Godot install size is over 1 GB now. Curious why.

On Godot's webpage it's < 20mb. On steam it's >1gb. Why's this?

By the looks of it, mostly export templates.

Usually you have to separately download or compile the export templates for each platform you want to build your game for. The Steam version of Godot 3 comes with pre-built export templates for:

* Android
* iPhone
* Linux X11 32bit
* Linux X11 64bit
* MacOS/OSX
* UWP ARM
* UWP 32bit
* UWP 64bit
* Webassembly
* Windows 32bit
* Windows 64bit

Which alltogether add up to ~489MB!

However, Godot on Steam also includes a copy of Godot 2.1, which itself has a comparable collection of export templates, adding another ~312MB.

Throw in the demos for both versions of Godot, which are also bundled in, and you come out at around 1.1GB.

ok - thanks for the clarification!

I was curious, too. Thank you @Romløk

Huh, I was also wondering about this. I'd always downloaded the binary direction from the website and never used steam before so I was quite surprised by the size. Thanks @Romløk!
