Hey guys, I'm new here in the comunity and with the engine and I'm trying to make some stories to learn the possibilities that renpy is capable of and this may seen an odd question but witch is the the Max image file size that renpy can handle ??

Like: "renpy can handle images file up to 100Mb or 500Mb" something like that.

Thanks!

Those are some ridiculous file sizes, you should consider compressing them if your images are truly such sizes.
I don't know the maximum per-file size, but renpy currently has a maximum total size of 2GB. Your entire game must fit within this restriction.

Thanks for the answer !!

But I don't get it the the part of the 2GB total size. You mean the project ? because we are using videos for the background on the scenes.

Yes, the 2GB limit is for everything because renpy is a 32bit application. It can't use more than 4GB of RAM, hence the 2GB limit.

This may change with the release of 7.4 as it introduces 64bit build tools.

Ren'Py's build system has been modernized, and the libraries underlying it have been updated. This allows 64-bit Windows to be supported.
