When I tried removing the duplicates and repacking the files with default settings, the size dropped from 226.6MiB to 64.5MiB.
That aside, they’re beautiful pieces and I’ll probably wind up using them for the non-competitive mode in a game I’m picking away at. (Sort of a Lode Runner-esque game with more acrobatic movement and fixed-pattern monsters to make the levels more puzzle-y, where I want to experiment with procedural generation and a multiplayer race mode.)
Thanks! I will be more mindful of how I package my files in the future. At some point I may go back and redo the others, but I'm in the middle of a stressful move right now.
No problem. I have projects of my own that I’ve been struggling to find time to give some TLC to for over a year, so I know the feeling.
(The only reason I’m poking at developing a game right now is that, unlike my more mature projects, it sometimes meets the “whatever I’d find relaxing right now” criteria for my leisure breaks.)
