Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (RJ-06/CouchPotatoes) — Delivered a critical bug fix addressing movement speed calculation and status-effect stacking, improving gameplay consistency and player experience. Changes ensure multiplicative stacking between slowness and confusion effects is preserved (no overwriting), and that speed multipliers are correctly applied to velocity. This work stabilizes movement under complex status effects and is fully traceable across commits for future maintenance.

May 1, 2025May 2025 (2025-05) monthly summary for RJ-06/CouchPotatoes. Focused on delivering core gameplay improvements, stabilizing the runtime, and enhancing maintainability to support rapid future iteration. Key outcomes include a generalized Moving Platforms System with robust collision and detection handling, reorganized tilemaps to streamline level authoring, and groundwork for new power-ups (Ice with freeze effect) along with confusion balance tweaks. Architecture and UX improvements were delivered via a prefab Game Manager and unified input scheme, enabling faster onboarding of new features and consistent controls. A broad set of bug fixes (movement, lag spikes, syntax, health death, clone behavior, gameplay loop) significantly increasing stability and player experience. Business value accrued through reduced QA cycles, faster feature delivery, and a scalable foundation for upcoming content.
