patch-notes

You can generate player-facing patch notes by reading internal changelogs, sprint retrospectives, QA records, and git history. The process categorizes changes into player-relevant groups like gameplay and bug fixes while removing internal jargon.

The best way to translate internal development updates into player messaging is to categorize technical changes into quality of life and known issues. This preserves relevant balance numbers and avoids exposing developer jargon to the player base.

Yes, you can use a custom tone and template for release communication by adding a tone guidance file to your repository. The generation process detects this file and applies your custom voice to the final patch notes output.

You do not strictly need a dedicated changelog file to create patch notes for a specific release version. The process falls back to git history and sprint artifacts if changelog data is missing, but blocks execution if no source data exists.

When no changelog data exists for patch note generation, the process blocks execution with a clear message. It requires some source data like git history or internal QA artifacts to proceed with creating the release summary.

You organize developer changes into categories like bug fixes and gameplay changes by processing internal changelogs through a summarization workflow. This translates developer language into player outcomes and groups them into predefined player-relevant categories.
