Hello!
I was just wondering how quickly an admin/moderator could get back to me on granting access in uploading a project larger than 500 files. Unfortunately, I am working on a time limit and have a short game around 1200 files.
I figured posting here might be more convenient and accessible than emailing.
Thank you.
Hey,
It's been a week. Could you contact someone to respond to my request for a game I'm making? Ideally to remove that restriction. It's low sized files, but a lot of them. For this project https://fidless.itch.io/wicked-rouge (NSFW)
That would be a huge help.
Thanks :)
The default file count limit is to encourage people from uploading projects that aren’t optimized for play in the browser. If you have thousands of files then I strongly recommend making a downloadable version of your game. https://itch.io/docs/creators/html5#common-pitfalls
From the common pitfalls section in the link above:
Uploading a very large game — Although many game engines allow you to export anything as an HTML5 project, often you need to consider what the user experience of playing the game will be like. For larger games, it’s often better to go for a downloadable version. This is why we have default limitations for project sizes (although you can contact us if you need lifted limits). Projects can still be easy to play with the itch.io app. You can think of an HTML5 project like a website: many of the same performance optimization recommendations still apply.
I’m not too familiar with itch.io, though I was hoping I’d be able to upload the actual game itself (rather than a downloadable link) so that it would remain playable in the browser on a mobile device that may not be able to download such files.
Would such an option be available? Or is there an alternative in making a larger game playable on mobile?
