Project file size problem

Hi guys :)

I'm just wondering if having a project(the project folder) with at least 30-50mb would cause problems when uploading it to a website?

Are there any sites that would host a file with that size for free?

My project currently has a single stage and already amounts to 4mb, and I plan to do 9 more stages.

Thanks :)

Dropbox offers 2GB for free, and you can also export project to dropbox to test them

Hi majikk

Having a 50MB project might cause issues while downloading your game - users might have to wait quite a bit of time, before they can play.

Several workarounds here:

1) If you are creating a multimedia-heavy game, consider releasing it as an executable with NodeWebkit/Cocoon etc.

2) Create a smart loader with a mini-game, that will keep the player busy until the main part downloads

3) For audio, use lower bitrates to keep file sizes smaller.

Your node-webkit solution will be *smaller* than the web-export, if you use a lot of sounds - as Node-Webkit only needs an OGG format, while regular web-export will have to keep wider compatibility and use multiple sound formats.

Cheers,
