Features
Ramps / Slopes Old "Stairs" System / New Ramp System
This is a new feature that will allow us to create Ramps/Slopes that players can walk on smoothly to reach higher places. This is useful for us to create staircases and slopes for platforming in the game. These old stairs were done very hackily and you are constantly falling off of it. It'll feel much better going forward!Added Boss HP Bar Feature that uses a larger HP Bar for certain NPCs
