  • The touchpad is useless because it stops sending movement when mouse hits screenborder. When mouse is on left edge, swiping left produces no events. That saturday night rpg game uses the pad to support a scratch motion. But that is only possibl…
  • I wonder: does the money get sent as US dollars and your bank converts, Or does OUYA convert it to local currency before sending? (Like Apple does)
  • Can someone at OUYA explain First Purchases?My game only has one IAP, still Purchases does not match First Purchases.It can't be test IAPs: I have not run any testing lately.
  • MightyRabbit said: Sales on SMRPG have dipped pretty low as well (1 sale a day for the most part). We did just launch a new game on iOS, though, and it's tearing up the charts (hit #2 overall in US!) so I'm feeling pretty good regardless. :)W…
  • Wow... impressive. Lotsa sales. It looks like a 10% conversion rate or so? Well done. My conversion rate is much lower than that.
  • Well, it is probably a smart move by OUYA if they want to build up a large database with gamers that have credit card on file. Customers that can quickly, on a whim, spend money in an app. You as a developer should be able to appreciate this. At the…
  • Ok, tried it. Good start so far, but issues, in order of importance: 1) The app should really pre load the tweets and images in advance, so that when you press NEXT, it is already there. 2) I crashed the app. Log at http://pastebin.com/6miW81WK 3) W…
  • @exist yes indeed. Ask them for a replacement controller. This one is broken.
  • pietaster said: I paid for these games on one Ouya, but I had to get a new Ouya. When I checked the new Ouya 3 games were not unlocked. I have the receipts to prove I purchased the games. So when can I get it unlocked so I could start playing…
  • Describing it as a simple yes/no check is shortsighted: it is DRM. What if 5 yrs from now, OUYA, for whatever reason, shuts down IAP server? Customers will not be able to play. As a dev I deliberately chose to cache purchase state. I think all OU…
  • Good idea.Sounds like fun!Especially if it will be faster than screenshotsaturday.comThat website is always slow for me if I try to enlarge a thumbnail.
  • MightyRabbit said: Yes - our downloads went from 200 on the 24th to 1,000 on the 25th. We also got 4 purchases on the 25th as well which is up from 1 on the 24th. Same here: DLs jumped from 225 to 1051.No sales jump yet. I think purchas…
  • As a matter of principle, I never use third party services. Third party SDKs come binary only, and you have NO garantee that the SDK is not stealing private info of your customers. That is why I use gamecenter on iOS, but have no leader boards o…
  • I dont get the appeal of google play access AT ALL. Why do you want it? Nearly all google play games lack gamepad support. They expect touch and touch only. This makes moyo pointless.
  • @SatelliteBiker: The control should be smooth enough if you have the latest version of game, and a fixed ouya controller. Until recently, the controllers were faulty. Use JoystickTest.apk from another thread to test if your controllers are OK. Porti…
  • The Little Crane That Could is a staff pick now, and so far has totalled:56 purchases from 3678 downloads.This is a 1.5% conversion rate, by far the lowest on any platform.The same game does typically 5% or so on stores like Amazon, Google Play and …
  • Are you serious? You think 8hrs is long?Apple will take a week to review.Give OUYA at least a few days I would say.Do you want them to do a thorough test, or not?

  • I agree with spoonthumb, please post a screenshot of JoystickTest.apk running. How easy is it to hit the spots that are only slightly to left of center?
  • skytiger said: This is a great game But on the OUYA with the new fixed controller there is a huge deadzone and then the axis value jumps from 0 to about 0.5 So the game is only playable if I make microscopic pressure adjustments on the thumbs…
  • rubix said: Here's a more realistic look. I plan on making another one showing the triggers later. Nice work Rubix!One that shows both trigger and shoulder button would be even more awesome.  Bram
  • TVs that hide scanlines ought to die out anyway.If enough games boycot overscan, maybe the public will wake up and stop buying TVs that do this overscan crap.

  • I had an OUYA that refused to upgrade firmware.The fix was to 'clear cache' of the 'launcher' app.You do this in system settings.
  • WIRED really likes the OUYA, and mentions 'The Little Crane That Could' as the favourite game.I'm so proud for this glowing review. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/ouya-impressions/
  • Thank you @piers, the clear cache did the trick.
  • @piers The system triggers an exception when it checks for an update.I will open a case at support, but in the mean time, here are the interesting parts of the log: D/OuyaResponseCache(  512): Found file for: http://ouya-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/upd…
  • @piers No, this is what I see with Manage/System/ConsoleInfo Also, a reboot did not work.It says no updates available.   Bram
  • I guess this is not live yet?My OUYA reports 1.0.158_r1 (1.0.2) but when checking for updates, it says there are no updates.
  • OUYA sent me a fixed controller. Thank you OUYA.The potentiometers seem to be the same type, so I think it has been a firmware fix. SN: NS131902864 Additionally, the jitter I was seeing in my game is gone as well.No more noise from the gamepad signa…
