output file too big, Can I turn it into an html or anything independent of the Quest program?

I used "Quest" to make a gamebook. I was a little too enthusiastic, and the published output is 102 mb large (I made pictures and sound). The online publishing limit is 20 mb. I noticed on github the questjs compiler but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Is there a new workaround? should I use the compiler again, but modify my file?

Thanks again for the hard work. I am happy to hear any recommendation you have.

Cheers,

Michael

I'd suggest taking the pictures and sound out. You can host them elsewhere, and just link to them from your game.

That's what I figured, but I find the youtube link thing doesn't work well. Is there another link system that works? that loads up the pic and/or sound automatically?

Have you tried shrinking the file sizes of you sounds and pics? You can alter pic formats and it changes the size a lot without really losing noticeable quality. X2 was way over the limit and I widdled it down by a lot doing this. If you’re still over you can decide which files to take out or host elsewhere.
