Game Size Limit at Kong

Hey,
I wanted to upload our new game Lucky Tower 2 (first one can be checked out on my profile), but the file is a little too big and thus doesn’t meet the size limit here at Kongregate.

I really want to upload this game here, because the first one was pretty popular on Kong and recieved more attention here than anywhere else.

I tried to contact the support asking if they could allow me to upload a bigger file, but I haven’t gotten any reply since three days now.

Is there any way to quickly contact someone at Kongregate in charge of such problems?

You could always discuss it with UnknownGuardian. He knows all about game developing and should be able to help you out.
If you want to shrink the .swf file size, try these steps.

• Open the FLA to the SWF file in Adobe Flash. Make sure to limit the number of elements if possible. Every new image, font and line adds to your file size.
• Navigate to “File,” then “Publish Settings.”
• Check “Compress Movie” in the “Publish Settings” window.
• Check “Generate Size Report.” This will tell you how your file size is determined. Select “Publish.”

If you have audio in your Flash file, you can also adjust the audio stream and event settings in the “Publish Settings” window. Changing them to MP3 from a WAV and from stereo to mono will decrease file size. If embedding a movie into an FLA file, also consider streaming it as an FLV and pr. The options are available in the “Import Movie” wizard that comes up when embedding a movie in your Flash file.

I love Lucky Tower, I can’t wait for the second one. Best of luck!

Thanks for the tips.

I’m not sure if we can compress much at this state, sadly. We had huge problems with sound before anyway and the game features almost 30 minutes of pure dialogue.

I’m really trying to reach one of the Kong guys to alter the size limit for this project. But nobody seems to reply. :/

Maybe you would have more response posting in this forum.

My raspberry juice pulses out of my mouth with anticipation.

Hey Molkman,

It should be good to go now. We raised the file size limit so you should be able to upload it without an issue now. Sorry about the wait!

Cool, thanks for that. Uploading right now. :)
