| Perforce Software Chosen by Rocksteady Studios Perforce Software has announced that UK-based Rocksteady Studios is using Perforce, the Fast Software Configuration Management (SCM) System, to manage its digital assets during the development of video games for current and next generation game consoles. Rocksteady has most recently used Perforce to manage development of the much anticipated PlayStation 2 and Xbox title, 'Urban Chaos: Riot Response', which was released in Europe in May. Rocksteady developers chose Perforce because of its reputation within the games community as a proven solution for digital asset management. From their experience at previous companies, they knew Perforce was unmatched for performance, efficiency and reliability. The SCM system's rich feature set, functionality and gentle learning curve has further contributed to its popularity company-wide. Rocksteady developers rely on Perforce's branching capabilities to manage parallel development. Branches are created from the main codeline when new features or fixes are undertaken. Perforce enables developers to selectively propagate individual changes between code branches, ensuring that unstable features or fixes are not propagated, and that stable builds can be produced early and often. In addition, Perforce provides easy access to project and file history, enabling Rocksteady managers to quickly view and report on a project's progress. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
