Which Developers Are Planning to Upload Before March 28th for the Promotion?

[Eddie K]

I'm starting this thread to allow developers who plan to upload their games to the OUYA store for the Promotion (top 3 games will have a documentary made about the developer), to post a brief introduction of themselves and their game studio.

Let's hear from you. Are you uploading your game prior to March 28th in hopes of being picked from the documentary? If so, who are you?

Hey, my name is Jason and I run a one man unofficial indie studio called Entity Games. I recently moved to the bay area in California to be closer to the game industry. I will be submitting my game, "Liran's Lab", to the OUYA store. My game isn't that big of a deal. It's a puzzle game for iOS/Android that I'll be working to get onto OUYA with some improvements that aren't currently in the iOS/Android store versions. http://entitygames.net/index.php?v=liranslab

I work for React! Games, a small indie studio in Salt Lake City, UT. Mostly we work on advergames for relatively big clients that don't let us tell the public that we're associated with them in any way, lol. But anyway, we plan on submitting Super Dungeon Bros by the deadline to get in on this. The gameplay in our video does not reflect the changes we've made to the game at this point, but it's a fun little video anyway.

Just the chance to be a launch title is enough for me to want to get the game finished by March 28th. I don't work well without deadlines and this launch date has really helped me focus. The documentary would be a bonus/extra, but I doubt I'd I'll be top 3. I will finish by March 28th but whether the game will be to standard I feel it should be at is another matter

[Dreamzle]

I'm Joshua Meeds, lead everything at Dreamzle (doin' it all by myself!) I'm of course rushing to finish my game in time for launch, The Secret of Universe Alpha. I've worked in the gaming industry as a programmer for 13 years, most of that working on licensed games for Nintendo's handhelds (GBC, GBA, DS), some of that working on iPhone games, and even a little bit on those "game in a joysticks" (specifically, the Star Wars games by Jakks Pacific, where the joystick looks like Darth Vader or Yoda or the Millennium Falcon). I left that job to start Dreamzle.

Here's an updated screenshot of The Secret of Universe Alpha (the YouTube video is rather outdated by now):

Hello! My name is Mike, I'm a game programmer for Happy Giant Games http://www.happygiant.com/
We're definitely planning on uploading our new game to the OUYA platform.
The game is "Usagi Yojimbo: Way of the Ronin", the first video game based on the popular comic book by Stan Sakai in over 25 years!
You can check out the official website and Facebook pages here:

Below is a screen shot of the action.
Looking forward to getting Usagi kicking butt on OUYA!!!

[NJUN_STUDIOS]

Wow, what a group of amazing games to follow!

NJUN Studios here! (www.njunstudios.com) A two man team that specializes in mini-games. No graphics showcase here, just "fun and simple" -our motto at all times!
We are releasing Airstrike before the 28th. As of right now it will be just a demo release if we cant iron out the payment code. But otherwise we plan for the full version to be out on time.

[EmpireGamingLLC]

EmpireGaming, LLC here, and we plan on launching before march 28th, but none of us really expect to warrant winning the promotion. We're just regular guys and our game, while something of great pride to me and the other members of the team really isn't something that warrants a documentary. It plays like galaga with a few new elements. Granted I loved galaga and lord knows it's taken a great measure of quarters from me at the arcade, it isn't something i think a many people would be interested in watching a documentary about. I guess that's not the best way to market my product, but I'm here as a fan of OUYA and video games in general first and a developer second.

Also NJUN studios, I love where you're coming from, I can't say it's our motto, but "simple and addictive" has been my goal from the start. Graphics have been at the forefront for too long, let's use the OUYA to get back to fun and gameplay.

Right on guys. I would love to see a video of your game, or better yet- download a copy when its ready! Nothing wrong with some classic-style games. I think you are right, I see a lot of bells and whistles but sometimes that cant make up for lack of good gameplay value... If someone plays my game for more than 15 minutes, I'm thrilled. Send me a link of your stuff/site I'd love to see your work
