Investing in a Digital Asset Management (DAM) tool is a big decision for a game studio, but is it a decision your studio even needs to make right now?

There are several reasons why you might want to defer the decision for later. Here are our top 5:

1: You Have a Small Team & It's Not Growing
If you have just a handful of artists on staff, managing the content created— locations, versions, approvals, etc— is probably not a pain for your team.
If you don't have plans to grow (and that is 100% fine), your existing processes are likely serving you well enough to not have to bother with a DAM.

2: You Know Where to Find Every File
Your file naming conventions, folder structures and workflow practices have joined forces, enabling you to find what you need in seconds. If this is true, congratulations! You might not need a DAM.

3: Version Control is Easy for Your Artists
Your artists love Git or Perforce, and they don't struggle with branching, shelving, locking or checking out files. 

Or perhaps you don't even bother to version source assets, and have decided that the risk is worth the reduced hassle of dealing with versioning these files.

4: Your Feedback Process is Working Great
If your remote/async team is happy managing feedback across Slack/Teams/Jira/Miro etc, and feedback being disconnected from the files hasn't proven to be a problem, then you might not need a DAM.

Reason 5: You Have Limited Resources
You've already paid for Google Workspace for your email, so why not rely on Google Drive for your cloud storage? If your team primarily works on 2D assets, this is probably the right decision — after all, you can preview these file formats even in Drive, and deal with its suboptimal versioning abilities.

You might not have the option to entertain additional costs for a custom DAM built for game studios till you have more resources.

-----------
If, however, these reasons don't resonate, you might want to consider a DAM custom built for game studios.

Whew... what a journey it's been the last few years.

Building a startup is incredibly hard— you can't know till you try it. Kinda like being a parent.

Proud to have worked with many hundreds of early users to shape and define the v1 of mudstack— it's finally live and available for anyone to try.

Do take a look if you're in the #gamedev space!

After over a year in development since our alpha release, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of mudstack v1! We are officially out of beta and ready to play!

You can now download our desktop app and onboard your existing projects in minutes, using our auto tagging system to rapidly organize your content.

Let mudstack watch for changes and manage versioning so that you can send your content to the cloud when you're ready. 

Your team gets easy access to a single source of truth for your source files.

Give your artists version control that’s built for them. 

mudstack’s version control:
- works at the file level, not at the project level.
- automatically creates versions locally as you save work.
- gives each user a unified view of all local changes, allowing them to pick files and versions to commit and push to the cloud in one go.

Integrated previews, asset management and review tools make mudstack a one stop shop for modern distributed art teams working at scale.

We are beyond grateful to our early users and customers— your feedback has been invaluable in ensuring that we’re building the right product for digital art teams.

Stop struggling with Google Drive / Slack / Perforce etc when it comes to managing your source art pipeline.

mudstack is free for artists, so what are you waiting for? Head over to mudstack.com, download the app and give it a shot!
