I'm not sure whether this is the correct spot to discuss this. Just out of curiosity used optipng on all the png-assets in the data folder from the latest trunk.

find . -iname "*.png" -exec optipng -nc -nb -o7 {} \;

First the size of the data folder was 395M. After optimizing the filesize it was "only" 387M. In total 36174 files got changed.

Did you consider this to decrease the size of the installer and the game itself? I know that in total it is only a reduction of about 2-3%, but maybe worthwhile..

I always thought that we're already doing that.. Nice discovery.

There is a python script which does png optimization automatically. It uses also optipng. Don't know when it was last run though...

Maybe we should add using the script in the release plan ?
