Support for HEIF format in the future?

#1 Post by kivik » Fri Aug 31, 2018 4:57 am

Just wondering if this would be considered in the future to help optimise file sizes?

Probably not anytime soon. There are patent issues with HEIF, that probably mean it isn't worth getting close to. WEBP is similar, already supported, and doesn't have anything in the way of patent issues.

Hi, you wrote a long time ago that you can include the vector graphics .svg in support of renpy, you do not plan anymore?

I don't. Haven't found a .svg parser I like, and it's not like SVG ever got popular.
