I am considering buying the update (currently tier 5), but with my internet, I will download it for a few days. I think I 'll wait for someone to compress it.
Just a general note that I take size seriously when programming this game, so the images have already had some compression performed on them. Maybe not to the degree that one of the Compression Folks here would do, but there's obviously a size/quality trade-off.
FunFiction and I found what we believe is the "sweet spot" between my desire to make the game small and his to make it have scintillating graphics quality.
The current release is up to 94 animations (movies) and over 1,600 images, and is only just a bit over 600Mb in size.
That's not to say that something this size couldn't still be a problem for some folks - I'm just pointing out that this is never going to be a 5-gigabyte-because-we-don't-pay-attention-to-size game.
Also, FYI, Season 1 finished at 114 movies and 2,230 images, so you can see that
FunFiction is averaging more imagery-per-chapter (and definitely more movies-per-chapter) in Season 2 than Season 1.
