Worked on the crpg2/crpg repository to deliver a targeted balance adjustment for the El Montante weapon, focusing on improving close-quarters combat dynamics. The update involved shortening the weapon’s length and increasing its stab damage, enhancing the player experience in melee scenarios. Leveraged XML handling and data modeling skills to implement and document these changes, ensuring clear commit attribution and traceability through explicit co-authorship metadata. The work was prepared for smooth deployment with a detailed changelog, supporting release readiness. Utilized both XML and JSON to manage game data, with an emphasis on maintainable code and transparent development practices throughout the process.
