Phoenix USC and Ouya/Android

[Vidiot_X]

Hi,

 

I am a firm believer that projects like Ouya ( http://www.ouya.tv/ or Kickstarter )  are a big part of the future for console gaming. With the blowup over XBox One, projects like Ouya are so welcome from a developer standpoint. I have already started to port Phoenix USC to Monkey ( Coding Language  http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/ ) which supports the  Android OS and will have an option to work on Ouya which is Android based. Supporting Android was always in mind when writing Phoenix USC and I can't wait to see it running on that OS.

 

On a side note, indie developer support for XBOX ONE is gone. MS says they may at sometime have a independent developer program but I would not count on it. The only pressure on MS to change has been Sony which still supports indie development and has said indie developers will be welcome on the PS4. I will be also be porting Phoenix USC to PS4 and Vita down the road a bit.

So glad you are still motivated!

  Yup I code every day on Phoenix and it is a huge project for one guy. Part of the reason it's taken this long in development is writing code that is portable to almost any platform. Basically I can not use any OS specific code which means writing everything from the game engine to the GUI and net code from scratch.

 

Behind the scene we are getting close
