The challenge
With customers at the core of Unity’s work, showing all the exciting projects the gaming engine enables is crucial to telling their story. That’s where “Made With Unity” comes in; their team’s sole focus is to showcase Unity’s community and projects. The team sources different projects to showcase and rotates them on Unity’s website. Additionally, Made with Unity has a large presence at Unite, the annual Unity user conference, where projects receive awards based on community voting.
Transferring Large Files Rapidly
The Made with Unity team runs independently of the rest of the organization and, thus, moves quickly and needs partners who accommodate their fast internal timelines. A large part of their work and success relies on the ability to transfer large files rapidly.
Reducing lag and latency
This challenge is compounded by the distributed nature of their team. There is no time for latency, and before Assembla, Made with Unity was facing “a DIY file transfer nightmare.” Managing repos internally was creating a lag in their ability to execute and they came to Assembla looking for a fully managed solution that needed to be implemented quickly.
Support for multiple VCS
Additionally, the “Made with Unity” team uses multiple repository types, Git and Perforce, for their projects. With their previous solution, the team had to manage multiple providers in order to use both of their preferred repository types.
