https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084600/My_Time_at_Sandrock/

Wishlist our upcoming sequel to stay up to speed with all things Sandrock and even unlock more features for the final version!

Thanks everyone, we'll catch you next time!

The mobile version offers the same story and content as the PC version, with some optimizations for certain functions to make it easier to craft things on the Assembly Station and travel around the map on touchscreens. We heard a lot of positive feedback on these changes during the iOS beta test, so we’re excited for everyone to try them out!

Grab it on the App Store and Google Play at a discounted launch price for the first week now and be one of the first Builders in portable Portia! With over 200,000 pre-registrations so far and a fun fan-made furniture contest finished, many brand-new items have already been added in-game for your enjoyment, wherever you are! Enjoy!


Curious about how bringing Portia to mobile was able to happen? Check out this interview with our vice president and the porting team's leader on TouchArcade, with the full video interview on our porting team's Youtube channel!

Thanks for playing!

Mobile Portia? Yes! We've launched the in-house ported iOS and Android versions! You’ll be able to carry your Portia adventures with you in your pocket! In addition to unique optimizations and the ability to save anytime, the mobile port includes new features and other fun items, some of which were designed by fans in contests!

As for existing versions, we’re elated that the console versions will soon be updated to match PC versions in content, including NPC content, the ability to change your character’s look after creation, and the fun DLC outfits! Bugfixes and optimizations will also arrive in this highly anticipated update; the (frankly massive) change-list will be posted after the update goes live. The build is in the submission process to platform holders.

And lest the PC version be forgotten: new things will be coming to the PC version as well, and not just the huge amount of new voiced lines we mentioned before! We’ll have a changelist soon! We’re also hoping to bring some of the optimization from the mobile version to the PC version, so that less capable computers can run the game.

We’re also very proud to say that the second My Time game, My Time at Sandrock, received no less than five awards at the ChinaJoy-Game Connection INDIE GAME Development Awards last week. We’re doing our best to continue making the next game a more than worthy sequel to Portia.

Not to get too sappy, but an honest thank you for your support for this little post-apocalyptic world of ours over the past four years, from the Portia Kickstarter campaign in 2017 to the realization of the second game now. It’s been difficult at times, yes, but it’s been a fulfilling journey with all of you at our side, helping us grow in so many ways. We now have a beautiful world and a delightful community, each of which will evolve with the addition of Sandrock to what is now a series: the My Time series. We’re humbled and thankful by the support we’ve received, and we’ll use the criticism and stumbles along the way as learning experiences to make Sandrock (and beyond!) into better, more fun experiences.

Once again: thank you!

Yes Portia Updates! It's about Portia!!!

Also, we'll have an AMA to answer your questions about MyTime series, Come and join us!

The 2nd AMA is scheduled on Aug. 5th at 7 pm PDT in the Portia sub-reddit! Come and ask us anything about Sandrock and Portia, We'll post the AMA thread on Thursday and let you drop your questions more than 12 hours before it starts.

Thank you for the overwhelming support for the My Time series! We surpassed 100,000 downloads for Sandrock Story Demo a few weeks ago! Originally, the demo was supposed to be only available for the Steam Next Fest, but due to a lot more demand than we expected after the fact, we’re now putting it back up for download from July 29, 2021 to be included in the F5 Games Festival! The demo’s now available on the My Time at Sandrock Steam page.

Apologies that the demo cuts a little bit into the exclusive content you can share. But the demo is just the tip of the iceberg. We’re still waiting on ratings certification, so please don’t share beta-exclusive content yet, as the NDA is still in effect. That said, soon, we’ll give you more info and an update with lots of new content: the first batch of relationship and romance content, along with raising pets, upgrading your machines, and more!

Summer is here, but we hope you all have a ‘cool’ summer! Check out “cool things” we're working on nowadays.

Console Portia

Progress update!

Have you seen Dr. Xu in this outfit before? This is his Wandering Heart outfit from the NPC Attire Package DLC which contains eight alternate outfits, one each for eight of the most popular NPCs. Once you obtain the DLC, you can toggle these NPCs' outfits in the relationship menu and then they will change their outfit the next day. ⁠This DLC and other previously PC-exclusive DLCs, including the Player Attire DLC that has eight matching outfits for your character to mix and match, were implemented into the upcoming console build to expand your outfit options!

The console builds are almost complete and ready for submission to the platforms in the next couple of weeks, we’ll keep you updated!

More about 400K wishlist goal
We reached 340k wishlists a few days ago and are very confident that we’ll reach the 400K wishlist goal before Early Access releases! Please keep sharing the news about the game and encouraging others to wishlist Sandrock on Steam so we can get there soon and start working towards the 500k goal!

The 400k reward will introduce two completely new romanceable characters that have not been designed yet. One is a male writer from Atara who became interested in Sandrock after that event at the end of the demo, and the other is a female childhood friend from Highwind who comes to Sandrock after you. How exciting!

Workshop Assets
"East or west, home is the best."
Have you been planning how to build your workshop/home in this desert town? There’s going to be more ways to customize your home, so here’s some sneak peak!



Seasons in Sandrock
From the colorful flowers and the fresh smell of nature in spring to white crystalline snows in winter, you'll experience four seasons of life in Sandrock and can enjoy each season, phase, and colour of your new Builder life.


Beyond the surroundings’ aesthetic changes, seasons in Sandrock will also impact plants, commissions, relationships, stores’ inventory, and more. 

Plants with Season Changing

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.
