Microsoft has announced the first wave of January Game Pass line-up, kicking off the new year with a selection of new titles for subscribers to check out. Though, if you're a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber playing on Xbox, you're only getting one new game.
]]>Just a few days ago, Pathea Games finally revealed what’s next for the My Time At Portia and My Time at Sandrock series, and of course, the third installment will be another open-world simulation game; My Time at Evershine. The sequel looks to be one of Pathea’s most ambitious projects yet, and once again, it’s requesting the support of its fans via Kickstarter to help it reach and exceed the expectations of both the developer and upcoming players.
]]>2023 was certainly a tumultuous year for the video game industry, for good and for bad. For consumers, it was great! For the industry itself, certainly less so. With record-breaking layoffs across the gaming and tech sectors, strike authorization for video game voice actors approved for American unions, and various companies being hacked: the gaming space has taken some serious blows this year.
]]>My Time at Sandrock has you doing a lot of work; mining, building, keeping the town’s community spirit high. In the middle of all that, you’ll even wind up doing some cleaning. Whether it's your own workshop or the litter occasionally strewn across Sandrock, someone has to keep on top of it!
]]>In My Time at Sandrock, you’ll spend a lot of time gathering resources and building machines to help make your workshop the best there is, and to help rebuild Sandrock. Outside of that, there is room for your character to make a life for themselves by having a family or even pets.
]]>My Time at Sandrock recently left Early Access, and with its launch, it added a new feature for players; the ability to have children. If you’re keen on the idea of having a partner and children running around while you rebuild Sandrock, then you’ll no doubt be wondering how you can grow your family.
]]>As you get to work restoring the town to its former glory in My Time at Sandrock, you’ll find yourself completing plenty of errands for and ultimately befriending the locals. There might even be a local that catches your eye, and if that’s the case, you can romance them.
]]>Finding My Time at Sandrock Agate locations is one of the most important things you can do once you reach the mid-game or so. Agate is an essential part of upgrading some tools and most weapons so you get more out of them. Refined tools usually reward you with better or more interesting stats, so it’s worth the bother – and money – to collect Agate and use it in refinements.
]]>My Time at Sandrock Spinel is an important resource used in crafting some key station upgrades and even a couple of powerful weapons. Spinel is a pretty common material compared to aluminum scrap and something like rutabaga. You'll need some upgraded quarrying tools before you can get your hands on it, though.
]]>Finding My Time at Sandrock rutabaga locations is a bit trickier than tracking down the farm-sim’s other crops and resources. The rare veggie only grows in two places that we’ve found so far, and the environment gives you no indication where to look. You’ll need rutabaga for one of Sandrock’s later quests, but the dish you cook up from it also goes over pretty well with a few of your friends and neighors.
]]>My Time at Sandrock does plenty to build upon Pathea Games’ spiritual predecessor, My Time at Portia, and one such example of this is introducing a multiplayer co-op mode to the game. My Time at Sandrock’s multiplayer mode was initially set to have its own campaign with a more condensed storyline, according to a developer Q&A shared on Reddit.
]]>In My Time at Sandrock, you restore a dry, desert town to its former glory for the most part, but it doesn’t have to be all about working. As you spend time getting to know the townsfolk and completing errands for them, you might find yourself romancing a few of them.
]]>In a bid to return My Time at Sandrock back to its former glory and rescue it from financial ruin, you’ll be spending most of your days mining, farming, and building. But who’s to say that you can’t enjoy yourself and seek companionship while you’re at it?
]]>How to get a horse in My Time at Sandrock is a two-part process. You can get a temporary horse shortly after arriving in Sandrock, but if you want a horsey friend to call your own, you’ll need to wait a little while. Like in most farm-sims, having a horse makes life significantly more convenient whether they’re yours or rented, since they get you around faster.
]]>My Time at Sandrock's Fightin’ ‘Round the World quest sends you around the wastelands to find Bogan Jack and rough him up a little. Then you have to do it again. And again. It’s a quirky quest that takes time to finish, as Jack powers up quite a bit between each fight, but the end result – a shiny new defense accessory – is worth the trouble.
]]>Limestone in My Time at Sandrock is just out of reach for a while. You can find it in one of the large areas across from your home, but a shattered bridge means you can’t get there. While you don’t need limestone bricks for most of your crafting stations and items, limestone bricks do end up being a common item you need for commissions, which means they’re an easy way to get money and improve your workshop’s standing.
]]>Getting aluminum scrap in My Time at Sandrock takes a bit of extra effort early in the game. While the location is on the edge of a dangerous valley, you can actually reach the aluminum scrap deposits almost as soon as you start the game. You just can’t harvest them.
]]>My Time at Sandrock is a farming life simulator that doesn’t see you doing too much farming. In fact, much of your time in Sandrock will be spent mining, building new machines, and probably romancing the townsfolk. To get by and progress, you’ll need plenty of resources in abundance.
]]>In My Time at Sandrock, you’ll spend much of your time mining for resources and gathering them. Amidst all this, you’ll also be helping out the townsfolk in an attempt to rebuild Sandrock back to its former glory, while decorating and expanding your own workshop. It’s a lot of work for one builder to be cracking on with, really.
]]>In My Time at Sandrock, there are a lot of materials and resources you’ll be spendings lots of time searching for, gathering, and ultimately crafting into other, more useful items or resources. One example of these is Coarse Leather, which can be a little tricky to come by when you’re not sure where to acquire it.
]]>My Time at Sandrock is a charming simulation game that sees you playing the role of builder, farmer, and general do-gooder across the town of Sandrock. As you help the community thrive, the town will flourish, but this does require quite the grind.
]]>As you get used to life as a builder in My Time at Sandrock, you’ll find that you spend much of your time gathering resources, crafting machines, and completing the demands of other townsfolk. It’s hard work, and sooner or later, you’ll find that tasks become harder and higher in level.
]]>You’ll be making the most of life as a builder in My Time at Sandrock, which will see you mining, farming, and crafting as you strive to be the best builder that Sandrock has ever seen. You’ll also be spending time getting to know the locals, and might even forge a romance or two with them.
]]>My Time at Sandrock is a game that requires a lot of grinding if you want your workshop to be as good as it can be. You’ll be tasked with building multiple machines, that’ll then help you build other machines and items so that you can fulfill all of the town's needs. One resource you’ll need plenty of is Marble.
]]>In My Time at Sandrock, you’ll have lots of machines for recycling and creating resources. A lot of work, however, will be done via your Worktable, which you’ll need to upgrade if you want to build bigger and better resources and machines. That said, upgrading your Worktable into an Intermediate Worktable isn’t the most straight-forward of feats, and you’ll need plenty of materials.
]]>My Time at Sandrock is a spiritual successor to 2018’s My Time at Portia – and it's a successor in just about every way, too. This time around, you’ll be the brand-new builder in the desert town of Sandrock, alongside friendly competition, Mi-an. You’ll be striving to not only have the best workshop, but to breathe life into this dwindling community on the brink of financial ruin. Which may cut a bit close to home.
]]>Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase aired last night, showing off more than a dozen interesting, indie titles that’ll be coming to the Nintendo Switch during 2023. The clue is in the name when it comes to what was on display; indie titles.
