Autodesk Stingray game engine to launch later this month

Today, Autodesk has announced that its Stingray game engine will launch on August 19, for a subscription fee of $30 a month. Later in the summer, the company plans to make the engine available free-of-charge to subscribers of its Maya LT modeling package.

The Stingray engine is built on the foundation of the Bitsquid engine; the company acquired Bitsquid last year, and announced its plans for the engine at this past GDC.

Stingray offers an upgrade to the Bitsquid tech, including one-click art workflows from Autodesk's art programs, unsurprisingly. It can deploy products onto iOS, Android, Windows, Oculus Rift, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
