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.

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

#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/

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

#ScreenshotSaturday I am adding plants and other background objects to my game. I'm excited to see what can be accomplished in this style....

#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/

Here you see two new features. At the beginning you see the red damage circle when the player gets hit. Then, watch the behavior of the guard as it peeks out and takes a shot at our protagonist before retreating behind the wall...
