A new console? From ANDROID? Called OUYA? :O!

And the name of this game...? You can't leave me in the dark here!

Well the game is still very early in development, so it hasn't been named yet. At this point I have laid out what the game is about and how gameplay will work. So I really don't have that much to show, except for character collision detection and map generation. I can however tell you that the game utilizes and is based around procedural generation.

ooh I really like the look of this, I might have to go and preorder one :O Amazing

It is $109 with shipping and $119 for international shipping (I believe) so it is a fairly cheap system. Keep in mind, however, that it won't have the greatest specs so won't be able to run top AAA games, unless you use OnLive of course. But there are a lot of promising Indie games that are coming out for it. For me the Indie Games, OnLive support, and chance to develop for it are more than enough to justify the $109 pricetag.

@santamynana One of the interesting things about the Ouya is all games have to have some free element to them. Whether that be the game being completely free, the game offering a demo, or it using a free to play model with upgrades being purchasable (like most petsites have). So you will be able to at least try out all the games that it has to offer.
@myrianna That looks pretty cool too! And its a bit cheaper than the Ouya, and looks like they also offer the same basic specs. Still prefer the Ouya, though since it looks like it will have a bigger player base, at least for now.

I just though that it sounds like a word out of the gangnam style song for some reason. Weird right?

@indysolo621 Very interesting. You'll have to share more as you do more. I'm curious about this system now.

Will be sure to once I get some more of the gameplay features done, and replace the placeholder art I'm currently using.

In case anyone is wondering about the system itself, the dev consoles came out on December 28th so they still have a little bit to go before launch as far as finalizing the software and hardware goes. But here is a game that is already been up and running for the console, they hadn't had time to optimize the game or controls for the system yet but still is some good progress.
