Is there a way to leave the character art fixed? without her disappearing all the time
I mean the 'A' key pulls Kira's art up on the screen and the 'D' key removes it. Not sure if that is the functionality you are looking for though.

like when you talk or interact with an NPC or someone, the character art comes off the screen

I speak when I interact with NPCs and things art from the character disappear from the screen. did you understand ?
Yeah I don't really understand what this means. Are you talking about the flickering that happens with Kira's character art sometimes when she appears on screen? If so, that isn't fixable, it's because the game is being developed on an ancient version of RPGM that the devs are pushing to its absolute limit with the number of image pulls the game routinely makes.

All jokes aside, I know what I said before, but it'd be ideal if they're looking for less limiting alternatives for porting it to (I'm aware that'll cost man hours and nerve cells). Wasn't there a fella in this thread showing all engine pros, cons and their quirks? With the whole table?

Ahem, political?))) Is everything all right with your head?))) Where did you find politics there?)))
This game is very clearly satire of a Soviet Union that not only survived the 80s/90s, but also seemingly won a nuclear war by making Moscow float. Of all the things that get mislabeled as "political", the label is somewhat applicable here. We have thus far covered the internal operations of the KGB, how rebellions operate, how the Kremlin deals with them, the existence and role of Kolkhozes within the Union, the efficacy and ethics of Gulags, and been presented with several different interpretations of what "communism" actually implies and entails. While the game's primary focus may not be politics and political discussion, the setting and theme is entrenched in the politics of a post-nuclear era Soviet Union.

Edit: unless your comment was satire, in which case, fuck me I guess.

Oh and don't forget, you literally have Lenin in your head. (Also don't worry, you're on f95, no one's gonna fuck you ;) )

A satire on the USSR??? I'm begging you. This was written by a person who knows as much about it as I know about local life on Alpha Centauri))) He doesn't know anything about the USSR from the word at all. Most likely, he drew everything from a Canadian-made textbook on the history of the USSR. That's exactly the kind of nonsense in it)))
And by the way, the GULAG is not a self-designation of something, but an abbreviation that stands for "The Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps." And from 1500 to 2000 thousand people worked in this office, they did not sit in it, but worked. They were bosses and employees of all stripes, not prisoners.

I'm starting to think you don't know what "satire" means. By definition, an overexaggerated, ironic, and humorous depiction of an idea, issue, or other piece of content, sometimes to the extent that the depiction could be argued is no longer even accurate, is satire. That is precisely what Defenestration is. It is likely supposed to be worse than a "Canadian-made textbook" in its depiction of Soviet Moscow, by design. If the game was 100% historically accurate to the actual Soviet Union, it wouldn't be a fucking satire. It would be a porn game with historical lore dumps. There are many works of satire that large groups of people entirely miss the fact that the work is satire and instead see the work as in advocacy for the satirized idea (see: Warhammer 40k). That doesn't magically make the content not satire anymore, it means people see what they want to see. You can claim the game is bad satire but, by definition, it is still satire.

Satire and mud-slinging, which has nothing to do with reality even remotely, as far as I understand, are completely different things, and I think there is no need to cast a shadow on the fence...

Satire and mud-slinging are not mutually exclusive. A work intended to criticize can be one, the other, both, or neither. Many historical pieces of satire were written with the express purpose of mud-slinging. The person who created the work of satire would likely prefer it be called "critique" instead of mud-slinging though.
