Dont focus on the size ... it´s the damn PNG image file format
... those ~4500 images in JPG (or even WEBP) would be around 2GB ... which is still
IMPRESSIVE for 0.1 version.
Hopefully the dev of this game will show mercy and convert the images to JPG ...
The quality would not really suffer with 100% (or even 90%) quali setting ... how many guys here have an 4k monitor + GPU to recognize those minimal artifacts ... not to mention that they see each picture for just a couple seconds (incl reading the text) ?
*edit*
there is not even the need for code changes if windows "cmd" is used to rename all images to *.png (command: "rename ***/game/images/*.jpg ***/game/images/*.png" )
*edit*
But I´m gonna download it for sure ... it locks definetly interesting ...
I just wait for an compression hero
