New features bring fresh energy to the series 

Strengthening the successful mix of My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock, the following are some fun new additions in Evershine. Moreover, it will not have a simple numbered sequel title and will come with a campaign with a clear antagonist.

It is also said that fans can look forward to new art styles that include more realistic environments and animated works that use motion-capturing technology to create characters. The most significant change may be the addition of a cooperative multiplayer mode, which lets four players cooperate in building and governing a flourishing city. 

The governor’s role begins with just a campfire and ends with creating an entire city. It changes life simulation with a leadership role and city-building strategy that players wouldn’t find in other games. 

Crowdfunding for more extensive, better features 

As for the budget for the development, like My Time at Sandrock, the experience will cost approximately $12 million to build.
