December 2024: Focused on reliability, player control, and test stability in CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA. Key features delivered include safety checks and user prompts around tool charges, and a test_mode bypass to stabilize automated testing. Major bugs fixed: oxytorch ammo sufficiency pre-check prevents activation when resources are inadequate, reducing wasted actions and inconsistent states. Overall impact: fewer failed actions due to resource constraints, improved user experience, and stronger CI/test reliability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: gameplay conditional logic, user UX messaging, and test harness integration.

November 2024 monthly summary for CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA: Delivered two features that enhance realism and player progression. Heavy training dummy support was implemented by adjusting item interaction logic to allow using a heavier dummy; Safecracking proficiency was added, altering safe-opening success rate from 1 in 80,000 to 1 in 8,000 when the proficiency is present, implemented in iexamine.cpp. Impact: expands gameplay options, improves progression and balance, and provides a foundation for future tool-use content. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ development, gameplay mechanic design, probability balancing, and maintainable code changes with clear commit messages.
