Here's the link again to Pepe's 975 MB optimized 0.5.3 version from a few pages back.

Just a quick heads up on this.
Boom has a high quality and a low quality version both of which are larger than what Pepe was able to do. Pepe's version is best described as a 'very slightly lower quality', it's mainly just optimizing the encoding of the .pngs better. And Boom's low quality version is still about 1400 Megs (in two packages via the Patreon site), where Pepe has lowered it to 975 MB. Pepe also optimized the .webm movies by removing the unused audio tracks, which saves some additional space as well.
Due to the nature of how Honey Select models and Boom's backgrounds are built (i.e. less texture resolution than say Daz generated models/backgrounds), I seriously doubt that anyone will notice any difference whatsoever with Pepe's efforts here.
Here's a top-bottom comparison thumbnail (click to expand to full size, base image on the top, optimized on the bottom). I'm not seeing the difference (other than the overlay text I added of course)...
I've also attached the 'raw' unoptimized and optimized files for comparison purposes, just in case Photoshop 'adjusted' the encoding of the 'combined' base image in any way.
I'd still like to see a patch version of this download in the next update. It's basically a waste of bandwidth to keep downloading the same images over and over. The patch file could just contain the added/modified files, which would reduce download size considerably, with the same folder structure so that you could just 'drag' the patch folder contents into the main folder, overwriting whichever files were updated and adding the new ones.
Even if you included the entire .js folder (where I'm seeing some changed/added files), well that folder is pretty tiny in comparison to the entire package. It's the images that primarily drive the increasing size of the download.
