Hey!

As we well know ren'py does not support gifs. my question is if there is any alternative for this, besides converting to e.g. AVI?

Webm or mp4 are probably the best ones for quality+compression. But maybe you include those in your e.g. If so, I'm curious as to why? How do you produce these gifs that you don't want as gifs?

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

Since you talk about GIF, I assume that it's for small (three/four frames) animations. Therefore the answer is (ATL in short).

Python:
image myAnim:
    "frame1.png"
    pause 0.2
    "frame2.png"
    pause 0.2
    "frame3.png"
    pause 0.2
    "frame4.png"
    pause 0.2
    repeat

label whatever:
    show myAnim
    [...]

label whateverElse:
    scene myAnim
    [...]

screen whatever:
    imagebutton idle "myAnim" action NullAction()

Thanks, something like this I needed!
