What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“PacaPomo has benefitted greatly from being an accessible completely free title. It is currently a solid package that serves as a cute, fun Pomodoro app. That being said, we have more in store for PacaPomo before it is ready for a 1.0 launch. Early Access will let us test these new features out, gather feedback from the community, and collect more analytical data on what's working and not. Early Access also makes it clear to players that this is a WIP title.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“PacaPomo will likely be in early access for a year or two depending on the development and playtest help we get throughout Early Access”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Final release should have at least 15 alpacas total to adopt, more minigames, more music, and a fresh coat of polish for both UI and animation. You'll also be able to sign in to a user account and carry your saves across devices”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, PacaPomo is a functioning gamified pomodoro app that is nearly feature complete.

Features you can expect to see:
- A Pomodoro timer with custom time intervals and many options you'd expect such as long-breaks, a productivity log, and automatically continuing from breaks to focus
- A light alpacas pet sim where you can adopt, pet, shear, and feed alpacas.
- A light farming sim where you can grow crops, harvest them, sell them, and use them to feed your alpacas.
- A game loop that is tightly integrated with the pomodoro timer
- 3 music tracks to play during your focus time
- 4 alpacas to adopt + 1 you get immediately
- 2 minigames: Cooking and Shearing
- Expansion opportunities where you can purchase land to plant more and uncover new gameplay features (More in the future)

It's still a bit unpolished, especially in terms of UI, and you can expect to find some bugs here and there as you play. However, the game is cute, fun, and offers you a reward for your IRL tasks. If this is what you're looking for, you're in the right place!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Sort of. Throughout EA, we will be transitioning from an entirely free game to free with paid cosmetics.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll be paying close attention to the posts within the Steam Community Hub. We're taking feedback, suggestions, and bug reports and responding to them as soon as we can. We're always looking for playtesters in our community discord. You can find the link in Steam's links section on this page. We take our playtesters' feedback seriously, so whatever burning questions or suggestions you have, please let us know.

Please also follow us on Instagram and TikTok where we will be posting interactive polls regarding decisions on all of the upcoming alpacas such as theme, color, personality, etc!”

PacaPomo is a cozy, Free to Play productivity app where you raise alpacas and cultivate a farm, all driven by the Pomodoro Technique!

PacaPomo is an experimental cross between a productivity app and a farming game. Our objective is to create a cozy farming game for busy students and working professionals to play while going about their daily routines and responsibilities. The game revolves around using a Pomodoro Timer - a technique where a person sets a goal to focus for 25 minutes, and then break for 5 minutes, allowing for them to stick to a schedule and improve their concentration. This may be especially beneficial to those with ADHD, that thrive off gamifying chores and tasks.

PacaPomo provides rewards for completing Pomodoro Timers by progressing time on the farm and giving Sol - a currency solely used for adopting new alpacas and expanding the farm. New alpacas are unique, bespoke characters that have different personalities and stories. They are acquired randomly through adopting from the Alpaca Sanctuary, giving players a sense of excitement for each new addition to their farm.

Players are allowed to choose from a slider their focus and break times (25 - 150 minutes for focus, 5 - 30 minutes for break) and the rewards scale according to amount of time completed. We also have advanced options like adding long breaks, auto-switching to the next Pomodoro, and plan to add more features to our pomodoro to allow for as much player freedom and ease of use. There is also a report card that tracks daily, weekly, and monthly progress.

After completion of a Pomodoro work session, crops will grow, new Alpacas can be adopted, and the occasional event pops up for interaction. There are also terraces on the farm, which can be unlocked using PacaPomo's currency which allow the player to expand their play space and unlock new mechanics and features - some include an orchard, a training gym, and a pond. We will continue developing the game past launch to add more activities, Alpaca characters, and farm progression, which will offer players engagement long-term.

In today's fast-paced world, many struggle to balance work, responsibilities, and leisure time. PacaPomo aims to address this challenge by offering a free, fun and accessible way for people to relax and unwind while also being productive.
