Hey,

I have a question about storing pictures in mobile app for Google Play and App Store.

What should I do if I have many pictures in one app? I mean apk file is quite big even if I use graphic atlas.
In good productions for example ‘angry birds’ graphics has got good quality and app file isn’t so big.

Thanks

Have the app as small as you can make it and download the pictures from your web server using WWW.

Thanks for reply.

Is it mean user has to get Internet connection when he turns this app on for the first time?
Otherwise what?

Yes, when the user starts up the app for the first time, it will need to have an internet connection to download your textures/sprites. You could also include the art for the first few levels in the build until an internet connection is required to download the rest.

Otherwise include the artwork in the apk. It’ll make the app larger, but mean the user doesn’t have to have an internet connection.
