My Time at Portia - Jonno


Hey Portians,

Today we’re excited to reveal a new feature that’s coming in April’s content update - Camera Mode! This new feature will allow you to take pictures with a camera and store them in an album, giving you the opportunity to document your adventures in Portia! Camera Mode will allow you to not only take a photo of a scene or NPCs, you can also take selfies and pose with the various residents of Portia!







Currently in My Time At Portia, if you see something you’d like to take a picture of, you’re limited to using external software or Steam’s F12 button. We felt this was too restrictive on our players as it doesn’t allow you to hide your character, change the camera angle or stop time to get the perfect shot. Our aim with the new Camera Mode is to make all of this right and support our picture taking enthusiasts in Portia! When using Camera Mode, your character and UI will disappear, and time will stop. We feel that this will take off a lot of pressure off the player when it comes to taking a good photo, far more convenient in our opinion!





To help introduce this new feature, we’ll also be adding some camera related stories/missions in the April update. These will be designed around snapping pictures of several NPCs, some specific items, as well as some of Portia’s scenery.

We’ve made it as easy as possible to take pictures with your fellow Portians, just look out for the prompt in a new interact bubble. Oh, and by the way, the closer you are with the NPC in question, the more poses you’ll be able to do!







What kind of poses do you think you’ll be able to do when Camera Mode launches? Tell us your guesses in the comments section!

That's all for now, we look forward to seeing what you make of Camera Mode when it launches later this month.

My Time at Portia

Early Access farming sim My Time At Portia gained several new features in a major update last week, namely the update's namesake: livestock. That's right: you can now keep, raise and breed your very own sheep, chicken, ducks and cows. 

The update also added the option to ride horses, though for now you have to rent a horse from MacDonald Farm. Developer Pathea Games says a future update will add the option to raise and ride your own horses. But hey, at least you can also ride your rent-a-horse with your romantic partner, which leads us to the livestock update's lovey-dovey additions. 

My Time At Portia is something of a distant cousin to Stardew Valley, and like Stardew Valley it lets you romance the locals. Thanks to the livestock update, you can now romance them by stargazing and chatting in the meadow, and once you've wooed your sweetheart—perhaps one of Portia's newly added new partners, like the buff furniture maker Paulie—you can now hug or kiss them anytime you want. 

Other, less romantic additions include a new desert dungeon and a museum where you can sell and showcase relics. Just as importantly, the update contributed some strong contenders for the strangest patch notes of 2018 (check out 2017's wonky list here), including such gems as: 

  •  Cat bed for Pinky. 
  •  Your spouse can sit on a chair at home. 
  •  Chicks and chickens will help Emily during sparring.  

You can view the full patch notes here.

My Time At Portia will launch from Early Access later this year. Lauren dove in last year and enjoyed her time in Portia despite making a total fool of herself—more on that here.

Hey guys, here's the hotfix for March update part 3. In this patch, you'll see more issues that have been fixed. But there're some of them are still pending.We'll need more time to fix them in April's update. For example,
1. When you ride and climb, you'll find the camera is shaking. We'll need to add one camera mode to make sure the camera will not shake.
2. Mint will not come back home after marriage.
3. The lag when you recycle the floor.
Besides, in the April's update, we'll also add the feature that you can move the furnitures directly instead of cutting them first.

Changelist:

Fixed the bug that the house and the assembly station will disappear for no reasons (you can re-build both of them in AG construction company and PLEASE PLEASE do re-build them first when you start the game after updating, or else the game may crash).
Fixed the bug that the mission Rescue in Ingall's Mine
cannot be triggered.
Adjusted the position of drying rack's position.
Fixed the time pause after the hugging.
Reduced the harm effect when got poisoned.
Added the lubricant as a dropping item in hazadous dungeon level 3 and level 4. And increased the dropping rate of lubricant in abandoned ruins.
Fixed the bug that the museum reward can get repeatedly.
Fixed the wrong room in hazadous dungeon.
Fixed the bug that the icon of the picture is different from what it really looks like.
Fixed the bug of Merlin's path finding.
Fixed the display error of the character's skin color after wearing worker's suit.
Fixed the bug that the leather sofa could make the character stuck in.
Added the tips for the items which can be displayed in museum.
Fixed the bug that Emily and Ack both stuck in character's front door.

Here is the hotfix part 2. And we'll have more fixes coming next week.

Changelist:

Fixed the bug when load the save in which the recycle machine was working.
Deleted the broken mirror in store (if you already bought one, please do not use it because the divorce feature is not completed).

Besides, please do not interact with Ginger in Gale's house, for it will cause time pause for some reason. But if you did (interacted with Ginger in Gale's house), then don't worry, you'll just need to take a snap to moving forward.

If you still met any bugs (items missing, and the favor point got empty), please tell us and send your save files (the last good save before it went wrong) to admin@pathea.net.
