My job is to keep an eye on these services, providing cost reports and support as needed. Several games I've played on this engine have left me speechless. Pros The aesthetics are stunning, and the landscaping is very straightforward in terms of complexity. The Gizmo widget is easy to identify and has a better tooltip to explain what the cog is doing. Cons The software has some limits, as well as the design options available to you. There is no doubt that there is opportunity for further development.

Systems Administrator Architecture & Planning ### "Amazon Lumberyard (To Infinity & Beyond) " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 15, 2021 This was my first time at attempting anything of this magnitude and I must say it has been quite the experience from day one until now. One thing's for sure though, it has been a rollercoaster ride seeing Lumberyard go through its growing pains but in the end, I believe it will prevail through it all. Pros You can develop games on various platforms such as PC, Android, Ios, MacOs, PS4 and Xbox. It's free to use so if you feel like getting your hands dirty and making your very own game come to life, you can certainly take a gander. Cons If you don't have a background as a software developer, then this might turn out to be quite mind boggling. The system requirements needed to run the engine are not mediocre either. You better have at least 14gb of RAM to spare, a 3GHZ quad-core processor and a semi-high-end GPU to render all of these graphics on your machine.

Nabin P. CEO Computer Software ### "A free AAA game engine with the power of AWS cloud and Twitch" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 11, 2021 It's a complete platform to develop and share modern games for PC, console, and mobiles. Pros A new game engine that integrates well with Amazon cloud services and utilizes realistic rendering of CryEngine. Suitable for developing games that rely high on cloud computing. Integration with Twitch makes it easier to build a fanbase. Above all Lumberyard is free with no hidden fees and strings attached. Cons It's a new game engine so it's harder to find help with errors. Cloud support is only limited to AWS. Switched from [CRYENGINE](https://www.capterra.com/p/210664/CRYENGINE/) Some of our multiplayer games needed cloud features, where Amazon Lumberyard exactly meets our needs. Alternatives considered [Unity](https://www.capterra.com/p/158591/Unity/) [Unreal Engine](https://www.capterra.com/p/158599/Unreal-Engine/) [CRYENGINE](https://www.capterra.com/p/210664/CRYENGINE/) Reasons for choosing Amazon Lumberyard For an easy cloud integration Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Programmer Computer Software ### "A very Amazon integrated game engine" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 July 29, 2021 Pros The Lumberyard engine is very interesting when integrated with other services, like the Twitch streaming platform, wich allows viewers to interact to the game. Cons As a brand new engine, it still has issues to be fixed, but that's normal.

Game Developer Computer Games ### "Incomplete but Amazing" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 7, 2020 Pros The best things about Lumberyard are definitely the tight native integration with AWS and Twitch, which is booming these days for game streaming. The out of the box support it provides for multiplayer is really convenient, even rivalling the offerings of heavyweights such as Unity and Unreal. Also the access to the free source code is a game changer offering in such a AAA game engine. It is also completely free with no revenue sharing or subscription fees. Cons I really don't like how restricted it is to the Amazon platform. You have to use AWS when you need multiplayer support or when deploying your games. You can't choose any alternatives that are better suited to your needs or those that are more economical. Also, the documentation is lacking which is makes it feel a bit more stressful when trying to get into this engine.
