Over seven months, contributed to vlggms/lobotomy-corp13 by building and refining core combat and AI systems using DM, with a focus on backend development and game balancing. Delivered features such as a combat system overhaul, dynamic damage type shuffling, and an armor upgrade system, each designed for maintainability and scalability. Addressed edge-case bugs in projectile and AI targeting logic, improving reliability and gameplay predictability. Refactored code for performance and clarity, integrating timezone-aware calculations and robust event notification systems. Emphasized clear documentation and traceable commits, ensuring that enhancements to combat mechanics, AI behavior programming, and randomization were auditable and future-proof.
Month: 2025-08 — vlggms/lobotomy-corp13: Key bug fix and maintainability improvements in the damage system. Delivered the PALE_DAMAGE Damage Type Shuffle Logic bug fix, ensuring correct debuff/buff application when damage types are shuffled by updating only the damage type and delegating further damage modifications to the damage_type_shuffler. This reduces edge-case errors and stabilizes combat interactions. Commit: a7b486a38c6d6ab1565f0ad0bf5bab8136a6ad7a (Damage Type Shuffle Pale Adjustment #3003). Impact: higher reliability of damage shuffles, lower bug risk in future updates.
