Can I make save games work in a way, that game folder size will ocasionaly grow ower the allowed 4 Mb? I mean, savegames, settings, profiles and all that stuf can weight quite a lot, especialy if exploited.

Yes, the size limits only the original size of the submission.

great question! save files would not be included in the size of the game, but settings/config files would.

Jam Host(+1)

Do user preferences count as "settings"

Host(+1)

yeah, but it would be fine if the game made a file like "settings.cfg" after the game has launched and the user saved settings and that pushed the game over 4MB. just as long as the game can be run as provided and its under 4mb.

Thanks!

But what about shaders??

Jam Host(+1)

What about them? If they are needed in order for the game to run, they are obviously counted.
