![]() ![]() There are numerous unique characters for you to discover in Sandrock, all with complex personalities and intricate backstories. The good news is that there are vast amounts of relics around these parts, some of them even hidden in plain sight! Most of the trees around the oasis were cut by the original settlers: nowadays, you’ll have to find alternatives. Wood is also a rare resource, as not many trees grow in the area. Water is a premium in Sandrock, with the only source being from Martle’s Oasis. ![]() Many people left, leaving the place in its vagarious state found today. At first, the city attracted many prospectors interested in an extensive supply of relics hidden beneath the desert, but, as time went on, the oasis dried up, leaving the city unable to sustain a large population. ![]() It was founded beside Martle’s Oasis on top of an ancient metropolis. Sandrock is a city-state located in the Eufaula Desert within the Alliance of Free Cities. This is not a simple reskin and rewrite of Portia with new NPCs.Ĭhronologically, this game takes place around the same time as My Time at Portia returning players will be able to enjoy seeing certain events that influenced Portia’s development from a new perspective. ![]() We’ve added enough gameplay tweaks in to keep things fresh, and also reworked some of the things players didn’t like about Portia. Returning Portia players will find plenty of familiarities, but still just as many new things we think will only add to the workshop building experience. There will be mesas, deep canyons, vast deserts, endless salt plains, breathtaking ruins, and more! We are aiming to give the player a truly satisfying feeling when the game “ends.” We’re also working to give you a beautiful open world to gather materials, explore, and maintain a homestead. My Time at Sandrock will maintain the simulation versus RPG balance that My Time at Portia had, with more depth for both. It’ll be up to you to use your wits and skills to unite the townsfolk and rebuild the city into a beacon of prosperity. Shops are run down, buildings are empty, and people are looking to leave. Recruited to Sandrock to be a Builder, you’ll arrive to find the town in a sad state. Finally, we’re going to self-port to the consoles so that we can make sure all the content is consistent across all platforms. Fifth, make sure the sound and voice-acting in this game are up to standard. Fourth, optimize it and make it as bug-free as possible (we learned a lot of lessons from Portia). Third, we’re going to have a dedicated single-player RPG and a special mode where friends or strangers can play together. We’re still aiming for a Miyazaki-inspired kind of world, but with a few other surprises thrown in… Second, we wanted to have the overall story arc be more satisfying, but also with more focus on each individual NPC. First, Sandrock will have a similar pathos to My Time at Portia, but offer a completely new experience with new types of gameplay. On top of that, we really wanted to include a form of multiplayer that would really meet expectations for our players, and My Time at Portia’s programming structure just didn’t support that. We required better graphics, better optimization, more story, and more satisfying gameplay systems: basically, we needed better production values across the board. But as we delved deeper into game production, we realized that in order to fully express the tale of Sandrock, we needed to start from scratch. The game released in Early Access for PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2022 with releases also planned for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.When we started working on Sandrock, it was supposed to be a downloadable addition to My Time at Portia. The sequel to My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock is a life simulation RPG that has players help to build and expand the town of Sandrock. Progress made during the beta will not carry over to the multiplayer’s release on the Early Access version, which is planned for early 2023. The multiplayer mode features alternative character storylines from the single player mode, covering part of Sandrock’s recent history, along with a full suite of options for mini-games and combat. The multiplayer mode will feature up to four players cooperatively working together. The beta, which will be available to owners of My Time at Sandrock‘s Early Access version, will begin at 7pm Pacific on January 12, 2023, and run through to January 20, 2023. Pathea Games and PM Studios have announced an open beta for the multiplayer mode of My Time at Sandrock. ![]()
