| Minor Patch 1.3.0 (4) | 2025-05-08 | Feats Performance improvements (most noticeable on Switch).

| The Roots of Pacha 1.3 Update is out! | 2025-04-22 | We’ve come a long way since first releasing Roots of Pacha almost exactly two years ago. We are so grateful to have such a positive community that has supported us along the way, so thank you! The 1.3 Update is filled with mid to late game content, so there is no need to start over, that is, unless you want to. So! What’s in the 1.3 update, you might ask? Spoilers beware! After you complete the last challenge in the Forest Caves, Inza and Zeda will invite you to their respective lands, kicking off access to the new content. Then, once you complete the main story, centered around the Jungle Pyramid, the new areas will open even more! Mograni M |

| Devlog 56: ⭐ 2 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-04-19 | Hello, lovely Pachans! Things seem to be speeding up around here. There are now only two more devlogs until the 1.3 update drops! For those just joining us, we’ve been counting down devlogs instead of days, as we’d like the press to cover us and help spread the word. So, we have to keep the update release date under wraps for a little while longer. Now, on to today’s devlog! Be aware of spoilers for new end-game content and mini-games! Dice To play dice, you’ll want to chat with Cohh in the Mograni lands. You may have met him at a festival already. Once you play and beat him, you’ll get to play other clan members as well, with a total of 5 pe |
| Devlog 55: ⭐ 3 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-04-17 | Only three more devlogs until the 1.3 Update goes live! 🎉 If you’ve been following along, you know that we need to keep the date a secret a little longer. So, we are counting down devlogs instead. 🥰 On another note. Next week, on April 25th, Roots of Pacha turns 2! It’s been quite a journey, and we’re so glad you could be there with us! The best part of making this game is reading supportive comments from players who are enjoying what we created. It is an honor to bring joy to so many people, especially when the world feels dark at times. Thank you for being a light in our days as well. To celebrate Roots of Pacha turning 2, we’re doing an |
| Devlog 54: ⭐ 4 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-04-14 | Welcome back for another Pachan Prophecy! There are only four more devlogs until the 1.3 update releases! Today, we’ll focus on caves! The Forest caves of Roots of Pacha that you may have already explored held many secrets. Today, we’ll share a bit about the new caves coming in the 1.3 update, where a few new secrets await. We will do our best to tell you about the caves in the upcoming 1.3 update without divulging too much about what you will find inside. That said! Spoilers are ahead if you choose to dig deeper into the caves. Sun and Moon Caves Once you complete the Forest caves, Inza and Zeda will invite you to the new regions we have men |
| Devlog 53: ⭐ 5 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-04-10 | There are only five more devlogs until the 1.3 update goes live! As we mentioned in our previous devlogs, we’ve been counting down devlogs as we wait for our big release date reveal. Developing “Ideas” is one of the core aspects of Roots of Pacha. It’s through these ideas that we see life change. It's hard not to get inspired when looking back on how these now common things revolutionized the world at the time. In the game so far, these Ideas have helped us water crops and process food. In the 1.3 update, we’ll have five more Ideas for you to develop! If you choose to keep reading, the following contains spoilers for these Ideas. So, if you w |
| Devlog 52: ⭐ 6 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-04-03 | We’re back with another Pachan Prophecy! We only have six more devlogs until the 1.3 release! As we mentioned in the previous devlog, we need to keep the release date a secret for a little longer, but we wanted to create a way to let you know that it IS getting closer. Now, on to the devlog! After tending the fields, it's nice to end your day in a cozy, decorated hut. And we absolutely love how creative people have gotten with the decorations so far! You all are amazing! Once you complete the caves and open the new areas, in the 1.3 Update, there will be a number of new decorations for you to discover. Some you can trade for, while others the |
| Devlog 51: ⭐ 7 Devlogs Until the 1.3 Update | 2025-03-28 | Hello again! We’re back with another Pachan prophecy about the 1.3 update! We noticed some comments about waiting to start the game or looking forward to starting over. So we wanted to clear something up. All the new content is mid-game or end-game. It becomes available only after you finish the caves, with even more unlocking after you finish the main story (aka the pyramid). So you won’t be missing anything. Even if you’ve finished both of those, it will still make sense. 💖 As you can imagine, this update is a big deal for us, and we would very much like the press to cover us. Which means we need to keep the release date secret for a littl |
