Aug 1, 2025August 2025 performance summary for CodyNava/CrimsonStar: Focused on elevating visual fidelity, gameplay polish, and stability in netplay and scene visuals. Delivered a wide set of VFX improvements, new prefabs, and shader upgrades, enabling richer environments and clearer combat feedback. Key features delivered include: VFX Graphs and Prefab Improvements with new VFX_prefabs (e.g., VFX_ReactorDetonation, VFX_LaserOrigin, VFX_AsteroidCollision, VFX_Mine_Explosion, VFX_NebulaSlowness) as well as Nebula alpha blending layers and MapBorder prefab to support level design. Laser/Turret enhancements refined spawn positions, charging behavior, and NetGameplay integration for more consistent turret combat. NetGameplay Scene updates added Map Border, Fog Cloud visuals, and Tier2 VFX projectiles/missiles/muzzle flashes/laser charge across NetGameplay prefabs. UI polish refined borders and nebula/planet placement to improve perceived speed and immersion. Nebula area effects and improved hit feedback, plus VFX texture cleanup, contributed to a more responsive and visually cohesive experience. Major fixes included Asset Abnahme issues, Rocket Backfire in NetGameplayRocketTurret, light culling bug, Muzzle Flash range fix, and a Quick Planet Placement fix, with global volume adjustments for multiplayer stability.
