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!

In interstellar space flight this approach has been the modus operandi more or less since the first interplanetary voyage - especially with response delays ruling out interactive communication anyway
