Feb 1, 2026February 2026 – Phobos project (Phobos-developers/Phobos). Focused on delivering strategic gameplay improvements, stabilizing core systems, and tightening maintenance practices to support long-term business value. Key features delivered: - Gameplay: Enhanced unit behavior customization and Area Guard range with rewritten guard logic and AreaGuardRange override for more strategic deployment. - AI balance: Dynamic Power Management enabling adaptive surplus adjustments based on current power drain for better balance. - Building rules: Refined adjacency rules, placement toggle, and clarified threat-value logic for engineer-required buildings; updated related docs. Major bugs fixed: - Immunity checks: Fixed ImmuneToPsionics recheck after Ares immunity checks on ally units when AllowBerzerkOnAllies is enabled. - Movement/detonation stability: Correct air effects during detonation and reverted micro-optimization that could affect Speed=0 vehicles (e.g., aerial turrets). Maintenance/ops: - YRpp subproject reference updated to reflect latest commit for compatibility. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened strategic deployment capabilities, improved balance and stability, and reduced edge-case regressions. - Improved maintainability through refactoring and clearer rule logic; ensured compatibility with dependencies. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Refactoring and modular design (guard range logic, AreaGuardRange, consolidated range handling) - Systems-level AI balance (PowerSurplus/dynamic management) - Gameplay rules engineering (adjacency, placement, threat valuation) and documentation - Cross-project maintenance (YRpp dependency management)

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 for Phobos (Phobos-developers/Phobos) focused on reliability and gameplay fidelity across detonation, targeting, weapon handling, and UI polish. Key outcomes include a robust Ivan Bomb detonation feature with a per-detonation bullet instance to prevent property overwrites, plus a toggle to control detonation behavior. Stability improvements were applied to coordinate handling and targeting hooks to eliminate undefined behavior and improve targeting accuracy. Weapon handling and laser integration were enhanced with optimized laser indexing, building-context weapon selection refinements, and stronger fire-eligibility logic including NoSecondaryWeaponFallback handling. An interceptor targeting delay customization was added for tunable gameplay, and promotion animations received UX improvements. Supporting bug fixes for preplaced aircraft stability and cloaked-object money display, along with changelog updates, contributed to a smoother player experience and maintainability.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) – Phobos project monthly summary: Delivered targeted stability and accuracy improvements across weapon systems and unit behavior, with an emphasis on edge-case resilience and visual correctness. Key feature delivered: BalloonHover Jumpjet Crash Fix and JumpjetStraightAscend flag to control BalloonHover ascent and prevent crashes when spawned with AlwaysSpawnOnGround=false and destroyed over a bridge. Major bug fixes: refined detonation logic for DetonateOnAllMapObjects, introduced IsInstantDetonation to govern target snap checks during explosions; reverted DeployDir enforcement for units without a deploying animation; corrected LaserTargetColor to derive color from the firer’s TechnoType; ensured missiles destined for buildings use the building as the destination. Overall impact: more stable combat interactions, predictable weapon behavior, and improved targeting visuals; reduced edge-case regressions and streamlined gameplay experience. Technologies demonstrated: flag-driven feature control, detonation and targeting refactors, behavior reverts, and source-of-truth color sourcing; demonstrated commitment to maintainable code and traceability via commit messages.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 – Phobos repository: Delivered targeted feature refinements and critical bug fixes that improve maintainability, multiplayer flexibility, and game balance. Key outcomes include: refactoring the drawing matrix hook to centralize rendering logic (Move drawing matrix-related hook from Hooks.Jumpjet to Hooks.Drawing); enabling dynamic ownership of pre-placed map objects for skirmish/multiplayer (Allow <Player @ X> as owner of pre-placed map objects); introducing per-burst charge turret delay customization and fixing ROF timing interactions (Add ChargeTurret delay customization and fix an interaction with AE ROF modifiers); adding selective ArmorMultiplier application by warhead type (Allow restricting whether AE ArmorMultiplier is applied to damage dealt by specific Warhead(s)). Fixed repair-cost interaction with Hospitals and renamed the repair cost option (Fix building unit repair feature interaction with Hospital buildings); constrained follower vehicle index to the map-file units to prevent misassignment (Fix follower vehicle index for preplaced vehicles being thrown off by units not created or InitialPayload). These changes reduce regression risk, improve gameplay stability, and demonstrate effective refactoring, configuration-driven behavior, and cross-system validation.
