Hello!
I am working on coding a UI into a game and am doing the save / load screens - here's a screenshot of the mockup that was handed over to me:
My question is, is it popular to create circular screenshot save files in game in Ren'Py, the way it has been mocked up on this image? I have only ever done rectangular screenshots - so if anyone knows if it is possible, or not possible, I would greatly appreciate being told!
Thank you for reading! Any ideas or thoughts would be a huge help

You can try applying an alpha mask to the thumbnails. See this thread for some ideas:

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.

You could also use two images to achieve this.
Leave the thumbnail as a rectangle, then have another image displayed over the top of it with a transparent circle.
So it looks like a circular image, but it's actually two rectangular images, with the bottom one only visible through the transparent circle in the top one.
