Known Issues:
The transparency in some artworks isn't working, so the diplomacy logos may look strange.
Weird dialogue problems during tests (?)

The mod is provided as-is. I doubt I'll ever get around to working on it again, but feel free to improve it to your heart's content :)
Still, if there are any game-breaking bugs, you can let me know and I'll try to fix them.

Time spent on the project: ~10hours.
Most artwork was downloaded from derpibooru.org and used without permission. If you see your artwork here and you're not okay with that, contact me and I'll take it out.

Screenshots:





(The artworks look better ingame.)
(Making Screenshots in games as old as this one is a little problematic.)
