Hi I already own Zafehouse Diaries from somewhere else, but also the latest installer only has about 23 MB. Where are the 352 MB coming from in the GOG version?

We included all the necessary libraries/frameworks that are required to install and play the game. This way all you have to do is click and install instead of being forced to hunt around for the required files :D.

In the future would it be possible to bundle that sort of stuff in a separate installer?

But...but...then we'd get asked to bundle everything together :(

We'll solve that when we get to it. :P

I am interested in your solution because the way I see it is as follows:

a) We don't bundle the required libraries/frameworks/etc. with our installers. People are potentially forced to go to another site to download something they need to run a game. Some, not all, may not know where to get said library/framework/etc. Support tickets ensue.

or

b) We bundle everything as we currently are doing and no one is forced to hunt for the required libraries/frameworks/etc. The installer is a little bulkier but at least everyone gets what they need from one click. We get requests such as "Please seperate the things."

Keep in mind we're doing this to prevent people from having to write to Support so they can enjoy their games :D.

Also, IIRC, the stuff in the installer should not install if you already have everything required by the game.

What is the big deal with downloading 352 MBs? Wow.

Game crashes for me, anyway.

In this case, the excess bulk vanishes after you install and then delete the gog download?
