My Time at Sandrock News

A New Way to Experience Sandrock for Real!

[h3]Howdy, all Sandrockers! [/h3]
Fantastic news to share! Sandrock Multiplayer will be out soon, and with new ENHANCED VR FEATURES!

[h3]Check this video to see how it works, and read on to learn more![/h3]

[h3]What's New?[/h3]
When multiplayer goes live, players can now expect to enjoy certain in-game social interactions (two to be exact) in ANOTHER DIMENSION! The "My Time at Virtual Reality Dimension™!"
For 99% of gameplay, players will simply enjoy the game via PC, unchanged from the normal multiplayer mode. But once you click the option to hug or kiss an NPC or other player, it's time to SUIT UP and enter ANOTHER DIMENSION!

First, look directly at the Pathea VR Headset to get your Face ID scanned, then place four of your fingers on each hand on the fingerprint reader. Give a little blood sample, and then finally, say the activation code, "I love Pathea!" while reaching your hands to the sky! This will activate your Pathea VR Headset for use, and you can safely put it on.

Then SUIT UP in the Pathea VR Bodysuit, which is designed for maximum comfort by these cool mall guys; I'll tell you about them later.
Once you're fully SUITED UP, the game will resume, and you will FEEL the warm embrace of your friends or in-game romanceable candidate as your body suit and goggles both heat up to a maximum of 180 degrees celsius!

As soon as the hug or kiss is over, you must remove the Pathea VR Bodysuit and Pathea VR Headset in order to continue playing the game with a keyboard and mouse again.

Note: Players only have 45 seconds upon clicking "hug" or "kiss" to activate their Pathea VR Bodysuit and Pathea VR Headset. Failing to activate the Bodysuit and Headset will result in the deletion of all files on the local hard drive.

[h3]About the Technology[/h3]
We're very proud to announce a partnership between ourselves and some dudes who hang out at the mall next to our office building who wear trenchcoats and talk about hacking stuff all the time (they seem super legit) as we come out with our very own Pathea VR hardware!

In order to launch the game, a special Pathea brand VR headset* ($799.99) and VR bodysuit ($12,999.99) will be required. Other VR hardware will not be supported.

[h3]Planned VR Features(Q4 2028)[/h3]

[h3]Why VR?[/h3]
It's cool, duh. Immersed in maximum immersiveness, it's the most immersive VR to ever immerse you. We've fine-tuned every piece of the technology to immerse your mind and body. Immersion. You guys like that word, don't you? If we keep using it over and over, will you like us? Will you come to my birthday party? Why won't anyone ever come to any of my birthday parties?

[h3]Critics are raving![/h3]

"A $15,000 purchase to play one game? Count me in!" -Brain surgeons
"How did you get this number? Please stop calling us." -IGM
“VR is the future so this must be good." -Albert Einstein

*If you die in the game while wearing the Pathea VR headset, you die for real.

Knives Out Preview, part II

Howdy Builders,

In this preview, we'll dive deeper into the upcoming update, including NPC side stories, the new dungeon, and new additions to the Workshop.

[h3]New side stories[/h3]
With your Builder getting deeper involved in Sandrock and locals, we learn more about their personal stories.



[h3]New dungeon preview[/h3]
The new dungeon doesn't require combat skills, but it does require observation. "You can observe a lot by watching!"



[h3]Auto assemble station[/h3]
Upgrading your assemble station to create machines automatically and increase your crafting efficiency.



[h3]Mole Mine Order Station[/h3]
The mole order station is ready. This provides Builders with extra ore resources to craft additional items. We believe your workshop can ensure Sandrockers receive orders quickly and efficiently. Let's continue the Mole's side quest and unlock this feature in the next update!



P.S. This update is estimated to come in late March/early April.

The marriage system (basic version) preview will be posted in the part 3, stay tuned with us!
