+## Building Release Binaries
+
+The project uses Docker to create consistent builds across platforms. To build release binaries:
+
+1. Build the Docker image (only needed once):
+```bash
+sudo docker build -t goonscape-builder -f Dockerfile.build .
+```
+
+2. Create release builds:
+```bash
+sudo docker run -v $(pwd):/build goonscape-builder
+```
+
+This will create zip files in the `build` directory for:
+- Windows (64-bit): `goonscape-windows-amd64-v1.0.0.zip`
+- Linux (64-bit): `goonscape-linux-amd64-v1.0.0.zip`
+
+Each zip contains the binary and all required assets.
