I want to start with the game's menus, backgrounds & loading pictures first...
I would suggest high resolution (1920x1440) jpgs, which the engine can downscale if people running lower resolutions & upscale for the few running higher ones
...
Best for the menus would be our 3d engine rendering the background imho, but that can also wait
I hope it is okay for everyone here, if I start experimenting on some new upgraded styles not forgetting about the roots of this project, but showing visually from the first moment that we are developing 2.4 now ?!
Fresh gfx will showcase our progress with UFO:AI for everyone knowing the old version from the first moment starting the new one !
