How would I decrease my project size, my game isn't that big and I'm already over 20mb and still have a lot more to grow. Is there tips or trick someone can share? Thanks

    Hey. Best way to do it is optimize image sizes. Check how big they are and if they need to be that size. In Mac you can open your image with preview, go to edit, adjust size and you have most likely decreased already the filesize.

    Sorry, I referred to the actual images within your game project...
    There are 2 ways to do so.

    1. Right click on your project, show package content, images and there you go.
    2. Way and maybe Easier for you: edit the image files, decrease their sizes and then drag and drop them into the gamesalad image organizer and choose "replace"

    After looking again

    Stellardrone_-Billions_And_Billions.m4a 24.3MB
    Stellardrone    -_Billions_And_Billions.m4a.m4a 24.3MB (it´s a copy of the one above)
    T-Virus.m4a 21.4 MB

    So there you go

    Cool thanks, I think I send you a message did it go through? About adding you to a follower or a friends list

    I received the message, thanx. But I'm quiet new to this forum myself. So I can't tell you for sure :-)

    ok i dropped about 31mb off by just down sizing the images, but i'm still at 77mb i was at 108mb is that normal or is there something else I can look into to get it down even lower?

    Difficult to say without knowing the project.... I use different image types depending on actor types, dpi and resolutions max twice actors size, that should already do a lot

    I had a closer look.... you Sound files are very large. Sounds alone have 71 MB. Images and everything else is fine.

    If you really want to decrease the file size for your project, check your sounds and music. maybe you can change some sounds for some smaller files.
