You have roamed the primal wilds. Now, it is time for you to settle down and build a village that will stand for generations. Join up with your friends to create a thriving community and develop the technologies that changed the ancient world. Discover crops, befriend animals, become the first farmer, participate in festivals, and find love to grow your legacy.
Discover, gather, and farm vegetables and herbs. Explore the surrounding wilderness to find animals to befriend and domesticate; fish the shallow and deep waters to see what lies in their depths; and mine the darkest caves filled with mysteries and secret powers.
A tight-knit community of people will ensure your village’s survival, each with their own fears and dreams. Develop friendships and overcome hardships together. Grow your village by inviting people from other clans to live with you. Participate in primitive festivals and rituals to Pacha, mother nature, and her elements. And when the time comes, find your true love ❤.
Begin your journey of discovery as you develop the tools and ideas that reshaped the primitive world. Learn to process and preserve food (meat, vegetarian, and vegan options), begin metalworking, create beautiful pottery and art, unlock your clan’s spirituality, and invent new buildings to expand your village any way you want.
The game was developed from scratch with multiplayer support in mind. Live together with friends and share your talents and resources to help the clan evolve. Ride your favorite animals together. Compete in fishing, have fun at festivals, and participate in milestone multiplayer cutscenes.
Customize your character’s appearance with the best cosmetics the stone age has to offer. When you’re done working on your face, work on creating the most amazing farm around. Don’t stop there! Design, place, and decorate your own unique home to return to after a hard day’s work.
We want to thank all of those who were able to play and test the Beta. The warm reception the game has received is beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you for all your continued support.
We can’t wait for you to see all that is being developed and planned for the game’s release. In the meantime, we are excited to have people try out a demo next month.
Along with developing the game, we’ve been working on a demo that’ll be in Steam Next Fest (June 13-20th). Most demos are 30 to 60 mins long, but with all the content we have, that wasn’t enough time to really get a feel for Roots of Pacha, so we are aiming to have a demo that’s about 2 hours long with some tailored features.
Exploration
Exploration is such a big part of the game, so you will be able to discover plants, befriend animals, adventure in the caves, and forage through the forest and the land surrounding the village.
Ideas
“Ideas” are a major mechanic for progression. In the demo, you’ll be able to discover the power of time through the sundial and develop the idea of animal taming. One change for the demo is that you’ll start with the Idea of “animal friendship” already developed, so you’ll be able to use the flute to befriend animals. After progressing your friendship with them, you’ll discover the Idea of animal taming and riding. To allow you to rapidly develop these ideas for the limited demo, you’ll start with some contribution as well.
Fishing
Along with farming, you’ll be able to fish in the waters surrounding The Land Between Two Rivers. You’ll use your handaxe to track fish and strike when the time is right. We hope you enjoy our unique take on fishing.
Processors
There will be plenty of processors and the ideas that accompany them for the final game. For the demo, you’ll be able to complete a contribution quest with Tare to earn a smoker and a fishing quest with Frer to earn a dryer. Processing the fish you catch and some of the plants you find will yield better contributions.
Lore and the World
You’ll be introduced to Pacha’s world by befriending your fellow Pachans, watching a shortened intro cutscene, and experiencing your Rite of Passage Festival. The Rite of Passage is an important event in every Pachan’s life when their totem is revealed. At the festival, you’ll be able to earn a perk along with learning more about your world.
The Caves
Explore the depths of Pacha’s caves and overcome the challenges that await you.
Saves
The demo is only a sample size of the game, but another big part of the game is “playing at your own pace.” To give people the opportunity to try different play styles we’ve decided to allow you to save, start multiple runs, and play in co-op.
We’re working on a Beta that includes improvements for multiplayer, more player customization, an intro to the game, updates to fishing, and improved character schedules.
All “Be-ta Shaman” Kickstarter backers and above should have received their keys. If you can’t find the email you can have the key resent by entering the email you backed the game with here: https://rootsofpacha.com/orders/
Pachans love a good party, and so do we. The Beta was a big milestone in development and the demo is another. To celebrate our very own “Rite of Passage,” we have some cool things planned for the community. So keep an eye out for next month’s devlog and our social media for the details.
You Rock!
