Kellee Santiago has announced that submissions are open for the Ouya microconsole. The post is her first since becoming the head of developer relations at Ouya.
“Devs, as of today, any game you upload to Ouya on http://devs.ouya.tv will be available for real on OUYA when units start to ship on March 28. This means the games you have in the store after today will be in gamers’ hands when they receive their Ouya units — starting first with our Kickstarter backers, and continuing on through June when we launch to anyone and everyone who wants to get Ouya,” she wrote. “Those of you who uploaded a game during our test period — thank you for helping us work out the kinks — we are now resetting the store from those early uploads and starting over fresh!”
Not only can developers get their games up for the machine’s launch day of March 28, 2013, it is possible the software will be included in a promotional documentary. “We will take the top three games (by total gamer time spent playing during the first six weeks that Ouya is in gamers’ hands), and . . . make you famous,” wrote Santiago. “Ouya is investing in a series of short documentaries to tell developers’ stories. We want to share your process, ups and downs, everything that goes into making the thing that you love – and that game we love to play.”
“If your game is one of the top three in the first six weeks, then one of those documentaries will be about you,” she added. “We will rely heavily on these documentaries to tell people about Ouya, and we’ll share them far and wide as part of our launch marketing in June leading up to the holidays – everyone will know your name, your game, and where to play it.”
