Patch Notes Multi-Parser
Overview
The Patch Notes Multi-Parser Tool (Open Source) was created to simplify the process of sharing patch notes for our game, Throne of Lies: Medieval Politics, across Steam, our forum, and in-game. The tool was designed to help developers save time and effort by allowing them to write patch notes in one style, then, with a single click, convert the content into both BBCode and Unity TextMeshPro for easy copy-pasting to other platforms.

Problem
Writing patch notes for multiple platforms, each requiring a different format, was time-consuming and prone to errors, hindering the team's ability to efficiently communicate updates to the community.
Solution
The Patch Notes Multi-Parser Tool addresses this issue by enabling developers to write patch notes in a single format (markdown), then quickly and accurately convert the content into the appropriate BBCode and Unity TextMeshPro formats, streamlining the process of sharing updates across platforms.
