Only two main ways I know of.

1. Reduce the quality (size of textures, no of model ploygons etc) of all your content. Thats down to users.

2. Have the programme and engine make use of various optimisation and compression techniques across differing disciplines and areas of content (e.g. use wma or ogg for audio) - thats down to TGC I guess so you cant affect it. Of course compression can have undesirable effects on gameplay.

I had everything on the lowest settings,my guess is that it saves all the engine stuff every time whether needed or not.

Well it would save all the default required stuff thats for certain so the larger your game the less of the default stuff becomes a high proportion of it. i.e. thereafter only your particular game content is added.

The default stuff seems like about 98% of it,but I suppose thats the trade off using a game creator
