I have done a little iOs coding before, and xcode deploys the app onto a device almost instantly. I messed around with an ouya emulator and its incredibly slow, both at startup and while running the app.

How is this for the OUYA device? Can I connect my OUYA to a PC and a TV, click play in eclipse and Im ready to go? :D

We submitted March 17 and are still "under review", we're getting a bit nervous.

Any help is appreciated!

cheers,

Apk error: package debuggable flag be false

(this is at the https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/games link)

I'm not sure how to fix it! Can anyone help?

I'm hoping somebody from team OUYA can help me, my game is very nearly done, but can you tell me the absolute final deadline for submission to make it onto the store for launch?

According to the FAQ the review period is 3 days on average, which would mean to be on by Thursday I would have to submit before tomorrow to be in review Monday-Tueday-Wednesday? Is this the case or are you planning on throwing much more manpower on the days up to launch to get as much on the store as possible?

A deadline in terms of hours would be great (i.e 21:00 GMT on 25/03/13).

I'm desperate to get my game out on the store for launch and once I know the final deadline I can decide on whether sleep is acceptable.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I need to ask something about texture compression on OUYA.

Which compression type is best for OUYA, since OUYA use Tegra so it should be DXT. But, which is better, DXT-1 or DXT-5?

Because I really need to improve my games FPS.

Many Thanks

My name is Nate Beck and I'm a co-founder at The Engine Company (http://theengine.co).

Next week we'll be announcing OUYA as a first tier platform that we support.  This includes all of our really awesome live asset and code reloading.  Feel free to check out the video on our home page.

I also wanted to let everyone know that we're giving away the engine for free for another 14 days (basically through the last day of GDC).  So if you want Loom for free, I urge you to sign up.

I'll also be lurking around these forums if you guys have any questions regarding using Loom on OUYA.

Cheers,

Nate

Very few have entered so you've got a pretty great chance!

I am the lucky person who was the first one to guess correctly the amount of Ouyas on the crate in the #ouyacrate competition.

But fear not! That's where my luck ended.

First the Ouya team hastily congratulated to a wrong person (who maybe got the prize too, idk) and when a third party questioned this in a tweet, I finally got acknowledged.

I was asked to DM them but I couldn't so I replied quickly and sent them an email.

Then I waited.

After 4 days I got tired of waiting and sent them another email.

And then I waited some more.

After 11 more days I got tired of waiting - again - and tweeted about it.

Guess what? I ultimately never heard back from them this time either. They did tweet me back that they were waiting for my DM and I explained that it could not be done and then the silence begun again.

Today, a whole month after the competition I got tired of waiting - yet again - and tweeted but no avail.

I'm beginning to feel pretty certain that I'll never see the dev console I was promised as a prize (because I understand that there are no more dev units to send) and now I'm close to the point where I regret ever backing the whole project with $190 for a regular (well ok, KS edition) console to begin with.

To the Ouya team: You have my contact information, if you are planning to ever honor my win and shipping me anything - contact me by email first and do not send me anything without my acknowledgement!!! I'm leaving for a vacation soon and there will be nobody to receive the package if you send it now. At this point it seems that I'm anyway forced to wait until March.

I'm open to reasonable suggestions, I have to admit that first I was really excited about getting the dev unit because what it symbolizes to the project (even though I have no real use for it), but since then the appeal to me has long gone and I'd probably abide to even get the regular unit with extra controllers.

All in all I have to say that I'm truly disappointed how this has not worked out. And I was the only one in our group of console playing friends in our 30's that wanted to believe to this project and people behind it.

I figured it will be a great way to really get the OUYA community involved in generating unique useful content for fans of the console.

Do we have to fill in the IRS form? On the form it says "do not use if you are a foreigner claiming income from a US business"... isn't that what we are doing?

Besides that, I'm not sure if me and my brother qualify as a partnership or not. Should I rather do individual and give him his split of the funds from that? Can we just say we are a partnership because we are agreed upon it?

Thanks!

EDIT: do I have to apply for an IRS number (SSN, ITIN or EIN) in order to fill the form? This kinda delays our ability to upload :(

We're a unity3d team, and our project hasn't been optimised yet for droid, however in its basic heavily over loaded form (we have far too many drawcalls in the current build) we've seen a surprising difference in performance between our shiny 2 month old ouya, and our 13 month old Asus transformer prime tablet.

The tablet is handling the overload slightly (yep only slightly) better than the ouya, it's only a little bit but it is definately a noticeable difference.

To me this doesn't make much sense as I thought the ouya was clocked faster than the tablet.

Has anyone else benchmarked the ouya against standard tablets ?

I wasn't sure if they were real or not, but Eddie K, who runs OUYA Forum, got in contact with Uhrman and she told him that they are quite real. They are prototypes, however, so the final version may differ.

It's funny, even until now I've seen a lot of people doubting OUYA, saying the metal model wouldn't come and OUYA would just release plastic ones. But I guess not!

What does everyone think? Do they live up to your expectations?

Even with just a bare bones project, I can only add 3-4 2048x2048 textures before it crashes. The same project loads and runs fine on my Asus Transformer which is also Tegra-3.

Right now the OUYA scene online is rough. It's hard for gamers to find games, and it's even harder for a developer to get their game noticed. So my team got together and started developing a platform to showcase the best, weirdest, and most innovative games OUYA has to offer.

I'm the lead editor of our website, OUYA Gaming Source. Every week, we take the best content from the site and form it into a new episode of our video series, OUYA Radar. We're starting to get into the swing of things, and put out our second episode today.

I've got a general question regarding the Ouya that I hope the community will be able to answer for me.

Essentially, here at Spearhead Interactive we develop online 3D visualisations for B2B sectors, distributed via web or mobile devices. Everything from component visualisation as a sales / R&D / Training tool, through to full architectural models for regeneration planning/BIM etc...

For some of our more security-conscious clients, I'd like to propose that we could provide a stand-alone, secure solution for them to view the end-product in-house, and this is where I hope Ouya could come in.

What I would like to be able to do is install the final APK file onto our own branded front end loader on a specific client by client basis. No connection to Ouya Marketplaces or any other Ouya Service, merely connect a Ouya box to our PC, load in a custom Spearhead Interactive front end and install the APK files as required. The Ouya console would then be handed over to the client to use as required in a 100% offline capacity.

Is this something which would be possible, or does this contravene the terms of use for the console? I'd be more than happy to have an Ouya screen present whilst loading the custom front-end if this is necessary.

Thanks all. Looking forward to your responses - appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Regards,

Dan Riley, 

Director, Spearhead Interactive.

Has anybody completed it?

Can anyone shed any light on the matter?
