How Much Are Ouya Games Making?

[mancity]

Anybody got any of this information or know if it's even available?

Im not looking for specific figures, just rough estimates.

Plenty of articles around from early June stating some numbers. Monster RPG guy posts numbers in his section.
Don't know about updated numbers from those who spoke up before.

My games made 0 since 6th July (I had one sale a day before that, then it's like someone pulled the plug ). Towerfall made 21k in a month.

Magnesus, great example of why the current discover section is crap. I can honestly say I haven't even seen your games on the list to even check them out.

I know popular games need to be on the front but finding other games needs a serious overhaul.

Cheers.

I too, hadn't seen your games and I search through (I thought rigorously) every day so as to not miss anything.

No self advertisment but I think it is good for developers:

I check it my self every day, also the latest game to be sure to like new games and give it a try. OUYA store really needs to work on exposure new games/apps too

But b2t:
forums.ouya.tv/discussion/1196/sales-downloads

Devs post their sales and downloads regurlarly there.

I can appreciate the balance that they have to play with not filling up my discover screen with useless titles, but there definitely need to be some changes to what can be seen here.

I wish Categories were the top line, then a "What's Hot" section for the most played games, and a "What's New" section for all the stuff to recently reach a threshold of 200 downloads or something. Along with the search option and the sandbox list that's all we need.

Anyone see the email? They will be rotating games in discover from now on... might give Sandbox devs a bit more airtime. As well as this, they will be showing games on the startup screen:

Hey OUYA Devs! Your friends here wanted to make sure we gave you a heads up about two changes you’ll notice on DISCOVER this week.


Firstly - Games on the start-up screen. We’re continuing to try and find new ways to get your games in front of one another and OUYA gamers, so we decided to use some of that real estate on the first screen everyone sees when they start up their consoles to bring to the front a wide variety of titles that will be switched up daily. We especially hope this addresses the issue some of you have expressed that in between starting on Sandbox, and ending up on one of the Playlists or Feature channels, that gamers are having a harder time finding your awesome games.


Secondly - We’re moving Genres up to being the third channel under DISCOVER. We’ll be switching around some of the other channels as well that currently reside “below the fold,” but this is the one change we think you’ll notice the most, and, we hope, will help get more players into more of your games.


As always, let us know what you think, and what trends you notice changing in your own games! We really do take in everything you’re telling us. While we’re always working behind-the-scenes to make the large changes that can incorporate everything, we also want to continuously iterate and make the changes we can - as fast as we can - to test out all of your ideas.... kinda like game making itself, ya know?


Until Next Time,

Kellee, BAWB, Hunter, and Jared

Yeah, hopefully that helps devs get their stuff out there
