  ^ Pretty simple.

  A little more customizable than the balloon tip object, using a distort map.

  You deleted the old plug and now it wont load because it used the old one?

  Might try reinstalling the old one, and redoing the events.

  Well apparently your font is white for that area. Might try changing it in display properties.

  While a lower price point might seem to cheapen a name, when you don't really have a reputation, getting your product to as many people as possible is a great way to establish one.

  Of course everything still depends on how well the game is received.

  That's a non standard shell or skin your using.

  You should probably start there.

  A pretty good indicator is your vram. If the 20 frames — was 80 megs then half size, and frames would be half the vram.

  As far as cutting stuff up goes.... its still cumulative, and may even use more if the images aren't pow^2

  Obviously less frames will give you the best optimization.

  Dynamic stuff as Arima said will allow you to use just one frame. Bones, and the sine behavior are a good place to start.

  One and two, yes.

  Most lower end systems will gag at the bottleneck that will create.

  Check "fps in caption", and that will tell you how much ram your taking.

  Id say more than a few megs for an object will probably be an issue.

  Um?

  Not sure that one works.

  Any way a mouse pad would be cool.

  Whats the dpi and dimensions needed?

  I hope this works out ^^

  But how would performance go? After all python can be a bit sluggish.

  If there is it would only be at the start of the layout.

  Also someone should check this out if your serious.

  Well then I think your going to have to uninstall, and go back to an earlier version.

  If that works you should make a bug report on the tracker. Be sure to include all your specs.

  Perhaps its the image itself, it looks like it might be corrupt, or wrong file type.

  I'm all for having more, and more plugs, but that really is uber simple.

  Unless your going to do something like make it skinable, or use a sprite font.

  Still I guess if your just starting out, that would be good for experience.
