Novel compression method: we take all the textures in the game and describe them as AI image generation prompts.
Then, at load time, we run the generative image AI on the user's computer and thus generate them fresh.

The text descriptions are tiny compared to the images, so we get amazing gains in file size!

@foone in college we were taught neural networks by having to write a compression algorithm that taught a model the specific image, then to restore the image we'd just ask the model to generate said image
