Ah Gosh...

What do you do when a project is too big? I started working on one, and I'm in love with it, but it's too big, and I'm not even halfway done. X'D

I guess I'll have to take out some stuff? Shorten sound files?

You can compress images too.

That doesn't help much though, and makes images look really bad  tongue

It doesn't? A time ago it compressed a 30 MB project to a 10 MB project.  tongue

Re: Ah Gosh...

I'm not a fan of compressing because it reduces the quality loads

Just take some of the audio out, that's why it's so big. Audio isn't really necessary in games (I mean you can keep like one song if you want but yeah)

Yeah, I agree. But if you have to, you have to.

I tend to make all my graphics so compressing them would be one ugly project.

Re: Ah Gosh...

Try compressing and if it's still too big then I guess you'll have to delete some images or sounds

Re: Ah Gosh...

The project can't be over 10 MBs big. Even if you're halfway done. Compressing sounds and images can solve that problem. Look for information on the Wiki.  smile
