If it wouldn't have any compression it would be way bigger than 4.something GB.This game is getting so big that it would make sense to make an official, compressed version. No Ren'Py game should be 4+ GB, not even with video. It's a sign of bad optimization. It is totally unnecessary to have practically uncompressed images/videos in a game.
I've started playing that one at the last version... I fell bad about some dialogs with Fiona, if you choose Fiona dom route you will be treated like shit, if you choose the sub one you treat her like shit sometimes... Why theres no love route with Fiona? Thats sad... Shes a nice character, she looks like one that need to be protected...
seems so.Judging by the Changelog I would assume that this update focuses more on those who followed the route of sharing/whoreing out someone to the massage/brothel place. Am I correct?
latter reqs that mc attends school.I can´t trigger the Fiona mall update nor Rachel bullying at school for some reason...
Not working for some reason I'm afraidlatter reqs that mc attends school.
Maybe. I haven't conducted a test.If it wouldn't have any compression it would be way bigger than 4.something GB.![]()
The dev uses webp format for the renders, so thats already a huge chunk of size less than it would be with png's.Maybe. I haven't conducted a test.
But it is still relatively low in compression ratio. If you take a look, you'll see that the compressed version is well under 1 gigabyte. And you have to look pretty hard to notice the extra compression (on a 1080p monitor).
You also need to consider that a lot of users here actually require compressed versions due to their internet quality/measurement. And it would be better of the compressions were official, right?
I wanna know this tooA have some questions about the choice for the Harry event this update.

I just go to check the images folder of the game. The actual release have 12 124 renders for 4.7 GB. For me is a really nice job. I have lot worse than that. I see game to the same size with under 1 000 renders.The dev uses webp format for the renders, so thats already a huge chunk of size less than it would be with png's.
Can it be compressed further? Always but you have to keep in mind that it is the dev's business and if he isn't happy with how it looks when it's further compressed, it's his choice. Sure a official compression is always better because a dev will most likely pay more attention to the quality, but like i said if thats the lowest he is willing to go you have to live with it and the unofficial compressed version.
Your reasoning that it would be barely visible is not the best argument to make since most people who frequent this site and play these games don't see the difference between low quality and high quality most of the time either way.
