Images in the project get converted to BMPs for Windows, which are a very poorly compressed format. I'm having a similar problem with a game I'm working on (*), where we're keeping all the images in BMP format to be sure they will work cross-platform. The resulting package is obnoxiously large already, and will get much larger before the game is done. But now I'm wondering if I've forgotten an important release note... does RB now support PNG images on Windows without QuickTime? What about Linux?
