Why is love2D app file size so big

Post by Gunroar:Cannon() »

When compiled/gotten from artifacts the unzipped file is 70+mb, but when gotten officially it's around 12 to 20mb. Why is this? Even if all the architectures are included in the app it still seems really big.

Anyway to make it smaller once I compile it/during compilation?
The risk I took was calculated,
but man, am I bad at math.

Not sure about terminology, heheh... I use the GitHub actions. it's embedded. But before I even put any assets in I don't think it was embedded.

Sorry, can't help you there, I used Boon last time:

It might work differently.
