Happy Earth Day!
Today is a day where awareness for our planet’s health and ecosystems is raised.
In the My Time universe, the world had already been brought to ruin and much culture and technological advancement were lost. Thanks to Peach using a powerful machine to dispel the deep clouds and bringing back the sun, the world has restored itself to a point where nature has overtaken pre-Calamity cities, and civilization can carefully rebuild. Now, those in the small city-state of Sandrock must attempt to not only survive, but thrive in the hot Eufaula Desert, where water is at a premium and sandstorms threaten to destroy the town.
This is not unlike the struggles of some civilizations throughout real-world history. In the fall of 2020, we undertook a research trip to the Gobi Desert to get to the nitty-gritty of what life in the desert is like. We dug around and spoke with the locals, learning about the spreading of the deserts and how this process is threatening the surrounding ecosystems and nearby communities. We also learned that through innovation and hard work the deserts they can be cultivated to become fertile land once again. But as with life in Sandrock, this cannot happen without water.
Water. Necessary for life and necessary for keeping your machines cool. Without it, crops wither away and your workshop machines cannot function. However, less than 1% of the real world’s water is fresh water and Sandrock has severely limited access to fresh water, meaning that water conservation in both worlds is key to thriving.

Through Sandrock, we want to spread awareness of the importance of saving water. Limiting water usage, such as turning the faucet off while washing your hands, taking shorter showers, growing native, plants and lawns with lower water consumption and eating less meat, can go a long way towards conserving water in real life, which means communities will have more water for when and where it’s truly needed.
