V1.3 Free Update and "Monster Whisperer" DLC Date Announced!
Howdy, Builders!
Time flies! This May marks exactly two years since "My Time at Sandrock" debuted on Steam from Early Access. Therefore, in this particularly significant May, we are excited to introduce the new V1.3 content update along with an additional pet DLC — "Monster Whisperer"
The V1.3 update and the DLC will go live on:
May 28 at 9am CET / 3am EDT
Just a heads up: we're still waiting on the final approvals for the DLC on consoles, so the release times might be a bit different depending on the platform. Feel free to check out this [[url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1084600/discussions/0/4333103687425104929/]POST] for the latest updates and details on any changes. While the DLC release times could vary by platform, we're still planning to roll out the V1.3 free update and the Monster Whisperer DLC to our PC gamers on May 28. Plus, the free update is all set to launch across all console platforms on the same day too.
This upcoming V1.3 version and Pet DLC will mostly introduce several new features and gameplay elements involving pets, joking aside, it's almost like we're putting Pokemon in the game!
Let's dive into highlights below:
-New pet training and battle-related content: Expanding the pet system with more interactions, allowing pets and Builders to experience more thrilling stories together. The new DLC will also enable you to capture wild creatures, like the Pensky, to keep as pets. Do you not feel compelled to catch them all!? Sandrock monster catcher gameplay coming soon, keep an eye on the page!

-New gameplay elements: New Sand Buggy mini-game, the introduction of new weapons, unlocking more levels on challenging dungeons, and the addition of cooking to the factory to enhance your adventures.
-UIs and optimizations: Adjusted the factory queue, added a new UI for currency overview, and introduced brightness and contrast settings to enhance exploration and building comfort. Additionally, we've installed an automatic sandstorm wall that activates itself to protect against sandstorms automatically.
We will publish a complete changelist after the release on May 28. Don't worry, this update won't mess with where you're at in the game. But if you want to really get into the whole pet thing as you go through the story, you might wanna think about starting fresh.
We will continue to optimize and expand Sandrock with even more content. We deeply appreciate all players and look forward to hearing your thoughts!

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.
What Our Devs Are Working On
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!
What Builders Are Concerned About
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.
My Time at Sandrock is joining to the Eastern Game Fest!
We are happy to participate in this event alongside other great games, showcasing our game and content to a broader audience. It's an excellent opportunity for more players to learn about My Time at Sandrock. We are also excited to announce that Steam Community Items—badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds—are now available to our community. Badges and trading cards can be obtained through gameplay, just like in Portia, while other backgrounds and items can be found in the Steam Points Store.
If you're new to Sandrock, it's a sandbox simulation RPG set in a sprawling desert landscape. As a Builder, you'll craft, construct, and explore, shaping your life in this unique environment. Along the way, you'll dive into a rich storyline, meet vibrant characters, embark on thrilling adventures, and uncover the town's hidden secrets.
Our team is continuously working on new content, with a new PET gameplay feature and related PET DLC on the way. Stay tuned for more updates!

Announcing My Time at Sandrock Cross-Platform Multiplayer
Howdy Builders,
During the special III-Initiative event, we're thrilled to announce that Sandrock will embrace cross-platform multiplayer this summer!
This means you can enjoy multiplayer fun with your family, friends, or even new acquaintances across different platforms. Whether you're on PC or Consoles, you'll be able to join the same server and room, collaborating to build Sandrock together!
🗓️ Catch up the event: Date: April 10 Time: 10 AM Pacific Time Duration: 45 minutes of pure excitement
We‘re proudly announcing the next 'My Time' adventure. The next big release in the My Time series will be… My "Time"! The first-ever augmented reality massively multiplayer smart watch farming experience!
In collaboration with a distinguished supplier of smart wearable technology, we have formally expanded the 'My Time' series of games to the smartwatch platform.
As soon as you set up your account and calibrate your watch, you’re opted into the biggest town simulator experience on earth… live the life you've always wanted to: as an NPC!
Build Your Profile
That’s right! Build your profile, choose your likes and dislikes, then find other My Time players near you to give gifts to in real life! Note that the rules *must* be followed by all players. If a player gives you a gift you “like,” you must also like and behave more nicely to that person. This is required by the gaming system. Even if they have awful beliefs like all endangered animals deserve what’s coming to them or putting bunny ears on people during photos is somehow peak comedy, etc., for example.
Failure to comply with My Time rules will result in a severe electric shock, the injection of a mild neurotoxin, followed by the deletion of all profile data.
How Does it Work?
Step one: Choose a gift for a fellow My Time player.
Step two: Take a photo of the gift on the My Time Smartwatch App.
Step three: Verify the photo with the My Time Cloud by inputing codes on your 2FA and 3FA accounts (Phone number and My Time Plus, the new streaming service where you can only watch people playing My Time at Portia on their phones with no sound.)
Step four: Verify the photo within ten seconds. (This mechanism is in place to ensure that people actually go out and interact with each other in real life. We feel like in an era that is becoming increasingly distant, the intended face-to-face interactions that make up My Time's core gameplay must not be circumvented.)
Step four point five: (But honestly we would be totally down to just swallow our principles if you buy a "Verification Time Extension Card" for 1 USD x 1% of the gift value. Yeah, if you pay us, you can increase the window to 90 seconds. How does that sound?)
Step five: You're done!
Leaderboard system:
Each month, the players who are the most loved and give the most gifts will be rewarded with special items! Wedding Ring - 80% chance to force another player to marry you on the spot. Heart Knot - 50% chance to force a player to be your boyfriend/girlfriend. Apology Bear - Target player must forgive you, no matter what you've done. No. Matter. What. Goodbye Meatball - Desummon target player from the prime material plane.
“We asked our players what they wanted for the next My Time game, but we didn’t like what they had to say, so we decided to just be like, ‘Nuts to you guys!’ and make an entire game centered around the least popular mechanic in the farm-sim genre: gift spamming.”
-Pathea HQ
Oh yeah, also it’s a watch that tells time but I mean who cares, really. Just check what time it is on your phone, geez.
Now, 'My Time' is under intense development. Please follow our social media or look at your clock to get more updates on 'My Time' and other things in the 'My Time' series.
Exciting News Alert! We're thrilled to announce that Sandrock is joining the @iii_initiative family! Gear up for an unforgettable experience with us. 🚀
🗓️ Mark your calendars: Date: April 10 Time: 10 AM Pacific Time Duration: 45 minutes of pure excitement
Get ready for a rollercoaster of reveals, announcements, and jaw-dropping trailers that will leave you wanting more! 🎮
We've rolled out a hotfix patch to address two issues. We'll continue working on the game. If you encounter any other issues, please let us know at qa@pathea.net ,'Bug Reports' sub-thread on Steam community, or Join our Discord
Fixed the issue where the game would freeze after the Talk Recipes interaction with Owen. Fixed the issue of missing model for the Yakmel Fury Bottom
