Good news for those making PlayStation titles as Sony subsidiary SN systems has launched version 2 of its SN-DBS distributed build system. The system is available as a license free download to all PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation portable developers.
The product comes in multiplatform and it will work for projects on all Sony systems, when it is used in conjunction with a platform-specific compiler. The new version SN-DBS distributed system includes major improvements like:
1) Building of multiple projects in parallel
2) Faster builds than its 1.4 version
3) An improved GUI with project view
4) Improved support for asset builds
SN-DBS reduces compile time by distributing source code builds between cooperating PCs over a network. The device can be used for building assets via command line.
SN reported that support fees will no longer be associated with this product but it will continue to offer support and develop SN-DBS on an ongoing basis following feedback from game title developers.
