April 2026 monthly summary for Vanderlin repository. Focused on delivering gameplay polish and data integrity, with strong emphasis on user experience during rain and odor management, plus fixes to ensure accurate stockpile submissions. Highlights include feature delivery for purification within Cleansing Flames, broad waterproofing improvements for footwear, and a crucial data typo fix in stockpile labeling.

March 2026 was focused on expanding gameplay depth, stabilizing core systems, and enhancing player progression across Vanderlin and related modules. Key features delivered include a new Hospitalier adventurer class with the Chirurgeon role reworked into a dedicated adventure healer, and a set of updates in Monkestation/Vanderlin to fix critical spawn and item-handling edge cases. Additionally, the Orphan overhaul added four new subclasses with distinct playstyles and outfits, accompanied by targeted balance adjustments to prevent stat inflation. The combined work improves party survivability, reliability, and player choice while maintaining a coherent progression curve.

September 2025 – Vanderlin project: Delivered a critical fix to hair color rendering for mirrors, improving visual fidelity and player experience. The patch ensures color values are applied correctly by prepending '#' to the color string, addressing colors that were defaulting to black. The update references issue #3146 and is linked to commit cded53291937e3d016ffe91973c1c2eec9f47d3d. Note: facial hair color adjustment remains problematic but has a documented workaround to minimize user impact. This work enhances consistency across player customization flows and supports smoother gameplay.
