 How to reduce your project's size, without losing quality!
#1
Okay well, we all have projects we are working on.

During my time making Fallen Shadows, I realized the game was getting a bit bigger than I expected.

There is two main sources of information when making your game. Images and Audio.

In this tutoiral I will explain how to reduce both of these file types.

I always save my images as*.png's, as they are the best looking, and smallest filesize that I know of.

When I use GIMP, I always compress as much as possible.

Recently, I came across a program called PNGOUTWin.

If you download this program, it will take batch files of images, and "cut" any extra data out, thus reducing all of your images from 20-80% more.

This is lossless quality, your images will still look the same.

Reducing Image Size

Step 1 - Download - PNGOUTWin.

Step 2 - Choose files to shrink

Next, If you have any MP3's in your project, you may want to think about converting them to OGG's.

Reducing Music Size

Step 1 - Download - MP3 WAV WMA OGG Converter

Step 2 - Convert all your MP3's to OGG's
