So, I used GameMaker 8.1 to make my game (I know, I know, kill me now), and my main complaint about my game is the file size – its about 107 mb! There really is no reason for it to be that big too. In a little while I will release the source code, and then if people could let me know how to optimise it I would be EXCRUCIATINGLY \u00a0appreciative!
