Trevor Wong
During two months on the Hearts-of-Abexilas repository, Brainstormkid expanded core gameplay by delivering 33 new features and fixing 20 bugs, focusing on regional content, data modeling, and stability. They introduced new states, regions, and mechanics, such as the VAL system and event-driven workflows, while enhancing mod compatibility and localization. Using Paradox Script and YAML, Brainstormkid managed complex data structures and configuration files to support extended gameplay and internationalization. Their work included map design, asset management, and state orchestration, resulting in broader regional coverage, improved user experience, and reduced post-release issues through disciplined maintenance and cross-functional engineering practices.
