TS hints for the month
TGC recently released the dates for all the Traveling spirts that will be coming this week. They also shared a teaser for where these spirits will be from. Care to try to take a guess? the image is below. According to the community the middle one is the current TS. Many people think the first one is the village of dreams and the third one is the windpaths!
New things coming this year
TGC Recently shared a blog post about new things coming this year! They shared a lot of small details so let's get into everything.
Next season
They have confirmed that next season will center around Aviary village and player creations. Players will finally get a space that they can call their very own home! We can only speculate at this point but it seems they could be working on a space a player could perhaps visit alone or have free rein of decorating. It could be an area with a larger shared space than the other shrines that would allow players to share how they'd decorate the space! That would be exciting and with what little we know now there's lots of room to imagine what it could be. As the devs would say WAFO!
Player creations
They announced that they will be making changes to player creations along with this next season! There will be changes to how we can find friend's notes and we've already seen a few changes in Beta that have received mixed reactions but these changes are all still in early development and may change! We will most likely see big changes with shared spaces and a rehaul of how players encounter notes and leave likes on them.
Offline friends
Sky will be adding a way to connect with offline friends! This could mean we're getting a friends inbox or some new interactions for offline friends. They also mentioned new ways to send and receive hearts so we might see something with that as well!
Quality of life changes
There are a few changes aimed at making gameplay more enjoyable or allowing bug fixes to be made faster. The way our skykids take damage will be getting a few changes which is something that is already in the works in beta! We'll also be getting some changes to the UI to make it easier to find the exact emote we want! No more sitting there awkwardly for a solid minute looking for the bow emote!
Upcoming events
They also mentioned Days of Bloom and Days of Sky returning in this blog post. Days of Bloom is in the works on Beta but right now there's nothing known about days of Sky. Sky will be turning 5 this year which is a huge milestone and the Devs have said that there will be the biggest party Sky has seen to celebrate Sky's upcoming anniversary!

Their Season IAP event Deer Diary still has limited space for registration. Participants have to write a diary entry from the pov of the deer, one of the season spirits, or a Skykid with a limit of 200-500 words.
TSK
They recently wrapped up their in-game event Racing Towards Fortune, where participants met up in game to participate in a flying race using the new race prop. They had 8 rounds of this and participants needed to make sure they all had only 10 cape stars to keep it fair. Winners of the first 7 rounds participated in the last round to win. The Prize was Days of Fortune IAPS for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Check them out for more events they host!

Ancient Memories
7 Days of Sky Day 3
We're continuing our dive into 7 days of Sky, this time we're taking a look at day 3 which focused on the Hidden Forest.
The Devs wanted this level to hint at the consequence of development. Forest is one of the realms that was impacted the most by the Technology the ancestors created. They wanted a level based on rain from the start and worked on developing areas that have varying amounts of rain.
The Elder used to have a Lynx mask and an umbrella. The concept for the Umbrella seems to have been reused for the Lightseeker Ult Umbrella. Also the elder's Lynx mask can still be seen above the temple door. they are the only elder who still has any hints of their concept design in the live version of the game.
Thank you for reading!
