Arnie, in the screenshot of the raft in the storm; there is a child holding on to an adult.

The child/children must be off gathering mushrooms or gathering eggs from the chickens.

Oh, Arnie, it sure is nice seeing you again.

My goodness! My goodness!
A screen shot I've seen!
And does this game start
with a storm on the sea?

A fortress! A fortress!
A fortress it seems,
is what we will have
in villagers 3!

But why do we need it?
I must stop to ask.
Do you think that just maybe
wild animals we'll have?

Oh I like the new outfits,
and collectibles stayed!
This means the children
will work as they play!

We thank you Queen Carla
for posting these shots.
Though the questions unanswered
are still quite a lot.

But if all the clues
were more than a hint,
then who'd bother playing?
I think this is fit!

Oh my the anticipation doth grow
But soon we will have it
and then we'll all know,
just what great new secrets
and surprises await.
Oh dear please do hurry
I really can't wait!

ok, that pic looks so awezome!!!!!!! i cant wait!!!

WOW...the pics are marvelous! To me it looks like the villagers have landed on a different part of the Island and have come upon a castle that was apparently ransacked at some time (the broken table, the spilled liquid) What happened to the people that used to live there? And who did this, and are they still on the Island? This looks like great fun, is it Spring yet??

....wonder what the place looks like clean.Ah well,at least there is pics.

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXITED!!!!
* Goes "JUMPY!" like the kids in VV2*

MEGA WOW!!!!!! I'm impressed
Cant wait for VV3. What other surprises can we expect? Way to go!!

Oh my!!

First off, thank you Carla for putting these up! These are such excellent pictures and seeing these have certainly put me in a better mood today. I really like the new looks of the villagers and the background.

Now, what can these pictures tell us? Arnie does have an excellent point. The first picture certainly does appear to be a room in a makeshift fort. There appears to be something like a chimney in this room and it seems like there is oil or paint or some other strange looking liquid on the ground... Now if this is a fort, why are they building it? Are they afraid of another tribe, or wild animals, or something else (maybe something with a magical element?)?

As for the second picture, (and I'm already surprised no one has mentioned it) what is with those faces in the wind/clouds to the left of the raft? It looks like a male and female are blowing the raft to the right but they're looking to the left. Hmmm....

Oh well, we're just going to have to wait and find out when it comes out! I can't wait!

I am so excited about this...If only there was one more screenshot but It might spoil it a bit. Are they going to change the taskbar (the thingy with the techpoints, food, pop, and all the buttons) i noticed it is exactly the same as vv2's taskbar.
