My Time at Evershinehas been smashing its Kickstarter goals left and right, accumulating a whopping 30,000 backers or so and over $2.5 million in funding.

The My Time at EvershineKickstarteronly launched recently, but it’s clear that fans of the upcoming RPG sim’s predecessors,My Time at PortiaandMy Time at Sandrock,were more than ready for it - including myself. While Pathea Games' initial goal was to hit just $200,000, the project has now earned over $2.5 million from eager backers. There are still 27 hours to go on the Kickstarter, too, which means even more funding.

If the community raises over $3 million by the deadline, the game will include an additional core romanceable character and a player-run zoo - a goal I’m personally keeping my fingers crossed for. Backers have already secured a good few fun features via their funding, however, including adorable pets, extensive character customization, visiting NPCs from Portia and Sandrock, new clothes, and more.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
