OUYA is the new video game console, announced in July 2012, based on the Android operating system.
Its main challenge is to be an alternative for independent developers and small businesses that do not have direct access to the major consoles in the market.
Its economy model is based on the freemium scheme, where all the games and content published on the console should have one free component and another that you can monetize.
Welcome to Getting Started with OUYA , a book that will guide you through the wonderful world of this console: its hardware, its configuration, how to build your first project for the console, and how to make money with it.
In the first three chapters, you will learn the general features of the console: origins, business model, technical prerequisites, and preparation of the development environment. In the next four chapters, the book explains the code base used to build video games for OUYA using the Unity3D engine Version 4.x. The last chapter shows the technologies that are being developed for the near future and that directly or indirectly impact the development and advancement of the console: Leap Motion, VR Oculus Rifts, and Arduino, among others.
The aim of this book is to let the reader know all the requirements and the basic tools to start your game development projects for the OUYA console.
