Hi. I noticed that the 0.3 release has a file size smaller than the 0.2 release. Is the 0.3 release an addon? or is it the complete game? If it's the complete game, how is it smaller than the 0.2 release?

Sorry for the late response but it's a full release. There's a few reasons that the file size is smaller despite having almost double the content of 0.2.

The main one is that 0.1 and 0.2's images were rendered in 4k and renpy automatically resized them to 1080p. Because of this, the image files took up a lot of space. I manually resized everything to 1080p with this release so that renpy wouldn't have do it and I could shrink the games file size while keeping high image quality. I still render everything in 4k though and shrink it down to 1080p. Despite it sounding like it would be the same as if I just rendered in 1080p, rendering in 4k then shrinking it does lead to slightly better images
