Kim Swift and Clink Hocking are now making games for Fire TV and Kindle Fire.
Swift joined Amazon this month and is best known for her work on Portal, but went on to work with Airtight Games on Quantum Conundrum.
Hocking has been at Amazon since February, having previously worked on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2 at Ubisoft. He later joined LucasArts and Valve leaving the latter in December 2013.
Amazon appears to be making a considerable investment in its Amazon Game Studios development team, which has already cranked out Fire TV exclusive Sev Zero. Many more titles are on the way, as you can see in the trailer below.

 A piece of trivia: back in September 2013, Konami released a Star Wars card-battler called Star Wars: Force Collection. It was okay.
It didn't step too far away from the classic card-battler formula, but there was great appeal to gathering up a collection of cool Star Wars trading cards.
Roughly six months on and LucasArts has released its latest Star Wars mobile game. It also appears to be ...

I imagine a fair number of people were of the "oh great, another Star Wars card game" opinion when Star Wars: Assault Team was announced, and I can't say I blame them. But while it does make use of a few unfortunate monetization techniques, it's actually not a bad time. In fact, it's kind of clever. As with most Star Wars games these days, Assault Team just can't seem to avoid using notable characters from the movies. On the one hand, as a fan of the franchise, I think it's about time to start exploring the expanded universe a bit more (or even create new characters entirely). But on the other, I can see why LucasArts would want to stick with the names most of the general public will be familiar with.

Perils of Man, the iPad adventure game co-designed by LucasArts veteran Bill Tiller, hit the App Store a week or so ago. But that was really just a teaser, designed to set up the story.
That story, if you forgot, is about Swiss teen Ana Eberling, who's on the hunt for her "rogue scientist" father, but winds up finding out the secret history of her family, solving a century-old mystery.
