In Ren'Py , we need to add all image files at the beginning of the script, to an Init block.
Does all this data, all the files we initialize there, load into the RAM? If so, what do I do if I have tons of pictures for my novel?

Re: Init Block and PC RAM
No. The only information that's kept in ram is a small pointer to the image. The image itself is loaded into ram shortly before it is used.
