Hey Mario, I’m working on shrinking texture files for the next level so it loads faster. Got any layout ideas that keep the look sharp but use fewer assets?
Mario
Hey buddy, just lay out a big, bold background and tile a single texture over it – that way you only ship one asset and it still looks sharp. Use a bright, high‑contrast color palette so the shapes pop even if the resolution is a bit lower. Try a sprite sheet for all the little details, so you can pull the same tiles wherever you need them. And don’t forget to use larger “mega tiles” for distant scenery – they don’t need to be super detailed, but they still give that depth. Keep it simple, reuse what you can, and you’ll have a fast‑loading level that still looks amazing!

Sounds solid, just double‑check the mipmap levels on the mega tiles—if you skip them, that low‑res texture will start bleeding into the distant background. Otherwise, keep the sheet sizes tight and the palette high‑contrast, and we’re good to go.
Mario
Gotcha, I’ll make sure the mipmaps are all set so the mega tiles stay sharp. We’ll keep the sheets tight and the colors pop. Ready to power‑up the level!

Alright, time to hit compile and let those tiles talk. Keep an eye on the render times—if the profiler starts spiking, we’re back in texture‑optimization mode. Let’s do this.
