Howdy, Builders!
Welcome to our new monthly dev update! Here we will try to cover what is new and what we have been working on recently.
Sandrock development
EA launch
We are still waiting for the certificates required before we can launch the game into EA. At the time we are not aware of when exactly this can be issued, but we hope the sooner the better.
Development
Controller support
You may soon experience Sandrock with controllers, because we’ve begun working on adding controller support to core functions such as machine crafting, material recycling, combating, commission system, stores, and more are on the way!
New Sandsleding mini-game details
Sandsledding is a Sandrock special boardsport, and we’re working on decorating the racing track to make it more entertaining.
A set of new furniture
Furniture is a key element to making your workshop suitable for living with your favorite spouse from Sandrock. Here you can see a few designs we have been working on and we are trying to make them customizable, so you can choose the style of furniture that best fits into the environment of your workshop.
Added into the game
More plants
The primary farming function added into the last beta version in mid-April now has more seeds and plants.
Below you can see how we come up with the design for our Sandrock flora.
Rhino Horn
Rose Willow
Coffee tea tree
Black screen transitions removed
For a smoother experience of the story, we have removed several black screen transitions. And instead we have optimized the camera angles to follow the transitions, for a more natural feeling of the gameplay.
Portia PC
Voiceover progress
We’re currently working with voice actors to finish voiceovers in Portia. The voice actors are working hard right now to help us deliver the voices, hopefully within the next few weeks. Afterward, we will first update the PC version and see how it feels. Hope you like it!
Portia Console Progress
Our partner T17 reviewed the latest build (MS5 build) and is preparing the submission for testing by PS, XBOX, and Switch. We can't wait for the MS6 to start! Find more Portia console porting progress HERE and HERE!
Below is the new content merged from the PC version. Console players will be able to change facial features soon!
Portia Mobile
Our publishing partner Pixmain announced earlier this month, that they are getting ready to bring Portia mobile to Android and IOS. They ran a closed beta for IOS beta last month and the game performed very well. So hopefully we will all be able to play Portia on mobile very soon
