Perhaps it was the out pour of gamers and developers on Android going “really? REALLY?” that prompted some new information about the next Unreal Engine and it’s developer kit in terms of Android support. Yesterday word spread that Unreal Engine would not be supporting Android for a few ‘reasons’.
Back during GDC 2011 we got to see a demo loop of a water racing game called Riptide GP.

Gameloft is turning 1yr old today regarding jumping onto the Android platform with their game releases. To celebrate, they are hosting an interesting giveaway for free games.

Honeycomb has been out for awhile now, about a month or so, and yet the source code has not been released to the public.

Nothing like an afternoon break from news to view someone dressed up as the Android mascot and dancing around in some random mall to terrible music.

Haptify has released a virtual pinball game onto the Android Market and unlike other pinball games currently available, Enzo’s Pinball features full tactile feedback.

It must be developer news day today or something, not that we are complaining. The more tools developers have, the better they can make good games with!
