Honestly, the first part shows how burnout can feel in the skykids shoes, it’s pretty cool how you showed the skykid being tired and dizzy all the time.

Sky is one of those aesthetic games that you could literally live through, but the burnout hits hard. Very repetitive. I love the anim btw! ❤️

Who was too lazy to even visit geyser and grandma’s table? Definitely not me, of course. 🌚

Bro I feel that. Sky just gets too repetitive sometimes and you feel pressured to get candle to get *super limited travelling spirit to make u look like a veteran* and it’s just tiring trying to find all of the candles and everything in time just to get something u will barley ever use.

As someone who's been setting aside the game these past few days, this is honestly comforting to see, even though I think catching all the firework lights started to feel like a chore too. I don't feel alone in burnout ;-;

Those cute little events we get occasionally is what keeps me in the game aside from my friends. I don't really bother with collecting the new seasonal cosmetics as much as I did when I was a moth. I do keep up with the seasonal quests when they are interesting. I'm already like at the retirement age in Sky but unfortunately I don't have pension candles 😂

That part where you have to light everyone’s candles, i never thought just how depressing it actually looked like. Great job with the animation!!! And the concept was the definition of relatable

I feel this. Usually with the Dragon, I get 20 candles but when Dragon left. My Candle count break in half

Ah yes, the endless cycle of collecting a minimum amount of 15 candles everyday, to which the Dragon made that Work way easier than we expected. To which i will say, Thank you, mr. Dragon

I got burntout once because i pressured myself to get as much candles and hearts as possible. It got too repetitive and got in the way of school so I just, deleted the game. 3 months later, I got back in because of a friend, and I’m honestly having much more fun. I just do dailies and sometimes a candle run in the realm with extra candles. I no longer pressure myself to get cosmestics cuz I just know they’ll come back later. Moderation is key

*Idle candle farming tip for everyone who's burnt out, I get 10-15 candles everyday this way doing NOTHING I'm serious.* This works during eventless periods as well. 1. Set your screen to never automatically shut off. 2. Open Sky and equip a music prop. 3. During special events, go to the place with the lights at home, otherwise go to the fireplace in the cozy nook in Daylight Prairie. 4. Stand in the middle and open your instrument, leave your device on the notes screen as you slowly collect wax. Profit! Now the thing about the fireplace is that there is actually a limit on the wax you get (1000 pieces in Prairie, so I've heard. Not sure about the event area but it seems to be 1500), but when you go afk and start to "sleep" you stop collecting wax. If your screen turns off you also stop collecting wax. Turns out that if you have the instrument screen open, your skykid will not go to sleep no matter how long you got it open for, so this way you can slowly mine the wax until you hit the limit and it stops spitting out wax entirely. That's it! I've been doing it since days of love started and I consistently get 15 candles every day by putting my phone down for about 2 hours. Maybe when the event ends and I have to go to the Prairie I'll only get about 10, cause I heard the max number of wax there is 1000 pieces. But hey! Free candles. Sky is way more fun when I don't have to candle run every day. Try it out, it's so useful it should be common knowledge.

I swear, geyser, grandma and dragon are literally life savers I used to candle run 3-4 realms per reset just to get at least 10 candles and it took forever 😭 But now that we have them I can finally get a life, as we get even more candles without having to spend so much time grinding (´▽｀)

Omg relatable in so much ways. Sky is fun, but not when we do the same thing everyday without something new or friends

This was the main reason why I take long breaks off of sky unless there are events like that. I love sky and it was a unique way to hang out with friends during quarantine, but now it feels like an extra chore.

I’ve been with this game since it first was on the AppStore ;-; it’s very easy to feel burnt out, but that’s why traveling spirits and new season are the best! It’s also always really fun when TSG updates and changes the game, cause then J can compare it to how it used to be :D

Yeah that pretty sums the events of Days of Fortune.I remember before the 1st Dragon I was at 35 and in end I got to 42 CANDLES.That was CRAZY.It's thanks to that I got the Earth cape with no issues.I have so much fun with this event(alongside with some companoius) and look forward to do this again in future.Happy days of love to every sky Children.

As much as I love the sky community and the scenery from sky cotl, the game is getting boring for me,especially when your friends are starting to quit... Fried Crab taste the same as I remember, but where are thoose who share the memory?

The Dragon: Come and get your free candles everyone! ^^ *proceeds to crash server cutely*

I feel the same. I feel the pressure to play Sky daily but it gets repetitive. It's ok to take a break and focus on real life.

Sky is like a second home to me, I always check in even for a small bit.

This is insanely well animated... and honestly the new candle collecting saved the game for me. Now I can actually talk to friends when they're on.

Oof, I feel this x) Tbh Sky can get that way sometimes. You just log in to do the dailies and log off, maybe light a few friends but that's it. I feel like what kept me going on sky and loving the game are all the wonderful friends I made on there. I feel like my day is incomplete if I don't get to see my closest friend even for just 20 minutes. Have a good day!

This why friendship and sense of humour are two important pillars in sky.

I miss that dragon

Oml it was my first time experiencing days of fortune! The dragon's theme song did slap tho I loved it 🤣❤️✨

As someone who has been playing for every single day for a whole year, I feel strong burnout. I've been pushing through it and burnout phases come and go, but I play anyways. That dragon though.. I love him so much. Until next year

My friends and i called the dragon Rayquaza and when we all meet in a call at weekend the call is like all in this minute doing the same thing: 0:45 dadduduadadiaddiadudu tattatataTUM tatatatatatatTum Imagine six persons doing that gliching a call Edit: Yeah we were singing that

Honestly same been burnt out from Sky for a while it's kinda sad :(

Nobody's talking about how those moffs love cleaning up the geyser, they appear from all angles before it even begins 🤣😭

I was going for 3.5 years strong and finally burnt out a couple of months ago. I’m not sure what has the power to bring me back, but I’ll always consider myself a sky kid.

i felt the pain... i wanted to hug your skykid so much. I was going to cry, but then Grandma and the Fortune spirts came and saved the day.

内容に共感出来るのはもちろんなんだけどただただ動かし方が天才すぎる…尊敬…

This video honestly summarised my time in sky. I have been going through this phase for some time now. I just want like a candle farm where I grow my wax I do not need to run for it. I feel pressure, I wish I could just spend time with the incredible friends that I made than running around stressed for wax, cuz without wax I can’t get anything 😭

Hi Ceci! Recently I came back to Sky after one year burnout and heartbreaks from friendship, and I started to peruse YT art vid about Sky. I remember you. Year ago someone shared your work on Chinese community, and we went hahahahaha full-on chatter and admiration on your work (the first vid you posted) I didn't realize you have continued to post more works. But I'm glad. As one year later I still get to enjoyed your work. And I really appreciate you posting out works, even (collaborated?) shared by tgcJ. Thank you for sharing your talent and emotions with the world. It has reached a lot of places, and my Sky experience is more rich because of your light-hearted, talented arts. Animation is really, really not easy. You have managed to make a Ceci-owl a favourite of mind. Very stylish, humourous, kind, considerate, sharp, a bit sarcastic and endurance Ceci. That's what I saw from your work. I hope you are well. Thank you again. ❤much love from me Ethane

Collecting candles was difficult, so I didn't do much, but after I found out about free candles, I stopped collecting candles all day long.

I relate to this so much. Farming starts to feel like a chore. Sometimes I only do quests then I hang out with friends or simply log out. This is why events in the home area that gives free wax is a blessing. Wonderful animation ✨✨

When you get all travelling spirits you'll feel better nothing to worry about and just chill and enjoy the vibes

I love how accurate this is. The burn out tho, everyone's felt that. I try to go on but it's still too much for me at times.

I get burnout occasionally and then take a break, but when I do come back, I have lots of energy and motivation to collect all the WL, go through Eden even though it scares me, and in general run around and have fun :)

I miss you fireworks dragon.... Until next year. Now I have to do prairie run+geyser+granny every day to reach a similar candle count, so I watch TV while I'm playing to avoid total burnout. If you ever see a kid ramming into walls mid-CR that would be me.

The only thing i do to avoid that is by watching or listening to something while candle running to entertain myself

This animatic is what made me download the app and discover a whole world of Sky and its wholesome community! Thank you so much💞☺️

As someone who hasn’t touched sky since almost the end of little prince..yea I do want to rejoin eventually, and worry less abt cosmetics maybe

Honestly I often just plug in my phone and go afk at grandma's table when I go to bed, usually I'll wake up to about three candles. Pretty good for not having to do anything haha

Ahh I’m so glad to see you back! I hope you’ve been well, and your vid perfectly describes how I’ve been feeling lately too haha

Bro the saddest thing is i sorta gave up because of burnout :’) it was my comfort game but then i sorta recked it by playing it all day everyday for an entire year

Awww the feels🥺 but don't forget that the reason for playing sky is to relax and chill with friends besides of always collecting candles🕯️

The part where the gratitude spirits show up gives me life

And this is why I decided to not do candle run period. I only collect candles I came upon when messing around in an area of my choice that day. It's less stressful :)

TRUE! When ever the dragon show up, I got so excited to light up the firework! We get so many candle from it ✨

Burn out hits harder when only 5 people in your entire constellation still play the game 😢 I'm just here for the season stories now cause I can't really get hearts

The burnout is real when you have limited time in a day to collect candles. I had to take many breaks because of that. Also the dragon animation is amazing!

This is so cute I love when u do these animations! Always so fun to watch! I feel myself get all excited when your new videos pop up! Thank u for that! I wish I had alot more for me to watch but I know u u are working hard to do that so thanks again!!! Your amazing 😍

Nice🤣great animation 👍🏻✨🌸

ayoooo your animations look amazing! cant believe u drew out and animiated the new years dragon omigosh. i respect

I am so glad that grandma and geyser were added. It allows me no not have to constantly candle run and I can easily get 15 candles each day. Remember everyone! Sky is a great game and all but too much of a good thing can be bad for your health! Take breaks and only keep on if you feel you are enjoying it. Playing other games or focusing on other pastimes can be fun as well.

Me and the bois in 3am waiting for the statues in Eden to refresh:

Aw the first part of the animation makes me very sad, I understand this feeling and it is very well shown by the animator, congratulations to him/her 🕊️🍀

I love your little animations so much ! :) Keep up the good work 💕

Ahh yes the music of our Salvation 😌🐉

are we all collectively having burnouts- I haven't been playing for 5 months, but it's already repetitive. The same thing: quests, cr, leave, repeat and me ofc not having any type of social skills, the game just gets boring alone, I wish there was more to do instead of "hahah new season but you still have to do the *same shit everyday* and wait 20 days for the most boring ass quest" or events where half of the cosmetics are IAPs that cost 99$ it just doesnt feel good, even if you're able to pay for it

I can relate to this all to well its amazing to see someone else illustrate things that you yourself have encountered- also yes dragon was sooooo helpful T-T

Amazingly animated video. So glad you posted! Hope you're not suffering to animation burn out as well. Don't push yourself to hard!

I don’t farm very often anymore because I was so burned out. I only play with my one friend anymore.

I already made up my mind that I was gonna quit, only staying because of Abyss but I will have all constellations done by the end the only thing that always eludes me is tallness

I love your animations, not only because it's good, but also relateable 😂

As a daily candlerunner... I feel this in my soul

beautiful animation, i havent played for months and i still wont touch it again as exploration was the whole appeal and then it didnt matter anymore once i got a look im content with, but the community is so creative! love this

The dragon really helped me everytime I ran out of energy, I got so sad when I learned that it was gone since it's only for Days of Fortune :')

Haven’t reached the burnout yet but the second half made me think of the first time I ever played sky. I saw a bunch of spirits by the dock and kept going to them for missions but that wasn’t how it worked at all 😅 so I’d leave to wander and figure things out like a moff

Wonderful animation as always ❤️ keep up the good work!

When i saw the cover I thought it's about having a deep talk with the deer guy 🤣 Love your animations 💞

Yay you’re back! This one is very relatable 🤧 Now that the dragon is gone I’m starting to burn out again. oh no

That feeling hits hard ): anyways, your animations are great as always! :D

My friend bought the season pass and left the game after being burnt out. Still miss that guy

This is so well portrayed~ These updates and events really saved me from complete burnout while my friends are too busy to play~

your anims are so good!

The friend constellation is the main reason I struggle with getting hearts, because I have to light up *everyone* too and I have so many :’) And failing to tap the button twice and end up canceling the constellation, then having to go all the way back from the center And getting woozy from the constant up and down panning of the camera with flashing lights. Getting only ~15 candles never feels like enough

i've been playin Sky consistently for months , it became a routine. I had an alarm set for grandma and everything xD The moment I had to skip a few days cos of irl stuff it ended up making me stop playing for weeks., Burnout is so easy to get when things are so repetitive

Sad to say that I'm one of those who already gave up not even the new season or events gave me enough motivation

I really love your videos!! They r so cute!! ❤

Okay-but why did the first part actually get me emotional tho??🥺...Prolly coz it’s so accurate :’)

Hey loving your channel and the animations, and I totally relate to this video. i did full candle runs and everything for like 6 months and the burnout was so bad that I quit. Your animations are making me wanna play again tho :D

ive never gotten burnout from sky, but im also broke haha~ luckily after a year and a half of playing + not missing seasons, im pretty much free from ts. but i dont really have a routine in sky. i dont go candle run every day and go catch idle wax when i feel like it. i just do daily, sometimes skip mindfully so to not spend on candle packs and during off season i relax and do as much as i can/want. please dont take sky activities as a chore. instead, see them as theyre always there for whenever you wish to come back. sometimes doing cr to me is relaxing, i can play and follow a pattern without focusing on it too much. sometimes i just like sitting at some building, playing music or trying oob. things being there dont mean you have to do them! with eden too. unless im in a lack of candles for the next ts or im running out of potions i simply dont go because its time consuming and im lazy to pick up my wl later. oh yeah, and im also always between 110 and 130 wl, despite my max is way past 150 now. i realized i dont need 11 flaps to go everywhere, so no reason to bother to collect them all. have fun in sky guys!!! do whatever you want to do, establish boundaries if socializing is hard, take your time and think twice if you really need every single item out there, or if you really cant skip a single day of dailies. its a game and its meant to make you happy ♡

Burn out is a real problem in this game. Also, I love how you drew the dragon.

Thankie for this wonderful video

I love your work

Remember to pace yourselves dearies! If you need to take a break, take a break!

I love the first part, the music is so depressing, but obsessive.

It will be difficult to fly freely 😥

i really like this :3 good job

Watching this again hits hard for me as I took a long break from sky due irl stress and problems taking a lot of my freetime. Somewhere after the season of Aurora, I don't candle run like I used to nor stay online much, only sticking around shortly for the anniversary or events that I've missed. I had a talk with my friends about it from my previous log in months ago, and they're so great to advice me to take breaks as much as I need. Whenever I receive candle notif, I promised to play again and cherish the moments with my friends once I return like how they're willing to wait for me 🥲💖

My favorite so far. Painfully relatable.

いつも見てます！！！大好きです！ I always watch your movies.I love you!!!

It’s so funny your animation. I love it!!!

Such a nice animation!!!

I'm not going to agree or disagree if the game is getting boring, it is for some and I'm not one of them. I'm sorry that I can't feel how those people are feeling, but I can imagine.😕 Anyways, I hope you recover from being burnt out, and hopefully find or do some new or possibly not boring in the game, if you have the interest to do so, that is. Good to have you back, Cecie. 🤗

THIS IS SO CUTE AND SMOOTH OMG AHAHAHSHA nice work! But please try to take breaks as well :(

The beginning is very accurate 🤣🤣🤣🥺 But the end was just- *perfect*

I just came back to the game after months of not playing and I say that break did me a whole lot of good. :>. Take a break sky kids and come back when you want to💞
