Andrew contributed to CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA by developing and refining gameplay features, UI enhancements, and build system improvements over five months. He implemented item system updates such as standardized sheath capacity and liquid-only containment, and improved player experience with UI changes like overmap direction visualization and skill requirement indicators. Using C++, JSON, and Makefile, Andrew addressed build stability on macOS by updating packaging logic and resolved overlay rendering issues for equipment. His work demonstrated depth in game development, graphics programming, and CI/CD, focusing on maintainable solutions that improved consistency, usability, and extensibility across both user-facing and internal systems within the repository.

January 2026 performance summary for CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA: Implemented Overmap Distance and Direction Visualization to enhance navigation and objective tracking.

December 2024: Key features delivered include Item Capacity Consistency for Sheaths (standardizing that hiking backpack sheaths hold a single item via a capacity flag) and Martial Arts Skill Requirement UI Enhancements (color-indicator formatting to reflect whether the player meets requirements). Major bug fixed: Weapon Draw Action now supports all shoulder strap types through a flag-based compatibility check, replacing a hard-coded path. Overall impact: improved consistency and usability, reduced edge-case failures, and clearer player decision-making, contributing to a smoother gameplay experience and lower support friction. Technologies demonstrated: flag-based game logic, UI color-coding, and maintainable changes across input handling and UI layers, aligning with design goals for extensibility and reliability.
