This November may be an unusual month on the game release calendar, but that hasn't stopped Denkiworks from making its debut with Tanuki: Pon's Summer. Denkiworks is an alumnus of the ROG Dev Accelerator, an ASUS initiative that supports independent game development studios, and to celebrate the game's launch, Crash Landing Studios has released a beautiful animated short promoting the game alongside ROG devices, including the Zephyrus G14 laptop and Xbox Ally X gaming handheld.
"All the animation is proudly human-made by the wizards at Crash Landing Studio", ROG says. We previously spoke with Myxo Mycota, founder of Crash Landing Studios, about the studio's approach to stylized animation and its use of Blender, so check out our interview.
In Tanuki: Pon's Summer, you step into the paws of Pon, a part-time postal worker who's in for a warm, cozy summer full of little adventures and new friends. Hop on your BMX and deliver letters and packages to the island's residents. You'll earn money along the way to help restore the old local shrine before the big festival: Pon wants to do a good job. Island life offers plenty more than delivering mail, though: make sushi, play baseball, or step into the sumo ring.
