Over ten months, InvalidUnits developed and maintained core multiplayer and backend systems for the henpemaz/Rain-Meadow repository, focusing on online stability, security, and gameplay reliability. They engineered features such as synchronized weapon hit processing, robust session management, and granular multiplayer configuration, using C# and Unity. Their work included refactoring network code for modularity, implementing role-based RPC security, and optimizing data types for performance. InvalidUnits addressed critical bugs in online synchronization, UI, and game state handling, ensuring consistent player experiences. Their technical approach emphasized maintainable code, defensive programming, and clear ownership, resulting in a scalable, reliable foundation for ongoing development.

November 2025: Targeted bug fix to correct overworld subresource access and improve RPC handling, with the overworld as the single source of truth for subresources. Replaced lobby.subresources with overworld.subresources to fix data flow, reduce desync risk, and stabilize game state and item spawning. The change is committed in 58503f45b91618fd77735cdca0ff995196ebcd1e. Effects include improved multiplayer reliability, easier maintenance, and a foundation for further feature work.
