The publisher of My Time at Portia, Team 17, have released an all-new crafting trailer for the upcoming game.
My Time at Portia is an upcoming sandbox RPG game with farming, crafting, gathering and mining elements. Upon starting the game, players arrive in the charming town of Portia where they seek a fresh start. Upon inheriting your Pa’s run-down workshop, which contains only a Workbench and a Workshop Handbook, the aim is to make your workshop the best around.
Sharing similarities with games such as Yonder and Stardew Valley, the gameplay of My Time at Portia is definitely very crafting-orientated. However, the game also offers players the chance to interact with quirky characters, grow crops and raise animals, and uncover the secrets and mysteries of the post-apocalyptic Portia.
A popular Early Access version is currently available to play on Steam whilst we await the official version and console versions. Whilst an official release date for the game has not yet been announced, the crafting trailer could imply that the wait is almost over!- Oct 28, 2018

You’re welcome.
The developers have said that they released an early access version of Raft due to an overwhelmingly positive response to the game’s prototype.
The aim of the game is to survive at sea as you adventure across a vast and perilous ocean. You can either play by yourself, or with others, due to the game’s online co-op feature.
You start the game by awakening on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean with only a plastic hook to your name. Survive by collecting any debris you come across with your hook, scavenging the reefs below and the islands above, expanding your raft in an attempt to make life easier, and facing whatever dangers the ocean may bring.
Features
● Multiplayer – Survive with friends by using the game’s online co-op.
● Hook – Utilise your trusty hook in order to obtain debris necessary for survival.
● Crafting – Craft survival equipment, weapons, crop plots, plus more!
● Building – Transform your raft from a basic wreckage to a floating masterpiece.
● Researching – Using the research table, discover a plethora of new things to craft.
● Navigating – Navigate your floating home towards exciting new places.
● Diving – Anchor your raft and explore the reefs below, in order to scavenge more resources.
● Fighting – Defend your raft against any threats the ocean may bring.The Early Access version can be purchased for a reasonable £14.99, which going by the game’s reviews, is good value for money. You can buy the game here.
