In November 2025, Jan Groehl developed the Commander Variant of Adventure Mode for the Card-Forge/forge repository, focusing on card game logic and deck building logic using Java. Jan engineered a system that enables color-identity-based deck construction, a commander selection UI, and seamless integration with player inventory and starting deck flows. The implementation enforced color identity rules and introduced a command zone to support Commander-specific duel mechanics, enhancing both strategic depth and replayability. The work demonstrated a strong grasp of game development and UI development, laying a robust foundation for future balance and user experience improvements in subsequent sprints.
