TANUKI: Pon's Summer changes
Hehe, yeah, you’ve seen the title.
Pon’s getting all the closer to world domination! WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING IT.
Thank you guys for helping us hit our first huge milestone. We are very appreciative of everyone's support! We're really glad that everyone is enjoying their small glimpses of Pon's world so far. We will be using this milestone excitement to work even harder on the development!.
Here’s a little thank you from Pon:
WATCH US DISCUSS THE ORIGINS OF TANUKI: PON’S SUMMER
Another awesome thing. Like, when it’s raining, it’s pouring, but somehow with great news??
We’ve got our hands on the dev diary that our friends at ASUS ROG filmed and put together for us.
The dev diary in question was shot during this summer in Kyoto:
By the way, this interview was partly shot at BRIDGE, our favourite bar and sort of an alma mater of Denkiworks Studio, where our ideas had grown from talks to action points and then to actually founding our own company. If you've played the demo... you may actually recognize the interior? 👀
Thank you so much, ASUS ROG, for believing in us and taking us under your wing aka ROG Dev Accelerator program!
PON DEMANDS MORE TRICKS.
Seeing the wishlist counter growing is such a nice sight, we want to make sure that more players get a chance to participate in our very first contest!
So, we’re extending the deadline for tricks contest submissions.
Let us get through the requirements, just in case:
Submit a combo chain of tricks. It’s gotta be clean, or long, or crazy, or all of the things combined! Make your skills and imagination run wild.
Post your clip on X with the hashtag #tanukiponssummer
This is not a contest of popularity. The combo judges from Denkiworks and CRITICAL REFLEX will rule out their decision solely based on what we deem worthy of the prizes.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE
Submit before 21/08/2025, 8 pm PST. Yep, ten more days to hone your BMXing.
PRIZES
A digital copy of the full game at launch. At least the delivery won’t be postponed by some sudden side hustles of the delivery guy.
A commemorative shrine decoration. Nothing like a whole world being reminded of your coolness till the end of time, right?
There are only three Champions-to-be. Can you become one of them? Only Tanuki gods can tell
but they won’t
.
ONE OF OUR FAV SUBMISSIONS SO FAR:
Feeling intimidated? Fight that.
This is never gonna be not exciting to repeat:
Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!
