Crud, I'm probably going to split this post off from all the way at the top as soon as I can think about it 
Oh well, just announcing there are also a number of items in DoM I will probably want to rework graphically. I think but I'm not sure Tom or someone ripped a lot of these out of KF1?? The keys definitely remind me of KF1 at least.
Speaking of which, I think a very noble project would be to setup a database for all the different items (well the ones that warrant it at least) which have appeared in KF games including the SOM KF1 remake. Like the moonlight and triple-fang. Only instead of making the models from the different games different items. Instead I think we should just make them all the same item, except change the graphics for each presentation style. Then we can put all of the items from each style into different folders. And then say we could make a SOM game, and if all the items in the games had a doppleganger for each style, we could flip out the style of the game on the fly, and that would just be freaking awesome I think. It would be like getting 3 or 4 games for the price of one. And with each addition to the database, we would actually be improving the graphics potentials of old games. Like say we even got as far as ripping KF4's graphics, you could toss all of that into a folder, and basically voila, DoM or whatever would look like KF4 without actually changing DoM the game one bit.
PS: Maybe someone in Japan ripped those KF1 items and converted them to SoM, but either way, at least someone knows how, so then we know we can figure it out too.... and therefore we definitely should work on that when we get a chance. Might as well start with the first game I think in building a database/graphics repository. I'm kinda game to get cracking on the AC1 games myself.
