Separate downloads for ascii and graphics version when it comes out?

(1/2) > >>

Brewtal Legend:
Not really a feature request, but it would be nice to have separate downloads for the new version when it comes out. One for a just ascii version and one for the graphic version. Mostly for people like myself using old machines with limited storage space. I will most likely end up playing in ascii mode and would prefer to have a just ascii version to download in order to keep the file size down so I won't have a bunch of extra graphic files taking up space.

thelaptop:
Seconded.

Kornel, I think that we should do it this way.

ParaSait:
I'd suggest that there should be a regular download, and a lite download. Regular is all-inclusive (with ascii AND graphics), and lite is a minimalistic download without graphics and music.
Removing the ascii version from the graphical download seems pretty pointless to me as it doesn't make a big difference size-wise.

Uitë:
I'd include the high-res sounds with the regular downloads as well. The difference in size is only 945 kB packed, and 1,44 MB unpacked. That's about half the difference in size between versions 0.9.9.5 and 0.9.9.6 beta 2, which I assume is largely accounted for by the graphics.

thelaptop:
Let's be honest.  Folks who get the graphical version are highly unlikely to touch the console one, while the console players might not really want to care about the graphics version.  We could release two packages, one which is similar to the current beta download packs (console + graphics), while the other is just the regular console version that we've been seeing forever.

I think that might be a bit more sane.  But I suppose we all sort of agree that there should be separate packaging for the graphics version and the console version; the only questions is whether to include the console version in the graphics one as a "freebie".
