It would be nice if we could combine different standalone folders in just one. A game with 10 levels can easily take up 10Gb on the harddrive, and it is especially annoying if you want to upload your game to your server... A waste of storage, because there are a lot of duplicate files. Maybe standalone-specific files would have a suffix with the name of the executable file and for the others there is just one copy?

Also I noticed that unnecessary files are copied over, like the audio of The big escape. That's not a big deal, though, just mentioning it.

Wouldn't that make things more confusing ?
Having all your standalone games in one folder .... How would you separate the game and all the files you wanted to finally upload ..
Or am I reading this incorrectly ?

For example a multiplayer game: different executables = different multiplayer maps. I want to combine these maps into one single folder to reduce storage.

I think you mean that GameGuru automatically would build all the standalones in the same folder? That would be indeed confusing... I just want to combine some maps into one folder so the duplicates are overwritten.
