I say that because I really appreciate the diversity and the simple, fast, non-grindy mechanics!
Thanks, that's exactly what I was aiming for and I'm glad you noticed enough to say it.
When you play a fap game, nothing kills the momentum for a player more than grinding points to get to the next scene. I never want to do that in the games I make. I think it's lazy and the opposite of fun.

8 Days with the Diva [v1.0.0] - Transparent Compression

This is a compression, compared to the automated compression by tools like UAGC which lowers quality.

In contrast, I've manually cleaned up unused files and done extensive testing to ensure that this compression is perceptually indistinguishable from the original. Unless you're pixel-peeping at 400% zoom you'll not notice any difference in image quality.

Technical details
I removed all unused, cached and compiled Renpy files. All sounds and images were manually compared and parsed to the entire script to remove unused files. There were many leftovers from the development of the game. They were then converted to the most efficient file formats Renpy currently supports for best quality/size.

Sounds were converted to 128k bitrate opus.
Images were put through extensive testing with varying levels of quality and compared so as to be indistinguishable from the original. I was conservative, choosing quality over lower size.
They were converted to cq-level 8, 4:4:4, 10-bit , at best possible efficiency (speed 0, jobs(threads) 1).

Finally, the script were changed in necessary places to facilitate the converted media. I've gone to great lengths to make as little changes as possible and make it compatible with my walkthough/gallery mod. You should be able to apply those on top of this compressed version.

Please report any problems. I've tested it, but things could have slipped through the cracks.

Summary
Game v1.0 is 898MB.
This compressed version is 382MB, at no perceived quality loss.

Go here for update.

Is your Mod compatible with this compression?

Do I have to manually finish all the endings to unlock them? walkthough mod works just fine but the gallery doesn't
Yes. As per visual novel convention, you need to view an ending before you unlock it.
You shouldn't need the gallery mod though unless you want the simpler UI from it, since v1.1.0 of the game included one from the dev.
But please ask mod questions in the mod thread.

The keyword is compressed, not compression.
Since the links for compressed versions were no longer maintained in op by mods, search has become the way to go about it.
It's necessary to maintain a consistent/uniform standard keyword to easily get compressed versions through the search function
Compressed seems to have won as the keyword used by most compressors.
Use the keyword alongside the game name & version to make it easier for ppl to find it.
See here:
1001179620.jpg Your earlier post looks like an discussion while your this post is not even showing up.
Try to emulate the other compressors to maintain an uniform method of getting the compressed versions without having to manually search the thread, or bother ppl by asking "Where's the compressed version?" (Which ppl do despite there being an easy way to find compressed posts)

Thanks for the compresions & also the 2 options.
Manual compression sounds interesting, but also like a lot of work. o_O (y)
