Islands of the Caliph is my new retro RPG in active development. I plan to release it this summer (2023). I have just been working on adding a scrolling quest journal #screenshotsaturday

#gamejoltart Another painting, this one in oils. I designed this in a 3D software before printing it and hand painting all the colors and patterns by hand. https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SchmidtWorkshops http://www.schmidt-gallery.com/ https://gamejolt.com/@SchmidtWorkshops https://schmidt-workshops.weebly.com/

I've been working on updating more levels recently. Progress is slow, but should be more steady from now on ... here is the current one I am working on. You can see that I took the old, tile based level, and I am just drawing over it.

I have been revising the story for Paradox Vector, drawing on the work of H.P. Lovecraft to give it more depth, and to guide the next steps in terms of creature and environment design...

#gamejoltart This is part of another oil painting called Wormhole. https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SchmidtWorkshops http://www.schmidt-gallery.com/ https://gamejolt.com/@SchmidtWorkshops https://schmidt-workshops.weebly.com/

I am giving each level in Paradox Vector a little more of a distinct look and feel.

This week, for #ScreenshotSaturday, a peaceful waterfall amidst the chaos of Paradox Vector. Play the demo to find out how the water gets all the way back up there. You may be surprised!

#gamejoltart Here is another excerpt from a painting. These were both done way back in 2005. They are based on photos I took in a German castle. https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SchmidtWorkshops http://www.schmidt-gallery.com/ https://gamejolt.com/@SchmidtWorkshops https://schmidt-workshops.weebly.com/
