Emotional update Sky: Children of the Light

Thatgamecompany studio celebrates the fifth anniversary of its unusual online game Sky: Children of the Light. On this occasion, the developers have prepared several updates, including a patch with redesigned daily tasks and added emotions. They also talked about their plans for the future: in the upcoming test builds, the public will be able to enjoy more interaction with friends - up to and including dancing together. We share the main points from the open letter.

The improvements will be released in several phases. The main goal is to add more social mechanics. If now daily quests gamer gives one spirit, then in the future it will be possible to interact with a group at once. Also will be available to exchange missions with friends: if for some reason you missed a meeting, after which begins a series of adventures, it's okay. The necessary list of quests will be shared with you by anyone you meet - if he has this list, of course. Finally, all plots will become more diverse, and new formats of quests will appear. Thatgamecompany characterizes all these changes as Relationship 2.0.

Also changes will affect the expression of emotions by characters, that is, gestures and dances. Some movements are already available, but their use will become easier - they will be placed in separate cells accessible from the hero cape menu. It will be possible to select up to eight favorite actions and quickly activate them on occasion. In principle, in the same menu will be allowed to add anything, even the use of tools, or teleportation between locations. Also in the plans - to diversify the choreography to organize real parties in the game with different styles, including jig and boogie-woogie.
