Swing Striker News

Hey G.Rounders! How's your week been? We've been busy squashing more bugs than we can count thanks to your help, keep 'em coming!

Btw, did you see us getting owned at our own game on Bram's stream last week? 😂 It was awesome to play against pro gamers. Just because we made the game it doesn't mean we're the best at it.. 😛 Check it out here if you missed it- https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1294554559?t=00h15m00s

But who is the best? Our team has been debating which of our devs is the best at Swing Striker? Who would win- engineers that built the game QA that's done hundreds of hours of testing, the designers that thought it up, or the artists that created the characters?



There's only one way to find out! A live-streamed developer tournament! It starts later today at 6 pm MST. Come on by our Twitch or Steam page to see it go all down live! https://www.twitch.tv/giantfoxstudios

See you there!

WOW, what an awesome week this has been! We've been reading through every review and watching all of the videos. Thank you so much for all of the amazing feedback given.

We're already making improvements to the game based on what you've said! A new build of Swing Striker just went live a few moments ago. Here's what's new!
- Fixed most critical issues (there are still some issues if you play multiple matches in a row
- Made it easier to unlock skins/costumes and they sync online now!



Here's what we're working on next:
- Fixing remaining major bugs
- Adding a rematch button for private online matches
- Adding an option to play against a bot in competitive mode

If you run into any bugs while playing, please press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B to report a bug to us right in-game and put it in your review over at the website. It's a HUGE help for us!

Also, there's a Swing Striker community game night on G.Round at 10am EST today- https://www.twitch.tv/gameroundco

A few of the developers will be there, so come by, chat with us, and see if you have what it takes to beat us at our own game!

Have you heard? We're running a beta test for Swing Striker!



You can play a demo of the game for free and leave us some feedback so we can improve it before launch. If we use your feedback to change the game, we'll include you in the credits! Win/win/win!

We are BEYOND excited to hear what you think about the demo. Be sure to leave us feedback!

Happy swingin'!

Too busy to write a lot, but check out how sick our new Fox Box looks!



We've heard some feedback so far- "Looks cool but does it work?" PFFT. What is this, amateur hour? Of course it'll work! We literally just fixed the last critical issue an hour ago. We also added a whole bunch of awesome new features to Swing Striker! A new update should be available on Steam for anyone that's gotten an early key. But TBH, it's best on the Fox Box :p Here's a little peak inside...



Come check it out at Whaaat?! this weekend. Hope to see you there!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]New characters don't just poof into existence you know! Watch our talented artist, Bryant LaMare, draw a new character from concept through completion. To the left is a video of him working on our first character, Basic B.

Swing Striker is a game all about intergalactic grappling-hook soccer, so we have no idea what Bryant will come up with for the next character!

Wishlist Swing Striker here if you haven't yet!

Happy swingin'!
