Game size

What's the largest size someone has published with gamesalad as I'm making a game and it's looking like it is going to be very large as I want high res graphics.

Over 500 MB I think. Some were close to 1Gigabyte

In theory there is no real scope for 'hi-res' graphics, you either make the images at the correct size (in which case they will be no more hi-res than any other game) or you make them low res . . . making your images higher resolution than the correct settings will not make your images appear any more hi-res, in fact it will more often than not introduce some quality issues (mostly to do with aliasing) depending on the process used to scale them down to the correct size.

The only other situation where you might want higher than normal resolution images is if you have a game where you 'zoom into' your actors (or they otherwise significantly enlarge).

My map images are 1600 x 1600 which is no issues they seem to work fine it's just that I'm going to have a lot of them and it will add up.
