Hello Everyone,
This may seem like a silly question but up to what size is it possible to make the HTML file?
I have started a game which at the moment is only 120kb but I'm thinking this file could get a lot larger.
Also, what about the .tws files? Do they have a maximum file size?
I would be really grateful for any help at all - Thank You!
Stew.

You're not going to hit it.
The bigger worry is how large of an HTML file are you willing to make people download? A few megs is nothing nowadays. I don't know if I would want to go as high as 10. Maybe five would be my limit. Dunno.
Because of the way the Twine GUI determines which passages are current visible and what link arrow lines need to be drawn, the more Passages/links you have within a single TWS file the slower the screen refreshes and the slower the application responds.
So if you are planing on having a lot of Passages/Links in your story/game, especially if you have a link (like one to the players description) that appears in (almost) every Passage, then I suggest to look into using the StoryIncludes feature.
It does sound like I could go quite big. And I guess I could always link two HTML files in a kind of play part 1 then part 2 way.
Anyway, I could take forever to write a big game but it's fun to learn as I go.
