Rain World

GOG Release - Build ID 58500446910738020

Original Size: 5.07 GiB
Final Size: 2.72 GiB (Incl. installer)
Ripped Files: None.
Tools used:

Xtool v0.8.9 (Codecs: png, reflate, unity, zlib)
Srep
Lolz
Msc
Oggre

Additional notes:

MSC-related streams are decompressed post-install, due to CRC errors when decompressing. To minimise the size of patch files for the relevant containers, organised and efficient sorting of loose files is recommended, a similar approach was taken for my "Seasons after Fall" compression, more details can be found in my write-up for the title.

Quite happy with how this one turned out, given it's a respectable 12.25% smaller than the currently smallest published results. Despite making the post-install process quite fast, the downside is that the relevant containers are effectively written to disk 3 times (~approx. 5.5 GiB); once to build the oldFile, once for patching to the decompressed newFile, and once to restore the decompressed newFile to the original container. I wanted it to be CRC-perfect, but if additional DLC is released and I have to update my results, I'll experiment with decompressing the containers, as I've had success in the past with having titles accept decompressed *.bundle containers.
