Hi, lovely Pachans! We’re back for another Pachan Prophecy! We hope you had a wonderful holiday. We've rested and recharged, ready to continue work on the 1.3 update for you all 🙂

Today, we’ll explore the two new regions. We don’t think we are giving too much away here, but spoilers may be ahead depending on how “fresh” you want to go into the update.

We’ve already met some characters outside our clan, like Touk, Vallah, and Zeda from the Mograni, the people of the fire-loving northwest of The Land. As well as Krak, Brub, and Inza from the Yakuans, the people of the sea-loving south of The Land. But we’ve never seen where they actually live and come from - until now.

After completing the Forest Caves, Inza and Zeda will invite you to their camps, each asking for a small favor. So, just like other updates in the past, no “new” saves will need to be created to enjoy this content.

Explore the lands of the Mograni and Yakuans by traveling to their camps and visiting their sub-regions. You’ll discover new seeds, animals, their culture, and if you wish, play mini-games such as “Dice” in the Tundra or perform a song on the Turtle Islands. The Mograni and Yakuans have heard about what your clan has accomplished, and each has a new Idea they would like your help with. Then, as you complete more of the main story (if you haven’t already), an additional Idea will arise in each area.


When designing the regions, we wanted them to reflect their more spread-out nature and how that contrasts with the life the Pachans live. For example, the Mograni “follow power,” so their Leader, Zeda, and the clan’s spiritual advisor, Anda, sleep alone in a Cave on a hill. While most of the Mograni prefer to sleep “independently” in tents.

As for the Yakuans, they follow “tradition” but are slightly more community-driven. They have something a little similar to the Pacha Hearth, where people gather. However, unlike the Pachans, they live spread out and rarely interact with one another.

Relatively little is known about our ancient history, which leaves a lot of room for imagination. When we take inspiration from the past for our new regions, we like to imagine what a collective history might look like and how it could be shaped by the cultures of the clans we’re creating.

We hope you’ll enjoy the new regions—we’re so excited to share them with you! In the next Pachan Prophecy, we’ll talk more in detail about the new animals we’re introducing.

Until then, take care, and thank you for being amazing!

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! If you’d like to add your voice to the survey, you can find it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/55Y3RK8 (and our privacy policy HERE[docs.google.com])

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

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!
