Split audio and game downloads
« on: Today at 02:08:52 am »

I think it’s cool the game comes with so much music and sound effects, but this has increased the download size a bit. If the audio is complete now and won’t be getting changes very often, maybe each release doesn’t need to include the audio. I can just move my current sound folder over to the /data/ folder of the new version of the game. Could possibly have separate versioning for audio updates and the-rest-of-the-game updates.

The free version of the game gets a small version of the game, and those two are just like 14MB and 12MB. Separated audio and game releases on Itch would be like 1GB vs ~30MB.

Edit: I just want to be clear that I want every single audio update, but if the audio hasn’t changed, it would be nice to not have to download it again.
