Artist: Spedumon Game: Small on Top [v0.45] Upload Date: 2022-01-19 Update Date: 2022-09-27 Twitter: https://twitter.com/spedumon Furaffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/spedumon/ Itch.io: https://spedumon.itch.io/small-on-top/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/spedumon
Game CG included inside the game “Small on Top” (v0.38), all images were originally in 816×624 size, which is quite small.
The latest Real-ESRGAN image restoration model was used to upscale (4.0x, as the training model was designed for) and restore (denoise, restore details) most of the images.
Since some of the pics were pixel art, nearest neighbor algorithm was chosen to upscale them for retaining the texture, please view them in original size, the automatic resize destroy picture quality.
It took Real-ESRGAN around 1 hour to crunch down all 150+ images on my machine (Small input, shorter time).
I also cropped (removed black borders), upscaled (2.0x), and converted three animations to GIFs included inside the game.
All uploaded pics were compressed with PNG compression level 9.

Feel free to re-upload the whole archive elsewhere then share the link, since I'm not sure how long it would stay up in my cloud drive.
Pictures in the archive were compressed using WebP in lossless mode for maximum disk space utilization (nearly 40% reduction compare to PNG with no information loss).
You can use many free image converters to convert them into any file types you like with no quality degradation, I personally like to use XnConvert.
You can also look at them as is, using image viewers like ImageGlass and XnView.
