2948s | we are seeing a lot of new streamers uh |
| 2951s | playing sky for example it's a it's a |
| 2954s | different crowd coming in right and our |
| 2957s | sky kids are welcoming them to you |
| 2959s | personally what is your goal for Sky |
| 2963s | Community moving forward right we are |
| 2966s | please Play Station switch mobile PC now |
| 2970s | what is your next goal what do you want |
| 2973s | next for Sky |
| 2976s | Community yeah that's a good question um |
| 2980s | I think really what I'm like most |
| 2982s | focused on now is really the the fifth |
| 2985s | anniversary I think you know if you a |
| 2987s | lot of our a lot of folks who uh play |
| 2989s | sky we've kind of like you know we've |
| 2991s | talked to them and we understand many of |
| 2992s | them are maybe not like don't play as |
| 2995s | many games outside of sky as like I'm |
| 2997s | might or you might and so I think for |
| 2998s | for those who don't know um it's kind of |
| 3001s | a rarity for games to reach 5 years |
| 3003s | that's actually like not that's really |
| 3005s | not a given and so like the only reason |
| 3006s | we've been able to do that is just |
| 3008s | through through all of you who play the |
| 3009s | game um and so I think I hope you know |
| 3012s | it's when you do something for long |
| 3014s | enough it can kind of start to feel |
| 3016s | routine right so like when you play a |
| 3017s | game like sky and there's like a there's |
| 3020s | you know Four Seasons a year right |
| 3021s | there's you know the different days of |
| 3023s | events and to a degree it's kind of like |
| 3024s | okay well like what's the next thing |
| 3026s | what's the next thing what's the next |
| 3027s | thing like I hope for for the fifth |
| 3029s | anniversary that like we as a community |
| 3031s | can really stop and just like take a |
| 3033s | breath and think about where we've been |
| 3036s | all the friends we've made you know all |
| 3038s | the things we've gone through I mean Sky |
| 3039s | launched during a global pandemic right |
| 3042s | like we've all been through so much I |
| 3044s | hope we can all just take a moment and |
| 3045s | like appreciate um each other everybody |
| 3048s | who's like made the game everybody who's |
| 3050s | you know um been a part of playing the |
| 3051s | game giving feedback made content about |
| 3054s | it um yeah it's it's really what I'm |
| 3056s | looking forward to I hope it's um I hope |
| 3058s | it's like a fun celebration right like |
| 3060s | end of Return of the Jedi style but I |
| 3062s | also hope there's like kind of that like |
| 3064s | moment of just like quiet uh internal |
| 3066s | reflection where we just stop and think |
| 3068s | like man this is crazy we've had five |
| 3071s | years of this right like what are the |
| 3072s | next five years going to be like what |
| 3074s | what is like the next 10 years of sky |
| 3076s | like what what can we kind of make it |
| 3077s | together um so yeah I hope I hope we the |
| 3081s | we all meet this I think kind of like |
| 3083s | heavy and really cool |
| 3085s | moment that's |
| 3087s | awesome you guys I think we are nearly |
| 3090s | about to wrap up if you have any further |
| 3092s | questions please do let us know but in |
| 3095s | the meanwhile Wen anything that you want |
| 3097s | to share with the community anything |
| 3100s | that you want to say to all of these |
| 3101s | folks uh watching us today uh |
| 3105s | any tips hopes expectations yeah look |
| 3109s | both ways before crossing the road that |
| 3111s | I'm gonna write that down just a sec |
| 3113s | okay thank you yeah that's important um |
| 3115s | no but I would also just say that like |
| 3117s | well first of all Tio thank you um for |
| 3120s | doing these live streams you know I |
| 3121s | think it's been fun to see the live |
| 3123s | stream project kind of come back and it |
| 3125s | we took a bit of a Hiatus but like |
| 3126s | you've really done a great job of like |
| 3128s | making sure that you know we we have a |
| 3130s | chance to get out in front of the |
| 3131s | players and kind of like talk about |
| 3132s | what's coming up like what we're working |
| 3133s | on just like what giant goofballs we are |
| 3136s | um you know I certainly I hope people |
| 3138s | take from these streams that we're just |
| 3140s | like people too and we just kind of are |
| 3142s | goofballs who do silly things and you |
| 3145s | know sometimes we're motivated by really |
| 3147s | just silly desires um but to to all of |
| 3150s | the players um I just say thank you |
| 3152s | honestly just yeah like I said most |
| 3154s | games don't get to make it to five years |
| 3156s | so the fact that we do is just really a |
| 3157s | reflection of all of you um you know I |
| 3159s | will say I |
| 3161s | know yeah this year we've definitely had |
| 3163s | some moments where like unfortunately |
| 3165s | like maybe a box wasn't check somewhere |
| 3167s | or something didn't like go where it was |
| 3168s | supposed to and there have been some |
| 3170s | challenges at various points in the game |
| 3172s | and I like to think the team has like |
| 3173s | worked really quickly to try to fix them |
| 3174s | but I know it can be you know it can be |
| 3176s | fresh as a player and so I just want to |
| 3178s | say like we internally are working |
| 3180s | really hard um you know to fix certain |
| 3182s | things and try to like create better |
| 3184s | processes that allow for those things |
| 3186s | not to happen um the reality is like |
| 3188s | game design is not an exact science and |
| 3190s | especially like as you try to like build |
| 3192s | and develop a game further than maybe it |
| 3194s | was like initially meant to be um you |
| 3196s | know you run into all kinds of like |
| 3197s | weird edge cases and problems and I |
| 3199s | think I'm always impressed by how hard |
| 3201s | the team Works to try to like correct |
| 3203s | those but for sure as a player I'm sure |
| 3205s | it's just like oh you know a season |
| 3207s | launch and there was a server error |
| 3208s | again and so I I do want to apologize |
| 3210s | and also just say that like that's |
| 3212s | definitely something we take seriously |
| 3213s | and it's something we're working on um |
| 3215s | and yeah I don't know I feel like I feel |
| 3217s | very optimistic about the future of Sky |
| 3219s | um I think we're g to have like many |
| 3221s | more years together as a community so |
| 3222s | thank you keep being kind to each other |
| 3225s | um and you know if you see someone at |
