Over six months, Lukasz developed core gameplay systems and user experience features for the Cyberiada2024-2025/Faster-Than-Scrap repository. He engineered modular enemy AI using state machines in GDScript, enabling dynamic behaviors and easier future expansion. Lukasz implemented procedural nebula backgrounds, interstellar travel mechanics, and a persistent shop system, integrating resource management and data persistence. He enhanced UI/UX with a configurable settings menu, input mapping, and visual polish, leveraging Godot Engine and GLSL for shader and collision improvements. His work included narrative and tutorial updates, bug fixes, and gameplay balancing, resulting in a robust, scalable codebase supporting both technical depth and player engagement.

June 2025 performance summary for Cyberiada2024-2025/Faster-Than-Scrap: Delivered core UX and gameplay infrastructure with a focus on configurability, visual polish, and robust state management. Key features include a fully operational Settings Menu with accessibility options, input mapping for manual brakes, and audio controls, plus skip-cutscenes. Visual polish improvements include shader tuning (Vortex softness) and larger UI elements, accompanying refined tutorials. A new Shop System with shaders and enhanced state management now supports seamless transitions between building and flying. The Collision System was refactored to optimize interactions across asteroids, fuel sources, and multiple enemy types. Center of Mass visualization and camera improvements give builders and inspectors clearer feedback for accurate assembly. A targeted shader softness fix contributed to improved stability. Overall, these changes reduce user friction, enable richer gameplay and monetization potential, and lay groundwork for scalable future development.

May 2025 performance summary for Cyberiada2024-2025/Faster-Than-Scrap: Delivered four major capabilities that advance gameplay depth, economy, and narrative, while stabilizing cross-map persistence. Key features include Nebula Parallax Background Visuals with performance-optimized textures and a procedural placement script; Interstellar Fuel Jump Mechanic enabling fuel-based long-distance travel with a clear hold-to-charge mechanic; a Dialogue System supporting informational messages and radio-style branching dialogues; and Shop System Enhancements enabling persistent module shops across maps with buy/sell, destruction-for-currency, and module attachment mechanics. These changes were backed by bug fixes to shop functionality, module generation, and scene save/load, ensuring a stable cross-map economy and player progression. Tech/skills demonstrated include procedural generation, advanced UI scripting, data persistence, and performance optimization.

March 2025 monthly summary for Cyberiada2024-2025/Faster-Than-Scrap: Implemented a Basic Enemy AI System with a State Machine, establishing Idle, Aggressive, and Defensive states. The AI navigates toward the player, maintains a minimum distance, and transitions between states based on proximity and an energy mechanic, enabling more dynamic encounters and a foundation for future balancing. Commit: 6b774f2ce8fee1e09ed009e5047684c18a8597f2 ("Basic ai (#218)").
