PatchPilot

PatchPilot is a desktop + web app that helps small and mid-size game teams manage risky live updates: save-file compatibility, mod breakage, and version fragmentation. You upload build artifacts and a lightweight “compat manifest” (schemas, serialized types, asset IDs). PatchPilot runs automated diffing between versions, flags breaking changes, and generates a compatibility report with concrete fixes (e.g., migration steps, deprecated fields, remap tables). It also spins up reproducible test matrices (OS/GPU drivers, common mod sets, old save snapshots) and records pass/fail evidence you can attach to release notes. This is a combination traditional + AI app: traditional pipelines for deterministic checks, plus AI to summarize risk, propose migration code snippets, and draft player-facing patch notes. It’s not magic—teams still need discipline—but it reduces the “we bricked saves” nightmare that kills reviews and refunds.
