Is this pack still being worked on? I'd like to see this project to 100% completion. Who's to say that this game will ever get an HD remake. I love this game because it's the closest thing to a "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" video game.

Hello guys,
This seems like an awesome project, SOA is my favorite game of all time. Thank you for the work you've done so far! 02-04-2020, 07:55 PM

Thanks for trying out the pack! Also for letting us know about the links, I think Bighead is planning on adding some more mirrors soon. He's been cleaning up his files and organizing everything for a while now.
As far as the pack goes, we aren't and haven't actively been working on it for a few years. I've been busy with children and work and life, and Bighead has his life and all of his other projects. I still contribute small amounts of stuff to some of his other projects if there's anything he needs help on that is a little below his pay grade, so to speak . It's been over a year now since I've worked on anything texture related at all. We usually speak daily on discord, and often consider returning to this pack at some point. We're pretty sure it will never get a legit HD remake, and both of us consider it one of our favorite RPGs. The problem is that most of the remaining stuff would be environment related, which is a relative weak point for both of us. I still think there are some faces that need to be worked on, but that's mostly in Bighead's corner and he knows it, haha. Most of my contributions to Bighead's projects are UI elements and icons, which are relatively simple compared to a lot of things Bighead can do. So, in short, if Bighead decides he wants to start this back up, I'm down to help him where I can. But because we both know he'll be the one doing the majority of the hard stuff, it will mostly be up to him. 03-26-2020, 09:22 PM

So I am "kind of" working on this a little bit again. Due to self-quarantine, I thought I'd spend a little time replaying the game when I get some free time. I'm going to finish my "Dumpedia" I started on before, which will be an organized collection of every texture in the game dumped with a save file in each section to be able to test textures relatively quickly. I will also be cherry picking files that I think myself and possibly Bighead will be likely to retexture, and put them aside for later use.
I have already started retexturing a few of the sky and cloud textures, although I've quickly noticed that even the base textures aren't aligned properly in some instances. It can be hard to notice them when they are so low res to being with, but redrawing them makes it stand out. I will do the best I can in these instances, but some of them are impossible to fix.

Hope you have fun and looking forward to seeing the results 04-16-2020, 07:00 AM
