Let me get this straight.
0.34 is 3.2Gb, 0.35 is 2.07Gb and this very last update is 2.0Gb, this seems like a lot of content was removed from 0.34, and this process was wittled down just a bit more in 0.35 by the time it is 2Gb in 1.00. Something is clearly wrong here. Was he removing content deliberately so he could keep extending the game? He claims this update is the final, then you read in the notes from the dev, this is clearly not going to be the last update at all.
So, 1.00 is actually about 56 megs _smaller_ than .35. (Looking at the Mac version here). Was there some cleanup or something done? Or is something screwed up here?
Niece work - nice calculations. I always appreciate when people throw some numbers and try to proof something.
Funny Funny Funny ......
Did you ever hear of different codecs? Ever heared about different compression levels within the same codec?
Could it maybe be that MrDots simply changed the codecs into a higher compression just because he wants to keep the size low?
Ok - laughed enough now ..... please ... next time you want to throw numbers, just use that time for something else - you may calculate how much time you could save that way.
BTW: There is not even a single line or scene been removed from previous updates.
And regarding "He claims this update is the final, then you read in the notes from the dev, this is clearly not going to be the last update at all.":
The game IS final. The "updates" will be revisions, fixing bugs, adding music to previous chapters and such things.
The fantasy scene "update" will just be a collection of scenes which don't match the game's story. They were not "removed" to extend the game
Really:
Sometimes i really wonder how "creative" people can be, if they want to find something to complain, do some conspiracy or at least try to "proove" something. Would they use the brain for doing something real important instead of thinking about such minor BS, then this (and other) forum would be a much nicer place.
AMEN
