    Liibraries with their dependencies can take up a fair bit of that space easily these days. I dunno how many would be used in a game like that but that’d be my guess for the space needed.

      Absolutely not. Compiled code is small, really small. I’d be surprised if the engine* itself as a whole was more than a gigabyte in size. It’s all about the assets that are included, how badly they’re compressed and how uselessly detailed some of them are.

      *The embedded one of course. The editors are unruly beasts that’ll guzzle up your disk space, but then again it’s probably a similar situation…
