Does anyone know if it was possible for the latest update and can an ouya dev please comment on this.

Wifi extenders can not be used, because a house mate apparently gets head aches with them and I do not want to go into that. I at least want to try this. As ouya crappy wifi might be the solution.

But now I am. So this is a whole new experience for me. Right now however I am going to release my games as 100% free. But with the Legena series in full swing, I am excited to start selling the games for the Ouya.

But it's got me thinking. What ways can you deal with IAP? I just want to know in terms of programming full-game purchasing what aspects I will need to take into consideration for developing the IAP.

Like for example, programming menus for the IAP.

Any help is appreciated!

The wireless connection where I am is a bit "dodgy". The updates almost never complete, I get a prompt 9 out of 10 times saying I should check my internet connection...the xbox and a farely cheap android tablet seems to pick up well at the same spot :/

I really wish I could cancel the update process temporarily, they just pop up and again and again, repeatably failing. Apps download with no problems though, I don't know why updates keep failing.

Is there a way known how to show Ads in Unity games (at the loading screens for example)? As I unterstand AdMob this is click payed which should not work with Ouya. 

Doesn't seem right to me. It's great for the developers behind the launch titles, but are new OUYA developers right to be concerned about this?

I'd really like to accept OUYA's challenge for their campaign, but it could be viewed as a conflict of interest by my employer.

Anyone having the same issue?

If you go to the main OUYA page, it says (as of now) that there are 320 games on the OUYA, but are all of the games really on the "Discover" screen? I may be mistaken and I wont go and count them all, but it seems like half of that.

The ranking also needs a lot of work, it seems that all it does is make popular games even more popular while throwing new games to the gutter.

Just wondering if that's even something people are able to do if they really want to. So is it possible? And if so what would someone in theory have to do?

Not really planning on doing it, but just interested to see what the scoop is. 

It explains the whole W-8BEN form and it's purpose - some of you guys might find it useful.

My one question is this - is it possible to claim back the 30% withholding tax if we file an international tax return? Some insight on this matter would be good as it is impossible for us to get an ITIN before launch.

EDIT: wow wow wow, thanks to copyright.com!!! : http://www.copyright.com/content/dam/cc3/marketing/documents/pdfs/Tax-Forms-Instructions-Non-US-Rightholders.pdf

You can call +1-267-941-1099 for an EIN immediately if you are a partnership (takes merely the time of the call). This way you can be exempt from the 30% taxation.

I don't seem to be able to cleanly power off the Ouya.

If I select 'Y' from the main page, then select 'OUYA', it appears to only shut down the monitor/gamepad for a few seconds.

Then, the monitor turns back on and I'm facing the same 'power off' dialog, only this time with the gamepad off. If I turn gamepad back on, I get taken back to main page, from where trying to power off the ouya again results in the same thing happening...

adb install -r game.apk

Shouldn't that move my apk to the MAKE > BUILDS as the docs say? It instead moves my apk straight to PLAY. 

Thanks. 

At the venue I'm mainly considering, the hotel would cost 20€/night/person for a shared room (4 beds) and 50€/night for a single room. I hope to find sponsors to cover the cost of the meeting rooms, but without sponsors, I'm pretty sure I could organize the conference, so the program would cost 50€ per person (not including food). It's also close to the Berlin Schönefeld airport, so it would be very easy to reach for those flying in.

I'm looking to have 30-50 participants. If you're interested in meeting other OUYA devs in Berlin, please fill out this doodle - http://doodle.com/bevr8ea69eampzz6 - with your Twitter name and which weekends you'd be able to attend. If you don't have a Twitter account, just put in your real name or your Ouya username. I'd like to organize it at the end of September or beginning of October. I'm thinking Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.

Be sure to star this forum discussion, so you'll be notified when there is more information about this event!

If enough people indicate interest on the doodle, I'll start organizing it!

I just created a CD (sorry, shameless self-promotion BUT it's on-topic) here: http://t.co/H9UOE7f8uG

I'm stuck in a place where I don't know how to spread the word. Word-of-mouth, Facebook, and Twitter don't seem to be doing much (one purchase so far) and sites like ReverbNation are extremely intimidating because I have such a weird, not mainstream sound to my music. No one goes to indie music sites to find symphonic/electro-acoustic instrumental albums. They go for the acoustic guitar "indie sound" that has become the norm.

So what if we created a section of the Discover Store, an OUYA app, or a new menu on the OUYA that allowed other independent art forms to be sold/promoted? I'm not necessarily looking for a way to get more money; in fact, just to promote this new store I'd give away my music for free. I just want a place where my hard work can be heard.

Are there any OUYA devs or even staff out there that could talk to me about this idea? Is it do-able?

(Tl,dr: I want an "iTunes" specifically for OUYA users.)

Edit: Made title more relevant.
