[h3]Howdy builders![/h3]

[h3]Act 3 is finally here and marks the journey towards the main storyline finale! [/h3]
Enjoy the brand new main story content, side quests, new romanceable stories, new areas to explore, and much more!



It has been five months since our last update, and we have been diligently working on this, although the workload has been quite substantial. We hope for your understanding. Below, you will find a comparison between My Time in Sandrock and My Time in Portia. The story expansion from Portia to Sandrock indeed consumed a significant amount of our time, and we want to thank you for your continued support.

Howdy all,

As we approach the Full Release, we've created a super confidential test branch featuring the new main storyline and some side quests. We're searching for testers to join us in rigorously testing the new story and share your overall experience with its progression.

What You Will Test
As a closed beta tester, you'll get newly added content to play, as the main story line. Your primary focus will be on sharing your overall game storyline feedback, identifying bugs, and assisting us in improving the overall user experience.

How to Join
Join our Discord, and leave a comment in this thread, and promise us that you won't share any test details outside of our dedicated sub-channel.

Important Things to Keep in Mind
Please be aware that this new content build may not be as polished or stable as previous updates. We strongly recommend backing up your save files before starting.

If you're eager to dive into the new content, we kindly ask you to adhere to our Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) rules. Any new content you encounter during testing should remain confidential and only be discussed within our designated closed test sub-channel.

What to Prepare
You need to find instructions on how to switch to the particular branch and how to report bugs in the pinned message once you gain access.

What's the Nest
We'll start granting access after the build is ready. The new build is plan to go public for all Early Access players later, and the closed testing phase will automatically end when the build is released to the public. We appreciate your help and look forward to your valuable input!
