Hey everyone,
I've started development on a game (Ren'Py with Daz3d content) in my free time, and before I get too far along, I was hoping to get some input from people more experienced in this world than I am. Right now, I'm mostly looking for information/opinions on the best way to show animation in Ren'Py.
Thanks!

- Is it better to have pre-made video files? or is it better to have a series of images? Is this true in all cases, or only when an animation is short/long?
- If it's better to have a pre-made video file, which format/codec is the most compatible (looking at you, Android) while still providing decent compression without a notable loss of quality?
- If it's better to have a series of images, does the compression or size of the images affect the ability of the Ren'Py engine to play them as a fluid animation?
- I've read that Ren'Py is better at fullscreen movies than it is at playing movies/animation over smaller sections of the screen. Does this still hold true, or have your experiences show this not to be the case?
- If it's better to have full screen movies, what resolution would you recommend for the movie? HD? UHD?
Thanks!
