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.

Ark 1.1.0 is out! Hopefully this week Ark Hub will be out 👀 #gamedev

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)

Séb@sebdegraff.bsky.social

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.

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.

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. :)

Kind of curious about "Cool Ark VCS icon hookup". Does ark support some form of integration by engines?

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

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.comArk VCSArk 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.

You are up to date.
