My experience with splitting up games, is that is causes more issues/problems than it solves.
You go from "It's too big, I can't download it"
To
- People not unpacking the package, correctly.
- People getting confused by it.
- And, some upload websites have different rules than other.
(Meaning, you end up with all packages from one uploaded anyway after a little while, not really solving the problem.)
I did think about it myself as well, to divide my game into multiple packages.
But, I ended up not doing it because of the reasons above.
I ended up going forward with patches for every update.
Meaning, you only have to download the big file, once.
And, then you can download the monthly update that only contains the new content.
And, at this stage.
I'm already providing 28 links each and every update.
I think that's probably enough.
Just one favor that I like to ask, because you might be compressor Nr.10 that is trying to do that.
The LQ and Android versions are already compressed down from 25+GB at this stage.
And, I'm sure that you understand yourself as well that you can only compress something so far before the quality is ruined.
So, what I do want to ask is not to ruin my hard work by destroying the art. (Like the example below.)
