Downloads and Size Issue (Patreon)

It was brought to my attention whether I could also upload to another online storage site, for some reason you guys had problems with MEGA. Either because it needed you to subscribe i.e. pay it for a better download speed (Although mine seems fine but I suppose it depends on your ISP) or because of other issues.

Now as far back as 0.3 I realised very quickly that the majority of the size of the game file comes from the videos embedded within it. Because of this I knew that it would very quickly get to a larger size by the end. My intention was and still is to keep it under 5GB since that is the mega download limit.

This means of course putting in those movies that are vital to the storyline first and then putting others in. Or deleting old ones with little quality. I'm letting you know I am aware of the issue, it was a rookie mistake for some making a first game.

However I always look for solutions, I'm looking at better compression software and trying to convert the videos to a less sizeable format, since at the moment they are WAV files and there may be a better format with less size out there. I'm also considering Dragonfire's idea of putting pictures in as well as videos. Besides that I'm keeping my eye on it (You wondered why I chose the all seeing eye in my logo? Well there it is, you have to keep an eye on things)

So yes I am aware of the sizing and how big it could become, I am also aware of the need to not put all my eggs in one basket and to upload to another online server as well as MEGA, something like Dropbox and/or google drive (Which I both got accounts for before even making the game, this is me we're talking about, I try to foresee problems and get rid of them before you guys even know about it, how many bugs have you ever had to report hmm?)

Anyway that is just to let you know, I keep my backers informed whether it is good or bad, but not just that, I like to let you know that I have solutions too.

P.S. Next game will be less size and will be made in Unity with 2D playshapes sprites, I've made a little progress understanding 'bones' of the character sprites. I just have several ideas for storyline running around my head. Doing a brothel game just seems rather redundant and unambitious really...:-)
