Version control for game developers
summary
Demonstrates Plastic SCM integrated into Unity with fast in-Editor check-in and branching, file locking, annotate/history views and a Unity Dashboard mockup that adds PR-like review flows (preview UI, still in beta). Shows GitSync and P4-sync bridges and a separate Gluon partial workspace for non-Editor artists. Stresses practical limits: no Scene/Prefab merge today so teams avoid conflicts by using single-branch locking for large binaries, and the team is actively exploring richer diff/merge and lock-on-branch workflows.
