My Time at Sandrock News

My Time at Evershine shows off a new, mature art-style and DIY features as Kickstarter finally goes live

Just a few days ago, Pathea Games finally revealed what’s next for the My Time At Portia and My Time at Sandrock series, and of course, the third installment will be another open-world simulation game; My Time at Evershine. The sequel looks to be one of Pathea’s most ambitious projects yet, and once again, it’s requesting the support of its fans via Kickstarter to help it reach and exceed the expectations of both the developer and upcoming players.

When it comes to funding its projects, Pathea Games shared that it has a seven to eight million dollar budget for the game (with My Time at Sandrock previously having a $12 million dollar budget altogether, including Kickstarter pledges); the Kickstarter project allows the developer to accrue additional funds from fans who wish to support the game, allowing it to add more and more features to the game.

In a post on Reddit, Pathea Games wrote: “Through developing My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock, we've learned a lot and identified areas for improvement. As we're creating the third game, we're using all that experience to enhance not just the content but the overall quality of the game.

New My Time Game to Be Announced Soon!

Howdy Builders!

Attention please! The third game in the My Time series, My Time at Evershine, will soon have a Kickstarter campaign launching later this month! We can't wait for you to see what we’ve been working on, and we'll be announcing the game officially very soon. We’d love for you to follow our pre-launch page by clicking the link below. This way, you'll be the first to know when we go live. And don't worry, we’ll remind you when the time comes.





[h2]Why Kickstarter, Again? [/h2]
Indie game development comes with its challenges. My Time at Sandrock had a budget of nearly $12 million, allowing us to create all the fine details and deep narrative that players love, but it really stretched our studio's resources. Due to Sandrock being well received, the team's preparing a similar budget for this new project, because we want to reach and exceed Sandrock. But our resources are still somewhat limited, so, every bit of extra support will help, especially since it allows us to make more decisions earlier in the developement cycle instead of down the line when we're sure we have the budget for things players want. We're aiming for major upgrades in graphics, animation, and gameplay, as well as more consistent product quality across all platforms. We want make sure the next My Time game lives up to your expectations after Sandrock, and for that, any help would be appreciated.

Kickstarter has also always helped us congregate with a group of passionate fans that want to interact with the us throughout development to make sure we deliver a great end experience to a greater audience. The My Time series wouldn't be where it's at without you. We love and appreciate you!

Through developing My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock, we've learned a lot and identified areas for improvement. As we're creating the third game, we're using all that experience to enhance not just the content but the overall quality of the game. We're confident that My Time at Evershine will be a game you'll love, and we hope you'll continue to support us on this journey.

Dev. Log: What's Happening Recently!

[h3]Howdy Builders![/h3]

We've been pretty busy lately, but we finally find the time to share some exciting updates with you all!

[h3]Sandrock V1.4 Free Update Status[/h3]
Our team is currently deep into QA testing and fine-tuning for the Sandrock V1.4 free update. This update will introduce new romance side quests for nearly all the romanceable characters, including the most wanted ones like Owen!
Due to the complex logic involved in these quests, testing is taking a bit longer than expected, so we're aiming to release the update later this year. We appreciate your patience and support!

[h3]Sandrock Online Coming to Switch and PlayStation (PS)[/h3]
We're aiming for a late summer release and are working hard to stay on track. This month, we're focused on making the Sandrock Online available on Switch and PlayStation. The approval process for these platforms is quite strict and requires several rounds of submissions and revisions.

We’ve already passed approval for the EU and NA regions on Switch, but Asia and Japan are still under review. As for PlayStation, we've already gone through several rounds of submissions and revisions and are still waiting for feedback. We're working closely with our publisher to expedite the process and will keep you updated as we make progress!

[h3] PS4 Release Date[/h3]
We finally have a confirmed release date for the PS4 singleplayer version! It will be available on September 12th at 5 PM P.S.T. Thanks so much for your patience and support!

[h3]Exciting News for My Time Fans[/h3]
And last but not least, we’re gearing up for a Kickstarter campaign for the next My Time game! We can’t share too much just yet, but it’s going to be amazing. We’re aiming to launch it later this month, so stay tuned for more details as we continue to expand the world of My Time!
