Atom is a super weird example, wouldn't it bloat the software to add support for files larger than 2MB? Wouldn't that be feature bloat? I mean, a code editor shouldn't have to deal with gigantic files since code shouldn'

Interesting to see such an CPU intensive site directed at the Japanese market since many people living in Japan are known for not having as up-to-date computers as the US and Europe. But that could be a stereotype from a few years ago. IE6

Nice project, I love visual novels and I toyed around with my own engine a few years ago. I'd put a full KAG3 code example somewhere on the page (rather than the tiny picture). I hadn't heard about KAG3 and I have no idea how to w
