So they could be several times smaller while looking almost the same, and that's not even getting into things like difference encoding since the bulk of them are almost the same images with slight differences.
Here's the challenge: find an existing VN, and write a little utility to compress it to 1/2th its original size or less while maintaining all the content. You have until the end of the year.
[1] I RE'd the format and wrote a compressor for it, which performed better than the original while decompressing to the exact same data.

What makes crap companies come up with crap formats that compress worse than standard ones? Here's an example: some shit, more shit[1] and shit.

VNs are made by companies who are too poor to animate a story.

Nips have a huge NIH complex. Besides that, their programs pretty much always pure garbage. I've seen VNs that never idle the CPU.
>>19 Heya, Cudder! What about that web browser, you're writing? Any progress on the IDA killer, can it translate x86 64bit exes to readable C/C++ code with little human guidance?
>>18 I'm bot that other guy but I've been browsing /prog/ regularly almost daily for about 7 years and I didn't know he translated VNs. Has he done any decent ones? I stopped reading VNs after G-Senjou because of how horrible it was
It's because they don't want to encourage people to skip the VN and just fap to the CGs instead. That and to make it just a little bit harder on the guys that share CG rips.
Correct, never! VNs are the quick cash grab to get a fat revenue from the neet demographic of absolute losers. No one's gonna put effort into it by extending the experience to one lousy dimension.
