CloseSomeone showed a 3D game earlier in this thread.
Keep in mind that with textures and stuff you can actually get away with a lot less data to make nice graphics than with detailed, hi-res 2D images. Repeating textures on 3D meshes (note that meshes take up practically no space) aren't really noticeable compared to repeating images and tiles in 2D art. Also you can compress textures in 3D a lot more than you can in 2D before you start sacrificing real visual fidelity. In 3D graphics, textures are responsible for almost all of the filesize.

Would you download my game if it was over 100mb?
It's certainly something alright. 8)
If someone wants to use mp3s, I'd say at least have a midi soundtrack as well for those who can't download big files. It doesn't have to be the same songs as the mp3 version, as long as it has a similar mood to it. I don't really imagine anyone saying "Oh, I hate this game because the midi and the mp3 songs were different". Even if someone brings it up, you could easily explain why that was. That's my thought on it, anyway.
I don't really think that's a good idea. Mp3's and midis pretty much create two different kind of atmospheres. It's really difficult to convey the same meaning without losing something in the process. Frankly, if you can pull off the same atmosphere with midi's, then you might as well just use midi's and keep the file size down.

Thank you, I can't believe how big these XP and VX games are nowadays. That's why I probably wont download an XP game unless it's around my 50-70 limit. I only have about 5-6gig left(World of Warcraft for my brother takes up a lot of space) on my PC and have a bandwidth limit for my internet.
...my VX game is 25megs, and I know that I won't be adding any more graphics/audio to it. In fact, I'll be taking out some of the monster graphics that I don't use, which will most likely counter-act the addition of more map files.
I have no idea why XP/VX games are so big, unless it's LOLMUSIC.

The graphics are bigger for RMXP/VX since they're intended for resolutions greater than 320x240. The Rm2k3 RTP monsters are half a meg across 110 graphics while RMVX is 3 megs across 50 for example.
Music shouldn't be a problem since XP/VX supports OGG which kicks MP3's teeth in with quality at low bit rates but some people just dump music into their game folder so v
