Case Study: Tarsier Studios achieves better collaboration and productivity with Perforce Helix Core

Tarsier Studios Switch from SVN to Helix Core

Tarsier Studios, a game developer in Malmö, Sweden, was struggling with SVN as poor connection speeds, scattered assets, and difficult checkout/version management slowed its growing team. To support development on titles like LittleBigPlanet™ PS Vita and Rag Doll Kung Fu™: Fists of Plastic, Tarsier Studios turned to Perforce and its Helix Core version control system.

Perforce implemented Helix Core to keep all assets in one place, improve collaboration, and make backup and recovery simple, with P4VS integration in Visual Studio and streams for managing parallel game versions. The results included better team productivity, improved visibility across projects, reduced risk of missing deadlines, and fast restoration of corrupted data—Perforce support recovered everything within a day.
