  mmm... I see... I mean maybe Construct2 focuses most on remote deliverd games such as browser games o mobile rather than "classic" desktop applications.

  and obviously a fixed size of 17 mb decrease is weight in percentage compare to the entire project when this grow in size...

  I thought it was an optimization issue... I understand.. thankyou

  Hi everybody.

  Yesterday I had my first contact with construct2 and followed the "How to make a platform game" tutorial.

  I worked out a very simple example of a schematic platform which I later exported to a desktop executable obtaining Ubuntu64/32, OSX an Win32 applications.

  Then I wanted to send it to my friends to show them what I made, so I zipped (winRAR) the Win32 folder to send it via email. It all worked perfectly BUT the RAR file was 17 MByte!!! It's so HUGE for a "game" with nothing more than a background pic, a stick-man like player sprite, a platform, and a barrel... no sound, one layout and NO gameplay implemented...

  I can't believe resulting projects have such a size... I can't even imagine how huge would be a complete game with graphics, sound an gameplay

  Am I doing something wrong?

  Is there a way to reduce size of exported projects?

  Thank in advance to everybody.

  Regards....
