Those clouds look a lot better!
You should! It's in my top tier of RPGs. Yes I have an RPG tier list. For the time, it had an amazing level of exploration for an RPG. I remember 20 years ago or so, flying around for hours in my ship trying to find new discoveries, haha. Could also be nostalgia though. It's also pretty lighthearted, which is unique for me. I usually enjoy more complex, darker games.
Thanks for the compliment on the clouds. I'm branching out here for the first time; I usually only retexture UI elements and maybe some armor/weapons. Environments are really scary to me, and I've actually learned a lot about drawing/painting clouds. I've already improved enough since starting a month ago or so on them, that I'm almost tempted to go back and redo some of the ones I started out on , haha. There is also one texture that is pretty much a slightly edited stock photo of a cloud pattern that I've used as one of the "main" cloud textures that I'm working up the nerve to replace with a custom pattern. Using stock photos of any sort is something I like to avoid.
Thanks again for adding the option to not dump mipmaps! I've already used it a ton. My other side project is creating an encyclopedia of sorts for all the textures, as well as a save archive. Not dumping all those extra textures saves tons of time waiting for my hdd to sort, as well as not having to constantly delete them. Like I mentioned in the other thread, probably gonna add a few more years of life to the hdd as well.
