I am trying to see what the limits are of Ren'Py. Has anyone tried to use 4K (960x2160) webm animated sprites? I can do with one or two but seems to die after the third one.
It does not even throw a traceback which is odd because other times it will give a traceback file.
The concept I am trying to do is just have a single full body sprite that I zoom/crop as I need it but have a "breathing" and "blinking" movement. The performance isn't that great but I expected that. What I didn't really expect was the crash without the traceback.txt

Re: 4K sprites
Seems like Ren'py is 32-bit app so it won't matter how large your PC is, it will limit itself to 2GB of RAM. I don't know if it makes sense for Ren'py to be 64-bit anyway, considering the target devices I am guessing would be smaller tablets or non-gaming PCs. However, that does alter your design decisions when developing on Ren'py.
Re: 4K sprites
Anyway I don't think Ren'py should switch to 64-bit unless there's a way of detecting oversize otherwise there'd be many bugs filed because the game architecture wasn't optimized for memory utilization.
Plus the DLLs need to have 64-bit equivalents too.
