Howdy, Sandrockers,

We added a lot of new things into Sandrock!

The key updates we’ve done in the past couple of weeks:

Farming functions

New fish can be caught when in sandfishing

New facial texture optimization

Added the Day of Memories

Annnnnd, an old friend from Portia visits Sandrock, you'll find out by yourselves!ːsteammockingː

For more, please refer the changelist at the bottom.

We've been preparing for the EA launch for a long time, so once the rating certification is issued, we can press the button and boom! Sandrock will then be purchasable and playable on Steam Early Access.

For now, beta players can play the update’s content a bit ahead of time, and we may ask for their feedback on the experience. Their help will be a key part of our development and improve Sandrock to be even better.

However, because of the many changes in this update, existing save files will probably become unusable after the update. Sorry about that!

In other news, we’re preparing another livestream at the end of this month to show the resource management in Sandrock. More details on that later!
