As far as custom dialogs not taking up a lot of space, that is simply not true. Let's say for instance that in a standalone you intend to have, at the most, 20 custom dialogs. If they average out to a slim size of just 4k, then that amounts to 80k total.
With my dialogs, they usually end up being about 6k in size, and I have at least 14 different ones, so about 84k. Making a common dialog system, which comes out to only about 10k total, is a much better solution for saving space.
Combine that with other simple space saving habits like using abbreviated code, removing comments and white space from scripts, and having 1 card with all images on it and buttons that reference each image, ultimately helped me reduce my standalone's file size by almost 200k.
200K may not be much, but it's a huge improvement considering the size of the engine alone.
