I'm one of the many people who just got the game from the latest Humble Bundle, all my friends enjoyed it, everyone was like "you need to play this", etc. Anyway, I happen to do pixel art kind of sort of for a living so it was on my radar for that reason, and now seeing it up close I realize that the art really isn't very good. Lucky for me all the art is conveniently stored in that .dat file and I've been playing around for a day or two seeing what I can do.
i.e.
I'd like to remake everything and make it a big special project but I'm running into an bit of an obstacle actually getting them back into the game, in that I'm terrible with sensitive technical things like that (don't even get me started on Python). So since I'm new I have two questions-
1. Has someone already done this kind of thing? I looked around and there are a couple specific graphics updates but nothing too big that I could find.
2. If not could I get some clear directions on how to repack the art efficiently (I'm using FTL Dat Manager and it'll only do one file at a time, very unreliably)?
