MCR-XXXX Update sprites and use new icon for unlockables

[jasonlwj]

Mainly just the icons in the menu/overlay. Also some of the factions as well. Didn't really touch the units and tiles on the board (might get to it later though)

Couple of things at a glance:

• Need to merge main in.
• It looks like you've got a newer version of Pyxel than what's defined in the requirements.txt, so you can either rollback your version (but that may mean that you need to re-do your changes - not fun), or update the requirements version to yours, but there have been changes to the display sizing in the time between the versions, so you'll also need to add display_scale=5 to the pyxel.init() call if you choose that. (Currently you can't actually run the game at all)
• All the icons look amazing, but I think the fortune one looks a bit too much like a health icon for my tastes, not sure how you'd alter it though.

My reaction to that information:

I think you'll need to update the README with new screenshots of the new sprites in action 😂

Yeah I mentioned that when we were at Belle's lol

Regarding the fortune icon, I turned it into some sort of a gem thingo Here's how it looks in game:

Is this actually needed? I'm running the game on pyxel==1.9.0 and I can run the game fine without this parameter

[ChrisNeedham24]

I don't mind the gem icon tbh, but my only problem is that a couple of the faction logos were based on the previous one, so they might look out of place now. Not sure, though.

For the display_scale thing, it doesn't stop the game from running but the default launch now displays the game much smaller. With the display_scale set to 5, I believe it looks the same as it did previously.

[jasonlwj]

Interesting. Without display_scale set, the game still launches at the same window size for my machine. Will add it though.

Regarding those faction symbols - I'm just throwing some ideas around atm:

The Godless

The Orthodox

The idea being that I'd keep the general shape of the new blessing icon.

[ChrisNeedham24]

So I can't seem to actually run the newer version of pyxel at all on my old laptop (obviously left my desktop at home) so I can't reproduce the display size difference. The fact that I can't run it at all probably also means I won't be able to merge this until next weekend unfortunately. Love the new icons though!

[ChrisNeedham24]

Alright I've reproduced the display size difference between versions 1.6.9 and 1.9.0 of Pyxel:

1.9.0

1.6.9

It's not a huge difference, but when you add display_scale=5, it makes it so the size doesn't change.

So there's just three things left for this one now:

• Adding display_scale=5 to pyxel.init()
• Taking new screenshots for the README
• Changing the faction icons to what you've already suggested

[jasonlwj]

Lol has it already been 24 days Fine i'll get on the screenshots
