From the Kitchen to the Battlefield

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while! We hope your culinary adventures have been going well. Today, we’re bringing you some exciting news—something BIG is coming in the next few months!

But first, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support. Over the past five months, Shokudo Underworld has sold over 8,000 copies—a milestone we never expected to reach as an indie team. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey.

As a small startup, our team consists of two co-leaders—one specializing in coding and the other in art—a game designer, a music producer, and, of course, me, the mascot! 😊 Shokudo Underworld was our first game, a way to explore the market and test our potential. Since launch, we’ve received amazing feedback from players—ranging from bug reports to creative suggestions—and we’ve carefully considered every one of them to improve the gaming experience.

Now, with all the lessons we’ve learned, we’re thrilled to announce our next project: Rise of Shrooms!

This brand-new casual game is completely different from Shokudo Underworld. Rise of Shrooms is a turn-based strategy game set on a grid-based battlefield, where every move and action is determined by the roll of the dice. This time, you’re not the hero—you’re leading the mushrooms as they spread their spores, conquer new lands, and take on fierce monsters (and even a legendary boss… but I won’t spoil too much, or my boss will get mad! 😆).

We’ve made sure to keep the gameplay challenging yet rewarding, packed with surprises to keep things fresh. Our amazing artist has once again brought the world to life with charming cartoony characters that we can’t wait for you to meet!

To make the game even better, we’ll be releasing a demo on February 24 as part of Steam Next Fest! This is your chance to try it out early and share your thoughts. We’d love to hear your feedback, especially on game balancing and mechanics.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you again for being part of our adventure!

See you soon in Rise of Shrooms! 🍄✨
