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 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/

#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.

For #screenshotsaturday, I wanted to share some great news about Paradox Vector. It has made it to the Top 100 on IndieDB! Please vote and share to help it win! https://www.indiedb.com/games/paradox-vector

#gamejoltart This is not game dev related, but rather hand painted fine art that I also work on ... here we see just part of a painting. https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SchmidtWorkshops http://www.schmidt-gallery.com/ https://gamejolt.com/@SchmidtWorkshops https://schmidt-workshops.weebly.com/

In addition to developing games, I also paint... "Machine" - 8 x 8 inches - Acrylic on Masonite - 2021

#screenshotsaturday I bring some images of the alien city in #StarExplorers. The testing branch has a big update, and the game is currently on sale too!
