Hello everyone! I was snooping around on the internet for different game softwares and came across a open source game console called the ouya. The ouya is open source for both hardware and software, it runs on a slightly modified android 4.0 os and so far shows a ton of support with over 2.5 million dollars of fund raising to get it started. The way the market works is you have a free game developed with in game purchases or upgrades and I think advertisements (thats how you make the money).

I have already seen that there are around 300 games for it, including some bigger games that come from bio shock, fallout series, various popular sports games, flat-out, sonic, L.A. Noire, etc. I was thinking that since this game console is so flexible (even comes with a software warranty), that tgc might be interested in figuring out a way to integrate this console into agk. Since it is done in android I figured it would be easy to port over to this device. Here is a wiki link to the device:

I do know that the console comes with 1GB Ram, HDMI (1080p), wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, quad core ARM cortex-A9 CPU, 8GB of internal flash memory, and NIVIDIA tegra 3 graphics chip in it. I think that covers the specs. Post on what you think about this device!

lol, I guess I should be on the forums more often, but the thing is could you port agk to this device? If so would tgc be interested integrating this device with agk? I realize it is android so could you even just build a .apk and launch it on the ouya? Thanks in advance
