The backgrounds do look a lot nicer now. Good work by the current colorist! I also applaud your final choice of character art style. She looks excellent. Any chance we could have a look at Jake himself? I take it you've sorted out the scale issues with the characters that you reported on in one of the early installments of Adventure Architect?

I would offer that scrolling backgrounds are generally a pain, and that the constant panning as you walk around makes it difficult to appreciate either the backgrounds or the animations. My recommendation would be to go with something like the Monkey Island-style scrolling, where the camera is fixed while you're on one screen, and only scrolls over to the next one when you walk to the edge of the screen. You get the sense of one connected scene without the constant movement.
