Ouya's release


Suddenly the Ouya is in the world's press. Events are unfolding very similar to the iPhone release and developers want to get in to the Ouya development while it's still fresh and new.

While it runs Android, it's a complete visual change. Special consideration needs to be taken to implement the controller support and in-app purchase. All games on the Ouya need to offer a demo version or be free. The games are monetized by creating unlockable content that can be enabled via an in-app purchase.

The Ouya already has a some good games, but there is plenty of space for new ideas to make their mark. Some of the current games are exclusive to the platform, some of them are ports from large publishers, such as Square Enix, but all of them receive equal footing on the Ouya, yours will too.

It's all new territory again and anything can be a success!
