During April 2025, Dumpling Yen contributed to the vgstation-coders/vgstation13.5 repository by implementing a comprehensive rebalancing of Restricted Gear costs to improve item economics and gameplay progression across multiple job classes. Using YAML for configuration management, Dumpling adjusted point costs for insulated gloves, weapons, and the Holofan Projector, and removed the E-G4 from the Restricted Gear list. The work involved multi-class trait design, balance modeling, and targeted code review and testing to ensure cross-class compatibility and smooth progression. No critical bugs were reported, reflecting careful validation and a thoughtful approach to game balancing and configuration management within the project.

April 2025 monthly summary for vgstation-coders/vgstation13.5: Implemented Restricted Gear Cost Rebalancing to rebalance item economics across multiple job classes, improving gameplay balance and progression. Key commit 24364951d2b6c6c1ba35bef4290cbce81e9a5806 (Multiclass Trait Loadout Changes #2143) introduced cross-class trait loadout adjustments. Changes include increasing costs for insulated gloves and most weapons; decreasing cost of Holofan Projector; removing E-G4 from Restricted Gear, aligning with new balance targets. Bugs: No critical bugs reported; minor issues addressed during validation of trait changes. Impact: clearer player choice, reduced power spikes, smoother economy, and better balance across roles. Technologies/skills demonstrated: multi-class trait design, balance modeling, cross-repo changes, code review and testing.
