Capitalizing on the attention Android is getting this week thanks to Google I/O 2015, NVIDIA has been busy with some announcements about new hardware and now, software as well. Yesterday NVIDIA officially started selling their Android-TV based NVIDIA SHIELD console. Today, they announced a new suite of developer tools called NVIDIA AndroidWorks that will be available to all Android platforms, not just those powered by Tegra processors. 

NVIDIA noted great gaming needs more than great hardware, it needs developers who can produce great game titles. To help make that happen, NVIDIA has packed in support, samples, libraries and tools to give developers a cutting edge environment for games and graphics development.

NVIDIA indicates the new AndroidWorks development tools are based on their Tegra Android Developer Pack. They promise to issue frequent updates so developers can be assured their work will run on the latest hardware and operating system versions. By using AndroidWorks, developers should be able to speed up their development process and focus more on game content as opposed to mechanics. NVIDIA also said the new package will help game developers “unshackle” themselves from the constraints of the Android software development kit.
