Especially in KOTOR, with it's theming you feel all the planets are 'broken' in some way and it shows in their appearance. It's the most realistic take on the SW universe I've ever seen without losing the magic so to speak. Yeah, that's totally fair- but as you say, it can only be taken so far without starting to replace models etc, but I will say, what I mean is less adhering to the exact designs present in KOTOR 1 & 2, and more the atmosphere- KOTOR 2 for example is very renowned for feeling grey, gritty, and looking that way in some respects. I can't wait to see what both games look like in 2026 when you're done. Good luck, your work is truly phenominal. Also, for certain textures I remember you once said XNVIEW was required, but I've often found turning them upside down achieves the same affect.

Oh! And please keep the fishes behind the Swoop manager, that was amazing. If I must give you one piece of advice it's not to you use that Twi'lek graphic you created or anything like it, as nice as it is- it really takes you out of the immersion when you see a character model that's clearly too high poly to be actually anywhere within the world. I'm particularly interested in how you'll handle a planet like Dxun, that's mainly a forest.

I took another look at your V1 and V2 Telos, and I only wish we could have both, as each looks phenominal.

That means for me you should feel your in the Star Wars universe on every corner of the game - as I said above, now i finally have enough resources to get the inspiration from to do that - a bit like the SWTOR overhaul back then but with a much greater pool of realistic designs to draw on. When talking about designs, I completely understand that going for non Star Wars games like Mankind Divided is not a good idea, things should feel authentic after all. (if you want to see how it looks first hand i could send you some files too) What we can do is to be inspired by Games like above and make textures from scratch which is much better in my opinion than just 1:1 using the vanilla designs & colors. E.g.В something like Resident Evil 2 Remake - which is something totally out of reach for KotOR though. I've taken a look atВ Halo 2 Anniversary, and while its good, i feel it could/should have been taken further.ДЇor me, if you're talking about a 'perfect' overhaul = Remake. I think for example, Halo 2 Anniversary is the perfect way to do such an overhaul. I liked your old Telos better in some ways, I understand you're trying to modernise the game(s) but I think straying too far from the atmosphere of the original version is a mistake.
