The Obituary — costume for Evilobster
Chai Constantine — costume for Jenn Husler

One new stage
To relive the magic of Evilobster's arcade ending and his epic showdown against The Obituary, a new stage with ring out "The People's Champ - AWA Arena" is now selectable to duke it out like a real wrestler.
Thanks to all of you who supported the game! I hope you'll have fun reading how the story unfolds and discovering more about the world and characters!

The game now works as intended, I apologize for the confusion and the issue this might have caused.
Roll back to latest stable version due to startup bug
The latest patch introduced some critical bugs that need to be fixed. Rolling back to previous version until the startup bugs are fixed.

Schwarzerblitz v1.4.7 - small bug fix to Gallery
The in-game gallery was searching for pictures that didn't exist in the game's folder (mostly, remnants of the original GameJolt version), causing crashes if some specific pictures were selected. The bug is now fixed.
Schwarzerblitz was shown at EVO 2022 during the indie showcase event!
You are reading this right! The impossible happened! Schwarzerblitz was featured at EVO 2022 in the Indie Showcase stream, so YES, let me repeat it, SCHWARZERBLITZ WAS SHOWN AT EVO 2022, both on the main stage and live on Twitch!
Here's the timestamp to the moment where the Steam trailer was played: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1553151990?t=03h41m15s
Thank you all for your continued support, without you all playing this game, this wouldn't have been possible! Now, let's go and ride the lightning again, once more! After 5 years of work, this is one of the best results I could ever have hoped to achieve! Next step, having a tournament at EVO, maybe? ;)
Schwarzerblitz v1.4.7 - cheat codes bug fix, low spec toggle and x64 version
Due to a small coding error, cheat codes stopped working, so I have issued an updated version with the following changes:
Bug fixes
Title screen cheat codes are working again. I apologize for the inconvenience.
New features
Added a toggle to switch off all stage elements (except water)
Added prompt for launching native x64 build of Schwarzerblitz instead of the usual x86 build (might help with some mismatched Visual Studio Redistributable installations)
[WORKSHOP BUG - Fixed] The previous workshop bug has been fixed
The workshop bug has been fixed. Your custom stages and characters will now work again without issues in VS and Arcade mode. I apologize for all troubles and headaches this might have caused to you! Reach out/comment if you are still experiencing problems, please!
[WORKSHOP BUG] - Currently under investigation
The current game patch somehow broke workshop support. I am currently investigating the issue, thanks a lot for your understanding!
In the meanwhile, those who have workshop characters should roll back to version 1.4.6 from the Steam "beta" menu
