New content on the way - and a small contest


In a couple months, there will be a new release containing at least 10 playable characters, story segments into the arcade, various unlockables (new game modes and costumes), some balancing and (maybe) an interactive tutorial. Since I modified several things, I will have to wait the next release to compile a modding guide, due to code changes from the current build.

Now, for the contest: until 30th May you can submit an original design for a character costume respecting some loose guidelines. The design must be submitted as a coloured sketch or black and white sketch with description of the colour. The most original(s) will be incorporated into the game as bonus unlockable costumes :) If you are interested, just reply here. In case of too few entries (or, worse, no entries at all)… well, at least it was worth trying :’)

Guidelines

  • it has to be a costume for one of the eight characters in the banner (Johnson, Tiger, Graf, Krave, Shaz, Amy, Cyphr, Skeleton);

  • Johnson’s must wear a hat;

  • Skeleton must be masked;

  • Shaz has to be a sharkman of any known species;

  • Tiger and Graf should retain their animal features;

  • Cyphr can’t have arms;

  • no NSFW / 18+ costumes;

  • no capes, long tails or large wings (animation issues).

The winning costumes (if any) will be included in the upcoming release. That’s all, see you next update! :)

Schwarzerblitz @ EVO 2025! This is not a drill!

Meet the developer August 1-3 in Las Vegas in the indie dev area and (why not?) challenge him to a duel!

Las Vegas, it's time to RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

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)

Date a gay shark! Or a lesbian disaster! And uncover the mystery behind the Man who Speaks with Flowers in a new Schwarzerblitz short visual novel! Out now: https://gamejolt.com/games/schwarzerblitz-drinkingsharkrhapsody/…

Schwarzerblitz - 2024 Character Popularity Survey! It takes 3 minutes to fill and will tell me more about your favorite characters! If you filled it already on Twitter, Steam or Discord, don't fill it again! Open till August 12! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ8N2hCTAQp5AF-8sg5SDs…

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!

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

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.

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!

The impossible happened! Schwarzerblitz was featured at EVO 2022 in the Indie Showcase stream, so YES, let me repeat it, SCHWB WAS SHOWN AT EVO 2022!

Thank you all for your continued support, without you and GameJolt, this wouldn't have been possible!

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.
