About

The official site for Mithril & Mud. It’s the home for patch notes, dev blog posts, the FAQ, press materials and community links. In 2026 we redesigned it around the game’s own art: a warm cave homepage with Pip the dwarf, real in-game screenshots, and a cleaner layout for every other page.

Technical Highlights

  • Astro 7 with Content Collections for type-safe markdown posts
  • Patch notes and dev blog with frontmatter schema validation and an RSS feed
  • Press kit with a factsheet, ten screenshots in 1080p and 4K, capsule art, and 1080p and 4K zips built at build time
  • Open Graph cards for every page, made from real game art
  • FAQ page covering Early Access, platforms, saves and languages
  • Review tooling: a link crawler and viewport screenshots of every page for site reviews
  • Steam Store widget on the homepage
  • Custom MoriaCitadel font for dwarven-themed headings

Social Automation

When a new blog post is pushed to master:

  1. A GitHub Action detects changes in src/content/blog/
  2. It posts an embed to the right Discord channel (dev blog or patch notes) via webhook
  3. It saves the Discord message IDs so the post can be edited or removed later

Each post also carries its own ready-to-post X copy in its frontmatter.
