**Get all the tools and features you need to successfully deploy your game to mobile phones and VR headsets, including support for multiple platforms, automated builds, and collaboration features. Plus, with robust security controls and reliable support from people that make games. So you can focus on what matters most: creating a great game.**

I found deploying a Unity game to mobile phones or VR headsets can be a challenging process, especially if you are working with a large team and need to manage multiple builds and configurations. I wanted a game dev centric devops solution which includes powerful version control features from Git, can help streamline deploying process for the whole team and make it easier to release updates and new versions of your game, while also facilitating collaboration among team members. I was lucky to be apart of [Wevr](https://wevr.com) a talented game dev team and devops engineers that wanted to make this devops platform we call [WVS](https://bit.ly/3XQjwAI).

One of the key features of WVS for Unity game deployment is support for a variety of deployment targets. This can include mobile phones (iOS, Android) as well as VR headsets (Oculus, HTC Vive). WVS also allows you to create platform-specific build configurations and settings to ensure that your game is optimized for each target platform. And, to make the process even easier, WVS has all of these configuration features set up and ready for use, or can be customized to fit your specific needs.

WVS extends Git’s powerful version control system that is widely used in software development, and it is an essential tool for game development as well. With WVS, you can take advantage of Git's capabilities in a cloud-hosted environment, allowing you to track changes to your code and assets, revert to previous versions if needed, and collaborate with other team members in real time. WVS's tight integration with Git allows game teams to create separate dev branches for different levels or fixes, and easily merge these changes back into the main branch when they are ready. This can be especially useful when working on a large, complex game with multiple remote developers and a high rate of change. WVS has addressed the issues game devs have had with Git in the past: 1) We have optimized LFS to deal with large binary files efficiently, and 2) we have an easy to use GUI for non-technical team members (while devs familiar with Git can continue to use your favorite Git client). WVS via Git provides code review features, which can help ensure the quality and consistency of your codebase. Overall, WVS's cloud-hosted Git is an essential tool for game development that can help your team work more efficiently and effectively.

Another important feature for Unity game deployment is the ability to create cloud testing and staging environments. This can allow you to test and debug new features and changes before they are deployed to production, ensuring that your game is of the highest quality. WVS has automation framework called Flows that enables game developers to use preconfigured Flows to automatically run Unity game builds on WVS cloud machines and push completed builds directly to the teams mobile phones or VR headsets. 

Team collaboration is key when working on a Unity game with a remote team, and WVS can help facilitate this process. WVS has features such as automation, deployment, and code review to allow team members to work together effectively. The team can leverage a full featured issue tracker and wiki to communicate priorities or asset reviews. This can be especially useful for the art team, producers, and developers to share and review code, assets and tasks.  WVS increases team velocity by being a purpose built game-engine development devops platform. 

Finally, WVS provides robust security controls to protect your code and resources from unauthorized access and data breaches. And WVS has reliable and responsive support to help you resolve any issues or questions you may have during the deployment process.

Overall, WVS can automate and greatly simplify the process of deploying a Unity game to mobile phones or VR headsets, and provide a range of tools and features to help ensure the success of your game, while also making it easy for the whole team to collaborate and work together effectively.
