I'm curious what are the differences between the Android version and the windows version other than the file size?

One is download on android and one is to download on pc??

WAOW. why didn't i think about that?? 😂 😂

the only real difference, is that the android version is highly compressed, so lesser quality textures and so on, basically to save space as i believe the apk limit is 4gb, so if the full sized version from pc which is 9gb were to be the same as the android version it wouldn't work. not to mention there are alot of people who dont have much storage on their phones

The apk limit is 2gb. Only way around it is to do a split apk install, which can be a real nightmare to properly set up, so most devs avoid it like the plague. For a single dev to set it up by themselves it would probably take longer than the update we've been waiting on.

The only reason I ask is because another developer has a game that he said he can no longer create for Android due to the file size limitation, it's Windows version is only 10 days which is a full gig less than this game however the developer of this game somehow managed to get it to be one gig for the Android version.

So it left me thinking if the other developer swore up and down that no matter how much he tried to compress it it wasn't able to fit any longer than how someone with an additional gig managed to do it, which is why I thought perhaps they had left content out which is also why I asked what's the difference between the two games other than the file size.
