So, I see you finally got your game approved! :)
Now comes the challenge of me figuring out how to upload the bastard. lol. As I understand it, the "blue cube icon" in VX Ace is just the exe program,correct? Aka, it's the incorrect thingy majig to upload?
Back to feeling stupid!
As I understand it, the .exe is an executable which will install the game into a user provided location without having to go through a secondary program, which a .zip or .rar would need.

So the exe would have been an easier download? Damn, I already have begun downloading a zip version believing that was the right course of action. Did I just screw myself? lol.
.zip is pretty much what most people use. .exe is fine, except that it is hard for the user (unless they open the .exe in a program) to know if a folder will be created or not when installing. .rar is less commonly used.

Well, I chose wisely! Still kind of worried though. I'm trying to download the file but it leaves me with a long belated "connecting" without seeming to do anything. lol. Just isn't my night.
Thanks for being so patient with me though. I know deep down you'd rather throw a sledge hammer at my head for being so blatantly naive.
I imagine it's not really that hard for users to utilize the self-extracting executable that VX/VX Ace can make over a ZIP/RAR. In some ways, EXE's are easier, because there isn't a external program being utilized. Personally, the only difference I've noticed is the size, and the difference isn't all that great.

I just found that out when comparing a zip to a EXE. Aka, you're right as rain! I "did" finally get my game up though I'm still disappointed it clocks in around 355 MB. Guess that's what I get for importing a lot of new content. I know the size will probably scare a lot of people off but I'll tweak it if at all able to.
That size isn't so bad. If you're that worried, I'll give your game a go after I complete a trade.

Heh,thanks! The only reason I saw it as big is because the limit on rmn is around 400 something. By that measure I was already getting pretty close to the cut off point. lol.
I decided to upload my game at game front so I wouldn't be mooching space here. When you clock on "download" that is where it will take you.
Here's hoping you'll enjoy it. If you encounter any odd game breaking bugs do let me know. I toiled quite a bit to get things as close to perfect as I could but I'm only one flawed human being.
