Unity

Unity is a cross-platform game development engine developed by Unity Technologies. It enables you to easily create rich interactive 3D experiences by providing ways to assemble your art and assets into scenes and environments, add physics, and simultaneously play-test and edit games. When you're finished building and testing, the Unity engine creates a finished binary for your chosen platform — such as an Android APK — which you can publish to Fire tablets and the Amazon Appstore.

Unity SDKs

- Apps & Games: Unity
- Sep 21, 2016
- (3.12 MB download)
- Contains 3 SDKs
- Release Notes
- Amazon Mobile Ads (1.0) - May 04, 2016
  - Resolved Issues
    - iOS: All callbacks (delegates) should now be fired correctly in all Cross-Platform Engines
    - iOS: Apps may now maintain multiple interstitial ads, similar to how the Android plugin works. Multiple ads can be created and loaded, then shown one at a time.
    - iOS: Only one banner ad can show at a time in each dock (one in 'top' and one in 'bottom'). Loading a different Floating Ad into a dock that currently contains a Floating Ad will cause the current Floating Ad to be removed from the screen before the new Ad is displayed.
    - Android: When an Interstitial Ad expires, it will no longer block new ads from being shown. An expired Interstitial Ad will now be ready to load new ad content into using the LoadInterstitialAd operation. If all available ads have expired, calling the ShowInterstitialAd operation will return FALSE and no ad will be shown. Likewise the IsInterstitialAdReady operation will return FALSE until one of the Interstitial Ads has successfully been loaded using the LoadInterstitialAd operation.
