Devlog 45: 😶‍🌫️A mysterious visitor

Welcome to the Roots of Pacha 1.3 Prophecies Series!

In the coming months, we will be focusing on Update 1.3 for Roots of Pacha, which will be our final massive update for our Kickstarter content. We’re incredibly proud of the team’s work on this update so far and can’t wait to see the final results of the team’s combined efforts and creativity once it all comes together!

Some of our future Pachan Prophecies (otherwise known as Devlogs) may include details that you might prefer to discover on your own. While we will try not to give too much away about the story, the Pachan Prophecies will contain more in-depth information. We’ll mark some with “spoiler alert” for those who want to enjoy some details without revealing everything. But you may want to steer clear of our devlogs if you want

First of all, we wanted to thank you for all the support you have given us throughout the years. The amount of love that has been shown for this game is beyond gratifying. That’s why we want to get this update to you as soon as possible, which we expect to be sometime in the spring of 2025.

The 1.3 update will introduce new features and content across all aspects of the game. Today we’d like to focus on a mysterious visitor who will play a role in helping you find all there is to discover in Roots of Pacha.

And before we get into some of the update details, we want to give an extra special thank you to all who have filled out our survey. We never thought we’d get such a massive response, even in our wildest dreams!

[On to the possibly spoiler-y side of things!]

A Mysterious Visitor

Once you complete the main story, you’ll encounter a mysterious figure who introduces you to a new mechanic, bug-catching. This will enable you to retrieve items that will allow you to venture into some new caves.

Inside these caves, you’ll discover new materials and ideas for working with them. But that’s not all. Bug catching opens the door to learning line fishing, where you can use your catch as bait for even more exciting fishing adventures!

There is so much we’d love to include in Roots of Pacha, but the more we add, the longer it will take to reach you. After this patch, we hope to continue adding content if the game continues to sell and allows us to sustain development. As much as Roots of Pacha is near and dear to our hearts, we are starting to dream about what a second Soda Den game could look like.

We can’t wait for you to play the update, but we still have more cooking to do in the game development kitchen. Starting next year, however, we will return to our old cadence of sharing Pachan prophecies, where we’ll dive deeper into the new regions where the Mograni and Yakuans live.

Until then, we wish you a happy holiday and a happy new year!

You Rock The Soda Den Team
