Back in October, Pathea Games announced that it's working on My Time at Sandrock, a sequel to My Time at Portia that's planned to launch on Switch. Now, thanks to fans eagerly anticipating the new release, the team has confirmed that a new set of customisation features will be added to the game, too.
My Time at Sandrock is available to wishlist on Steam as we speak, and as certain wishlist milestones are met, new features are unlocked. The title has now amassed more than 100,000 wishlists, meaning the first of these is now locked in:
- 100k wishlists: We'll add facial make-up into character customization
- 150k wishlists: We'll add a 'furniture customization' function that will allow players to mix and match furniture parts
- 200k wishlists: We'll add a 'multiplayer play/date' function between players
- 250k wishlists: We'll add to the current plans for parenting functions and have kids grow up to at least school age
The new make-up function will let players work on their character's eye shadow, lipstick, and additional cosmetic tweaks, going beyond the customisation offered in My Time at Portia. The game places you in the role of "a fledgeling builder being sent to a wild and rugged townscape on the brink of collapse," and is still on course to launch on Switch in 2022.
Have you played My Time at Portia? Are you excited for this new release heading to Switch next year? Tell us below.

As glitchy as My Time At Portia was on switch its my most played game of 2019. Lol I had a lot of fun and enjoyment with this title and will look forward to the sequel too.
Imagine not implementing basic features into a game, because some people don't want to wishlist a buggy game.
I'm not familiar with how Steam works. Is it common to do kickstarter-like promos to be added to user's wishlists? What is the benefit of it? Can't they just be taken off then without penalty?
i wanted the first, never bought for the amount of glitch, bug and loading time i heard about it and they never completely fixed and for the horrible and unjustified graphic downgrade compared to other version(we have the witcher 3 and doom eternal to show the laziness of this developer), on the fence with this one, or they improve they optimization skill and support or i will leave it just like the first one
@HeyItsFlapjack games that are on a lot of wishlists tend to be favoured on the Steam Store.
So I doubt they would all convert into sales, but it might stop the game getting buried on the store as quick. It's like the Switch eShop with ridiculous discounts - it's more of a visibility/numbers game.
@Kimyonaakuma Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I don't use Steam so I had no idea. Thanks!
This looks like the type of game I could only enjoy with split screen multiplayer but I doubt that would ever be implemented.
@Desa is it still as glitchy as at launch? Or like waaaaaay better now?
@MisterDevil
Still the same honestly. Load times are very long and there are glitches throughout the game, though I haven’t ran into any game breaking ones. It’s not something I would recommend to anyone, but somehow I do find enjoyment out of the experience. Lol
I enjoyed it on Switch but i stopped playing when i had to grind for money. There doesnt seem to be a good way to make money, i can progress the story without making a new workshop and i need to buy more land to do that.
So im totally stuck unless i want to grind for days just for money
the thing that worries me the most is the tier list these people are asking for is — too many dang hopes on getting a lot of money, their 'finale' goal they want to achieve is 5million dollars which are extremely insane especially for a Kickstarter :/ i do not recommend anyone to support them to that point because i get a strong feeling something may happen.
i got no problem with Kickstarter it's just the money amount is where it gives you a red flag. i do hope they actually stick to what they keep feeding people, not screw them over, i can understand them on what happened with the switch port...they told us that it was nintendo doing the pulling not them(which i find suspicious because of them not showing any proof at all just them tweeting it out as a reply to someone asking them :/), so they couldn't update the game at all without them being on okay board with it :/ it's why the game never got updated. however, i hope that changes and nintendo allow them to update their new game onto the system.
because i haven't touched or played the game at all T_T...because of what happened to it....i do got in pc but it's not the same with the switch, lost so much progress...ughhhhhh. what else? oh back to the point i was making on the whole kickstarter goal of theirs being way too darn large - their old goal was around the thousands, so them asking for millions is over the top :/...another thing; i found out the company is in china which we all know the problem they have over there with the 'customer" topic - the problem, if you don't get it is that china only cares, for 'consume' only - just shut up and give them money. that's the alerting issue, that i got with this company, yet at the same time i do believe that they aren't like that from what i can tell..(hopefully) so i am gonna be patient to see if everything goes well, not go over the top to that million goal =s.
@earthinheritor Craft and sell when a commodity price is high is the best way to get money. Its a bit of a pain though when you have only soo much time in a day
@honshu Yeah I was doing that but it was just so damn annoying. The amount of work required and the payoff just didn't align. That's really the only reason I stopped playing
@Desa thanks for the answer and sorry for the late reply. Welp guess have to get it on the PC then... Really wanted to have it for the on-the-go but well rip.
