We hope you’ve been enjoying Next Fest! It’s been great to get your feedback on the Demo version of Sky, and we hope you’ve been enjoying your travels through the realms. Next Fest will be wrapping up in a couple days, but before it does, we wanted to share some of our favorite concept art pieces from the game. Many of these were from early in the game’s development, but long-time players may recognize some locations and designs added during seasonal events. Whether you’re a veteran player or a moth, perhaps you can guess which concepts eventually grew and changed to become what you see in the game today.

Though the final designs look rather different, a hat and a couple of the capes ultimately kept their bioluminescent, orb-shaped tassels.
