Just make it exist first, you can make it good later! Gamedev is a marathon, not a sprint! Keep going!

I wonder what's on this island... Gotta find a way to clear these boulders... 🤔

Happy Pride Month! 🫶🌈

Oliver is Brie's younger brother and local troublemaker. As the only kid in Salad Town, Oliver often feels lonely and acts out because of it. He's a good kid at heart though and loves math and video games. #indiedev

Long time no see! Long long time no see~ Mostly been working on things that aren't really all that interesting to look at! But here is the Burrowyrm; based on the dragon head caterpillar! #gamedev

From this ----> to this!

We are proud to be an indie studio who does not use generative AI. We will continue to encourage other studios to do the same to preserve the soul of human made projects.

Everberries grow year round, but they change flavour in each season; making them one of the most versatile ingredients to forage!

You may have noticed we have a new, updated logo!

What did you give Quinn to make him react this way? 🤔🥰 #ScreenshotSaturday

Happy Year of the Snake! Have a snek peek of Snasque, the Wine Snake monster! It is able to make alcoholic drinks with the casque it lives in! #HappyChineseNewYear

The adorable Toadmadoro can drop tomadoros and [redacted]! Try raising them if you are out of season to plant tomadoros!

Happy new year from the Salad Days team! We hope you enjoy this doodle of our merchant Yu Fei and Tohru ringing in the new year together! Have a wonderful 2025 and don't drink and drive!

When you mash A and skip the dialogue. 😶

Post a creature from your game, and its inspiration! Chilli Pupper and Pepper the real life pupper that inspired them! 🥰 #gamedev #indiedev #saladdaysgame 🥗

How it started vs how it's going with Salad Days!

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Another snippet of Umami Town to show you today! The Ginkgo Clinic is right on the edge of town, next to the honeyfly fields.

Here is a cozy screenshot of Umami Town, where you'll be spending a lot of time getting to know the colourful residents! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #cozygame

Next up for a potential match is Quinn, the gloomy tailor. Quinn has a severe case of imposter syndrome, despite being objectively very skilled. This stems from growing up in Moyo, where the world's best tailors come from.

Next up for the love interest roster is Tohru, chef and patissier extrordinaire! Well, she would be if she could still cook, that is. Her cool personality is one of her most popular features, will you help Tohru find a new passion?

The next love interest we're introducing today is Petra, the loveable hermit and librarian! Will you (book)worm your way into this bibliophile's heart? 📖🐛

We heard that Sephiroth should be in every game so we added him to Salad Days. 😬 #ScreenshotSaturday

Brie is the next potential love interest in Salad Days! The sunshine herself! A bit of a workaholic, but always has an upbeat vibe!

One of our writers @bilesprite.bsky.social, drew Firiet from memory. Perhaps an alternate outfit? 🤔

With the battle system in Salad Days, you're not fighting monsters, you're feeding them! Make the best Mon Stir Fry you can for the monsters you're facing. If you add something they don't like, you're in for a world of hurt! #screenshotsaturday

Time to introduce some potential love interests! First up is the loveable bottomless pit, Firiet!

Here's a small WIP of the mountain map to the north of Umami! We haven't named the Mountain yet, if anyone wants to pitch some names! Bonus if it's food punny!

The player's house! A small but cute little spot to cook and rest. Firiet seems to be hanging out today!

The default MC! Isekai'd to the world of Umami by the passionless God of Cooking. We have plans to allow customization of hair colour/eye colour/skin tone but haven't implemented it yet. Here you can see the basic front/back sprite and concept art.

Salad Days is set in the land of Umami, one of nine continents in the fantastical world of Moshiri. But Umami, known for the tasty art of cooking, and Ryōri, the God of Cooking himself, has been plagued by a peculiar pickle... Ryōri fell ill and lost the gift of cooking!

Welcome to Salad Days! A farming and cooking sim/rpg set in the delicious world of Umami! What do we have cooking up for you? 🤔 Over 100+ tasty recipes? ✅️ A variety of hot guys, gals and non binary pals to woo? ✅️ A unique battle system? ✅️ Cute and cool monsters? ✅️
