About Amazon Lumberyard
Amazon Lumberyard was launched in 2016 by Amazon. It was developed to provide game developers with a powerful, free engine that integrated seamlessly with AWS for cloud services and Twitch for live streaming. The engine was based on CryEngine, which Amazon licensed from Crytek, and aimed to support the creation of high-quality games with robust multiplayer features.
Amazon Lumberyard's strengths included deep integration with AWS and Twitch, advanced graphics capabilities, and robust networking features. Its weaknesses involved a steep learning curve, limited documentation, and slower updates compared to other engines. Competitors included Unity, Unreal Engine, and CryEngine.
