In November 2017 Amazon has announced a new game engine to create WebVR experiences: Amazon Sumerian.

The news got a big hype, but after the big wave of the hype, the sea has returned calm. But the product is still there, in limited preview: you can apply to enter to see how it works.

I applied for the preview on November 2017 and I entered it two weeks ago, so I spent some time playing with this new product. I started publishing posts of my experiments on my social media and a lot of people got curious and made me questions about it. The most popular ones have been:

  • How is it?
  • Is it easy to learn?
  • When will it be officially released?
  • How is it compared to Unity?
  • How is it compared to A-Frame?

To answer all of them, I decided to make a short video. If you’re curious as well, you can watch it now

And if you want to read a more in-depth review of my hands on with this new game engine, you can read my thorough review directly on my blog:

I hope to have answered all your curiosities about Sumerian… if this is not the case, ask me anything here in the comments section or on my social media channels!

Let’s keep in touch!
