Denis Dyack Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) "The engine is designed and built for the future of gaming, utilising AWS and the cloud to the fullest" - Denis Dyack, Apocalypse Studios For developers just starting in the industry, the task of choosing the best game engine can be daunting. Here, we'll try to address many of the issues concerning Amazon Lumberyard, so you can see if it's the right game engine for your project. You can read our other in-depth guides on all the major game engines on this page. Amazon's involvement in games has grown exponentially since its first foray in 2008 with the acquisition of Reflexive. The announcement of its cloud gaming service, Luna, earlier this year, is the culmination of years of trial and error. From its Kindle Fire days in 2011 to the acquisition of Double Helix in 2014, from Amazon Underground and the development of its first game in 2015, to the unfortunate fate of Crucible this year, the tech giant has seen highs and lows. But one aspect of its gaming business that's been growing steadily is its development engine. Amazon launched Lumberyard in 2016, as a free 3D game engine. The development tool is based on Crytek's CryEngine, which Amazon licensed in April 2015 for an undisclosed sum rumoured to be between $50 and $70 million. But Amazon Lumberyard now stands firmly on its own feet, having progressively moved away from CryEngine. Since its initial release, 70% of the original code base has been overhauled, Amazon recently said. The engine is still in beta and the latest iteration, 1.26, released in October 2020. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-16-what-is-the-best-game-engine-is-amazon-lumberyard-right-for-you Edited October 20, 2020 by Denis Dyack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Fuller Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Do we have information on what minimum specs are for the engine/game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Dyack Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Do we have information on what minimum specs are for the engine/game? We have not really scoped this out yet. However, we are targeting average machines for minimum specs, so expect nothing out of the ordinary here. If this changes, we will let everyone know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
