Roots of Pacha News

As we get closer to the 1.0 release, we continue expanding what’s possible in the Pachan lands. In this devlog, we’ll highlight our recipe book, buffs, animal melodies, and new experiences in The Land.

[h2]Recipes [/h2]
Creativity flows through the kitchen as new flavors begin to appear! The recipe book keeps expanding with new unique and delicious dishes that will be available to you. These dishes include: pineapple chicken, a chilled calamari salad, Baba Ganoush, and many more!



[h2]Player Buffs [/h2]
You’ll be able to equip accessories that grant buffs to your endurance, stamina, speed, and charm. These buffs will also stack with specific dishes that grant you a greater (but temporary) boost to your stats.



[h2]Cozy Melodies [/h2]
Get your flute ready to perform some new tunes! The animals love music and now, each species has its own special song that you can play to befriend them.



[h2]The Land [/h2]
As you settle the land, new decorations and recreational areas will be built as the clan prospers.



[h2]A Month of Love [/h2]

Hello Pachans!

✨We hope you're having a great start to the year.✨

Let’s ring in the New Year, the year of Roots of Pacha, by sharing some of our latest developments. In this Devlog, we’ll focus on new decor and art portraits.

As we mentioned in our previous devlog, our updates leading up to release may seem smaller than usual. We want some of Pacha’s mysteries to be revealed only when it’s time.

[h2]Cozy Beginnings [/h2]
To start the year with some cozy vibes we put some of the winter soundtrack on YouTube for your listening pleasure.



[h2]Home Sweet Home [/h2]
Your home is becoming cozier and cozier. We’ve added more decor to the game so that you can take your customization further and truly make your space unique.

Some of these new decorations include pots and fillers to brighten up your home. You can place these items on furniture around your home.



We’ve also added new rug varieties for you to combine and design your spaces.



Furniture is, of course, one of the most important pieces in any given space. Add a touch of elegance with gilded chairs or keep things rustic with simple wood-carved designs. Some items only become available after completing certain Ideas, such as “The Toolstation” and discovering how to work with obsidian.



[h2]New Expressions [/h2]
We have also continued work on displaying a variety of emotions from our Pachans, specifically by adding new portraits that better convey their current mood.



As always, thank you all for your support. See you in the next devlog as we get closer to the finish line!

You rock!

Hello Pachans! This devlog is quite unique! Are you prepared?

After several months of work, we arrived at the date when Roots of Pacha will go forth into the world.

🥁🥁🥁…..Let the drums roll...… 🥁🥁🥁

[h2]🎉 April 25, 2023 🎉[/h2]

To celebrate this date and the love that’s gone into making this game. We have a brand new trailer exclusive to IGN. We hope you enjoy!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

It’s been a journey filled with learning and a lot of hard work. We couldn’t have made it to this point without you, our awesome community. We’ll use this remaining time to develop the last few features and polish the game to bring you the best experience possible.

You Rock!

Hello Pachans! It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over! As always, a lot has been accomplished in this last month. This time, we’ll be highlighting animals and cooking. 🐺🍝

[h2]A Prophecy [/h2]
Look to the sky (or the smoke signals channel in Discord) on December 5th for a brand new trailer for Roots of Pacha! What makes this particular trailer exciting, however, is it contains the long-awaited release date announcement.

[h2]Animals [/h2]
Animals have been our friends for a while in Roots of Pacha. We care for them and, in return, they share their produce with us. Animal variants have been added to the game, as well as a stats system and breeding mechanics.

We’ve already invited baby mammoths into our homes, and now we’ve added a few new animal species that have us howling. You’ll find these baby beasts in various parts of the world where you’ll work to gain their trust. We hope you’ll have fun discovering what lurks deep within the caves or who may be hiding in the grass.



[h2]Cooking [/h2]
The way to a Pachan’s heart is through their stomach! With this in mind, we’ve added a variety of new and exciting dishes for you to cook up for the clan.



[h2]The Last Month to Win Beta [/h2]
This will be the last month to win access to the Beta by playing our Discord mini-game! In celebration of both the holiday season and our upcoming release date announcement trailer, we are doubling the number of winners this month! So be sure to join our Discord and play the mini-game for a chance to win one last time.

[h2]Future Devlogs [/h2]
As we edge closer to the release, our devlogs have gradually grown shorter. Discovery is an important aspect of the game. With this in mind, we don’t want to spoil too much of the content awaiting you in the final game. To balance being informative and leaving some surprises for you, we’ll do our best to continue keeping you informed without going into too much detail.

Thanks for being on this journey with us. Your support means the world to us. We hope you enjoy the trailer on December 5th and can help us spread the word to your friends, families, and communities. You rock!

[h2]The Demo[/h2]
The demo is up until Nov 14th if you’d like to give it a try. You can play solo or with up to 3 other friends in co-op for the first 8 days (10 if you use code D3M0PLUS2). To read more about the demo (and get more codes) check out our previous post.


[h2]Children & Unions[/h2]


Our clan is expanding! We’re particularly excited about how this part of the game is shaping up. You’ll be able to care for a newborn that grows into a toddler with your special someone. We also laid the groundwork for them to grow up in a post-release update.

Players will also be able to form a union and have children with another player. This was a feature we wanted to make sure was included at release.

[h2]Waterwheel[/h2]
We’re working on a waterwheel so that the clan can harness the power of water to make processing things easier. This idea is something pretty advanced for stone age life, so something that will need a higher “prosperity level.”



[h2]Summary[/h2]
After the day ends, you’ll see what you and the clan have accomplished and how you are prospering. Your “prosperity level” is what will trigger certain events, like the clan’s ability to expand their lands. It’s not just your contributions anymore.

[h2]Backer updates[/h2]
If you're a Kickstarter backer with physical rewards, your items are shipping at the end of the month! Please verify your address by Nov 14th. We won’t be able to accept changes after then.

Thank you for being on this journey with us. We’re looking forward to announcing our 1.0 release date sometime next month.
