Doesn't matter to me because I'll play it on PC but I just want to say that I think the method of tracking Double Fine Adventure's development has been a misstep. Because only backers get to see what's going on with the game it's basically out of sight, out of mind for the public. And I'd be willing to wager that 80% of the people who backed the game haven't looked at a single thing on the game since it was successfully funded. I mean we're all going to get the game when it releases anyway but...I think Double Fine could be building up more hype for the game by actually allowing info, screens, art out into the wild.

I'm sure they won't. Double Fine cares about the good will of their fan base. I highly doubt they'll shit on their backers just to support some no-name Android box.

Can people take back their kick start? Seems like Doublefine lied to their backers.
I personally believe Gamelofts games would fantastic for Ouya. Order & Chaos Online, Real Football, Asphalt 7, Dungeon Hunter, N. O. V. A, Gangsta and Modern Combat 4 would be killer on it. Also Shadowrun Deadzone would be awesome (and its free).
So basically you have a Halo, Diablo, COD, WoW, FIFA, Gears of War, Need for Speed and GTA clones for the system at a cheap price. I kid you not all those games i listed are actually pretty good.
I don't feel lied to. I'm still getting the PC version from my ínvestment, whats the issue?

It's on Double Fine has never released a game on a Nintendo platform. Seems like they'd fit well...

People freaking out, please remember that Double Fine Adventure is being developed for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android as per their Kickstarter promise.
Ouya is just the first of the many Android boxes that will come. It may use its own store, but it's just going to be running Android with Tegra 3, which is certainly one of the platforms Double Fine will target.
This announcement means absolutely nothing. The game will be available on your phone at the same time it "comes out" for the Ouya.

"Double Fine Adventure heading to Ouya (other consoles in consideration)"
or
"Double Fine Adventure initially coming out for PC/Ouya only"
If that fits. Not sure.

Yes, and backers who want it on console did not expect to not be the first to get the game unless they buy a new console. Double Fine's kick start has always been vague so they can do things like this.

"Already-in-progress Android version to also be released on Ouya" would probably be most fitting.
Consoles were never stated as a clear goal for the Kickstarter, though. Some people want it for the Vita, too, but you don't get to make those demands just because you backed them on Kickstarter.
You won't have to buy a new console for this game if you already have a PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device. The only reason it's coming to Ouya is because an Android version is already being made. The Ouya is simply an Android box for your TV. You could just as well hook your phone up to your TV, probably.

I didn't even know this thing called Ouya existed before this thread...

Wasn't the point of the Kickstarter that Double Fine couldn't make the game without people giving them money?
Clearly Ouya has no problem investing in it.

If only they could have been more transparent about their vagueness.

i don't want it to be a decent point and click adventure that later morphs into a bad FPS or something. sorry.
I thought it was fun until it eventually became a huge mess

I think once they went past their asking amount they said something about maybe using the extra money for more ports? But thats about it. If it launched on Ouya first that would be something to be upset about, as I just remember the ks mentioning a no DRM PC version first.

I feel a little bad saying it, but I'm honestly a bit over Double Fine.
I loved them after Psychonauts and I even really liked Brutal Legend (issues and all), but since then I haven't really loved anything they've done.
-Costume Quest was a fun idea and cute, but pretty monotonous.
-Stacking was another fun idea, but marred with bad performance and headache-inducing aesthetics (strong vignetting+strong depth of field+choppy, stop-motion animation)
-I wanted to love Iron Brigade (love mech games, and I love action/tower defense hybrids like Orcs Must Die!), but as a single player game I pretty much hated it. It relied too heavily on having the perfect combo of weapons AND traps which is hard to do because of the constricting light/medium/heavy mech loadout options.
-And as a smaller point, the lack of 60 FPS on their PC versions is disappointing, regardless of it being an engine legacy issue or whatever.
I appreciate their work ethic on smaller, lower budget games. I also still love how they're one of the only developers with an emphasis on humor in their games, even though it's pretty hit-and-miss. I even re-bought a couple of the games when they came to Steam mostly as a kind of loyalty to them. I'll still look forward to what they announce, but their games aren't instant buys for me anymore.

Ouya is an Android based system.
I still dont understand, wouldnt it be better to just connect your smartphone to your tv through hdmi (or with the upcoming xperia Z with miracast). And just connect (any) bluetooth controller.
Besides i get a real console if i want to play on the big screen. Not many phone games are suited for a tv.

Ouya got too much of that kickstarter dough, I'm okay with this redistribution.
I'd rather they focus on PC as the lead platform than on Android, and the OP suggests that such a thing is possible. (Hell, the money involved suggests that this is possible.)

Isn't the ouya just an android box with a TV friendly UI? If they already said they were doing android why wouldn't it work on ouya?

Nice work with that title, OP. Nice fucking work.
XBLA you need a publisher to get the game up.. Kickstarter projects are anti publisher. Thus it wont get there.
They are 100% focusing on the PC as a lead platform. Hell the iOS versions will probably get more support than the Android ones. This is just news that the Android version is going to support Ouya. Nothing more. This project has always been focused on making a PC/Mac game. It's hard to be clear on the internet, but the worry you have has never been an issue.
