Yes, that's a great point! A bit sad to hear that Renpy 8 is fully 64-bit now T_T
It's super fascinating when concerns of accessibility lead to tradeoffs like in the case of the uncompressed audio. I guess if I had made the game, I would have tried to offer two versions so that players can make an informed choice on which will suit their hardware best? But I'm sure they considered that and there were other technical obstacles in the way. It may explain why a lot of high-fidelity modern games are so huge, now that I think about it.
Thank you so much for sharing! <3
