You are looking for a pixel artist then, sorry but i cant help there, try the 2d forum, also there are many projects trying to redo the original Xcom, you should have a look at their assets.
I think you are missing the point Anonymous from above, he wants to do everything himself, so getting graphics from other place would only disturb the game due to lack of homogenity in graphics, also i really doubt selecting races will do little more than adding a tiny bit of variety, especially since it would involve doing portraits and models for each race, sex AND class. Too much work for just being able to select human, elf or wathever. Think its just one person working on it as a hobby, but i agree with the rest of your opinions. I also loved Arcanum.
Just my opinion, but i would choose trying to finish the current game.
The reason, at least in my case, is that if you try to create a really flexible framework, you are expending lots of time just doing it. Im sure your drive when you started was to create a "single" game, thus you are starting to loose sight of your original goal, and your determination goes down, since your advancements towards it are pretty slow (at least in a superficial level) you start feeling like your not really achieving it.
My advice, leave that engine documented and "modular" enough to be used in the future and center yourself on finishing the actual game, rationally thinking, just one game is a huge amount of work, to finish it is a true achievement, and you are already worrying about the future ones?
I aprove it. Sounds fun

Cant you use photoshop color replacement and saturation? that would be the easiest if they are stored as some kind of image (which i suppose is true)

Finally! Thanks for sharing it Skorpio!!
At this rate i think we can release that cutie robots game
Damn you Skorpio, now i feel i have to do that version as well... i kind of hate and love it at the same time
I never expected it to look cute... , i tried to make it look like some kind of wheeled wood oven, but that it ended like that is a good thing :)
Also i plan to color it bronze/copper, that color fits steampunk better than steel.
Thanks for your feedback.
redoing it a little ATM, will show shortly
