The Amazon Lumberyard Games Engine Enables the Creation of Vivid Games

— February 9, 2016 — Tech
The average consumer has transitioned from merely a consumer of media to a creator, which the Amazon Lumberyard games engine looks to make even more applicable. A free application that enables game creators to create cross-platform renderings, Amazon Lumberyard offers the essentials to worry less about spending hours creating a game engine.

The population of creative makers has grown exponentially over the past few years. As consumers become less satisfied with traditional offerings from brands and begin foraying into creating things themselves, innovations like Amazon Lumberyard will likely continue. The games engine service also links with Twitch to enable users to create, share and interact from a single platform without having to worry about the multiple roadblocks that can oftentimes exist.
Trend Themes
1. Consumer-creator Shift - As consumers become more interested in creating their own content, there is a growing opportunity for companies to provide tools and platforms that support this shift.
2. Cross-platform Game Development - With the rise of multi-device gaming, there is a need for game creation tools that can seamlessly adapt to different platforms, opening up opportunities for businesses to create innovative solutions.
3. Integration of Social Platforms - By integrating social platforms like Twitch into game creation tools, companies can tap into the growing trend of collaborative and interactive content creation.
Industry Implications
1. Software Development - As game creation apps become more popular, there is a disruptive innovation opportunity for software development companies to create user-friendly tools that cater to the needs of the growing consumer-creator market.
2. Gaming Industry - The rise of cross-platform game development opens up new possibilities for the gaming industry to create immersive experiences that can be enjoyed across different devices and platforms.
3. Social Media and Streaming - Integrating social media platforms like Twitch into game creation tools offers disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses in the social media and streaming industry to capture the interest of content creators.
