I'm curious - why does Amazon Lumberyard exist?

It doesn’t anymore but Amazon made a play to get into games that didn’t work out. I’m not sure any of their first party studios even used Lumberyard.

New world was created on Lumberyard, and it have excellent graphics and sound desinge but overall floped cause of no endgame content and tons of game breaking bugs (plus small max server populations).

Not sure about which one of (sound/graphics) are more dependend on engine.

Oh, it actually got released. There was some hype years ago, but I thought it got cancelled.

But I think Star Citizen switched over to Lumberyard from CryEngine. Though it stands to be seen, if this game will ever be released.

The starship model viewer is the game. It’s been out for years

IIRC New World actually got some RTX 3090s (?) to actually fry due to IIRC some weak soldering of some chips
