YoYo Games are very proud to announce: Full GameMaker: Studio support for Amazon Fire! Our Android export module allows developers to create games for all Amazon Fire devices, including: Fire TV, Fire TV Stick and Fire tablets. We're very excited to be bringing the opportunities of a huge new market to our developers!

This means that anyone who purchases or has already purchased the Android export module can publish to all Amazon platforms.

If you don’t own the Android export module, you can still take part by activating a 60 day free Amazon Export trial, which will allow you to publish games to Amazon devices. You just need to link your Amazon account to your YoYo Games account. Simply Login to the website and link your Amazon account from your licenses page.

There is a useful article on getting started with Amazon devices which can be found by clicking here.

We are really looking forward to seeing what GameMaker developers can do using Amazon devices and services! Be sure to follow @YoYoGames on twitter and tweet us with your latest projects!
