pinned post!
After 3 years, 47 releases, Ark VCS has finally reached 1.0! 🎉

It's a big release, with features that I've never seen to any version control system out of the box, like built-in changelist build status. If you're tired of

YESSS! This is the baseline latency we should expect from a CI pipeline. Nice to see what can be done when you're in control and not github actions or whatever. (The time it takes for the little package icon to turn white or red is the duration my VPS takes to compile and run a trivial c file)

Quite often when using tools you don't really get enough information about what system resources it is using. This is something that specially bugs me when using resource heavy apps, so from the next version of Ark VCS it tracks all its resources in real time.

Ark VCS (think like an indie contender for the Perforce crown) just hit 1.0, and by the end of this video I was hooting and hollering Yeah I doubt I'll use this on current Unreal project cus (Unreal has tight links to Perforce) but next project? Oh hot damn mebs yes

looked a bit more into how Ark VCS has evolved, and there are really cool features! For example you can have your CI system annotate changelists (commits) with "build flags" (really build status). That will show a little icon next to the commit that can be clicked to open the corresponding build.

Here are the cool Ark VCS icons from my post yesterday: You can specify path rules in Ark that map to names and icons, so when you're looking at the history you can easily see which commits have certain types of content. It's mostly a fun thing for now but I think it can become quite useful. :)

Ark VCS looks interesting - a version control system specifically for games. It looks and feels a lot like P4, and not much like Git, so I like it already.

Had the immense pleasure being interviewed by
@gameengineering.bsky.social
! It was great to be able to talk about version control systems, go into why decentralization is a mistake for 99% of developers, and also showcase a why Ark VCS is better! :-]

Ark 0.10.0 was released, and it brings Tags. I also decided to jump to the final form of the licensing model: - Indie: free up to $500K funding / annual revenue - Business: perpetual license w/ 1y of upgrades and price per seat

Been using
ark-vcs.com
for a few weeks now. Not done anything advanced, not even branches. But it seems like a better version of Perforce. Hopefully it gets more users and more active development. I'm happy to not be using git for hobby stuff anymore.

Ark VCS
Ark is a new version control system built from the ground up for performance and ease of use. It comes as an alternative to Perforce and Git focusing specifically on being able to support big complex projects with binary files, such as the case in video games.

0.9.10 was just released! A while back somebody asked me how merging a big project like Unreal Engine from one branch to another would look, so here it is.

Hello Bluesky! I'm developing Ark, a version control system with games in mind, for people looking for an alternative to perforce and git. Last month Ark was showcased at Handmade Seattle Conference. Here's the video of that demo.
