October 2025 performance summary for EricWRogers/PaintTheWorld: Delivered a comprehensive overhaul of core movement and rail systems to improve player feel, consistency, and scalability, while advancing combat-related visuals and content polish. Key engineering efforts focused on refactoring the movement and input pipeline to support momentum-based locomotion, dashing, and rail grinding, with groundwork for spline rails and parent-rail relationships. Look direction and aiming were refined so players face the swing, shoot, and weapon use, and wall rides now incorporate gravity for more predictable traversal. The jumping system gained a dedicated jump count and double-jump capability with momentum preservation, plus several bug fixes to stabilize negative edge cases. Visual polish and gameplay affordances were expanded via bullet color changes, yellow paint boost pads, mortar paint interactions, and paintable mask quality enums. Workflow improvements included auto stash before merging main branches, and scene-level save support (parking lot) to speed up iteration. Overall, improved gameplay fidelity, stability, and delivery velocity, enabling more engaging player experiences and reducing risk on future releases.
