Hope you have a Happy Lunar New Year.

Get in gear to start crafting and exploring, for Beta Access is now upon us! Backers of the $30 Steam Beta Access Pack and up will receive their Steam key(s) via email before Beta begins. These Steam keys allow you to add My Time at Sandrock to your Steam library so that you can install the game and begin playing. Check out the How to Activate a Product on Steam guide if you don’t know how!

The game currently includes about 10+ hours of gameplay and will keep evolving as we progress in development, so remember to allow Steam to auto-update the game so that you always have the newest content and bugfixes available! Your feedback during this period is invaluable towards improving the game and making it more stable, so make your voice heard! Please send bug reports to us via sandrock@pathea.net, the Report a Problem subforum on Steam, or our bug report Discord channel!

Note that the Beta version is not the final product and glitches may occur. This is actually the most obvious advantage of beta testing: by creating a “real-world” environment for testing, underlying bugs resulting from past changes can be detected and fixed. Essentially, the beta test will be a breakthrough in the development of Sandrock and one of the keys to its success.

Please be aware that the beta version will often have changes, updates and improvements, which may destroy your saves. You perhaps have to restart the game, we know that is frustrating, and we are sorry about it. We’ll try our best to keep the save files as stable as possible.

Our team will be very grateful to you for any feedback, both negative and positive, because we want to make our players’ experience as simple, understandable, and enjoyable as possible. We are confident we can pinpoint the bugs that might affect Sandrock with your help.

Beta Access is purely for Beta tier Kickstarter backers. The Kickstarter campaign is over and we will NOT sell any Beta keys.

Beta Access will last for about three months, after which Early Access will begin estimated in Spring 2021. If you played during Beta Access, then your game will seamlessly be updated to Early Access once it becomes available. Early Access will be open to the public to provide feedback to improve Sandrock before the final release estimated in Spring 2022. We will publish another announcement when Early Access launches.

If you missed the Kickstarter, wishlist the game on Steam now! Early Access will be your first chance to join us on our development journey before the full PC and console release in Spring 2022!
