Sky: Children of the Light PC

So been playing Skycotl for a week now and this is the things I have list down for the whole time I play

Graphic nice😩✨✨

ooo grass

The control is one hell of a thing. It snappy as hell but damn its too snappy I can change direction mutliple time in one jump

The flying is ok but I have trouble in some area. Some part kinda hard for me to gain height even if I spin

The spinning in air is oh lord hard

If on mobile is blinding light, pc is just eye melting

Some oob area kinda looks the same (sad) some do look super nice some is better with mobile graphics

I have trouble to do some glitches due to way pc controls are

I CAN'T MOVE MY CAMERA WHEN EXPRESSION MENU OPEN😭

Chatting is easy but typo is typo heh

You can easily loose momentum with just a slight turn and its somewhat hard to gain momentum

Gonna come back after a year maybe to add on this.

Note: I have not eden at all on pc i'm scared lol I mainly a mobile player (I missed my translator)

I came to Sky for the Aurora concert, as a fan, not knowing anything about the game. I saw one of the first concerts and it was amazing! ✨

Soon after I started to explore the Sky realms and their beautiful landscape views. I also started making friends which showed me places to go. Here are my first photos with my first friends. This is also when I learned about the camera button… 😅📸

so here’s what’s been going on:

a couple days ago on July 2nd, TGC, again, retweeted fanart featuring whitewashed characters, this time white skykids. now, I’m not on Twitter much anymore, but I was that day. I was among others who commented how offensive it was for TGC to be promoting artwork that utilized this racist practice. 

at first came the usual opposition, I gave my piece, then the convo died down. thought that was the end of it. by the next day, it picked up again with an incredibly mean-spirited tone — insults, bad faith takes, attempts to shame my friends and I. it was pretty disgusting.

eventually another Twitter user reached out to me and shared a Reddit link. someone had reposted a few of our tweets without censoring our usernames to r/skychildrenoflight (an unofficial subreddit not affiliated with TGC) with full intent to mock and deride us. that post currently sits on the subreddit with over 250 upvotes and over 200 comments, the vast majority of which are so stupid, asinine, and unsurprisingly racist. it explains how the discussion picked up again — the thread had been brigaded, my friends and I were being harassed.

I’m not here to talk about why this is an instance of whitewashing and why it is bad — I have already done that, though it’s overdue for me to make a more comprehensive, eloquent write-up.

Sky is a wonderful game. I love Sky, I love the world, I have invested so much creative energy into it. I love playing music on the game. I have multiple fics in the works. I used to engage with lorechat in Skycord on the regular, enjoying sharing my thoughts and discussing theories with others there. I am always fascinated by the artwork the community produces, even started trying to draw myself. the fanart TGC retweeted the other day isn’t even that bad compositionally — the artist is incredibly talented — the problem is the whitewashing that is all too common here.

I have never been in a fandom where a disgustingly racist practice, among others, was so accepted. I have never been in a fandom that harbored bigots who were so hateful towards the kinds of people Sky normalized, that they were playing as and interacted with. this community frequently proclaims itself as welcoming, diverse, and wholesome, but those words are hollow when many perpetuate bigotry then attack those who call it out, saying “it doesn’t exist here” and “you’re making shit up to get mad at” and “your ancestors would be ashamed of you.”

on that last one, I should mention that the commentary got disgustingly personal. I stated that I was Black in the Twitter thread, which many latched on to. they said I was entitled, never faced real racism, was a child, was pulling the race card, was “the real racist,” was why Black people are not taken seriously in discourse.

I shouldn’t have to mention that I have faced racism irl, including violence, including followed by a police officer on campus in the dark that could have ended poorly. I shouldn’t have to mention the racist harassment I have faced both online and offline. I play Sky and engage with its community because the game gave me the idea that I could escape the world that hated me for one where I felt seen and welcomed. if someone was being hateful, adding more to pile of bigotry I have to fucking live with, I thought I would have the backing of the community to support me when I fought back. I was wrong.

what happened over the last couple of days exposed me to some of the worst the Sky community has to offer and it didn’t even surprise me.

it is well documented how people of color like myself are mistreated in white-dominated spaces. our discomfort is viciously denied as false or exaggerated. we are told to suck it up because fandom is supposed to be enjoyed, an escape, “don’t bring politics in here.” except fandom perpetuates the same problems we are trying to escape from. we are not given a damn break.

Sky Children Of The Light Art

Finally finished this beautiful picture of my sky character. I am so proud of this.

This took so long. I don't typically do full backgrounds for my art. Honestly I almost quit a couple of times while trying to work on the stone. Glad I didn't.
