Game development studios often face a dilemma when choosing version control systems—specific requirements like exclusive file locking can limit options, while common solutions remain financially out of reach for up-and-coming studios. Surprisingly, even with widely used solutions, many projects struggle to adhere to the 'not rocket science' rule of software engineering: maintaining a code repository that consistently passes all tests.
Join Vikram in this session as he delves into the challenges of version control in game development and explores how modern git tooling, coupled with strategic workflow adjustments, can pave the way for a cost-effective solution. Discover practical insights to start utilising modern DevOps practices with your projects.
Studios and projects who desire the best of modern DevOps practices in their version control, and wish to look for an alternative to expensive solutions, will be provided with the skeleton for building their own solution from open source tools.
Technical Directors of studios and projects who are looking at a modern, cost-effective solution for version control that is battle-tested.
