 ### Gameplay
 Vous atterissez dans un monde fait entièrement de cubes et généré aléatoirement. Vous pouvez explorer le monde, miner et construire presque n'importe quel bloc pour créer de nouvelles structures. Vous pouvez choisir de jouer en "mode survie" dans lequel vous devez combattre des monstres et la faim et progresser lentement dans différents aspects du jeu, comme l'extraction de minerai, l'agriculture, la construction de machines et ainsi de suite. Ou alors vous pouvez jouer en "mode créatif" où vous pouvez construire à peu près n'importe quoi instantanément.

 ## Objectif
-* Essentiellement, créer un clone de Minecraft stable, moddable, libre et gratuit basé sur le moteur de jeu Minetest avec des fonctionnalités abouties, utilisable à la fois en mode solo et multijoueur. Actuellement, beaucoup des fonctionnalités de **Minecraft Java Edition** sont déjà implémentées et leur amélioration est prioritaire sur les nouvelles demandes.
-* Avec une priorité moindre, implémenter les fonctionnalités des versions **Minecraft + OptiFine** (OptiFine autant que supporté par le moteur Minetest). Cela signifie que les fonctionnalités présentes dans les versions listées sont priorisées.
-* Dans l'idéal, créer une expérience performante qui tourne bien sur des ordinateurs à basse performance. Malheureusement, en raison des mécanismes de Minecraft et des limitations du moteur Minetest ainsi que de la petite taille de la communauté de joueurs sur des ordinateurs à basses performances, les optimisations sont difficiles à explorer.
+* Créer un jeu stable, performant, moddable et libre inspiré de Minecraft en utilisant le moteur de jeu Minetest, utilisable à la fois en mode solo et multijoueur.

-### Hotfix Release
-
-##### Prepare release branch
-
-When hotfixing, you should never release new features. Any new code increases risk of new bugs which has additional testing/release concerns. 
-To mitigate this, you just release the last release, and the relevant bug fix. For this, we do the following:
-
-* Create release branch from the last release tag, push it:
-
+5. Add release notes to the `releasenotes` folder, named like
 ```
-git checkout -b release/0.82.1 0.82.0
-
-git push origin release/0.82.1
+0_87-the_prismatic_release.md
 ```
-
-##### Prepare feature branch and fix
-
-* Create feature branch from that release branch (can review it to check only fix is there, nothing else, and use to also merge into master separately)
-
-`git checkout -b hotfix_bug_1_branch`
-
-* Fix crash/serious bug and commit
-* Push branch and create pr to the release and also the master branch (Do not rebase, to reduce merge conflict risk. Do not delete after first merge or it needs to be repushed)
-
-##### Update version and tag the release
-
-* After all fixes are in release branch, pull it locally  (best to avoid a merge conflict as feature branch will need to be merged into master also, which already changed version):
-
-* Update version in game.conf to hotfix version and commit it. Example: version=0.82.1
-
-* Tag it, push tag and branch:
-
+6. Make a commit for the release notes:
 ```
-git tag 0.82.1
-
-git push origin 0.82.1
-
-git push origin release/0.82.1
+git add releasenotes/0_87-the_prismatic_release.md
+git commit -m "Add release notes for v0.87"
 ```
-
-Note: If you have to do more than 1 hotfix release, can do it on the same release branch.
+7. **Tag and push to the tag:**
+```
+git tag 0.87.0
+git push origin 0.87.0
+```
+8. Update version in game.conf to the next version with -SNAPSHOT suffix:
+```
+git commit -m "Post-release set version 0.88.0-SNAPSHOT"
+```
+9. Push the above to a new branch, and make the release PR. Merge to finalize release process.

+## Hotfix Release
+
+### Before releasing
+
+First, determine if the current state of the master branch is fine for the Hotfix.
+In general, Hotfixes shouldn't contain new features to minimize the risk of regressions.
+
+* If it hasn't been long since the release, and the only PRs merged so far are bugfixes and/or documentation changes,
+it is certainly fine to use it as a base for the release.
+* If there are some features merged, but they are aimed at fixing/alleviating important issues with the last released version, it may still be fine.
+* If there are some simple QoL features merged that are irrelevant to the last release, it may still be fine to use it as a base for the Hotfix.
+* If there are major features or large overhauls merged, it *most probably* is **not** fine to use as a base for the Hotfix.
+
+If you decided that the current state of the master branch can be used as the Hotfix version, make sure that all the PRs merged since the last release
+are in the Hotfix milestone and you are working on a clean branch based on the master branch, up-to-date with the one on the repo.
+In this case, **skip** the following section.
+
+### Prepare release branch
+
+If you decided that the current state of the master branch shouldn't be used as the Hotfix version, you must prepare a release branch.
+
+1. Create release branch from the last release tag, push it:
+```
+git checkout -b release/0.82.1 0.82.0
+git push origin release/0.82.1
+```
+2. Cherry-pick the relevant commits from the master branch, or merge them from other (PR) branches.
+3. Make sure your local copy of the branch contains all the relevant changes, **do not rebase**.
+
+### Release process
+
+1. Update CREDITS.md if it is needed
+2. Update version in game.conf
+3. If you've changed CREDITS.md, run the script:
+```
+lua tools/generate_ingame_credits.lua
+```
+4. Make a commit for the above:
+```
+git add game.conf
+git commit -m "Set version for hotfix v0.87.1"
+```
+or, if credits got updated:
+```
+git add CREDITS.md
+git add mods/HUD/mcl_credits/people.lua
+git add game.conf
+git commit -m "Updated release credits and set version for hotfix v0.87.1"
+```
+5. Add a section in the last releasnotes, like this:
+```
+## 0.87.1 hotfix
+```
+and describe the changes there
+
+6. Make a commit for the releasenotes changes:
+```
+git add releasenotes/0_87-the_prismatic_release.md
+git commit -m "Update release notes for hotfix v0.87.1"
+```
+7. **Tag and push to the tag:**
+```
+git tag 0.87.1
+git push origin 0.87.1
+```
+8. If you are skipping some changes from the master branch (and thus are using a prepared master branch from the previous section),
+push to the remote and skip the next two steps:
+```
+git push origin release/0.82.1
+```
+9. If you're releasing master branch, update version in game.conf to the next version with -SNAPSHOT suffix:
+```
+git commit -m "Post-hotfix reset version 0.88.0-SNAPSHOT"
+```
+10. If you're releasing master branch, push the above to a new branch, and make the release PR. Merge to finalize release process.
+
+### Release via ContentDB
+
+1. Go to VoxeLibre page (https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/)
+2. Click [+Release] button
+3. Enter the release tag number in the title and Git reference box. For example (without quotes): "0.87.1"
+4. In the minimum minetest version, put the oldest supported version (as of 19/05/2024 it is 5.6), leave the Maximum minetest version blank
+5. Click save. Hotfix is now live.
+
+### After releasing
+
+...inform people.
+
+* Add a comment to the forum post with the release number and change log. Maintainer will update the main post with code link.
+* Add a Discord announcement post and @everyone with link to the release issue and release notes, and describe briefly what the hotfix does.
