Enjoying the My Time series? We’re bringing you some behind the scenes development, let's check it out now. Annnd don’t forget, Portia is on sale at 66% off on Steam during the Steam Summer Sale!

Portia Console Update
As for the Portia Console build, we’ve finished porting in all the late game NPC side quests for to the consoles, including Merlin, Tody, Higgins, Huss & Tuss, and more…


This upcoming major update will also include many bug and crash fixes, optimization, and more, bringing consoles up to date with the PC version. We’re still aiming to release it this asap and will keep our players informed when we have news to share!

-Sandrock Voiceacting
We signed a professional voice acting company to do voiceovers for Sandrock. Voiceovers will be done all at once after the script is finished (probably at the end of this year), which will help keep voiceovers consistent and avoid having lines be intermittently unvoiced.

-Indoors decorating
We've updated interiors for the Sandrock City Hall and Commerce Guild. More indoor decorations are in the works. Soon, you’ll find that your favorite NPCs' houses will have their own personal touches.



-Present 24 hours day to night changing
Let's enjoy the most peaceful time from sunrise to sunset and watch the incredible day and night views, thanks to our new lighting system in Sandrock.

Howdy, Builders!

Welcome to our new monthly dev update! Here we will try to cover what is new and what we have been working on recently.

Voiceover progress
We’re currently working with voice actors to finish voiceovers in Portia. The voice actors are working hard right now to help us deliver the voices, hopefully within the next few weeks. Afterward, we will first update the PC version and see how it feels. Hope you like it!


Our partner T17 reviewed the latest build (MS5 build) and is preparing the submission for testing by PS, XBOX, and Switch. We can't wait for the MS6 to start! Find more Portia console porting progress HERE and HERE!
Below is the new content merged from the PC version. Console players will be able to change facial features soon!



Our publishing partner Pixmain announced earlier this month, that they are getting ready to bring Portia mobile to Android and IOS. They ran a closed beta for IOS beta last month and the game performed very well. So hopefully we will all be able to play Portia on mobile very soon


We are still waiting for the certificates required before we can launch the game into EA. At the time we are not aware of when exactly this can be issued, but we hope the sooner the better.

Controller support
You may soon experience Sandrock with controllers, because we’ve begun working on adding controller support to core functions such as machine crafting, material recycling, combating, commission system, stores, and more are on the way!


New Sandsleding mini-game details
Sandsledding is a Sandrock special boardsport, and we’re working on decorating the racing track to make it more entertaining.


A set of new furniture
Furniture is a key element to making your workshop suitable for living with your favorite spouse from Sandrock. Here you can see a few designs we have been working on and we are trying to make them customizable, so you can choose the style of furniture that best fits into the environment of your workshop.




More plants
The primary farming function added into the last beta version in mid-April now has more seeds and plants.
Below you can see how we come up with the design for our Sandrock flora.

Rhino Horn

Rose Willow

Coffee tea tree


Black screen transitions removed
For a smoother experience of the story, we have removed several black screen transitions. And instead we have optimized the camera angles to follow the transitions, for a more natural feeling of the gameplay.

Build your workshop, run your own farm, explore the world and battle awesome monsters! A bustling community is waiting for you in Portia!

One of Portia and Sandrock’s best engineers, Mint, is waiting for you to help improve the beautiful oceanside port town. He is trying to make the town better, but word of your building prowess and productivity has reached him and he trusts your work.

Ah, almost forgot to mention it, but Mint likes sleeping, so he takes frequent naps. You may need to...wait for a while until he wakes up… But after he’s up again, he’s happy for a chat or a meal at the Round Table.

Mint’s engineering skills are high in demand, leading him to travel to different Free Cities in the Alliance. Meet him in My Time at Sandrock as well, and If you get closer to him, who knows what might happen…?

Today is a day where awareness for our planet’s health and ecosystems is raised.



In the My Time universe, the world had already been brought to ruin and much culture and technological advancement were lost. Thanks to Peach using a powerful machine to dispel the deep clouds and bringing back the sun, the world has restored itself to a point where nature has overtaken pre-Calamity cities, and civilization can carefully rebuild. Now, those in the small city-state of Sandrock must attempt to not only survive, but thrive in the hot Eufaula Desert, where water is at a premium and sandstorms threaten to destroy the town.

This is not unlike the struggles of some civilizations throughout real-world history. In the fall of 2020, we undertook a research trip to the Gobi Desert to get to the nitty-gritty of what life in the desert is like. We dug around and spoke with the locals, learning about the spreading of the deserts and how this process is threatening the surrounding ecosystems and nearby communities. We also learned that through innovation and hard work the deserts they can be cultivated to become fertile land once again. But as with life in Sandrock, this cannot happen without water.

Water. Necessary for life and necessary for keeping your machines cool. Without it, crops wither away and your workshop machines cannot function. However, less than 1% of the real world’s water is fresh water and Sandrock has severely limited access to fresh water, meaning that water conservation in both worlds is key to thriving.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084600/_/?utm_source=China&utm_medium=test&utm_campaign=other

Through Sandrock, we want to spread awareness of the importance of saving water. Limiting water usage, such as turning the faucet off while washing your hands, taking shorter showers, growing native, plants and lawns with lower water consumption and eating less meat, can go a long way towards conserving water in real life, which means communities will have more water for when and where it’s truly needed.

We are happy to share with you the Sandrock resource management tutorial in our next livestreaming on
Also, we’re having another giveaway. Follow us on Instagram and comment “save water” on this post and you might become a lucky winner of 2x steam gift cards!

We only have one earth, so let’s make a difference together!

Don't forget to Wishlist Sandrock to have "Kids Grow up to at least the primary school age“

Howdy Howdy Hey Rocksanders and Sandrockers,

We are happy to announce that we got the name Sandrock back!

Or to put it differently, we never actually lost the name, and the name change we made yesterday was an April fools’ prank.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and that it was not too obvious.

Have a great weekend everyone and don’t forget to wishlist!

We are only 40k wishlists away from having our Kids Grow Up to at least the primary school age!

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.”
