November 2024 — ArchieStill/CGD-Game: Delivery of key gameplay features, visual/audio polish, and stability improvements, advancing towards a release-ready build. Highlights include a lighting overhaul with torches as the main light source, new interactive systems (crystals, door activation; X/O pressure plates; Key and KeyDoor), progression mechanics (coins with spawning and a rarer 5-score variant; relics and relic pedestal), and substantial end-to-end level work (Boulder chase sequence completed with destruction mechanics and improved puzzle clarity). TestZone enhancements and UI/audio touches contributed to a cohesive build. A set of stability and QA fixes (ThirdPersonCharacter integration, open doors bug, end-of-level replay) underpinned release-readiness. Commit activity spans visuals (torch flames, lighting), audio tweaks, and polish commits, culminating in a Ready-to-build state.
