In their own words
Roblox Studio
Roblox Studio is a free 3D development environment for building, scripting, testing, and publishing Roblox experiences on Windows and macOS. Its drag-and-drop tools place, move, rotate, texture, and refine objects in worlds. A script editor provides syntax highlighting, code completion, and inline documentation. Device emulation and playtesting let creators check experiences across screen sizes and form factors. The built-in Assistant can answer questions, update a project’s data model, modify scripts, generate materials and textures, and automate bulk actions. Real-time collaboration and group access controls support shared work on projects and assets. The Creator Store provides models, meshes, images, sounds, videos, and plugins. Open Cloud supplies REST APIs for games, servers, data stores, restrictions, and other Roblox resources, with API keys and OAuth 2.0. The free plan costs nothing and requires a Roblox account.
Unity Version Control
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.
