We’re looking forward to next-generation game engines benefiting from GDeflate by dramatically reducing loading times. First, the original data stream is segmented into 64 KB tiles, which are processed independently. This also enables random access to the compressed data at tile granularity.

Oftentimes the artists don’t do a whole lot, and that’s because the game engine themselves has programming that you can call on, functions you can use that will generate that kind of effect. So it’s a lot easier for a game engine to generate them and render them efficiently if it’s done with code.

At different parts of the bridge there were investment tiles, so on a basic level the premise was kind of, “do I move to a relatively unsafe investment tile, or do I BUMP?” Part of the inherent “engine” of a card game is drawing cards from a deck and hoping to get a good hand. This sounds stupid.
