I know there have been several threads on ouya support, but I haven't found anything very concrete. Can we officially bank on ouya support from agk, or should my team go ahead and do the project in Java? If ouya support is definitely in the cards, when can we look for it? Any concrete information/commitment would be much appreciated.

your best bet is to use T2 and just include the ouya sdk which give you controller + store support.

That's exactly my point - our dev kit is supposed to arrive within a couple weeks, and I would really like to be able to start going on our project ASAP

at the end of the day android is android... what I mean is if you want to write for android then write for android... the support will come for OUYA if it becomes popular and if not you can put your app out to other android platforms...

I started programing back in the 8 bit home computer days.. and I'm a little rusty, but I can tell you that programing is programing... programing languages are just a matter Syntax and Rules... if worse comes to worse you can port your code... if you can get your code to work in one language it will work in others...

I've ben following OUYA and hope it gos big, but we will see...

its like JXD's android gameing tablet's... I happen to like the JXD S7100 myself

Happy new year!

I think Lee covered it back in August 2012 when he said.....

Quote: "I signed myself up for an OUYA (but not the launch party) and am eager to see this one unfold! The basic device is Android, and AppGameKit will probably work on it out of the box. I'll be getting mine before it hits the stores (hopefully), so I'll be able to make sure any last minute signing requirements and special bits of code are in there so you can enjoy creation and playing your AppGameKit apps on a Console! No expensive third party developer license fees, no 'permission required', no 'secret short list', you will be able to code your own console game and share with your friends! How cool would that be
"


This is the link to the original thread..

Hopefully Lee will be receiving his OUYA soon and AppGameKit T1 can be ready for the launch.

Ouya requires the use of its own SDK (or ODK as they call it), which probably gives access to things like controller input and other Ouya specific features. I'm sure integrating the required things from the SDK won't be too time consuming for Lee or Paul.

I love the look of this console! I have played Moon Snaker using an android tablet with HDMI output and loved it, so having tried it already, I can see the appeal of seeing your game running on ouya!

@crypto joe - yes, but my team dropped nearly 1000 on a dev kit, so we aren't quite so eager to just go with the flow.

To run your app on ouya is not a problem, however using their controller, their store (all games on ouya must follow a free to play model), etc. requires use of their "ODK." Since there are things like shop commands, input commands, etc, in app game kit, I wanted a yes or no answer as to whether or not ouya support would be fully integrated, or if we should go ahead and go full tier 2.

I'm experimenting right now with our dev kit to see how much extra leg work is involved using agk, and will put up my results here later.

i would go for T2 as it seems that your case is not of an indie hobbyist, but a commercial game, so you can't afford to depend on anyone.

we still don't have gamecenter commands after 1 year of AppGameKit, so I suppose Ouya support will take some time.
