Windows Apps Team

Marmalade is a powerful cross-platform, native game development environment. With Marmalade, developers can build in C++ with full support for standard libraries and third-party extensions, then compile directly to native machine code with no appreciable performance overhead.

Many compelling games built for Windows and Windows Phone using Marmalade include:

Jumping Jupingo	Galaxy Run	Astroslugs	Traffic Master
Fantasy Breaker	Grave Defense	Slumber Sam	Football Director

Marmalade has supported Windows Phone for some time; today we are announcing, with the release of Marmalade 7.4, expansion of this support for some of the most important new features of Windows Phone 8.1, including:

Support for on-the-fly compilation of DirectX shaders,
Support for shared entitlements across Windows Store and Windows Phone Store, enabling you to deliver a uniform application experience across device type, and
Use of APPX package format, paving the way for Universal app support.
