We have so many exciting things in the works, such as being included in the upcoming Save and Sound event on September 11 at 11 am PDT. To celebrate, we put together a behind-the-scenes look into the music of Roots of Pacha, along with a short performance. We’re so excited to be alongside so many excellent games! We hope you enjoy the show. [previewyoutube=W4xEiA1DhHI;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Consoles & Update 1.1[/h2] Work on consoles has been going well and is on track to be released later this year! [img]https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/roots-of-pacha-production.appspot.com/o/devlogs%2F39%2Fswitch-rop.jpg?alt=media[/img] While working on consoles, we discovered how much attention they would need, so we adjusted the list of features for update 1.1. This update will launch for all platforms, including Steam, on the day of the consoles’ release. The current list of features to be included in 1.1 is: [list] [*] Voda romanceable [*] New Friendship cutscenes with non-romanceable characters (Ron/Tetih, Brah/Vor, Maeri/Vuak, Igrork, Gin, Zelk) [*] NPC gifts given by smoke signals [*] Ability to Break a Union and corresponding schedules and dialogues [*] New Savanna animal unlocked in Year 2 [*] Japanese support [*] Performance optimizations [*] Smaller QoL and bug fixes [/list] [img]https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/roots-of-pacha-production.appspot.com/o/devlogs%2F39%2FAuroch-RoP.png?alt=media[/img] Depending on how the remaining work on consoles goes, we’re also exploring including some of these: [list] [*] New Union locations [*] Optional Hunting/Gathering Minigame [*] Traps [*] Growable mushroom/herb pots [/list] [h2]After 1.1[/h2] We originally wanted to include children growing to the “kid” stage and animal & plant evolution in 1.1, but those will now be in a future update. Here’s some WIP of those features.

As a small team, we want to ensure the updates get as much love and attention as the base game. After 1.1, we will keep updating the game next year as we have grand plans to add two more regions and more features to the mid and end-game. We think it will be worth the wait, and as always, we’ll keep you updated on how the development is going. You rock!
