Due to some issues regarding the ownership of the name Sandrock, we are now happy to announce that My Time at Sandrock, will from now on be called “My Time at Rocksand.”

Not long ago we discovered that the name Sandrock is already owned and copyrighted in the EU. We have asked the owner of the name for the rights to use it, but we have failed to reach an agreement. Since we can no longer use Sandrock in the EU, we have decided to change the name worldwide to be consistent and to avoid confusion.

The dispute started a few weeks ago with the Italian artist Alessandro Ulcigrai, also known as “Sandrock” who laid claim to the name back in 2006. He said the name is essential to his brand identity and that he has put a lot of work and effort into his art.

You can see some of his work in this LINK or THIS LINK

As game designers we fully understand the value of protecting your art and we respect Alessandro’s decision to keep the name.

We hope that you, our beloved players will respect this as well and we are looking forward to you all joining together with our upcoming game “My Time at Rocksand.”

The time has finally come for the Portia’s sequel, My Time at Sandrock livestream.
It will be hosted on March 28, 2021, 5 pm PST (GMT-7) / March 28, 2 am CET (GMT+1) / March 28, 8 am Beijing time (GMT+8).

The stream will showcase the upgraded combat system of My Time at Sandrock, including experimental features that aren’t even in the beta yet. The stream will once again be hosted on Youtube, Twitch, and Steam.

Sandrock now features multiple new weapon options, including more ranged weapon types. We have also implemented an exciting more hands-on aiming mechanic for guns, which is a bit different from the automatic aiming system featured in Portia.

We wanted to give you an update on the development of our next game, My Time At Sandrock.

We’re currently going through the process of getting the game’s rating certified so that we can publish the game online. As soon as we have this locked in, we’ll be able to share more information on when we expect to release My Time At Sandrock into Early Access on Steam!

In the meantime, our team are continuing to develop and polish the game so that we can give you all the best experience when we launch! We’re pouring a lot of love and creativity into this game and we cannot wait for you to play it!


The NDA will remain in effect until further notice, and when certification is obtained, we will announce the date for Early Access. By then we will also begin to lift the NDA allowing Beta players exclusive rights to start live-streaming and sharing screenshots and other content for at least one month before Early Access begins.

By the time Sandrock launches into Early Access, it will have more content, features, optimization, and overall fun than the Beta did, which makes for a better experience for everyone! It’ll be worth the wait. The next build is coming at the end of March, so there’s that to look forward to.

Thanks for your patience!

Brand New Combat System in Sandrock
Once upon a time in Portia, there was a very simple combat system... -- Too simple, in fact! We wanted the combat system to be simple and casual; punishing gameplay mechanics didn't really feel right in Portia. The simple hit and dodge system we ended up with was fine and low pressure, but by the end of a long playthrough, pretty much every player was fed up with it. So, we're trying some new things to freshen up the combat in My Time at Sandrock, without giving up on our original philosophy of casual fun.


The difference players will notice first, of course, is the visual upgrade to the attacks! All of the moves in Sandrock will be fancy and fun to see executed. The main mechanical difference we've added to Sandrock is a "break" system, where players will be able to "break" an enemy's defense, then go all out and wail on 'em! Each enemy will have a level of "toughness" that can be broken through, and certain enemies will be easier to "break" with certain weapons or effects (more on this later). When an enemy's "toughness" reaches 0, an explosive visual signifier will play, their defense will be broken, and then the enemies will flinch at your attacks! We think this will make combat a bit more thoughtful and fun without weighing people down, and also create a more satisfying rhythm of gameplay for outdoor exploration and dungeon crawling.





Many players complained that combat in Portia is monotonous due to the binary toolkit: you can either attack or roll, and that's about it. The only feature we had that gave any room for creativity was limiting the number of rolls a player could make with the stamina bar. Beyond improving things with the 'break' system, we've brought in some experienced combat designers and programmers to help out our team and bring more creativity to combat; they began working on the Sandrock combat system in March 2019 and they've been hard at work since!
Let's look at some early-stage examples from My Time at Sandrock. First, we've made attacking and dodging more fluid:



Next, here's an example of creative solutions we're adding into combat:
This charming fellow here has a number of hammer smashing attacks he wants to flatten you with, but he's a bit clumsy, so you can bait him into hitting electric panels, which will shock him and break his guard! Little things like this we think will give combat more flavor while still keeping it casual.



More on the "toughness" and "break" systems we mentioned before: each piece of equipment will have lots of randomized attributes that can be influenced by the quality of materials you use to make them. In addition to having different feels to them, different weapons will 'break' certain enemies more quickly and can even gain additional 'break' effectiveness from other pieces of equipment, rewarding players who build better equipment with the ability to cut through enemies' defenses like butter!


Other things we're trying out include a new skill tree, unique weapon attacks, and attributes that increase as you spend more time using a tool or weapon...
If this is all starting to sound complicated, don't worry! Keeping things casual is still a core aspect of our design; as we add all this new stuff, we won't punish players harshly for opting out. Mastery of the new combat systems will just allow for deeper dungeon exploration: areas that are not necessary to complete the main story. Those who do dare to adventure deeper may stumble upon some very fine treasures however...
That's all for now! As we move onward and into the beta, we look forward to testing out our new mechanics with you and getting feedback from our players! We hope to add more skills, more fun ways to defeat enemies, new 'break' effects, weapon switch combos... sky's the limit! See you there, Sandrockers!

Features

In addition to our six characters, two stadiums and mission system featured during the game’s open alpha earlier this year, the preseason will include:

• New challenger Samba: This guy is the first Chimera on the field and being half tiger, he is someone to watch out for. He is now one of the strongest characters in the game and his ultimate which gives him a massive speed boost, makes him hard to catch up with.



• 2 Arcade modes: Dodgeball & Mayhem
These to modes will be unlocked when you reach lvl 6 and will rotate every 24 hours, meaning one mode will be available to enjoy every day.

• Dodgeball challenges you to avoid getting hit by two balls while making sure those balls don’t rest on your side of the field for more than 12 seconds.

• Mayhem is a super-powered version of Standard mode, as abilities charge three times faster and players take control of random characters each time a goal is scored.




• New lobby with cool new UI and animated backgrounds.

• In-game background music has finally been added and with new sound effects for all characters, the game should definitely be experienced with the volume turned up.

• a comprehensive collection of skins (which includes accessories and player icons),

• Season pass with 60 levels. You will now be able to level up this all new season pass by completing daily and weekly challenges and earn special rewards.
