DevLog: More About V1.3 Free Update

Howdy Builders,

Today, we want to talk about the upcoming V1.3 update. It's got some cool stuff for pet lovers, focusing on new gameplays to play with them and making your bond with your pets even stronger.

[h2]What Our Devs Are Working On[/h2]

To kick things off, we've made some exciting changes to the pet system. Now, both free NPC pets and paid DLC monster pets get to enjoy the new features (we'll talk about how to get the DLC pets later; for now, let's stick to the basics). The pet system is part of the free update, open to all players, while the DLC gives you more pet options.
When it comes to NPC pets, if you've built a strong enough friendship and hit a certain level of affection, the "Adopt" option shows up. Tap on the interaction bubble, and they're all yours! By the way, there's a special one, X, connected to Dr. Fang that becomes your pet when you meet specific conditions.


And here's some really cool news: in the new version, pets can join you in battle and fight right by your side! They can also tag along when you're progressing stories, gathering resources, or even heading into the desert. In battle, they're your reliable allies, helping you defeat tough enemies.


A pet's combat skills will depend on its level and quality, so leveling them up is key. Pet development is a major highlight of this update. Strengthen your bond, level them up, and you'll have some seriously powerful pets.


You can level them up by feeding them or gaining battle experience. And if you want your pets to stand out, the new pet decoration feature is for you. You can unlock gear and accessories to give them a unique look.


This is just a sneak peek at our V1.3 free update content! There are plenty of surprises and fun coming your way. We hope you enjoy “your time” spent with your pets in Sandrock!


[h2]What Builders Are Concerned About[/h2]
Is there any story content with Owen and other NPCs?
Yes, and the story has mostly been written. We've begun translating some content into other languages with our publisher. However, due to the volume of voice acting and translation work, the V1.3 version won't include Owen's storyline yet. We plan to add new story content in the V1.4 update at a later date, so stay tuned.

In the next dev. log, we'll continue to share more important new content and DLC information.



Your feedback is important to us and all Builders. Singleplayer or Multiplayer and Localization Surveys are eagerly awaiting your thoughts. We hope you can take a moment to fill them out.
