During February 2026, work focused on enhancing the dust-tt/dust repository by developing an interactive cat character named Lou, featuring walk-to-sleep transition animations. Using Swift and animation techniques within a game development context, the implementation emphasized robust state management to ensure smooth and reliable transitions between walking and sleeping states. Animation logic included safeguards to prevent redundant transitions, supporting a more consistent user experience. The approach prioritized maintainable animation assets and a clear commit history, laying groundwork for future updates. No bugs were addressed during this period, as efforts centered on delivering new interactive features to increase user engagement and retention.
