Welcome to the next episode of the Sumo Tatami devlog from Crazy Barbarian Games. Today, we’ll tell you about the changes we’ve been working on since the Играм быть festival.

First of all, we want to thank everyone who took some of their precious time to play Sumo Tatami and provide feedback in our Discord. Your input is very important to us! Special thanks to the influencers who decided to showcase our game to their viewers and subscribers. We greatly appreciate your contributions and are making sure to watch all the recordings to process all the feedback we received.

Now, let’s get back to the game!

Golf is a new mode where teams compete to see who can get their ball into the hole first. Currently, there is one map set in a charming pine forest, consisting of three holes that correspond to three rounds.

Our players remember that the ball in the Football mode was far from ideal. In the new version, our programmers have improved its synchronization with other players, making the football experience more comfortable for everyone. This change also applies to the Golf mode, as players need to roll the ball there too.

In addition to the new mode, the team has revamped rice. Previously, players didn’t understand why they needed to collect rice, as it had no visible effects (in reality, collecting 10 rice increased the sumo wrestler’s speed by 25%). We worked on several prototypes to find the most fun option.

The most exciting update is the stamina mechanic. We increased the rolling speed of the sumo wrestlers, but now moving in this way consumes the stamina bar. Eating rice restores stamina, making rice a very valuable resource in the racing mode and adding an extra layer of decision-making and resource management for players.

And that’s NOT ALL! We fixed numerous bugs, adjusted graphics settings, added a mini-map to the racing mode, and implemented the mechanics of stances.

So, get ready to download the Sumo Tatami update this Friday and try it out for yourself!

Welcome to the fun world of Sumo Tatami 😳, where bumbling sumo wrestlers take center stage in a variety of fun and competitive platformer modes! Get ready for an adventure that pits you against friends and foes in races, king of the hill battles, duels, bowling, golf, and more.

Sumo Tatami is a multiplayer arcade racing game with platformer elements. We want to provide players with the experience of fun and crazy races with guns and physics. Therefore, this game must have a customization system so that players can express their individuality to the fullest.

In Sumo Tatami, players have access to a range of options that will make their sumo wrestlers look unique and express their player.

First, the player can customize the sumo wrestler's skin. The character, like a chameleon, can turn pale, tan, or even green if you're feeling particularly zany today.

But that's not all that can be done to the character's skin. The player can choose from a list of tattoos that will be drawn on the sumo wrestler's body. Of course, the tattoo will be visible only if it will not be covered by clothes, but sometimes you can afford to shine such a manly body.

Secondly, there is of course the clothing. The player can dress up the sumo wrestler in different sets of clothes, or even mix them up amongst themselves to create their own individual style. A cowboy hat and a Viking cape can fit your current fighting mood unexpectedly well.

A sumo wrestler's closet falls into several categories:

• Shoes: sandals, boots or even slippers;
  
• Pants: shorts, pants, and the traditional sumo wrestler's loincloth, which is called mawashi;
  
• Hands: these are gloves of various kinds, except boxing gloves because they belong to a separate weapon slot;
  
• Body: shirts, cloaks, robes and armor, this is perhaps the most diverse element of customization;
  
• Face: masks, glasses and facial vegetation;
  
• Headwear: hats, caps and caps to complete the perfect look. Or, instead of headgear, you can opt for a trendy hairstyle.

You can even change the color for hairstyles and some sets of clothes.

And thirdly, it is of course the sumo wrestler's weapons. For each type of weapon in the game there are different skins, which will affect not only the appearance of the weapon, but also the effects of its shots and attacks. Among our concepts, for example, there is a harpoon that fires sticky chewing gum instead of a cat hook (WARNING, this product is not suitable for eating!).

And what kind of weapons and how they work we will tell you in one of the next devlogs!
By the way, what skin would you like the developers to add to the game?
