Upcoming Update (TBA)

Caveat: Renpy 8.1 (currently at 61% Pre-Release) needs to be released before this occurs. I have tested this with a nightly build, but I am not going to subject players to potential issues that might come from that. :)

One issue I have seen come up is comments about images. I don't think the source images is the problem, but rather the compression used.

The problem is:

When I test different jpegs with different level of quality, I get really weird artifacts with Bria's ponytail.

If I increase the Webp too much, the file sizes get even worse.

Even worse than that, it doesn't help with the color.

Here is how Bria appears in the Game with Webp at the current setting. Even if I went to 99, I have not gotten that much clarity and colors seem a bit meh.

Screenshot from 8.1 Nightly Build with avif file. Her freckles appears, there is stranges in her hair, and things look more pronounced colorwise. So, my plan is this:

When working on new content (was in the middle when I started the bios that needed a lot of render time. ;), I will save it in webp and avif until 8.1 comes out. Then I will push the avif as a replacement.

Now and then I will work on converting the PSD files I have of the scenes into avif (what I did with the game menu image. :)
