Having a smaller file size means that Ren'Py exports faster, uploads faster and it is easier for people to download and extract.  There are plenty of people that have slow internet speeds or limited data.  Also having your first build be half a gigabyte looks very suspicious.

You can also convert all images to .WebP which will decrease the file size for the most part but .ogg will cut size by a huge amount.

I have two soundtracks for my FVN.  One creative commons and one I made myself.  Together they less than 40 megabytes since I converted them to .ogg.

I use only .wav when I am upload my music to BandCamp.

Okay, I see your point. Just not looking forward to meticulously replacing each wav for ogg in the script lol.


Next update is next week, I suppose I have enough time to do this.

Just control-F to find every instance of ".wav" and replace with ".ogg".

I can help you out with it if you want.

Thanks. Any help is much appreciated.

Are you available in an hour?  We can chat on the FPVN Server.

No, afraid I'll be asleep by then. But I can chat tomorrow.

Okie dokie.  I'll message you when I wake up.

Just managed to convert all WAv files into OGG files. Everything seems to be normal, I'll upload this version alongside the improved sprites that are coming soon.
