July 2025: Focused tuning work on the Battery-Powered Gun Prototype in the ss14Starlight/space-station-14 repo, delivering refinements to firing rate and gunshot audio feedback to improve weapon feel and gameplay feedback. No major bugs fixed in this period; all changes were targeted gameplay balance and audio presentation improvements. This work increases the team’s ability to rapidly iterate weapon tuning in response to QA and player feedback, and lays groundwork for future balance passes.

May 2025 monthly summary: Performed cross-repo changelog hygiene to maintain accurate historical records. Removed outdated Traumoxadone entries in two repositories (frontier-station-14 and goob-station). Result: cleaner release notes, improved auditability, and reduced risk of historical confusion. No user-facing features were changed; the work focused on data integrity, governance, and traceability across both projects.

April 2025 delivered cross-repo data-model refactors and gameplay reliability improvements across goob-station and frontier-station-14. Key outcomes include a broad refactor of Device Link Source Port data structures to nested lists across eight YAML maps (omega.yml, oasis.yml, bagel.yml, packed.yml, fland.yml, marathon.yml, loop.yml, convex.yml) with engine version updates and initialization data to strengthen map data integrity. Standardization of door timing and linked ports across maps to improve reliability and gameplay feel. Introduction of the MachineMaterialSilo proto with associated asset updates to enable expanded material logistics. Business value: more reliable, maintainable data models; consistent gameplay experience across maps; and a solid foundation for future feature integration. Technical skills demonstrated: nested list data structures, YAML map configurations, proto definitions, and cross-repo collaboration with structured commits.
