Jump for joy - two brand-new characters will make their appearance in Sandrock as romance candidates thanks to everyone’s support on Steam! 😍



The bachelor, Ernest, is an author from Atara, intrigued by Logan’s tale. The bachelorette, Jane, is a teacher returning home. What stories will they have to share if you get closer to them…?

There’s one final wishlist goal to aim for! If 100k more people wishlist My Time at Sandrock before Early Access starts (hopefully in early 2022!), then all eligible adults in town will become romanceable.

We can’t wait to share more new things coming to Sandrock with everyone. Keep an eye out for the November Dev Update later this week! 💇‍♀️✨

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!
