Mudstack, the cloud-based asset management and collaboration platform for video game artists, has just launched a major update to its desktop app with version control features. The update is currently available in open beta.

Good news! We’ve launched Local Versions. All the benefits of version control you get using mudstack in the cloud are now available on your local machine.

What is Local Versions?

Local Versions automatically versions local files using mudstack.

Every time a user saves a file, regardless of file type or app, mudstack tracks and stores versions, allowing users to recall old overwritten saves. Users can also preview old versions within the app to keep their local directory clean.

You can view, manage, commit, and roll back art versions based on your needs. Additionally, you can set local destinations to automatically version any folder contents. This can save you and your art team time and worry as you explore changes to your art assets.

We're excited to deliver this update to our customers and community! As we approach our general release, we value your feedback. The team has been working diligently to finalize core functionality and establish a new standard for art asset management and collaboration.

For those who want more details, check out our documentation and changelog!

How do I get the update?

Windows and Mac users can download the open beta at https://mudstack.com/desktop/.

What’s next?

Mudstack's upcoming releases include Annotations for faster markup and screen capturing, as well as Cloud Versions with Local Sync for seamless and automatic version control and file management across local and cloud.

Mudstack is dedicated to improving asset management and collaboration together.
