Dec 1, 2024December 2024 performance: Delivered core Burrowing System with a dedicated component, assets, and editor/config integration, establishing the core burrow gameplay loop and groundwork for burrow animations and interactions. Implemented basic Climbing Mechanics with movement state handling. Polished Alpha Hub environment visuals with ice asset refinements and related configuration updates. Improved development workflow through Editor and Build Configuration improvements and added diagnostic tooling; introduced engine startup logs to streamline debugging. Expanded developer tooling and tutorials for burrow features (tutorial text and controls). Major bug fixes included: resolved jumping issue with burrow mesh; ensured burrow works consistently on the intended BP actor; fixed alpha spawn point not triggering.

Nov 1, 20242024-11 monthly summary for Liammwy/TimeHavenGames focusing on audio-system modernization, graphics polish, and repository hygiene. Progress on FMOD integration advanced audio immersion with ambient, footsteps, and time-based loops; UI/graphics received dropshadow enhancements and fixes; and the repository configurations were hardened with gitignore improvements. The work lays a foundation for richer player experiences and easier maintainability, while some cleanup moves (FMOD removal) were executed to ensure a lean baseline for future cycles.
