Benjamoose - thanks for this.

 

To save site bandwidth, is this still the same as the pre-release version?

If you mean the version I had linked on page 9 of the WIP thread; it should be.

The only difference between this version and that version is that the "README.txt" is slightly different to reflect the separate .zip files and it also includes a new manual.

The original download I believe had the generic "Maygay Epoch" manual, but this version of the release also has the actual "Homer's Meltdown" specific manual thanks to Johnnyafc.

So unless you desperately need that manual you should be fine with the pre-release version.

Large layout size (possibly has the .bak file in which doubles the size) and of course 3 different versions of the layout plus some art files...

Thanks Ben, hope to see more from yourself soon,
The reason the files sooooo big is because the back.files are still present, these should be removed prior to uploading

Thanks for this. I wasn't aware that these were a thing.

The individual uploads are about 30+mb so they're not too bad, but I'll be sure to remove the .bak files and update the release.

Done! Removing the .bak files allowed me to shrink the overall upload by 42MB, which also meant that I could put them back into one .zip again.

Previous File-Sizes:
- £5 - 37.86MB

- £15 - 38.35MB

- £25 - 37.86MB
Overall: 114.61MB

 

New File-Size:
All 3 Layouts - 54.51MB

Thanks for the heads up!

[wearecity]

Didn't get much chance to playtest, but most definitely worth the wait.

[Bandits]

Looks Awesome, Thank You very much.

[I have finished]

Absolutely eeeeeeeeexcellent Benjamoose! Slight problem, maybe I'll address to wizard? Why do I get a coin reject sound when inserting pounds in the 10p £5 layout? Not tried the others yet.
