I have so many questions. It’s to figure out, what games user would love to play on the OUYA.
I know e.g. that multiplayer party games are a thing.
Which kind of games do you like most? Is graphic - visual fidelity, or special visual style - important for you? Have games to be fun or could they also “generate” other emotions like fear, sadness. What about mature themes like nudity, drugs, gore. Do they belong to the story? e.g. what about a graphic novel with sexy girls, but the gameplay is “Bejeweled”. Would it be fine, to see “real” persons like in FMV in games, or would it be to disturbing? Are you interested in gay love stories? Or more in games like Beat Saber. Would somebody play a Point’n’Click game with controller support on the OUYA? Are puzzles a thing?
I think people are wanting games they haven’t seen before. I really liked it takes two because as short as it was, I hadn’t played anything like it. I know if rather play a terrible unique indie game than a mediocre first person shooter
Can? Probably. Can do it well? Almost a guarantee it would be really slow. You need a powerful machine to handle those at a decent framerate and the OUYA is not that lol
Emuluation via CEMU or Dolphin would not be possible. There for you would need a nVidia Shield TV, but if we would have a Re-compiler, the OUYA could run Wii / GameCube / PS2 like games. The OUYA is very good in emulating N64. And it could do graphics like Wii / GameCube / PS2, if they are created for its processor and graphics chip in mind.
Particularly, I prefer games from other platforms ported to Ouya (for Android itself), I like to revive some classics with a makeover! As well as some great casual and obscure games, which you can only discover by sifting through Chinese app stores or the play store. Games like:
The Conduit HD (wii)
Bully (multiplatform)
Brothers a Tale of Two Sons (multiplatform)
Jet Set Radio (dreamcast)
Soul Calibur (dreamcast)
GTA: SA, VC and III (ps2)
Max Payne (ps2)
DuckTales Remastered (ps3, x360)
Castle of Illusion (ps3, x360)
This War Is Mine (ps4, xone)
Stranger Warth (xbox)
Cartezzilar Bob
Impossibru
Ninja Cats
… All these mentioned and others I played a lot in my Ouya sideload!
@joao the games you listed, do they all work on the OUYA? I also would like to see some more ports.
I am also asking to consider some development investment into new games. And which genre these games could be and would be played.
If you got “Ducktales Remastered” and “Castle of Illusion” running by sideloading, could you tell, how it would work with or without the Chinese app stores?
Hi @xaby! Yes! All the games I listed work on Ouya, I’m thinking of making a “definitive TOP with over 80 perfect games to play on Ouya in sideload”. Regarding DuckTales Remastered I posted a video in the replies of my topic “Top 15 sideload games” how to run it on Ouya, if you have the apk and obb of the game you just have the app “Apk Editor pro”! Castle Of Illusion just go to any Chinese store in your browser even if you prefer, (I suggest “muzhiwan market”) download game it on your PC and move it to your USB stick or HDD and install it normally on Ouya! (So far the only app stores that have Castle of illusion adapted for physical controls are only Chinese and Nvidia Games for Shield)!
I just want new games. The fact that Ouya started on the dream of being an indie developers dream, I’d love to see the system have that. I’d just love to see more support for the console these days. I can wish, eh?
My team and I planing to release some more games this year. We have something like a wishlist from the users and try to build these games one buy one. While developing smaller games for the OUYA we are also building our tools to be able to realize also bigger ones. I am in contact with other artists, animators and programmers, but most of them at the moment to the work in there freetime. It would be great, if the interest in new games would be as big that it could be sustainable for indie developers. To make that possible I developed some ideas. Non-OUYA-exclusives. Short-Term-Projects like a few month, so supporters would not have to wait long and artists don’t have to commit to long and get financialy dried out.
My final goal would be:
no gambling
No payed loot boxes. No microtransactions. No paid DLC. No hidden fees. No pay2win. No ads. No user data monetization. No shareholders. No other publisher. No 3rd party interests.
at least minimum wage (15,- $), but more what artists and developers deserve (70k to 120k $ a year)
Equal pay, save workplace (no discrimination on the workplace, no harassment)
DRM free, some online multiplayer games would need to have a server connection to work
And now consider a 5 member team for at least one game. What would it cost and take to release maybe 5 of these games in the next year full time.
One copy of such a game would need to cost about ~ 30,- $ and we would need at least to have ~ 2000 customers who all buy all 5 games.
To keep that idea one year alive with minimum wage. All work would from home, no studio for big recordings (audio, motion tracking) or something. And part of the games % would be re-used and some assets would be from already made art not specific created for these games to keep the costs down.
I guess, to pull something like that off, we would need to attract about 100 000 people and hope, that more than 3000 people stick around and would buy into that idea.
