Mixing together elements of RimWorld and Terraria, the open world survival crafting game Necesse has a huge graphics overhaul update out now.
Work on this graphics overhaul has been going on for over a year, with the developer pulling in two new artists to make it happen. Another great thing about this update being live now, is that the "artists are no longer playing catch-up with the content updates" so we can expect to see much quicker updates and larger updates in future once again.

QuoteThe texture pack will not be supported by the team in future updates, since it would require us to draw every new texture twice in both styles. The community is welcome to pick up support though, and for that reason we have made the mod open source on GitHub
