Would it be possible to have a downloaded version that includes the images in the download? I'd rather download all of it up front rather than having to wait for images to load on every page.
The biggest problem with this is that on itch there is a 1GB limit for files before having to contact itch representatives for I know what. So I preferred to stay under this limit and therefore have the images online in case there are additional costs or limits on the content.
Another point is that it would require me to change each image manually and there are hours of it and I would prefer to use these hours for content updates.
I keep the comment in mind and I will try to do it on future projects but for this one I will just reduce the size of the images a minimum without affecting the quality too much to offer you a smoother experience.
