Ten years? TEN YEARS!
You've read it right: Schwarzerblitz is now a decade old! Development started in May 2016. Here's a relic of that time, featuring my old defunct laptop too in my Heildeberg room =P
The game has gone a long way since that point, reaching the form we all (?) love today! It's not a perfect game by any definitions and there is a lot that I could have improved - if it weren't my first 3D game at all.
All in all, it was a wild ride, one that allowed me to become the developer I am today. I have no regrets, except not having Started With Online In Mind (sob). Nevertheless, this game will always remain in my heart.
Back in 2016 I started making Schwarzerblitz as a way to survive my PhD times. I couldn't expect it to become the success it has been.
So, to celebrate this now old boy, I'm holding One Last Fan Art Call for the in-game gallery!
Your art here
To celebrate this decade of success, here's one last fan art call: Submit your art through this form:
Submissions are open from today till June 16, 2026!
Fan art pieces eligible for submission must abide by the following rules:
You must draw them yourself
You can't use any generative AI
The picture must include only characters from Schwarzerblitz, its sequels or the related stories
That's all folks!
Thanks for having stuck with this game for so long! If enough art is submitted, I will add it to the in-game gallery at the end of June 2026.
Happy drawing and LET THE LIGHTING STRIKE AGAIN!
