Perforce Adds Unity 5 Integration with Updated P4Connect PluginALAMEDA, Calif., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Perforce Software today announced an updated version of its P4Connect Unity plugin, integrating the new Perforce Helix collaboration and software configuration management (SCM) platform with Unity 5, the latest edition of the industry leading multiplatform game engine and development tool suite. With the update, teams using Helix and Unity can utilize next-generation game development technology while protecting their most valuable IP with Perforce. P4Connect is free and available from the Unity store or Perforce's website, and the tool's source code is available from Perforce's open source Workshop. Next-Generation Development "The initial release of P4Connect was fantastic. It allowed for better integration of two of our favoite tools – Perforce and Unity," said Dan Higgins, co-founder of Lunchtime Studios. "With Unity 5's new terms of use and Perforce's ongoing support of indie studios with their free offering, it's like a whole new world. We indie developers don't want to spend our time thinking about how to pay for tools, we want to think about making our games great for those who play them. That's why the removal of price barriers and the placement of triple-A products like Perforce and Unity 5 in our hands is so important. We are as strong as our tools let us be, and we indie developers just got a lot stronger." Free for 20 Users "SCM is one of the most important components for game developers because it's the foundation for your entire game," said Christopher Seiwald, founder and CEO of Perforce. "As such, the degree to which you can integrate your SCM system with other tools—and do so seamlessly and in an automated way—can make or break productivity. That's why we're pushing to develop and support projects like P4Connect. We're committed to ensuring gamers have the most streamlined and productive development pipeline possible."
