Howdy,

We've just released a hotfix for Steam and Epic, version V1.4.0.1. Below are the patch notes:

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where saving and loading after completing the 'I Guess I Cook Now For Some Reason' quest could cause a serious error.
  
• Fixed an issue with Owen's behavior after the 'Battle of the Bands' quest.
  
• Fixed a bug where furniture in the homestead editor could accidentally be placed while being moved.

Howdy Builders,

Time flies! My Time at Sandrock is approaching its first anniversary since the full release. At this special moment, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all the players who have supported us along the way.

Just two days ago, we launched the free V1.4 single-player update, and we hope you're enjoying the new content. Whether you’re dating or hanging out with NPCs, we hope it brings you plenty of fun! As we gear up for the anniversary, we’ve prepared a special gift for everyone—a brand new cowboy outfit! Here’s a sneak peek at the concept art, and we can't wait for you to see the final version when it’s released (Consoles may be slightly delayed due to the review process).

Also, we’re hard at work on the new My Time game, and we’re halfway through the Kickstarter campaign. We have something important want to share with you.

We are at the half way point of the Kickstarter, standing at just over $1.8 million! Full disclosure, internally, we were aiming for somewhere between Sandrock’s $500k and a million. We had no predictions exceeding $1.5 million, that’s why we were so late in getting some of the stretch goals up. Heck, we never expected to fly pass our original goal in 35 minutes. And this is all thanks to you! The My Time fan base really came out in force this time. We will not forget your trust, and will do our best to make My Time at Evershine... shine.

Since we never expected the current result, our planning originally revolved around deciding on some features and upgrades early on, nailing down the number of core romances, getting some extra wiggle room, and getting some exposure with publishers and the media. But after the initial success of this KS, we crunched some numbers and saw that something else became possible: If we can get to $2.5 million, then we’ll have the luxury of not doing Early Access this time (or at least not until we’re very close to final release).

Early Access is a double edged sword, while we’re able to get funding and feedback from players well before the end product, it significantly affects our development schedule in a negative way. Each big update we put out will cost us up to a month of packaging, QA, and optimization time, forcing some development to literally stop for a few weeks as key developers work on the release build. If we don’t do Early Access, we will have 4-5 months of extra development time, allowing for a smoother and more traditional development schedule (which we will share later this year). We’ll still get our essential feedback from the numerous KS beta players. It means less crunch for the team and a more polished product for the players. That’s a win for everybody.

That’s our logic. We want to reach it because it will be tremendously beneficial for the project, so please help us. First, we need your help in spreading the word far and wide. The KS will probably be the only way to play Evershine before final release (if we reach the goal), so for anyone still holding out, please reconsider. Second, we will be releasing the next set of stretch goal options within this week, we'll let you vote again, it's got what you're asking for. And finally, we will open up more tiers for console players.

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.


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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

Thank you all for your incredible support! Can’t wait to share more adventures with you in Sandrock and beyond!

Cheers,
Pathea Games
