Austen Swearinger delivered a targeted gameplay balance update for the ss14Starlight/space-station-14 repository, focusing on reducing slime heat damage to enhance player safety and encounter stability. Using YAML configuration, Austen adjusted the slime.yml file to decrease heat damage by a factor of four, directly addressing balance concerns within the game. The work was implemented through a single, fully traceable commit, ensuring clear change history and maintainability. While no bugs were fixed during this period, Austen’s contribution demonstrated a precise application of YAML and game development skills, resulting in a more balanced gameplay experience without introducing instability or unnecessary complexity.
