hi i like what you have achieved and your introduction to the game, its very interesting.. in addition to pixel perficks response...

i think many pixel characters are easy emphasized with, i've seen this on the creations threads or on the arcade.. usually its the first visual experience then playing the game can make you closer to the character.. some I have seen its been the way they are stood say or big eyes, or oversize feet etc so I would say make the characters visually adorable/ cute/,,and show their feelings etc..

this is the Powhatan village I want to try and re-create..

the chiefs dwelling will be located here, with other homes located outside the area as well.. ( i think)

any help or advice would be most appreciated thanks

Thanks for the good wishes

hi

this is a mock up of the type of look i want for the James fort. Having an isometric view..

The graphics will be all my own, with some of the buildings being interactive. Displaying a GUI/ menu driven trading screen..

I think the houses will be more simpler to represent the first settlers at that time..

the mansion is looking good; I like your attention to detail on the 'fencing/ veranda' with the loose/ missing pieces.. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
