Close-up of my Looking Sharp background after optimizing colours. Check the layer setup for an easy Krita workflow.

If you're struggling to achieve the <500kb file size, always remember:
- Reduce colours
Still too big?
- Reduce motion -> Reduce colours


I created this background in Blender, exported the frame sequence, imported as animation into Krita for colour palette optimization (as seen above), exported the frame sequence, built the APNG using Ezgif, selected their optimization option, downloaded the resulting file, uploaded to Tinypng, and finally downloaded the resulting file again, which was <500kb and ready for use on Game Jolt.

Extra tips for the palettize filter layer in Krita:
In the layer's options, I recommend staying with the default colour palette, or creating your own high spectrum + low colour count palette, turn on the dither option, and turn off the alpha option (this will keep semi-transparent pixels, but stop the filter from dithering their alpha levels, instead only dithering the colour information).

Hope this info helps some creators and others who wish to learn more about optimizing their animations.

Five new reward stickers are available for all who place charged stickers on my posts! Also, five returning sleepy cats.

If you didn't master the other stickers in time, they'll return, don't worry.

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

My internet is absolutely terrible today; can hardly do anything. I hope this post gets through!

Here's a doodle that depicts my daily life pretty accurately. (Just kidding. )

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

【No Man's Sky】

Possibly the most barren desert moon I've seen so far. Kind of mesmerizing. I installed a base computer just in case I want to try and build something cool here eventually.

Gou and Saba find themselves in a vast rocky desert. Saba is feeling a bit homesick.
