A question to you all + current progress on Story mode


The question

Since the current state of the game is A LOT nearer to a complete release, would you like to have access to a further beta before the final release?
At the moment, the game has arcade endings for the main 16 characters (so, all except Donner, Random, and Tutorial Man), plus 7 full story chapters to play.
The story mode as it is now takes around 2 hours to complete (if you want to read the text/follow the cutscenes), while each arcade can last between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on skill, difficulty level and number-of-rounds setttings.

The progress

The seventh story chapter (The Flowers of Evil), which is the direct sequel of story chapter #1 (Faceless in the Crowd) and #6 (Through the Fire and Flames), is finally complete.

I feel pretty satisfied by the current status of things, but of course things can always be improved.

I’m working at the remaining four to five story chapters. Each story chapter lasts around 15 minutes, so the final version will have around 3-4 hours of story content (or more, depending on what I can manage to do)

Next up

SCHWB v1.6 update is (slightly) delayed to middle of June, due to a couple other indie fighting games coming out at the end of May (thus avoiding a pile-up with them). Fanart submissions for the final release are still open!

After a lot of delay (for which I apologize from the bottom of my heart), the 8-Colors Star Guardians+ free DLC costumes are now available for download! This DLC package contains the two previously released DLC packs for the Steam version!

Renzo had a chronic lack of Mid strikes, so I decided to try my luck at giving him at least one with some approach and counter hit combo potential (not sure how good of an idea it is, will keep testing)

I got suddenly nostalgic for old game magazines (please, forgive my typo, it was pride yourself on, not of, darnit)

Aaaand here's the final version, straight from the early '00s!

Seven years after the first alpha, Schwarzerblitz v1.6 is out with a HUGE update!

Due to some issues with setting financial information on GameJolt, I am currently not able to offer the latest DLC through this platform.

"Tales from the Epilogue" is currently available on itch and Steam, but compatible with the GJ version of the game.

To celebrate its 5th anniversary, I've written an article about the very first, janky, SCHWB alpha from 2017! Thank you to all of you who followed the game since its inception despite the jank!

On June 1, 2024. The Red Riding Wolf will howl.

Schwarzerblitz version v1.6 is coming soon, with a new playable character, new arcade endings and a lot of system changes.

The black lightning will strike again.
