3. NPCs

Well continuing from my previous posts, I am now trying to populate the town with NPCs. Searching around I found that the few character packs should do it. But which 1 will suit my needs? For me I would need a pack that would allow me to populate a reasonably large number of NPCs with as little extra art work as possible. I decided on Frogames' CS:Warriors and Commoners. The other pack I considered was the MACK, but it doesn't come with as much ready-made skins and stuff. CS has a decent number of good animations, items and skins. I was able to easily customized multiple characters quickly.
The only issue in my opinion is its a little low on the number of polies (abt 1000 per char). Which is not really a big issue since the art quality makes up for it. The other thing is it contains only males. Yes, what I have now is a all-male town.

Base on some comments in my previous blog, the town looks too clean, so also in the process of 'dirtying' the textures.
Later.
