BlueSkies is a series of RPG Maker games developed by Starmage.

The planet of Vyen was created by the goddess Vyena, but humans proved to be chaotic due to their free will and intelligence giving them a capacity for good and evil, leading to many wars. The alien Celestials saw fit to intervene by infiltrating human society in an attempt to maintain balance. Additionally, the demonic forces of the Pits seek to subvert Vyena's authority and remake the planet in their leader Matria's image. Finally, Vyena and Matria aren't the only ones involved in a Divine Conflict, since the mysterious Deity of Time has their own designs for Vyen.

Games in the series include:

• BlueSkies
• BlueSkies 2
• Blue Skies 3 (a game yet in development taking place some time after the second)
• Elf's Diary
• Heroes of the Seasons
• Restoring Falmay
• Delvin: Origins
• Whispers in the Bitter Frost
• The Final Prayer
• Her Heart, Anew

This series contains examples of the following:

• Aerith and Bob: There are mundane names like Alden and Tina, unusual like October or Heart, mythology names like Daedalus and Ophelia, and even fantasy names like Melyra and Xent.
• Alternative Calendar: Starting from Heroes of the Seasons, the game descriptions use Arcane Renaissance to state what year the games take place in. This refers to the year the Holy Order of Vyena made peace with the mages and appointed Lyrelle, a white mage, as their chancellor, making it so that the second game takes place during 0 AR. For events taking place before the Arcane Renaissance, the years are denoted as Descended Age (DA).
• Coming of Age Story: In a way for the main series. Skye and Caven set out to the world to explore it. Even them losing the home village in the former's and his mother in the latter's cases is a dark, but cliched, take on starting their life and that nothing in the world is permanent, though unlike some cases, they eventually get revenge on the two men responsible for the crime. While Lyrelle spent most of her childhood sheltered in a forest house, but after an encounter with a crusader has to find another place, which starts her journey.
• Darker and Edgier:
  • BlueSkies 2 is considerably darker than the first BlueSkies game. While the first game had many dark moments because of Xmeil's war crimes, the attack was stopped thanks to Skye and his friends' teamwork. In the second game, however, the Holy Order already rules the world with an iron fist and has already killed many of the mages. And whenever Lyrelle tries to save other people, they capture her for her bounty.
  • Delvin: Origins and Whispers in the Bitter Frost are even darker. In the first, you play a demon and the White Sheep of his otherwise evil family and you search around in Hell with many scary monsters, the latter is more akin to a horror game rather than an adventure game.
  • The Final Prayer also beats BlueSkies 2 in darkness. You play an Anti-Hero rather than an All-Loving Hero, witness a genocide and it ends with the entire group dead. While the three allies are killed quickly, the protagonist gets burned alive at a stake. For mercy, the Big Bad is poisoned to death and then the curtain opens for BlueSkies 2 where Lyrelle is born and Rhetz the one in power of the army.
• Draconic Abomination: Scion, the Devourer of Worlds, is the offspring of Matria, the demoness of false light and divinity. While their mother appears humanoid, they take the appearance of a dark dragon in the second game. Their appearance in Heroes of the Seasons gives them extra eyes all over their body to show how demonic they are compared to regular dragons..
• Healer Signs On Early: The first two games start the player with Skye and Lyrelle respectively, who specialize in healing magic. However, both games also have short segments without these two in the party, forcing the player to rely on healing items instead.
• Justified Save Point: Ophelia, Pixie, Shad, and Daedalus are all NPCs who document the party's progress. Ophelia in particular is an immortal who is closely associated with Vyena, implying their ability to save is a blessing from Vyena. However, their services aren't required in Heroes of the Seasons, which lets the player save from the menu.
• Vestigial Empire:
  • Xmeil was once a powerful and antagonistic empire in the first game, but in the second game, the only thing left of that empire is a small village, with Alpatina City being more powerful and affluent in comparison. However, Xmeil becomes an empire again centuries later in the third game.
  • In The Final Prayer, Respene Kingdom was once a prosperous nation of beastfolk and goblins, but is wiped out by the Holy Order of Vyena. By the time of BlueSkies 2, the only civilization remaining is Respene Village, which is populated by humans.
