[DEVBLOG#51] Vanilla Textures Expanded announced!
Added 2020-03-01 16:49:38 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to this announcement post!
With a small team of artists we've been working tirelessly for the last couple of days trying to deliver... well... this:
Those of you who are on our Discord probably got a chance to play-test this already, those who haven't, take a look at some Gifs that showcase changes to vanilla textures:
These are not all the textures that we've changed - in fact it's not even a quarter of the improvements we made. We have redrawn from scratch over 300 textures, this time in Adobe Illustrator - a vector program allowing us for much higher quality output.
Your game will never look blurry again!
Stay tuned for more updates and a potential release date.

Thanks for explaining, I'm sure you're right and I just haven't noticed anything. So look forward to seeing the difference :)
2020-03-02 19:02:08 +0000 UTCPerhaps you are just used to seeing the textures that you don't notice that they are blurry - but they are, and trust me that a difference will be very much visible. It will also work very nicely with a Camera+ mod - as when zoomed in, vanilla furniture and weapons will have the same level of detail and polish as the ones added by Vanilla Expanded mods.

2020-03-02 12:50:10 +0000 UTCStupid question maybe (but I'm paying so I should be allowed to be dumb :)) but are these relevant to everyone or is it just for those playing on really high resolutions? I'm playing on 1920x1080 and haven't really experienced any blurry textures, so not sure if this mod would make a difference for me?
2020-03-02 10:47:33 +0000 UTCI personally think that the only style that fits Rimworld is the style it already has. You can get royal furniture with our Furniture mod - these tables look a bit more fancy. As for the retexture - it’s mostly just upgraded quality of graphics. This way I don’t alter anything people gotten used to.

What bugs me most are the boring graphics of tables, chairs and the like. Is this just a HD retexture of all textures or have you also redesigned, e.g. furnitures? I know that Gloomy Vanilla does that but I don't think its style fits the main RimWorld theme and it adds further items.
