Monthly performance summary for 2025-09 focused on BEAT-KEEPER development. Delivered a stage visuals overhaul with scene layout restructuring, hierarchy reorganization, and camera/transform refinements to improve presentation and pacing, enabling faster iteration and more engaging gameplay. Implemented timing refinements for finisher and break sequences to enhance pacing and cinematic impact, including updates to finisher and clear movies. Improved visual fidelity through character animation and VFX refinements (lip-sync, dissolve timing, and camera cues), and expanded beam FX and stage VFX integration to enrich stage ambience. Strengthened frame stability and interaction fidelity with collider physics and stage stability improvements, and completed asset housekeeping to fix references and tidy animation timelines. Business impact includes higher player immersion, shorter iteration cycles, and a more polished cinematic experience across stages, supporting retention and monetization goals.
