[casual_games] Question about iphone game development

[Scott Hansen]

In my experience, we had to make the lite versions of our products no more that 8.7MB in order to keep under the 10MB limit.... I believe that about 1.2MB was added, and we liked a little buffer to make sure.

Tom,

Hmph, then I'm getting mixed reports from various sources (pings have been sent internally, thanks for the chatter on that y'all). In any case, without any possible Apple-induced additions our engine's minimum footprint is on the order of 8MB, which leaves some, but not a lot of room for your content to stay under the 10MB barrier.


Cheers,
Tom
