Amazon Lumberyard is a free cross-platform triple-A game engine developed by Amazon and based on the architecture of CryEngine, which was licensed from Crytek in 2015.[3][4][5] The engine features integration with Amazon Web Services to allow developers to build or host their games on Amazon's servers, as well as support for livestreaming via Twitch.[6] The source code is available to end users with limitations: users may not publicly release the Lumberyard engine source code or use it to release their own game engine.[7] Lumberyard launched on February 9, 2016 alongside GameLift, a fee-based managed service for deploying and hosting multiplayer games, intended to allow developers to easily develop games that attract "large and vibrant communities of fans."[8] The software is currently in beta and can be used to build games for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, PlayStation 4,[9][8] with limited support for iOS and Android.[10]
Amazon released an update to Lumberyard on March 14, 2016, which included support for certain mobile devices, such as A8-powered iOS devices and Nvidia Shield, an FBX importer, and integration with Allegorithmic's texturing software Substance.[10][11]
