Character sprites not showing on stage

[HuniLuxe]

Describe your problem here.

so none of the character sprites load in when using the stage, i had just put together this stage and it looked fine in the editor:

but when i used it in-game, none of the character sprites are there:

i had checked both the lua and json but both looked fine but maybe i missed something
