Demo Performance ImprovementsHi folks--
Thank you to each and every one of you for a jaw-droppingly warm reception to the Slay the Princess announcement and demo!
We just put out a patch for the demo, the first stage of a two-stage process to improve its overall performance.
Today's patch has roughly halved the file-size of the game's animations, which winds up improving its CPU usage by a fair bit. We may see if we're able to switch over from pre-rending our animations in after effects to some sort of custom shader for the full release (honestly a little outside of my wheelhouse!), but at least for now, there should be fewer framerate drops.
In case the changes in this patch aren't enough to fully improve performance issues on your end, we're about halfway-through implementing a graphics toggle that lets you turn animations off at any point in the game, which should allow it to run as smooth as butter on pretty much any device! Testing out the work we've done so far, toggling animations off will use about 1/10th of the total resources the most recent build uses, so the game should accessible on pretty much any machine! We expect this second patch to be live at some point tomorrow ^_^
Thank you again for playing our game, and we can't wait to share more of it (and Scarlet Hollow) with you!

[ 2022-08-03 23:21:33 CET ] [ Original post ] Warning: this game contains occasional flashing images. If this poses a health risk to you, please proceed with caution.You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.
You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.
She will do everything in her power to stop you. She'll charm, and she'll lie, and she'll promise you the world, and if you let her, she'll kill you a dozen times over. You can't let that happen. Don't forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.
... don't you trust me?
Features- A princess. She's very bad and you have to get rid of her for all our sakes.
- No, the Princess isn't a cosmic horror. She's just an ordinary human Princess, and you can definitely slay her as long as you put your mind to it.
- Don't even think about trying to romance her. It won't end well for you.
- Hopefully you won't die. But if you do, you'll die a lot. Be careful and stay focused on the task at hand!
- Time loops No time loops. Don't be ridiculous. Time is a strictly linear concept and it certainly doesn't "loop," whatever that's supposed to mean.
- A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both your build and how the story unfolds.
- A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.
- Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.

Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel/dating sim with dramatic branching, light RPG elements, and hand-penciled art.
