International CES -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for home entertainment, networking, mobile and embedded applications, and YoYo Games, the creator of GameMaker: Studio™, announced the release of fast and easy game development software for MIPS-Based™ products such as tablets and other devices. GameMaker: Studio™ MIPS™ Edition, created by YoYo Games exclusively for MIPS-Based devices, is now available on the YoYo Games website free-of-charge.

GameMaker: Studio MIPS Edition enables game developers to quickly and easily create games for MIPS-Based devices and then seamlessly submit them for publishing to multiple app stores. It includes the same functionalities as the GameMaker: Studio Professional version plus the Android export capability—with the exception that it publishes games exclusively for Android devices based on the MIPS® architecture.

GameMaker: Studio MIPS Edition features an integrated development environment complete with fonts, sounds, images, music and more. It also features GameMaker Language, a powerful scripting language that lets developers control details such as pathfinding, physics, object interaction, particles, data structures, social networking, payment features and a comprehensive source control scheme to facilitate game creation within teams.

GameMaker: Studio is a leading 2D development suite for game developers producing well-known games including They Need to Be Fed, Froad, and Karoshi, which was named Pocket Gamer's 2012 Android Game of the Year. With the new MIPS Edition, developers of existing GameMaker games can quickly bring their games to MIPS-Based devices.

According to Gideon Intrater, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies, "We are delighted to offer game developers the opportunity to create games for MIPS-Based devices at no charge. Through our collaboration with YoYo Games, game developers and students will gain access to free development software, and owners of MIPS-Based mobile devices can anticipate many new games and apps—continuing to broaden the mobile ecosystem around the MIPS architecture."

"We have always believed in the importance of the MIPS architecture and are pleased to work with MIPS to further proliferate our popular GameMaker: Studio platform," said Sandy Duncan, chief executive officer at YoYo Games. "With their affordable price points, MIPS-Based tablets can reach a broad range of consumers, creating a really compelling opportunity for game developers. Seasoned and novice game developers can download GameMaker: Studio™ MIPS Edition for free and experience the ease and power of GameMaker: Studio."
