So this is currently just a general idea if people are interested. The idea is to add a few extra doodads, items, characters and tweeks using the current textures to make a few nice additions.
Basically the point is not to make all new graphics and replacements but to enhance the current textures and make some useful items for everyone to use.
This is currently what I've created from the current assets.

On the right are special diamond color shapes, this will save a lot of extra doodads if you want to have diagonal walls and such.
All of these have custom minimap setting and perfectly fit in the game including the shadow for the doorway.
So really that's the idea, I haven't had to draw anything new just tweek and manipulate the existing artwork to create a few simple additions that anyone can use.
The idea is other things that can be added such as a premade chest with say a random rune inside or made to drop a certain key only. It could even be other things like making extra enemies with the existing enemy artwork and giving them other skills like an archer with a blink skill.
