The first Ouya dev consoles are set to ship later this month and 10 lucky indie developers have been chosen to receive free Ouya dev kits through a Twitter promotion. Over the past 10 days, Ouya picked a different hopeful Ouya developer each day, the list of which is presented below along with links to more information about each's respective game:
- Day 1: Fist of Awesome (Nicoll Hunt)
- Day 2: MechKnight Chronicles (Dinosaur Entertainment)
- Day 3: Syder Arcade (Studio Evil)
- Day 4: KidElectro (Seantron)
- Day 5: Space Runner (Hypercane Studios)
- Day 6: Legend of Dungeon (RobotLovesKitty)
- Day 7: iMech Online (Mobula Games)
- Day 8: DustyRevenge (PD Design Studio)
- Day 9: HolyShield! (Dogbox Studio)
- Day 10: Starbound (Chucklefish)
This doesn't mean each of these games is a lock for Ouya, we should note. These 10 individuals aren't getting final retail Ouya boxes - those don't ship until March 2013 - but rather free special limited-edition developer versions of Ouya, valued at $800 a pop. And while these initial shipments vary slightly from the retail Ouya units coming next year, we're compelled to note all Ouya consoles will allow for software development.
