We're excited to announce three new Smart TVs: the Fire TV Edition - Toshiba HD (2018), the Fire TV Edition - Insignia 4K (2018), and the the Fire TV Edition - Insignia HD (2018).

I hire artists, programmers, designers, sound effects artists, and musicians quite often. In this blog I will share a few tips on how to manage a team of people, and how to set that team up for success.

在日本，以历史事件和历史人物为主题的游戏和有许多美少女角色登场的游戏越来越受到男性用户的欢迎。

其中，全自动手机 RPG 游戏《放置少女》备受关注，这款游戏以三国志为世界观，不打开应用程序也可以进行美少女角色的养成与强化。

2018 年后人气飞速上涨，在日本 Amazon Appstore 内的销售额达到了上一年度的 13 倍。

​此次， Amazon Appstore 日本团队采访了负责《放置少女》 的运营及开发的 FightSong 公司。了解了此款在中国推进开发的《放置少女》在日本发布之前的插曲，以及一些独特的“ Amazon Appstore 使用方法”。

移り変わりの激しいスマートフォンゲーム業界において、タイトルの人気を持続させることは大きな課題のひとつ。その中で３年以上のロングランを続けているシューティングゲームが、「ゴシックは魔法乙女（通称：ゴ魔乙・ごまおつ）」。

そんな「ゴ魔乙」が2018年３月、Amazonアプリストアに登場。今回は「ゴシックは魔法乙女」を運営するケイブ社を訪問し、「シューティング×ソーシャル」のゴ魔乙が誕生するまでのウラ話や、Amazon版リリースの背景、そして３年以上タイトルの人気が続く秘訣がどこにあるのかを探るべくお話を伺いました。

第２弾として訪問したのは、フルオートのスマホRPGゲーム「放置少女」を手がけるFightSong社。2018年に入って更にアプリの人気が加速し、Amazonアプリストア内でも１年前と比べて売上が13倍になっています。

This blog will cover something very near and dear to my heart: player expression through gameplay. Basically, players being able to play how they want to play and not always exactly how the game or the designer wants them to play.

I’ve created dozens of card game prototypes and am working on numerous card-based projects I plan to release in the future. From working on these projects, I’ve noted some common elements that tend to make or break a digital card game’s design.

In June, we ran our third Mobile Masters event, an esports tournament where both casual and pro mobile game players compete side-by-side for their share of $100,000. Let's meet some of the players. 

In this post I’ll go through some basics on digital audio and the tools available to shape and refine that audio. In a follow-up post, I’ll talk about how to ultimately combine those elements into a cohesive mix with some audio examples. I will list any important jargon at the end for reference.

In the 1.0.7 release of Fire App Builder, we added a new feature that has become more relevant given the release of Fire TV Cube: voice interactivity with the media transport controls. Media transport controls refer to the play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward actions with your media player.

Missile Cards isn’t my first commercial project, but it’s one of the weirdest, most ambitious, and most successful games I’ve created to date. For me, learning is an important part of the process and each project brings new challenges, victories, and opportunities to share my experience with others.

As someone who has primarily made multiplayer games, playtesting has been an extremely important part of development. However it can be tricky to get helpful feedback under certain circumstances.

Compared to other tournaments they ran in the past, Eden Games reports a 20% increase in retention when real-world prizes were offered via GameOn.

In part one of this article series, we created our database and used it to display the values of each variable on the GUI. We only covered how to add basic data types as well as enums and other objects. This time, we will do some modifications to the original database.

During these office hours, you will be able to ask your technical questions, view live code demos, and discuss your GameOn use case. We will also explore best practices for competition management, real-world prizes, and more.
