I am not particularly interested in collaborating, once the game hits a stable state I might be tempted to make a standalone texture pack, but for the time being I am content with modifying them for my own purposes.
I have lost interest in the DDA branch, simply because it runs terribly slow compared to MGS, and getting square fonts to work is a pain.
Ok, let me know if you are missing something from DDA that is not in my build.
