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.

ark-vcs.com 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. #gamedev #indiegamedev #software

Hey Whalestork fans we are 3 review away of reaching 150 reviews! A very short review is enough and really helps miniscule indie developers like us!

To those who already left one, you are amazing!

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.
