Hello guys!

We are proud to inform that the Windows version of WolfBit has just reduced from 51Mb to 19Mb.

BUT… HOW?

Well, according to Microsoft Developer Network:

“A program database (PDB) file holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program. A PDB file is created when you compile a C/C++ program with /ZI or /Zi or a Visual Basic/C#/JScript .NET program with /debug.”

That means they are not necessary AT ALL for release builds (AKA running perfectly your game).

And I find that a pretty good advise, as I have seen more than one game at LD35 that has been given the suggestion to remove these huge useless Megabytes of it.

(Including us!)

So thanks Ludum Dare community for pointing this out! It’s really good to be a part of it.

By the way, if you haven’t played our game, WolfBit, go on and check it here.

We are really proud of it, I mean, look at our title screen

Edit: Next step is learn how to post GIFs here (we’ll work on that!).
