Soooo... When is Graal coming out on Ouya? ;)

Hopefully soon .  

Still waiting for it, the fact they gave me a tracking number but doesn't give me any status on it is concerning. Est delivery: June 10th to 28th.

Who's shipping? I know USPS/Smart Post will have tracking numbers, but they're horrible. Most of the time when I get my package the tracking number still says "No information" or thinks the package is still in the origin state.  

Graal on Andriod> OUYA plays Andriod games> can play graal :0?  

Okay, so I have my OUYA and I used to play graal yearrrs ago when it was PC only and much larger than it is now. I played kingdoms for a bit too when it was worth a shtako, but I admittedly haven't played it in a long time. I really want to get back into it, but the only devices that are worth playing on anymore are mobile, which I don't really like playing "real" games on.

Enter the OUYA -- I was a KS backer, and I have my console and have been playing around with it quite a bit. I managed to sideload the amazon appstore on it and download Graal Online. Here are some points:

- menus cannot be controlled by controller joysticks/buttons, but are clickable using the controller's touchpad. Not such a HUGE deal breaker.
- movement works with the dpad but not the joystick, again, not a huge deal breaker (or one at all, really)

- controller buttons don't do anything. :/ You need to use the trackpad to click the various on screen controls. D-D-D-D-DEAL BREAKER! (points if you know what that is playing on. ;) )

So yea, it's really unplayable on OUYA, but honestly, being a developer myself, having worked on both game projects, android projects, and even OUYA projects, I can tell you right now that getting this game working on OUYA would be a very trivial matter. Just listen for input on the controller and handle the input accordingly. They will have to already be listenering for touch input, so adding in the ouya controller code won't be much of an issue.

DHL Global Mail, and it's coming from China.

Well this is kind of the problem we all anticipated. OUYA is trying to bring the Android market to consoles, but the Android market was never intended for consoles. Hence you're going to have a hard time finding games that actually work with the set-up.  

Wow this looks pretty sweet. Nothing can hold back an open source gaming console. I probably will get one of these soon.  

I'm not sure if Graal would have full compatibility with Ouya, since it refers to a lot of touch functions. If they're adding some-kind of mouse like in the old PSP, I'd really dislike that.

Afaik the OUYA has a touchpad on the controller for mouse actions.  

who care about graal x-x
