We’ve had a lot of players asking whether we will be releasing a Mac version of My Time At Portia. The answer is – yes!
We’ve been working hard on developing a Mac version, running into some issues with the grass in game along the way, but we’re happy to announce that we’ve solved this issue and are now working on optimisation and ensuring the overall stability of the game on Mac!
We will be releasing the Mac version at a later date, after the full release on PC.
We’ll post an announcement with more information and a confirmed release date soon.
The full release of My Time At Portia will be available for PC right here on Steam, priced at £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99, and will contain brand new content!
Early access players will not need to purchase the game again. It will update in your Steam library on the day of release – you don’t need to do anything else.
If you’re ready to give life in Portia a go, you can still purchase the game for the early access price of £15.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 until January 15th.
If you’ve ever wanted to host a party for your Portian friends, or take to the skies with a flying mount, then you’ll like what’s written below.
It’s party time in Portia!
If you’ve been playing My Time At Portia for some time now, the chances are you’ve earned yourself a wealthy amount of Gols (Go you!). This raises the question, “What should I do with all this money?”. Well for us, the answer must be to throw an epic party!
The above screenshot shows off some of the Portian residents socialising at a party. Keep in mind that you can only invite those who you’ve reached ‘friendship status’ with.
Before you can host a party, you’ll need to prepare! The first step is acquiring furniture. You can either purchase or craft the round tables for your guests. Each table can seat up to 10 guests, so if you’re looking to invite the whole town, you’ll want to have five tables. Oh, and whilst we’re on the subject of invites, you’ll need to buy those too!
All good parties need tasty food, and as the host, that falls to you! A. You can have up to 20 dishes on each table, so that means you’d need 100 dishes for five tables. This is another area that will require some of your hard earned Gols.
What’s more, you can’t just serve up any old dish to your guests, the food available on each table will also affect favor points earned from the party. So, try to prepare the dishes that you think the Portians you invited will enjoy the most.
As we mentioned in the last paragraph, inviting Portians to your party can increase the favor points you have with them and improve your relationship! This means that parties are a fantastic way to increase favor points in bulk – you could increase the favor point of 10 different Portians at a time, if you serve their favorite dishes.
Parties will be one of the most efficient ways to earn the favor points between yourself and your fellow Portians. In order to preserve game balance, we’re limiting the amount of times you can host a party to two. You’ll also need to be aware that the townsfolk you invite won’t necessarily show up after they receive their invitation. Cheeky right!
The higher the favor points you have with an individual, the more likely they are to attend your party.
We’ve been doing some party-based number crunching and discovered that if you invite all possible Portians to your party, you’ll have to spend at least several thousand Gols.
What’s a few thousand Gols between friends, right?
The flying mount
The gifs below can say more about the upcoming flying mount than words ever could.
Keep your eyes to the sky when My Time At Portia leaves Early Access…
