Quick to take advantage of new tool
Following on from news about the launch of GameMaker: Studio, YoYo Games has announced its first major client.
Having previously signed up for the beta, German developer HandyGames is already developing its first title using the technology - a role-playing game that it says brings an innovative new approach to the genre.
"We have known about GameMaker for years, but once we heard about a cross platform GameMaker product, we knew we needed to be involved right away," said CEO Markus Kassulke.
"Our experience with the beta convinced us the tool was extremely efficient, yet powerful. We also met with the team at YoYo Games to discuss GameMaker: Studio and the future product vision and we very much like where it's headed."
