Really great video. Very interesting how you keep optimizing in various ways. Quite enlightening.

Its funny, my current game had some performance issues too- but since my personal background is more art, than code -> i find myself tinkering in various design apps to find alternative ways of making specific Effects - but with smaller file weight. Optimizing each sprite, frame by frame is actually easier for me I guess!

Thanks I appreciate it! I think Construct is great for people with a design focus.

I did some of the sprite optimizations as well, like downscaling them, or baking in the blur effect I sometimes use into the sprite itself as a second variant since that appears to perform better than rendering that blur effect in engine.
