Coincidentally, Saber was a good choice, wasn't she?
The interface is really taking shape.
Not really. This game isn't intended to be an accurate representation of an imaginary land, anyway. Furthermore, even if it was, it's highly likely that, over time, they'd have more than one king.
That sounds odd. Worse, it's not terribly appropriate, considering it's source.
Suggestions:
Solas Dearg (Red Light) District Ainnir (Maiden) Way Sráid (Street, lol) St.
If there were prominent natural site characteristics, we could also use those. I.E. Abhainn (river).

@daisy my bad.. looks like i forgot to include the real estate buttons, here it is in the attachment. that screenshot looks awesome, my suggestion is rather than using home button why not using exit button.. also, why not include the quest log and assistant button beside home button..? my idea is your assistant could give suggestion to what item you should buy, i know that means another coding for that.. but i think it is worth it.. also will the buttons be animated? about the font i suggest using calibri font, well that's just my personal preference anyway.. i agree with flagnine though, the item icons should not overlap the border.. if only we can use pngs for the item icons.. it will surely get rid of that ugly white box on the icons Attachments:

Something angsty, like blood splatter. Alternatively, a nice view, probably from the top of a cliff. Regardless, I like the start.
On a related note, is there any significance regarding the assistants? (This is directed at Daisy, not Redcape).

i like the blue and it won't clash with the yellow background of the title screen like red or green would.

i like the blue and it won't clash with the yellow background of the title screen like red or green would. If that was directed at me, as blood is red and most landscape is green, I was offering suggestions, as Redcape asked, as to what we should replace the yellow background with. If not, excuse my faulty deductions.

@swordwind okay, will try to search matching background from your suggestion
one think though.. guys, what do you think of the assistant silhouette? is it necessary or should it be just the text only? i feel that the fairy (cirno) silhoutte isn't good enough...
hmm, i noticed that Otherwold is inspired from Celtic mythology.. maybe i should make the logo more Celtic themed...

it was a general comment with the current yellow background as a basis. red and greens for the letters would clash with yellow where as the blue wouldn't.
about your comment In general I am against blood splatter of any kind. I find it tacky. using an overview of the town wouldn't be a bad idea tho. but a blue or purple would still be a good idea for the lettering.

The silhouettes are well done. I don't mind if you drop them, but I hardly think it's necessary.
You might have difficulty making it Celtic-themed. What did you have in mind?

I like the silhouettes personally.
If your thinking of making it more Celtic maybe just try changing the font style. to look like Celtic knots and give them a stone appearance.

i'm thinking of making borders or modify the logo text with this celtic-styled knot and maybe adding and editing this what do you think?

Bordering with the knot would probably be easier, and wouldn't invalidate any of the work you've already done.
I like the first crest more than the second.

First off the title screen was something I built in 5secs to hide the porn behind at work. The coloring means nothing... and i really thought it was ugly.
The assistants.... I wanted assistants I could write stories too, that would have there own plot and that were not human. Also that each assistant would have a special ability that only that assistant would give.
While you will be able to have other assistants or the same ones later on they won't have the plot. Only the free assistant at the start will change how the game is played. Was my hope. We shall see.
The knots look like a cool idea.
