So many great games here, hot damn!

My solo dev game following Anna's Quest is The Big Hollow: 1982, a grounded, dark & atmospheric serial killer murder mystery inspired by real processes and procedures. Golden Idol meets The Silence of the Lambs. No AI!

Ohh well, speaking of hi res 2D in unity, I'm curious to know - how much compression do you use on your images? I've opted for barely any, but only getting away with it since mine's a relatively small title. These look utterly gorgeous! Can't imagine it's too much compressing... right?
