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.

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.

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.

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.

Made with Unity works with large, binary files. By working with Assembla, their team increases file transfer up to 3 X as compared to an on-premise solution. Perforce Helix Core is a best in class tool used globally that accelerates development.

In their words, “[Perforce] scales for large teams, handles 1000s of daily transactions, and delivers files quickly to remote users.” According to Mike Wuetherick, a Producer for Unity and founder of the Made with Unity team, “Being able to get a global Perforce solution on-demand and fully managed with Assembla helped the Unity team do more and go faster by freeing up internal resources. Made with Unity’s previous solution was wasting time and money for the business. We see Assembla as a trusted partner and an extension of the team.”

In addition to Perforce, Made with Unity has Git projects spread across multiple cloud providers. There are no other cloud solutions on the market that allow teams to house Git and Perforce solutions together, in the cloud, in a fully managed way. Assembla’s ability to provide a central location to house Unity’s different client projects streamlines internal business operations.
