been working on optimization a LOT with Slay-Bells, and I managed to get the game running at 90fps on steam deck now!

(previously it was 60fps)

there's still some optimization things to fix, but the game runs a lot smoother now!

Comparison of graphics

SLAY-BELLS had quite the glow up since its Christmas SAGE 2023 demo ^^

New Charlotte Render that I'm really proud of ^^

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Small dev update: NPCs all have their own name colors now! It's not a huge update, but I feel like it's a nice little detail.

I've been re-programing a new NPC system into SLAY-BELLS. I feel like this works a lot better, and is a lot more presentable. Also it's easier to work with compared to the previous version.
