A Perforce Case Study
Tarsier Studios, a game developer, faced significant challenges with their previous version control system, Subversion (SVN). Issues included slow connection speeds, poor management of large binary files, and scattered assets that hindered team collaboration and productivity. They turned to Perforce and implemented its P4 version control to resolve these problems.
Perforce P4 provided a centralized system for managing all game assets, from source code to 3D models, and introduced powerful features like streams for managing parallel development. The solution led to improved collaboration, faster access to files, and reduced risk of missing deadlines. The Perforce technical support team also proved invaluable by quickly restoring data after a hard drive failure.
