how and why do people make games that are over 4 megs? I mean most of the time there just wanabe games. I have never made a game over .5 megs. And one of my games had over 30 midis on them(tbg). People need to think that some people are on 56k's and 4 megs is just to big to D/L just to check out a game. I have seen many games of this size and very few were even worth click the join button.

well, people realy need to think, if you had the choose of playing a game you know love and have fun in, and only have to wait 10 sec to get in with a new comp. Or a game that you have never played and have to wait 10-30 min just to play, which one would you choose?

I'vem made a game (well, kind of) over 50 megabytes. Really. I'll upload it to the hub for proof if you want. | |
I see where you're coming from. I have a 56k and it takes me forever to get into a lot of games these days. One other problem is that people who are downloading cause lag!
To all the people out there developing your games: Reduce your resource size AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! Please? :D | |
Using bmps is probably a big one. A lot of the DBZ games I've *caugh* secretly logged into usually have huge title screens. Those are probably bmps, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other things are too. Especially if these people are kids who don't know anything past Paint and copying images off the web.

Another thing is that some people add large images in their games, without doing their best to keep the size down. An example of that would be...using a bmp for a title screen.
