Defold build

I have been working on a game now.
but all of a sudden when I try to do (ctrl+b) to build it. it takes longer time to launch it. why is this happening?

Make sure you close your game before building again, otherwise it takes longer.

i am closing. is there a command for closing it?

Giving more info could help identify the problem easier.
Current explanation is too vague to be able to give an answer.
For example, what were the last changes you have made before it got longer to load?

that is the thing I dont know. im not even that far along in the development. im still learning.

I just saved and next day it was loading more than usual before launching

Did you import some new assets to the game? If project size has increased, it can increase the time it takes to load the project

uncheck file → preferences → lint code on build

what does that do?

every build-time check if your code contains errors.
