Releasing

This document outlines the release policy for games within our organization.

Versioning

We adhere to Semantic Versioning for our releases, following the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

Branching

Our projects maintain the following active branches:

  • main: This branch represents the next release and is where all merges take place.

Continuous Delivery

We use Github Actions to automate the release process. When a new version is released, the CI pipeline automatically triggers a publication on the GitHub and itch.io platforms.

Steps to release

  1. Update the version in the code base
    • Update the .env file
      1. Change the GAME_VERSION variable to the new version
      2. Run the bump-version recipe
    • Update the CHANGELOG.md file
      1. Replace the Unreleased title with the new version
      2. Add a link for the new version at the bottom of the changelog
      3. Create a new Unreleased section
  2. Merge the change into the main branch
    1. Create a branch release-<version> from the main branch
    2. Commit the changes with "chore: bump version to <version> for release" as message
    3. Push the branch to the remote repository
    4. Create a pull request targeting the main branch
    5. Review the changes in the pull request and ensure they meet the release criteria
    6. Merge the pull request into the main branch
  3. Tag the main branch
    1. Tag the main branch with the release version
    2. Push the tags to the remote repository
