- PAKO 4 in progress! - 17 February 2025
We are excited to bring you the next version and the true evolution of the PAKO series. Pako 4 will be going back to the path that Pako 2 took. More open, more realistic (in our way at least), more structured gameplay, more stuff that we are really excited to show you later on. This time there will be truly a living city feel to a huge map. All you here have been sharing lots of stuff and we would greatly appreciate if you would WISHLIST PAKO 4 and join the community there. We promise to answer as much as possible to requests, wishes and questions. Of course not all is possible since we are a tiny team but we do listen!

- Soundtrack is out! - 28 November 2017
Hi there! Soundtrack release got delayed couple days because of various issues but here it is! These are just some of the songs, but more arranged to album way, since in-game they have to be bit different. There has been also requests to bring back some of the songs from the Early Access version and that is also considered, maybe a vol.2 and a separate "radio channel" for them? Anyways, you can listen/purchase it here, or later this week from Steam: https://dkstr.bandcamp.com/album/pako-2-official-soundtrack I hope you like it! Best regards, DKSTR

- Week #45 Update - 9 November 2017
https://media.giphy.com/media/xUOxfjCQMrFoLexwFq/giphy.gif Hello there! This week there is LOTS. We are very close to the release. 2 new levels Let’s start with the two remaining locations for the launch version of the game, Motor Bay and Golden Sands! Motor Bay is dense urban map with lots of side streets, drainage canals and factories. Also included some train tracks that might or might not be clever to use! This is probably the hardest map in the game. Golden Sands is a small casino city with very level design, so not much bumps here! Traffic is pretty heavy though on the main streets so good tip is to use the smaller side streets for quicker routes! 5 new cars - Isoville - Camel - Freak Bus - Road King - Wanderer Road King and Wanderer are unlocked after completing Golden Sands and are both some of the best cars in the game. Other changes: - Bugfixes and optimization - Visuals impro…

- Week 43 update - 26 October 2017
Some new stuff added, bugs fixed and visual polishing done this week! Now in the game over screen, player gets notified of next unlockable item and also gets info if there's something to buy in the shop areas with the updated amount of money. Just to remind you to check your crib (which btw can be found in Title menu > Progress) every now and then, we added a notifier in the title menu. :) It shows a small note if there's new furniture etc. gained. Other things. "Extra life" perk felt too powerful so we removed it from the stack for now and added "Sidekick" perk instead. The new perk spawns a friendly helper car which joins the fight on your side. https://i.imgur.com/peiIRcJ.gif
