But heres a fun little challenge i stumbled upon while i was on the internet:

Do you think you could make at least 1 game per month? There's no rules, No strict guidlines... you could use anything from a scratch project to a half completed game you never touched... it's more of a personal challenge then an actual competition...

check here > http://onegameamonth.com/ for more info... 

So if you're in game dev... or starting out... it's something to try... maybe push or motivate you to try something

So german Ouya-Fans can help to fund it: In the first step we do not even money, but 50 "likes"

Yes. I am involved in this project and will NOT send contious Spam on this topic :)

I'd like to start referring to the company as "Boxer8"... but, I don't really know what Boxer8 is, or if it even still exists. It would might be confusing to the users, since the OUYA company itself, and most others, usually talk about "Boxer8".

So, can we get an official response about what Boxer8 is, and how you'd prefer we refer to the company?

Note that OUYA is still arm, so this is only useful for local testing. I wouldn't release an app using this.

Adobe AIR + Stage 3D - Crashes OUYA

Adobe AIR w/o Stage 3D - Goes Slow even in GPU mode.

Java + Canvas = Goes really slow (100 circles < 30fps)

Java + Open GL ES = Rotating triangle going slower than 60fps

I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my OUYA. Perhaps there is just some key piece of information I am just missing.

How is everyone else achieving such performance?

i had to pay:

96 us$ to dhl (those thieves!!!)

127 us$ of taxes

and

55 us$ for 12 days of storage.

so... what do you think?

i paid 99 us$ for the ouya.

and 270 us$ to get it from customs (and dhl).

Unfortunately through logistical issues we haven't got our devkit :( and so this is a desperate cry for help. 

We hope some of you in The Netherlands might want to lend us your devkit for a couple of days so we can get our game on OUYA at launch as many of you probably want to. Ofcourse we are more then willing to compensate you for this matter ;)

Maybe some of you are not going to put your game on there on launch or use it at all (fat chance, but hey) so if you want to sell yours to us, please contact me!

Hope to hear from you guys!

Edit: Seems my tracking number got lost? and they are looking into it :D

I was wondering if the OUYA-team plans for a Wiki that might even be user curated or at least where useful information from the discussion board could be stored in a structured form.

Thanks!

This feature are introduce into gamestick, i would like see also this feature on ouya :D 

Is anyone else seeing this?

If I press the blue U button on the gamepad, my app freezes.

Pressing U again will unfreeze the app.

Also: I noticed that autorepeat on DPAD is intermittent: 

sometimes holding DPAD will autorepeat the key, most of the times it will not.

thx,

However, on the OUYA the Application Tiles are rectangles, and as a result they are stretch and look distorted.

Now obviously I could create a tile that when stretch horizontally look correct, however then the same icon couldn't be used on Android devices.

Will OUYA be conforming and rendering tiles as square so that they look correct, or will I have to create a separate set of icons for OUYA?

I'm aware that the UI is still very much in development so I'm assuming this will be resolved, but any information on the matter would be much appreciated.

To celebrate the release of the OUYA Developer Console, we are hosting a 10-day online game jam we're calling CREATE. What is a game jam, you ask? It's a focused get-together where teams make playable games insanely quickly. Your mind will be blown at what a game team can do in 10 days.

This fits with what the normal idea of what a game jam is. Lots of free-flowing creation, openness of ideas, etc.

But then they say other things that seem to run completely counter to that:

They could have easily said "from the 14th-23rd you can start working on your game", but instead, they just said that's when they'll start accepting submissions. It... seems odd. But it makes sense if they're expecting people to submit games they've already been working on for a long time.

Afterwards, they directly say that they don't plan to take the whole "10-day game jam" thing seriously at all and you can just start working whenever. This was 7 days before the contest officially started.

So, at the very least, it's fine to take 17 days to work on your entry if you're a dev that carefully read through the "GOTCHAS" section instead of just assuming "10 day game jam" means "10 day game jam". (that's not a smart remark from me, the url is http://killscreendaily.com/create/#gotchas) I feel like that's tremendously unfair to any developer that tries to actually follow the spirit of the competition and create a game in 10 days.

I know that you guys have said that you're going to more clearly explain the rules once the competition starts. But I don't really think that's the best path to take. Not when it's something so basic as "do we have to make a new game, or can we use something we've been working on for months or years?" Not when it's a contest with a massive cash prize on the line.

You need to tell people what the contest is before it starts, not after. People have been asking on twitter with no response so far. Can we get some clarity, here?

specifically - 

Does the OUYA team know yet what data will be available?

How it will be accessed (API)?

Thanks in advance!

The Android browser minus the swiping makes for pretty hard scrolling... =/
