Most people have lots of RAM/VideoRAM these days. I think we can use much higher resolution textures.

Yeah memory isn't a problem, only rendering speed and texture quality are (high-res textures viewed from a distance tend to be "shimmery" unless mipmapping is enabled, which causes textures to bleed into each other).

I'd like to upgrade all of Xen's stuff anyway.

Its a recreation of Xenimus (google it) We intend to make the game feel like Xenimus did a long time ago before Xenimus got ruined.

no don't download or play it lol

it's created by one man who sucks at programming and doesn't listen to anyone but himself, won't take any help with the game at all, and has crappy customer service.

We can see if the person who made the 2005 christmas update will let us use their textures, they were really good.
