Hey,
when doing test builds, I’ve noticed that even for the Flappy Bird clone game, the binary size is over 100 MB. This appears to be prohibitively much, especially for mobile games (an empty project already exceeds the OTA limit). Almost all of the data seems to be used by the UE4Game binary (50mb on iOS just targeting one arm instruction set, 100+ MB on OSX).
Are there any easy ways to reduce the engine footprint for projects that do not use all of the UE4 features?
Cheers,
Volker
I got the flappy bird down to about 30mb by baking it for a specific gfx format on my nexus7, but even this is very big for such a simple game.
