Avoid merge conflicts by using a multi-scene workflow in Unity!

Like many other game engines, Unity is known for continuously expanding, and it has evolved drastically over the years. While some updates were about bug fixes, optimisation or discrete editor tooling, there’s also been a few notable releases that introduced game-changing features. In particular, Unity 5, which was published in 2015, brought a lot to the Unity community. Among which, of course, an amazing feature that revolutionised the workflow of many Unity game developers: the multi-scene editing.

The Key to Proper Asset Management in Game Development

The world of software development has changed and evolved significantly over the last two decades from when Git was introduced. The world of cloud and microservices, CI/CD and automation have introduced scale, efficiency and velocity made possible through as-a-service models for both software and infrastructure. However, there is an entire industry that could not derive the same benefits that traditional software has seen, due to its own unique complexities. Much in the world of game development has not significantly or sufficiently evolved, due to its inherent limitations of size, performance, and collaboration that look quite different in the game development world.

Version Control for Game Devs: Survey Results

At Diversion, we are building a next generation Version Control tool, with a strong emphasis on addressing the unique challenges faced by game developers. It’s no secret that the games industry is underserved by existing solutions (see here), but we wanted to hear first hand from game developers about the tools they are using, how they use them, and what challenges they encounter. With that in mind, we ran a survey among professional game developers.

Secure By-Design Storage for Your SCM

The widely adopted SCM tools we use today, Github and Gitlab, are built on the dated architecture and design of git. I recently happened upon this thread on HackerNews that talked about a lot of the pains we’ve spoken about in our article On Git and Cognitive Load. These aren’t the only issues with Git, many of them are just really simple missing features that are no longer aligned to our current engineering practices, take this post on Folder (Non)Tracking, and today I want to talk about common workarounds (AKA hacks) for secure storage with today’s SCMs.

GitHub Copilot and Open Source: A Love Story That Won’t End Well

GitHub’s recently commercialized offering of Copilot, which delivers AI-powered code composition/auto-completion, was built upon the sourcing of code from millions of open source projects hosted in GitHub. This was done in spite of many OSS developers disagreeing to this use of their creation, and prompted Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) and Free Software Foundation to recommend OSS developers to cut ties with GitHub.
