Today is our last workday in 2017, and here comes the new version (Alpha 3.7) of My Time at Portia.
But before we start our changelist, we would like to thank all of our beloved fans first. My Time at Portia wouldn't have gone so far if there wasn't your support and love. The first free demo of My Time at Portia has been released in the end of June, and after 6 months effort, we've had a great success on the Kickstarter campaign and now we had an Alpha 3.7, which is a more diversified, more optimized version with more features. It is your feedback and your advice that helped us make My Time at Portia better and better.
What's more, we found a reliable partner in Team 17 this year, who together with us makes our community more active and makes our game more well-known by media and influencers. We really appreciate their effort and hope we can together make My Time at Portia a better game and known by more people in the coming new year.
In this version, we've added the farming system which you guys have asked for such a long time. It's kind of balanced at the moment, but not completely. We've also added a break-up feature. So if you're caught cheated in the game, you won't get away with it too easily. And one more thing that needs your attention. If you load your save files from the last Alpha 3.5 version, you'll find your skill tree reset. So congratulations, you get another chance to choose your skill path, yeah~
So, here is the changelist for you to check out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave us comments below.
Have fun in Portia and happy new year guys.
