Worked on the Rotwood-Vale/Ratwood-Keep repository, focusing on improving game stability by addressing a critical bug in the damage calculation logic for the Runelock weapon. The solution involved correcting how projectile damage was multiplied by the damage factor, with additional balance adjustments for the TRAIT_TINY attribute to ensure fair firearm output. This debugging effort, implemented in DM, enhanced combat reliability and created a more predictable damage model for players. The work demonstrated disciplined version control practices, with clear traceability through commit messages, and laid the groundwork for future balance improvements in the game’s ongoing development and maintenance process.
