Looks interesting... Funny thing to me is that 3 days ago I said to my Wife, "I can't believe Amazon hasn't tried cornering the game dev/supply market yet." Here they are...

hehe, you should be hired by a business plan prediction department in the gaming industry grin

I think, the guys at Amazon really want to sell their web services, and badly need games for their cheap console-like set-top-box called Fire TV...

, Lumberjack and the zombie apocalypse cool

ps: Amazon has surprisingly quite a bit of synergies with Lumberyard and their other products (their web services, Twitch, their stores etc.). Will be interesting to see if they can compete with Unreal and Unity.

one funny thing is that Epic started to integrate Twitch, but the Twitch SDK was withdrawn not a long time ago, so it has been stopped...

imo AWS integration is cool if you don't want to maintain your own server park. and selling games at Amazon could be something like Steam integration, but probably easier to implement networking stuff thanks to the integration with AWS.

but the workflow is the same as of Cryengine, you need Max or Maya, and maybe Photoshop too. but the audio and GUI system are custom, which is a step forward (as I remember CryEngine uses something for audio that requires a license, and the UI stuff is Flash/Angelscript, but not for sure, I checked it a long time ago).

to be honest I'm currently satisfied with UE4, except the high hardware requirements, but this lumberthingie has even higher.

I never tried Cryengine myself, I can see that its main disadvantage would be to set-up/learn interface and workflow/toolset. And probably documentation too. I always saw Cryengine purely for AAA companies, Unity for indies and some AAA, and Unreal somewhere between. But perhaps Lumberyard will attract indie lumberjacks, only jack knows.
