Hi,

Well the topic says it all, 41mb file, 30mb limit. Yes i could investigate if i can trim those last mb's by compressing images or music even more, but realistically, the game will only get bigger in the long run, so would only be a temporary solution.

Cheers!

Did you strip the libs/binary ?
In my experience, this have a good impact on file-size. Else wait for Craig to upgrade theses limits...

I'm not sure Craig reads this section. Maybe you should send a PM or try to catch him when he posts somewhere else.

Of course I read it.

I'll up the limit to 1GB.

It's done, it's 1GB now, give it a try just incase I've forgotten something. My net connection is too slow to upload a huge file without it taking all afternoon!

Not posting much don't mean you don't read
I was sure you read here, else how would you do any form of customer support

I'll up the limit to 1GB.

Upgrade the screnshot size-limit while you're at it (pretty please)

What do you think the screen shot size should be? 50k is pretty good for 400*240 isn't it? I don't want massive file sizes if it can be helped... optimisation

Sorry, my bad. I wasn't entirely sure, cause you missed the dead batteries

Why is this nice little Game 41MB big? I thought it uses only 8-Bit PNGs or eats the Music/Sound all the Space? ^^"

[notaz]

Of course I read it.

There should be some pending upload right requests too.

Ah great! i'll upload the latest demo soon.

Ah. How far have you played or seen the demo? Because currently the first 4 levels use the same graphics layout, but the 4 after all have different (big) backgrounds and variating clouds and attributes.

Also, this nice little game is still a long way from completion, and there are already different music tracks for every different graphic set (5 sets implemented currently), tracks for levels with <1min timelimit, levels with 1 - 1.5 min timelimit, and 1.5 to 2 minute lmits. All loaded automatically depending on set and timelimit(if present in the level) Then some graphic sets have unique time limit tracks, the credits screen has a track, menu has one, etc etc etc.

This is a really terrific game, by the way!

BTW, craigix, "my bad" is an American way of saying "I was wrong" .. its sort of childish, meant to be said with a curled lower-lip, a bit dum-dum cute ..

^ Craig was joking, we had this discussion already

[torpor]

Oh .. my bad.
