Game developers are excited about Lore, citing its potential to replace Perforce. One developer notes:
For context, since a lot of people on HN haven’t worked on games – this is not intended to compete with Git for general software development. This is a competitor with Perforce for game development.
Another developer praises Lore’s user interface, comparing it to Git:
I know all of these things communicate something to the die-hard Git user, but for most people (even most people using Git, I bet) this is just complete gobbledegook. What the hell is ‘delta compression’?
Lore’s features, such as exclusive locks, are particularly useful for game development. As one developer explains:
One artist might need to obtain an exclusive lock on some art assets while editing them, because there is no sane way to merge two artists’ async edits.
