Over seven months, spear010709@naver.com contributed to the SKYcat-lang/Archive_MOD repository by designing and refining nation-forming mechanics, focus trees, and gameplay balance systems. Their work involved implementing new branching narrative paths, integrating regional gameplay elements, and overhauling configuration logic to improve maintainability and player experience. Using Paradox Script, YAML, and text-based configuration, they delivered features such as the Serika Route expansion, regional decision logic, and balance adjustments for character traits and doctrine costs. They also addressed parsing and progression bugs, ensuring robust gating and correct skill assignments. The depth of their contributions enhanced both system reliability and future extensibility.

Month: 2025-09. This month focused on refining gameplay balance for SKYcat-lang/Archive_MOD by tuning Focus tree costs and doctrine bonuses. Key changes include reducing the GEH_prefect_DNVP_focus_3 cost from 10 to 5 and replacing the add_tech_bonus for GEH_prefect_team_priority with add_doctrine_cost_reduction, shifting the effect from a research bonus to a land doctrine cost reduction. These changes improve early-game balance, reduce player grind, and align with the project’s resource economy goals. The work was implemented in the GEH_hina_focustree.txt and committed as b23fd85d4cdec4d4bcca0c08e289a9a54620493a.
