🕑 Added 2024-03-15 16:11:31 +0000 UTCOk the last post with the poll for screen size has caused some confusion (mostly because I didn't define the options very well). That's entirely my fault and I apologize.
Firstly, the desire to get the size below one gigabyte is for mobile users. If the images and audio are crunched then the game will load faster and be more responsive to less powerful devices. In addition, some platforms like itch.io prefer the game to be below one gigabyte and some phones balk at apps over one gigabyte.
That said, I have no plans on crushing the images into a muddled mess to get to this goal. If there is going to be any quality loss in the crunch, I will definitely make two versions available (crunched and uncrunched).
Lastly, I am not doing this anytime soon. I'm too busy working on the story right now. The poll was intended to give me an idea of how to tackle the issue when I got to it. I added to the confusion by saying "I am working on..." when I should have said "I will be working on..." and that's my bad.
Hopefully that clears up the confusion I caused. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks all. I appreciate you!

A simple download server isn't that hard to set up at home, and a url to go with it is really cheap at namecheap.com. Like 30 euro's per year. The download server itself wouldn't need to be more than a Raspberry Pi. A small hard disk being optional.
