These games were built using the free Lumberyard engine, a way for Amazon to create strategic partnerships from the ground level of game development. Although frightening, Gilmore calls New World one of the most beautiful games he’s ever seen. The game takes place an alternate 16th Century North America, where European legends and folklore are true and what was supposed to be a promised, virgin New World turns out to be a country of nightmares. New World is being developed in Amazon’s Orange County studio and taps into the ever-popular open world survival crafting genre.

There can only be one player of the game, so alliances form, as do plots of betrayal on top of first person shooter skills required to win. The broadcaster plays as a sort of game master (much like a Dungeon Master in Dungeons & Dragons), hosting and interacting with viewers then changing the gameplay elements to “put on a great show.” Although the broadcaster isn’t meant to be a troll, “that’s part of the fun,” Gilmore laughed, which leads to some interesting social elements. “It turns out that a lot of the thing that you do to make a game fun to watch also make them fun to play.” Metastream can be overlayed over a broadcast with data provided by Amazon games in real time-providing information akin to a sports player’s stats during a live game.Ĭrucible, meanwhile, is a last-man-standing multiplayer game. “The game itself is designed to be fun to broadcast,” Gilmore told listdaily. Breakaway integrates Twitch directly into gameplay from chat to currency.Īmazon Games’ Breakaway is getting a lot of attention at the show-a game that was designed with Twitch in mind and the first to utilize Twitch’s new currency system. Twitch Prime, a free, upgraded service for Amazon Prime members includes benefits like free games (including Streamline), one free subscription to any Twitch channel each month and discounts on new release box games on Amazon during the pre-order period and first two weeks following launch. Above all else, Gilmore said that gaming was at the heart of the service planning. “When Twitch Prime was born, we wanted it to be a love letter to gamers,” he said.

Patrick Gilmore, studio head at Amazon Games joined listdaily on the floor of TwitchCon 2016 to discuss the announcement of three games, the Lumberyard engine and of course, Twitch Prime. “I’m just blown away,” exclaimed Gilmore, speaking about the value of a subscription and the way Twitch Prime helps support broadcasters.
