The Cheese Story

Hello one and all, my friends and I will soon be developing a side-scrolling platformer entitled "The Cheese Story." Intended to be more of a casual experience sprinkled with humor and wacky randomness, it is mainly a test for us, before we spend time devoted to the more serious ideas we have.
So, I'm curious before we get too far into it, is there an audience for something like this? And, if there is any help that could be offered, we'd be very grateful. I currently have a proficient knowledge of JavaScript, yet I haven't seen much talk about it on these forums, leading me to wonder if it's suitable for development on the OUYA.
Thanks in advance for any info you give, and I promise that we'll show some more of the game once we have something worth showing!

    We're working on a platformer as well. You can use java script with Unity, which exports to several platforms including the OUYA. There's plenty of tutorials, search for walker brothers unity tutorials. They have a lot of good stuff.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the help! After looking into it, I think we will be using Unity. I wish you the best of luck!

    I'd strongly recommend using C# in Unity. The jump from JavaScript to C# is not difficult and it will save you some trouble down the road when using the Unity plugin for Ouya (if I remember correctly, all the scripts are C#). It's kind of a hassle to get C# and JavaScript scripts to talk to each other. It's possible, but it's a hassle. Then again, I've only ever tried to get C# to talk to JavaScript and not vice versa... maybe that's simpler?
