When we posted this thread Bad Randolph and I had holidays and lots of time to
work on this, thats why we made fast progress during this time. I'm working now
and just like Bad Randolph said, you need to take your time doing textures and I
don't have that much time
at the moment. Of course we're both still doing this
retexture with the same enjoyment like when we started it. And furthermore this
pack will be finished, that's for sure. That there can't be consistent progress
all the time should be self-evident.
In addition to the first compare website I made a second for highres pictures now
(best viewed on a large screen of course):

The planet zebes in the last pics does not have its new background at the moment.
To return to the aspect ratio problem at 1080p here is a screenshot taken at
1920x1080px fulllscreen mode. Its slightly smaller because I cut off the black edges.
But what you can clearly see is that it gets distorted in width. I never find it
annoying during gameplay but maybe this could be fixed by some video plugin one day?
And last but not least a short video showing the new ground texture in planet zebes.
During gameplay it will look like the metal surface is reflecting the map
more stuff is coming

stay tuned!
