But yeah this is a topic I keep coming back to, It could work to make stuff like dynamic colored lighting less jarring, and I find a lot of available stuff too high poly. I want the same textures with some extra volume to them.
I modeled a door to check how it fit the artstyle, with some texture mapping involved, and I believe it does so quite well. If we're being technical this is a continuation of an older effort from 2019 that I abandoned for a variety of reasons.
As well as my older 2019 efforts.
However, one blockers is rather simple: I'm willing to model and texture map (Though I'd probably chip away at it sporadically) but can't be assed to deal with learning unity and dislike dfmods for a couple reasons. Without putting them ingame I can't know the technical aspects I should keep in mind, which could easily mean having to do a lot of menial work later on if I have a dozen models done before finding out.
Which is to say, if someone else wants to add the models ingame (They're freely available to anyone who wants to poke at it; this is about an hour's work anyhow) I'd be quite happy about the collaboration. Alternately, if I had a mod that let me drop models at an overwrite folder to replace flats and objects with them. I've heard that it's possible but annoying, so such a mod might be just streamlining the process.
Of note to anyone who makes normal maps for this: Vanilla resolution doesn't work. I understand the wish to keep it purist, but it's a thing with pixel art and normals in general, pixels indicate sub-pixel information (Metal Slug in particular used this for incredible effect) that just one pixel of normal mapping will heavily conflict with. 2x resolution does the trick.
