Developer of Ark Vcs. a Version Control System with games in mind ark-vcs.com

Tired of Git / Git Hub? Want to bring sanity and performance to your version control? Introducing Ark HUB! It is a spartan version control hosting solution for Ark VCS, aimed at high performance / reliability, currently supporting private repositories.

Welcome to Ark Hub, an official cloud service from the people behind Ark VCS. It is meant as a fair take on cloud services, so we do things differently.

Ark Hub's goal is to run high performance and availability Ark servers for those not interested in shelf hosting.

All servers come with 5GB for free. There is no price per user, the cost is purely based on extra storage. Ark licenses still apply, so if you have annual revenue / funding above €200.000, you'll need to get a business license.

If at any point you decided you want to self host, a zip with your server will be provided.

Your data is yours. There are no partners to Ark Hub nor any kind of AI training.

Ark VCS 1.1.2 is out! This release brings a new window to find shelves, but it also can be used to search committed changelists. ark-vcs.com #gamedev

On top of that, from the same GUI application, you can then perform maintenance to free memory / disk resources, for both the client and the server.

And these get automatically sent out to the clients during operation, so you never get caught off guard about a disk being full.

It allows you to set limits for storage usage, and warnings for low free disk space.

But it doesn't stop there, this carries over to the server too. You quite often need cli commands - some times ran on the server machine - to get this kind of data, but with Ark it's all accessible from the client GUI in real time.

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. #gamedev

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 ark-vcs.com #software #gamedev #indiegamedev
