So, OUYA. Will YA?

[Jonás Perusquía]

I will buy an OUYA even if GLBasic doesn't support it

I think the pre 4.0 market share is not really big today. You get 4.0 devices for 100,-

[spacefractal]

Yes, 4.x have market share over 50%, so is just time to upgrade, hehe. Howover don't remove sdk 2.2 of course, if you add 4.x support.

But I'm will different testing this console in this summer :-)

[spacefractal]

Ouya seen to been mixed game, based on the review. Howover its seen its a much better product than the failed GameGadget project. The console is soon out, even there is some deviver trouble.

Howover for  us, this seen to been a easy one to development too, but there might been sligtly java communication requirements, and not sure SDK 4.0 as developement is required, or we can countinue with SDK 2.2. Hopefully for Greedy Mouse im could doing to versions without inapp purchase, which would been easiest for us (think light & pro), but that more when im a day get this console.

Howover im get one this or in the next month. Im still like the idea.

PS. Im have just brought it from Amazon.co.uk, im should get it in 2-3 weeks or around there.

This is the one for me...

Uses normal Android O.S. with vanilla Play Store(No 3rd party stores or API's) and it's Tegra 4(which allows for PC gameplay streaming to your TV).

I am sure there's a downside but for me this is the device I have been waiting for.

[spacefractal]

im weill start looking for OUYA first to get working. Im pretty sure Genius Greedy Mouse would look awesome with its Retina graphics as well using 30 or 60fps framerate.

The only issue, when you using Play Store is..... How do the controller works, if the game dosent support its? They mostly all designed for touchscreen. its can been a issue me thinks.

[spacefractal]

if im doing import tv.ouya.console.api.OuyaController in the osdk, its seen its accept that, so SDK version seen not at a issue at all.

Howover im are just ordered the console and they firts divery from the store in about 1 week or two, so its will take a time. But my main focus over Karma Miwa would been port glbasic to this console (which later would expandable to other Android consoles as well, such as that one Mad Catz create).

To do the best possible supports, its will also require a new templateproj folder and also AndroidExtras would also been required too.

So im hope in a glbasic future beta, its would been possible to select a templateproj project folder.

The German customs are blocking the OUYA at the moment. Country wide.
We're about to get conditions like in Brasil if the continue this way.

[erico]

Yeah but Brasil´s conditions end in pizza... German ones are way more serious with way more work-hard-educated civilians.

I have read comments and reviews on Ohyeah from different places, and guess we all got to those, devs complaining about non-recover, controls,UI, etc...
I never had much of faith into this but I changed my mind and hope it can prove to be a good platform. Not enough for me to get to one yet.

Great work you are doing there Spacefractal.

[bigsofty]

Bad news about custom BTW. It's great that we have an Android console option, whatever the flavour. Even if we had PS3 or 360 options, I would still prefer the Android consoles I think, it feels less commercial somehow, if that makes sense?

[finnk]

I'm more interested in Mad Catz' MOJO take on this. It has access to the regular Google Play Store right out of the box. I didn't like that Ouya was pushing only freemium games, and even the Unity Ouya SDK is a bit complicated.

[erico]

I was definently kicked off by ouyeah for that very freemium push.

[spacefractal]

The most probnlem with Mad Catz console, the price might been higher, but the machine might perform better than this one. But me think, the main issue is, which games on Google Play wil support the controller? The market is very crowned and me thinks, only few might support it. Think iCade, so they most do a list on thier page, just like iCade.

Im think this is property the reason Ouya wont do that, that to avoid that issue and make sure all games is playable with its controller right way. Howover the controller its self seen very easy to been supported and only require which kind of buttons its use and then uses KEY() command from that, nearly without changes. Howover analoge controls might require a little attaction throuh java communication. Only inapp purchase can been a issue (another reason that must to been works).

When that is say, when SDK is working with this console, rest should been nearly no brainer to get them supported to with small changes.

I'm about to release my DitraFall game at OUYA Market the player will have to use the touchpad.

[spacefractal]

Im do have heard the touchpad is a area that is not very good, so you should not sololy using that alone. That is what im have heard about the review, the touchpad is pretty bad, but rest is nice and usable. But im will let you know, when im got mine.

Do you have a OUYA?

Mine will been dispated sooner than excepted.

But good luck with your game :-D
