Looking at the new prototype, I miss the old system button icon. The new one looks a little obvious imo with putting a U inside an O. I also think it's better that it is a symbol of it's own, distinctly separate from letters on the face buttons (O, …

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a maturity rating system. I'm saying there should also be a kids' zone. It's just an extra tool for parents. Not every parent is going to have time to go through each game or age rating with …
@SpoonThumb
A kid's zone would establish a much greater fence like what you have described. This kind of maturity/age difference is exactly why I think a kid's zone is problematic, because it lumps kids more generally. Age ratings provide ideas th…

I love the Ouya, but I have to express my criticism on the controller. It sucks. I'm not even talking about the form factor. I'm talking about the design factor. The idea that the controller exists as it is only because they w…

@Arruku obviously it would be great to give parents an option to both restrict games to the "kids zone" or do their own, more fine grained controls
However, if you're a non-gamer parent, you probably want some help…
As a PS3 user, I have used 1080i many times (although the TV could do 720p instead).
I don't really see it as a problem myself. I have 3 HDTVs of different manufacturers, sizes and ages in my house, all do 720p and 1080i minimum. I was always under…
I like the sound of CD/DVD support, but it would be iffy. Android itself has no drivers by itself for optical drives, so if OUYA were to support them, they would need to totally write their own. There is only one that works with Android which is mad…
I think this is a bad idea personally, because what is considered appropriate for children can be very subjective. Making the decision process on behalf of the parent may be easier, but its not the best way for the parent to engage with their kids o…
I really want to work on this and I am looking for a programmer to help build a prototype. I'll be doing art, UI and backgrounds, while my bro will be doing pixel art and animation :3.
Unity or something else would be ideal since neither me or my br…
What if a pause button was added in the consumer version of the controller and dev units have to hold/press? Kinda lame for devs, but just having the button itself is the most ideal and accessible solution to players, and since it's not in productio…
Personally I feel that they should consider changing the controller's design in a way that allows the thumb sticks to be interchangeable and therefore allowing for another layer of customizability. I also feel that while the battery slot design is q…
Although I haven't got a dev kit myself - I can't see how adding texturised sections to the body being much of a benefit. All first party controllers for game consoles have no textured elements - they all use the same type of plastic on the body for…
Windows? ACK. NEVER. I am Linux Mint w/ MATE desktop (at this point in time).
Hah. Me neither (using Mac OS X until Apple runs it into the ground). In which case, you probably don't have to get an Xbox 360 controller. I plan on using my DualShock 3 …
The following is the correct controller to get?

Yep, just make sure you pi…
Yo, I'm an illustration student who's into concept art, game development and UI design. Will hopefully be working with a bunch of students from another university on a game project, and I am looking into how to create a prototype for my own RPG conc…
I'm with the notion to avoid ads too. Ads aren't good things or even nice to look at, and I think there are better ways to fund apps and games. People will buy a game/app/add-on/subscription if they think it's worthwhile :).
Note that the EULA of the font clearly states:
Application and Game Embedding: Users may embed the licensed fonts into a computer application or game only with the written permission of FontSite Inc.
And there is also a $15 pro version of the font.

Haha... thanks Arruku. I downloaded earlier and was confused about where the SVGs were and why the PNG was so low res... downloaded. And a HUGE thanks for doing this. I love me some vector graphics. :)
np :D. Another thing, if you want the same font…
I posted this on Deviant Art, but I'll post it here as well.
"Thanks for the work! I'm sure many of us developers will benefit from community efforts such as this. How would I go about getting the SVG files? Deviant art is fairly unfamiliar to me…
I've just finished making my own icons for all the buttons, sticks and the touchpad. I've provided the original SVGs as well as different sizes of PNGs, so you can tweak them how you like :).
I've released them under Creative Commons Attribution 3…
How about:
home button press = pause
home button hold = OUYA menu
Great idea, I think this is the second most ideal solution to adding a pause button as it gives everyone a button to use to pause universally, keeping the intuitiveness of pausing, re…
