Roll away baby. Roll away forever. Group: Members Posts: 23782 Member No.: 47 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	My project is getting big really fast, mostly from audio. I'm trying to compress as much as I can, but nothing is working. How big would you be willing to go for a fangame download? Games have gotten really huge recently, and I'm curious about people's limits. -------------------- end of line

Mario series' gals = #1! Group: Members Posts: 700 Member No.: 3100 Joined: 22-December 06 Status: (0d)	I'm beginning to wonder that myself, seeing that on the main site -- they'll only accept game content that's no more than 15MB in size. My first fangame has closed in on the 15MB mark, but I think that using the WinZip utility should compress it so it'll be accepted.

Because retarded looking women is fun. :S Group: Members Posts: 3589 Member No.: 5004 Joined: 6-March 08 Status: (0d)	15 MB seems way too low. I've just almost halfway done with my 2nd world in my platformer, and already, that's 3MB used. 15 MB may also be a reason we don't get many RPGs on the mainsite, because RPGs take tons of work and sprites and crap.

not quite your greatest expectations. Group: Members Posts: 812 Member No.: 4762 Joined: 23-November 07 Status: (0d)	I'd download pretty much anything, but if it's a rather large download, it would have to be worth the download. (I don't always have the fastest internet.) --------------------
