YoYo Update Brings Ads and Analytics to Gamemaker
Crossplatform games development studio can export to iOS, Android and HTML5 as well as desktop

YoYo Games is updating its games development studio Gamemaker. The update adds integration for a wider range of monetisation and analytics services including iAds, AdColony, AdMob, Google Analytics, Google Play Licensing, MoPub, and SupersonicAds.


Games created using the platform can be exported to run on Android, iOS, and HTML5 web formats, as well as Windows and OSX.


"The challenge associated with monetising games is one of the biggest concerns facing developers," says YoYo Games CEO Sandy Duncan. "In GameMaker: Studio, we’ve removed the technical limitations so that games developers can focus on creating great games and selecting the best monetisation strategy, with no additional resources required. It’s a win-win situation for developers as well as service providers who now have access to GameMaker: Studio’s large and rapidly growing community and the treasure trove of new intellectual properties they are creating."
