March 2026 monthly summary for Vanderlin project. Focused on delivering a user-friendly gameplay flow, stabilizing class mechanics, and documenting changes. The major deliverable was a feature enabling consecutive rounds without spending triumphs for seven classes (Dungeoneer, Noble, Veteran, Matron, Court Physician, Bard, Fisher), supported by local testing and changelog updates. This work reduced confusion, aligned mechanics with other classes, and improves player retention by enabling longer play sessions. Technical achievements include a safe code-path change (Bypass LastClass = True), clear PR documentation, and validation via pre-merge checklist.

Summary for July 2025: Delivered the Churchling Celestial Communication feature for Vanderlin, enabling the churchling job type to speak and understand Celestial with an idempotent language grant (only if not already possessed) and in-game feedback to players. This enhances role-playing consistency and clergy–player interactions, improving immersion and onboarding. No major bugs fixed this month; changes are documented with a clear attribution to the rollout. Impact includes stronger storytelling capabilities and a solid foundation for future localization; technologies demonstrated include language-system integration, possession checks, and in-game feedback mechanisms.
