GameArt2D vs Unity Version Control

GameArt2D is a marketplace for royalty-free 2D game art assets, with more than 100 items. The catalog includes platformer and top-down tilesets, character spritesheets, game GUI, space-shooter assets, backgrounds, icons, and other graphics. Free assets are available for Unity, Godot, Unreal, and other game engines. Paid items include single assets and bundles: the Nature Platformer Tileset Bundle contains 12 packs, and the Spec-Ops pack has four animated characters, each with 22 animation states and 10 frames per animation. Spec-Ops supports several 2D engines, including Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine Paper2D, GameMaker Studio, Construct, and Cocos2d, and includes PNG animation sequences, Spriter SCML, and vector source files.

Purchased assets can be used in personal or commercial projects, including paid, freemium, and ad-supported games. The license allows unlimited copies, sales, or downloads of games made with the assets, but prohibits reselling or redistributing the assets themselves. Freebies are offered under Creative Commons Zero or public-domain terms. Free assets cost nothing; the listed 4 Directional Sprite costs $18, paid once, and the Nature bundle costs $29.99, paid once.

Unity Version Control is an engine-agnostic source control tool for game development teams working with large files and binaries. It supports centralized and distributed workflows with branching and merging, as well as file-based workflows for artists. Smart Locks check that a user has the latest version before allowing a file lock, helping reduce merge conflicts. Teams can use Unity-hosted cloud servers or run the server on their own infrastructure. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Linux. Named integrations and supported tools include JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, Bamboo, Unreal Engine and Discord. The free tier is free and includes unlimited cloud seats, 25 GB storage per organization per month and 100 GB egress per month; usage beyond included limits is pay-as-you-go. Unity lists on-prem seats at $38 a month. Upload and download communications use SSL, and permissions can be set for repositories, branches and individual items.
