Preface

Independent video games are larger than ever, and are finally easy to create for anyone passionate about gaming. Over the past few years, the technology to create games has been made easier and more available. There are now free, beginner-friendly engines, such as Unity3D, which novice coders can use to create functioning prototypes in a matter of hours. With the release of the OUYA console, an Android-based console created as a publishing platform exclusively for independent developers, indie games can now be published and played on any TV in the comfort of your living room, making indie games even more pervasive and profitable. This book will give you everything you need to get started with creating three-dimensional games for OUYA as fast as possible, and provide you with the knowledge you'll need to keep growing as an indie developer by the time you reach the end of the book.
