I created a repo for it here. https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare-hdcore
We'll only add art sources to that repo when they differ substantially from the flare-game/art_src data. E.g. just changing the render resolution inside a Blender file isn't a substantial change.
Let's create an HDCore art mod for flare-game.
Flare is set up to support a minimum 640x480 resolution. If we simply double everything that's 1280x960 -- which would be a great UI and asset size for anyone playing at 1080p or above.
We shouldn't pack HDCore in with flare-game. It should be an optional download, maintained outside of this repo.
I figure HDCore can start by scaling all of the images to 2x size, then slowly going through and creating new HD art and rendering tiles/sprites at 2x size. Already we have the icons easily accessible at 64px size, which is where the mod can begin.
Some things won't look good at double resolution -- it will be obvious that the sprites and tiles are poorly textured. But over time we can update those with improved quality art.
