Dumpling Yen contributed to game balance and configuration management across the vgstation13.5 and OmuStation repositories, focusing on weapon and trait tuning using YAML. Over three months, Dumpling rebalanced restricted gear costs and multiclass trait loadouts in vgstation13.5, refining item economics and player progression. On OmuStation, Dumpling delivered new melee weapon configurations, notably for the Stunsword and Terminus, adjusting damage values and combat mechanics to maintain ecosystem stability. The work emphasized cross-file synchronization, collaborative code review, and targeted testing, resulting in maintainable, well-documented configuration updates that improved gameplay balance without introducing critical bugs or destabilizing related systems.
January 2026 monthly summary for ProjectOmu/OmuStation focusing on delivering core balance improvements and reinforcing configuration discipline. Key work centered on Terminus melee balance changes to improve combat effectiveness without destabilizing other systems, with cross-file synchronization to maintain consistency across the Terminus module. The changes were implemented via a targeted config update and were co-authored for traceability.

December 2025 monthly summary for ProjectOmu/OmuStation focused on delivering Stunsword configuration and balance improvements, comprehensive melee tuning, and asset/metadata updates. Implemented a new Stunsword configuration with components and attributes, refined damage types, and tuned stun mechanics to deliver a consistent stun with balanced attack speed. Executed emergency rebalances to tighten damage values and remove non-core effects, and aligned light attack multipliers with Justice to maintain ecosystem balance. Updated UI assets and metadata for clarity and maintainability, and reinforced code quality through documentation and cross-team collaboration.

April 2025 monthly summary for vgstation-coders/vgstation13.5: Implemented Restricted Gear Cost Rebalancing to rebalance item economics across multiple job classes, improving gameplay balance and progression. Key commit 24364951d2b6c6c1ba35bef4290cbce81e9a5806 (Multiclass Trait Loadout Changes #2143) introduced cross-class trait loadout adjustments. Changes include increasing costs for insulated gloves and most weapons; decreasing cost of Holofan Projector; removing E-G4 from Restricted Gear, aligning with new balance targets. Bugs: No critical bugs reported; minor issues addressed during validation of trait changes. Impact: clearer player choice, reduced power spikes, smoother economy, and better balance across roles. Technologies/skills demonstrated: multi-class trait design, balance modeling, cross-repo changes, code review and testing.
