Is this to serve as an alternative to Source Tree? I always felt, the old Github apps, were kinda behind Source Tree, feature wise and seemed kinda lackluster.

http://Gamedevr.com - Links and resources for game developers.

Im trying to get into game development, and decided to create a website listing alot of tools and resources that i think are usefull.

The main objective is to be community curated, by adding your own links via Github. The problem is that im also a newbie webdeveloper and havent spent alot of time learning about source control and Github especificaly.

Im learning as I go, thats why i havent realy posted it anywhere.

Im planning on adding alot of resources, fix alot of stuff and then realy tell people about it.

Ill just leave it here, for some feedback from you guys.

Ps: Sorry for my terrible english.

•on: Announcing Git Large File Storage

Does this mean gamedevs might start droping Perforce for this? If its not too expensive maybe?

This is certainly the issue that is preventing game devs from adopting Git.

On the other hand game devs at this point are very used to Perforce, and it looks like Perforce is interested in solving this problem from the other side, by adding Git features to Perforce Helix and making it distributed.

Helix Versioning Engine is a native DVCS. This is in addition to a Git management solution that is part of the solution. Choice of workflow, combined with efficiency in large file, large repo handling -- definitely interested in solving the problem right, instead of using band-aid.

Most developers I know dropped Perforce for git and svn a long time ago. Configure them with the appropriate ignores and it works fine.

This hasn't been my experience working in AAA console games, although I could definitely see it being the case in mobile. What developers do you know?

Agreed, a lot of developers still use Perforce in my experience (my own indie studio included). I don't think this will make anything better for game developers generally. The big stumbling blocks are: Git is not artist/non-programmer friendly; and an inability to lock a file when editing (specifically binary files or files that are difficult to merge, e.g. complex level files like Unity's).

Mobile and mid-tier console developers. Not AAA, but with budgets firmly in the "you spent what, for that?" range.

•on: Introducing mobile A/B testing

Is this for native development only? Or can it be used with frameworks like unity for games too?

It's native only but we are thinking about making a wrapper to make it interoperable between iOS and Unity. You should be able to drop it in despite unity but it may require some small extra work. We can help if you email [email protected]

Support for JS-built apps [Phonegap, mobile-web] would be awesome too!
