Andrew Rosen contributed to the CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended repository by delivering four feature updates focused on balance and maintainability for modded game content. Over two months, he engineered XML-based patches to rebalance armor and creature stats, including targeted adjustments for Regrowth and UNAGI mods. His work involved XML refactoring, configuration editing, and patch management to improve gameplay stability and future patch reliability. By updating patch load order and enhancing documentation, Andrew ensured smoother mod installation and reduced maintenance overhead. His disciplined approach to code refactoring, XML manipulation, and balancing mechanics demonstrated a strong understanding of data-driven game development and modding workflows.

January 2026 — CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended: UNAGI Mod armor balance patches and patch loading improvements. Implemented a focused group of patches to rebalance UNAGI armor and improve patch loading reliability. Key updates include updating UNAGI Another Duster Coat armor multipliers and bulk stats, ensuring patch loading through LoadFolders.xml, introducing two patch operations for UNAGIribbonshirt to adjust armor multiplier and cost for better balance, and updating XML configuration for armor effects as a feature enhancement for character equipment. All changes were delivered through three commits: 01d913b898981a5986cf1b82f39888f8c84570cb; c5ac3cb352dd716ec2250ae66ac74a2f05f399c7; 2279745a3ebac417cb107d2be83ef9fd5f26e589. Impact: improved patch reliability, better gameplay balance, and smoother mod installation/update process. Technologies/skills demonstrated: mod patching workflow, XML configuration, version control, and patch load order management.
