Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for crawl/crawl focusing on delivering user-visible features, stabilizing gameplay, and strengthening feedback loops. Key improvements include portal mapping enhancement with immediate visual feedback when Ashenzari reveals portals, consistent skill gain feedback during item cursing, and expanded combat flow with autofight through bushes. Stability gains include preventing revival of dying monsters to avoid crashes and addressing bolt of flesh edge cases. Item usage logic around HP thresholds was refined to align with documented behavior, and Noxious Bog safety was improved through a friendly-fire warning.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — crawl/crawl: Implemented Habitability Rules Enforcement for Monster Types to ensure environmental interactions respect monster habitats. Specifically, prevented summoning trees in locations inhabited by monsters that cannot inhabit them, addressing a long-standing edge case and improving gameplay realism. The change is captured in commit 41e4ec47ade7bd9e3aa483662ec679b0c70de5ae. This work aligns with design goals, reduces surprising behavior during exploration and combat, and contributes to longer-term stability.

Oct 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-10 (crawl/crawl) Key features delivered: - Flux penalty display improvement: Added a field showing HP penalty multipliers in flux preview to clarify how HP penalties scale with skills. - Ignite Poison usability enhancement: Allow igniting poisoned allies and added a function to assess risks to enemies, enabling smarter spell use. - Vehumet gift weighting updated to use average skill across relevant schools for better balance; includes cleanup/rename of related functions. - Monster pathfinding improvement: Respect traverse_doors flag to reduce unrealistic movements and de-duplicate logic. Major bugs fixed: - Pet ally targeting validation bug: validate pet_target for allies; ensure allies engage valid foes, improving consistency. - Contamination fade log: show a log when contamination fully fades for accurate feedback. - Curse offering restricted by piety: prevent offering Ash curses while ostracised from full piety. - Plasma beam: add a check for targets to prevent casting when no targetable monsters exist, avoiding wasted turns. Overall impact and accomplishments: - The month delivered targeted gameplay improvements across AI behavior, balance, and UX. These changes reduce wasted turns, improve consistency of ally behavior, and provide clearer feedback to players, enabling better decision-making and smoother gameplay. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Gameplay AI tuning (pathfinding, targeting risk assessment) - UI/UX clarity for penalties and status feedback - Balancing through weighting of spells and gifts - Refactoring pragmatism and clear commit messages for maintainability
