Whenever a new farming-themed game hits the market, the big question that always seems to come up is: what does this game bring to the table that hasn’t already been done by the juggernaut that is Stardew Valley? A lot of times the most obvious difference between games in this genre is the setting, and Roots of Pacha – an upcoming farming game/village builder from indie developer Soda Den – is setting itself apart by going all the way back in time to the Stone Age. During a recent gameplay demo at Summer Game Fest, I got to chat with Soda Den co-founder and lead developer Timo Dadony about just what their upcoming game is trying to accomplish.
Crucially, Roots of Pacha’s unique time period seems to play more of a role in how the game plays rather than merely being set dressing. The game tasks players with building up a clan of villagers at the outset of human innovation, back when very few tools even existed. From this starting point, players will “help your clan develop the ideas that shape humanity” through multiple eras of history all the way through the Iron Age. And while farming is certainly a part of that – as well as inventing the various pieces of equipment to make that happen – it also includes things like developing culture, arts, and even religion as part of a growing society.
Nintendo has updated its upcoming maintenance schedule with a new session. Later this month, the eShop will be impacted for a couple of hours. This applies to Switch, Wii U, and 3DS.
Here’s the full schedule as things currently stand:
Over the past month, Die Soft has been seeking funding for Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland on Kickstarter. The $65,000 goal was met towards the end, and a Switch version was secured in the process.
Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland is a platforming Metroidvania adventure title. Players will be able to explore a non-linear world that has been hand-animated frame-by-frame. The game features new ability-granting toys and PJs, various environments inspired by Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo comics, a colorful cast of characters, and more.
