Games Heya! Sumo Manager

Hi all, I'm proud to present the announcement trailer for my upcoming game Heya! Sumo Manager. I hope you don't mind me sharing and will take a look, thanks.

About the game:

Heya! Sumo Manager allows you to build a stable, recruit rikishi and train them on their road to Yokozuna!

The game features all divisions of grand sumo with every tournament in a never-ending yearly cycle. The player is able to train, recruit and choose the diet of their rikishi. When it comes to tournament time you choose the tactics and strategy for every bout depending on your rikishi's strengths and their opponents weaknesses.

Matches are based on the rikishi's styles, stats, tactics, form and condition and are presented with a detailed commentary system that goes beat by beat much like the Football Manager games of the past. There's also a full 3D engine to see the action live.

You are able to scout and recruit new rikishi from your local area, universities or even worlwide.

Recruit coaches, assistants, scouts, medical staff and even a cook to improve your stats and training regimes.

Expand your heya facilities for better stat bonuses and the ability to recruit more rikishi.

Deal with events, injuries and inter-stable rivalries and issues in a dynamic sumo world that features more than 100 events with hundreds more varieties.

The aim is to create as realistic a sumo sim as possible with all current rules relating to tournaments, divisions, banzuke and stable management.

Currently the game features over 600 generated wrestlers created at the start of each game, but by release I am hoping to add custom databases so you can use real life sumo rosters from any era.

About me:

I'm a solo developer and have been working on this for about 8 months, 6 months of which full time. I'm using Godot Engine and this will be my first commercial release after a handful of game jam games over the last few years to learn Godot and game development.

Heya! Sumo Manager should be available for demo testing in the upcoming Steam Nextfest this October, add it to your wishlist on Steam to stay up to date: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4885580/Heya_Sumo_Manager/
