Here is a first small screenshot of Village Sim for Windows. We will have more coming soon as soon as Arthur lets me post some more!

Feedback is welcome on the look, especially the villager.

I very much like the look of the palm trees and beach here but the villager looks a little 'cartoony' in comparison.

I don't think you need to change the look, but maybe turn down some of the colours might do the trick.

I like it - it sort of reminds me of something I had when I was a kid (long, long time ago) but I can't remember what. With those sort of colours, it'll be harder to "lose" villagers.

The villager looks a bit like a cabbage patch doll!

So give them colourful clothing.

I think that it is possible to make the villagers stand out quite well doing that, rather than give them bright pink faces and red hair.

The thing is, if you wnat the game to be cartoony, then make the background a little cartoony too - more of a cel-shaded effect perhaps.

It probably comes across that I am preferring the 'realistic' look but I'm not, I'm suggesting that I would like to see a more cohesive look.

Yes, a more cohesive look is in order. But if the palm tree/beach scene is any indication of the quality of the entire village background, then I wouldn't change the background one bit! It's gorgeous!

I love the "real" look of the palm trees! I'm definately looking forward to it!!
