About

The official marketing site for Mithril & Mud. Serves as the hub for patch notes, dev blog posts, press materials, and community links.

  • Astro 5 with Content Collections for type-safe markdown blog posts
  • 18+ blog/patch note posts with frontmatter schema validation
  • Dynamic routing ([id].astro) for individual blog entries
  • GitHub Actions CI/CD — auto-posts new blog entries to X/Twitter and Discord

  • Custom tweet field in markdown frontmatter for social media formatting
  • Press kit page with factsheet, descriptions, and downloadable assets
  • Steam Store widget embedded on homepage

Social Automation

When a new blog post is pushed to master:

  1. GitHub Action detects changes in src/content/blog/
  2. Extracts tweet text from frontmatter (or auto-generates)
  3. Posts to X via Tweepy API
  4. Posts embeds to Discord via webhooks
  5. Saves Discord message IDs for future edits
