Yes this is absolutely a performance issue. Displaying text real time is horrendously slow on Playdate, so every text box is pre rendered between turns. I could make some real time masking trickery but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort, considering how fast the dialogue box appears anyway. However I agree that it would feel better if the text didn’t pop all at once at the end. Thank you for the feedback. I’ll look  into it. 

Actually, I did look into it and it's fixed. Now the text is revealed as the dialogue box open. It doesn't give you much more time to read, but it looks a lot cleaner.
