compacting apk on renpy[SOLVED]
Every time I build my APK it turns out to be 137mb and I only have about a 5 minute long test game on it. How do I get it down to maybe under 50mb at least or at least 70mb?

Re: compacting apk on renpy[HELP]
It has to include the Ren'Py codebase, Python, graphics and sound apis along with numerous other pieces of code. It needs those so it can run.
If you want to know the minimum filesize, maybe try creating an apk for a blank new project with just one line and no images. I seem to recall even that is over 110mb.

Frameworks & Scriptlets:
- Speech Bubble dialogue system
- Multiple Notify with ATL and history
- (WIP) Radial Masking - needs updating to use Shader
- 7.4 - Smooth Tinting using ATL and matrixcolor
- Several other repositories there too

Nah, the minimum APK size I can get to is about 14MB.Remix wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:19 am It has to include the Ren'Py codebase, Python, graphics and sound apis along with numerous other pieces of code. It needs those so it can run.

If you want a smaller game, consider compressing your images, optimising your filesizes and use video sparingly.

Dang, I was sure it was much larger... Probably should have tested before writing, oops

It used to be before the switch to Gradle.
Note that's the APK size I'm talking about, not the expanded install size, that's closer to 60MB

Re: compacting apk on renpy[HELP]
Compressing images did work. I got it down to 75mb with out changing the image quality. That's about as low as I could get it.

Re: compacting apk on renpy[SOLVED]
To get a bit more, you can compose the images within renpy via Composite()
So for example, instead of using three images for a sprite, you could use one image for the base, and three smaller images for the facial expressions.
The trade off is you'll use more RAM, but its generally worth it.
Doing this also partially helps discourage copyright theft as the thieves must recompose the image themself if they extract it from your game.
