i made a local multiplayer game with otter2d called bounty for an arcade event in sacramento, california!
information and pictures are mainly on the game's page. it's a really quick shoot 'em up style game that's meant to be played in really short bursts. whenever a match lasted more than 3 minutes, things got really tense.
 
it's hard to explain it without showing someone gameplay, so if you do eventually play it, feel free to give me some feedback or something!

i'm making a weird colorful farming game and it's a thing i guess. having a little trouble with replanting, but other than that it's coming along kinda well. you can click on these little plots of land and these squares appear and they grow into a tall rectangle over time. you're probably going to be able to get seeds by doing quests or going into dungeons or something, where you can then sell them to afford your trip to another country.
 
WOW I HOPE I FINISH A GAME THIS TIME.

there seems to be p active unity coders here and i'm curious what i'm doing wrong with this collision code thing
 
the wall thing pictured here has a mesh collider on it and i made it in sketchup (im really dumb with blender which is another thing i must accomplish)
 
any help would be great! this is the thing thats causing my learning of unity to stunt.

the ouya looks like it has a lot of functionally with unity and stuff like that so i was curious what people thought about it, because my opinions are kinda mixed by the fact that we might have a ton of shitty games on there but then again it makes for a player-based console.

i was just wondering if there was any chances of this happening, because it would be pretty sweet. i know a lot of you are programmers, and maybe you would find this interesting. just a neat thought that i thought i would share with you.
