How do I Optimize better with Graphics?

Hey all,

I am looking for some tips on optimizing the graphic sizes as my graphic files are bit huge at present for a game. I use loads of 3D, render as PNG, work in Photoshop and again save it as PNG. If someone has better options, please hit below.

What tool you use and how much size you get for your bg and Icons approximately.

I'm using " Save for web " inside Photoshop to make it bit smaller.

How many images do you have in your game and how much the totally size of the game?

A0Nasser I have just 3 layouts --> 3 Bgs and around 10 to 12 btns overall. I also have 3 animations in the entire game in which around 70 sprites overall. Overall sprites size is around 8 MB, after C2 optimizes and all, the C2 file comes out as around 5 MB. After exporting Crosswalk, Game size is 25MB. And it is just a simple game with a clean AI. Image is where I could get attention on!!

Do you have sounds in your game?

Nope. But will add soon.

5MB doesn't seem like a lot of graphics. Most of the overhead is the crosswalk engine, and you're not going to be able to do anything about that.

FYI, C2 re-compresses your graphics on export by default. For maximum compression, select brute.

TiAm Yeah!. I just came to know about that crosswalk takes much from my friend recently, but still looking for some possible ways to reduce the size. Anyways thanks for the tip though, will use it.
