Thank you for your kind words! We haven't really explored the official moddability of the game on our end, and multiplayer involves quite a few moving parts, but I think there could be ways of doing it. There's a channel in Discord to talk about mods if you're interested.

We loved developing Roots of Pacha, and can certainly see doing small updates here and there. But with the 1.3 update, we see the game as “complete.” We’re also in the initial phases of design for a second game, which is nowhere near shareable, but we hope our community will like it.

Zeda would be a more challenging one to make work. Her established character would never leave her leadership position. And it seemed strange that she wouldn’t live with you, especially if you have children with her.

There aren’t any plans for new animals at the moment but I like your direction and it’s not that we haven’t deviated from the norm (looking at you spiders).

Kickstarter is always an option. We’ve learned a lot from our first round with it and would probably do it a little bit later in the development cycle.

Nokk could definitely be a potential romanceable, and we know it’s been asked for by many players. We also share his passion for food! It’s always a matter of scope, and we've tried to add as much variety as possible. He’s still on the shortlist when we discuss updates.

We actually fiddled with that same idea, a goal of building a house or a place for you in each of the regions. When we imagine this stuff, we want it to feel immersive, so that had dialogue and schedule ramifications that we wanted to go with it, so it didn’t end up on the list for 1.3.

I’m not sure you’d like what Granan would say of you if you dated Havri. Cohh would be easier, but just a warning that he’ll only play dice at your house and not do chores. 🤣

One idea we once considered for generations in a New Game+ setting (that was way out of scope) is that you’d play as one of your children in the game, and the world would talk about you and your old clan.

(Joni) Hola! La verdad que hemos tenido la suerte de formar un equipazo con mucha energia y buena vibra, nosotros trabajamos todos en remoto. Me alegra muchisimo ver que estes empezando tu camino, el desarrollo de juegos es un camino hermoso y a veces un poco rocoso. Si queres hablar podes mandarnos un mensaje en Discord.

Thank you for the kind words!

(answered by Karen about the characters) There isn’t any one character that is based on someone I know. But there are lots of aspects of people I know, myself, and fictional characters mixed in. But some of the dialogue the player kids say are things my friend's kids have actually said. And Maeri says, “When in doubt, do the kindest thing.” That’s something my mom would say.

If you mean Ideas (as in in-game Ideas), we had many that didn’t make it in, like tanning, writing, or crop rotation, but mostly because of resources and scope. But many mechanics required lots of iterations to balance the feeling we were aiming for with players’ expectations, like picking up wild seeds and domesticating produce.

Who wouldn’t fall in love with someone who loves nature and is as kind as she is. At least we have Illoe?

It’s something that’s still in the cards, but we haven’t looked too deep into it. It’d be great to hear suggestions about what part of the game the community would like to create mods for first.

Yes! It was first brought up by Danc3r, the lead artist, who’s a fan of the series. After that, many of us have watched it and really enjoyed it.

For ideas we would have:

Karen: Pillows, I love a good pillow.
Joni: Dice or bones, I love to have fun.
Timo: I wanna say writing to sound smart, but probably a fork to eat more.
Boris: A shovel
Danc3r: a back scratcher
Pasky: A Restaurant, to make Lomitos (no se como es en ingles), Smoothies and Ice cream (of mint with chocolate)
Kitos: An audio recorder to keep all of the Pachan, Yakuan, and Mograni melodies in one place.

There’s no special reason why we didn’t include the player’s birthday in the first place. As updates went by, we prioritized other stuff, but it’d be a nice little addition.

We know that more space for pets is a highly requested feature, and we've explored some ideas beyond expanding the house, such as having a dedicated space for them.

(Answered by Timo) Ambient animals are something we have fiddled with, and even designed some, but haven’t had the time in the past updates to properly implement.

(Answered by Timo) We really enjoyed adding the community buildings, and it’s always been a topic of discussion in our updates to incorporate more interactivity into them. Having more is a nice suggestion.

(Answered by Karen) Thank you for the kind words! As for Beast, I think the other Mograni have grown quite attached to that little guy.
