I'm proud to have been able to work with Anders on @SkaldRpg for the last 1.5 years.
It's truly been a joy. It's wonderful to see my environment art combined with all the amazing art; elaborate illustrations, creature animations, writing and music. ❤️

making this kind of stuff work with gamepad , mouse , keyboard and with every deranged combination of those is really not easy!

Trying to learn some Godot, no idea for a game yet, just playing, and sketched this lil' character I might use.
Can you tell I played DOS Prince of Persia recently?

@Supernorn Good for you :D can definitely recommend hermit cabin in the woods to wind down 😌 Have fun!

[High North Studios @SkaldRpg]

Huzza! We've now set up an experiMENTAL branch on Steam to be able to offer updates a bit sooner to the more adventurously inclined members of the #Skald community! It also massively help me test builds before we expose them to the greater hive-mind! 🧠

@Powerhoof Ah, a cat pillar, very nice 😽

[MAARTEN BOOT @MaartnBoot]

@Asherett @SkaldRpg I skipped all the random encounters 😌 Parley or Flee, my go to emotions

[MAARTEN BOOT @MaartnBoot]

Done did it! Even though I've pretty much seen almost every nook and cranny while working on the game, there were still surprises around every corner :D

I might be biased but I loved it, all the art, writing and music came together so well. Amazing job everyone!

@Asante097288013 @SkaldRpg Cheers :) And I chose Grace Jones of course :p

[MAARTEN BOOT @MaartnBoot]

Playing through the release version of @SkaldRpg for the first time. It's so much fun having my artwork scattered around all over the place :D
Amazing to see all those little details come together 🤘

[High North Studios @SkaldRpg]

I'm a solo developer and I've pretty much all of the writing, design and coding myself. That's not to say I haven't been blessed with INCREDIBLE freelancers who have all shaped the game in their own major ways!

Below is my thread of fantastic #Skald freelancers! 🧵

[MAARTEN BOOT @MaartnBoot]

@DaMac80 Cheers :D

A small selection of the environments I worked on for SKALD.
Lots of work went into making each place look like a lived-in space.
