Diversion

Diversion is a version control platform for game studios on Unreal Engine or Unity, keeping code and large art assets in one repository, priced per user.

Diversion holds a game's source code and its heavy art files under one version history, so both move through the same branches and the same reviews. It is built for game development, AI workflows, 3D work and large software projects. Behind it is Diversion Company, Inc., which sells the platform under the Diversion name. It runs as a hosted service, and enterprise teams can also run it on premises or in a private cloud. Changes reach the main line through Reviews, where teammates comment inline, approve the work or request modifications on code and assets alike. Branch protection blocks direct commits to a chosen branch and holds each merge until it collects the approvals the team requires. Access is set with READ, WRITE and ADMIN permission modes, with groups, and with granular permissions down to individual paths. The workspace also carries Art Previews, the SlothBot AI assistant, Hard Locks, Obliterate and Prune. Diversion for UE and Diversion for Unity connect the two game engines to a repository, while GitHub Mirroring keeps a copy of the work on GitHub. The core audience is game studios working in Unreal Engine or Unity, where art and code grow together in one project. That runs from small indie teams to large studios with separate art and engineering groups sharing one repository. Animation, virtual production and architectural visualization teams handle the same kind of heavy 3D files and use it for the same reasons. Groups doing AI and LLM development fit as well. Schools and universities use it to teach version control to students, and enterprises that must keep their source on their own servers run it inside their own infrastructure. Daily work centres on the engine and the build pipeline. Artists and programmers commit to the same repository, then meet in a review before anything lands on a protected branch. Build servers such as Jenkins, TeamCity and Horde are configured to pull straight from a Diversion repository, so a merged change can flow into the next build. Studios that bring in outside contractors scope their access to the repositories and paths they need. Single sign-on through identity providers like Okta and Entra ID keeps a large team's logins in one place. Diversion suits a studio whose art and code have to be branched, reviewed and released as one project.
