Here's a (99.9%) complete texture pack for my favourite game of all time ╰(•̀ 3 •́)━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ
Notes...
- Some of the UI is upscaled, but some looked bad no matter what. I left those pixel'y.
- 85% was done with Real-ESRGAN-x4plus, something that ended up being.. iffy.
- I went back and redid a lot of locations with UltraMix-Balanced, but not all.
- Those impossibly tiny and dark treasure chests are now white/yellow (ง˙▿˙)ง
- Font looks great except during story bits (which I don't think upscaling can fix.)
:!: Recommended game settings (Right click game > Properties)...
- Graphics > Display > Crop: 1px 1px 1px 1px (Removes black line)
