"OUYA Game Development by Example" quickly establishes basic game development principles and then shifts into OUYA-specific development using the Unity3D engine.

Wrapping up, the book will cover techniques to polish and perfect a title for publishing it in the OUYA marketplace. You will learn what you need to add to your games to prepare them for the OUYA marketplace, as well as tips for independent developers on how to market what you create.
