OTON X IN GAMES FREEZER COLOURS

Just Imagine A Video Games Console That Creates It's Own Original Games........

 

Sounds a bit sci fi doesn't it?

 

Well maybe it's not as far fetched as you might first think!


It's February 25, 2014 and Today, the EnGeniux OTON X autonomous
video games console is set to open beta signup to early adopters and developers.


The OTON X is billed by EnGeniux as the first autonomous game console that's ever been prepared for the Market....


The almost futuristic aspect of this gorgeous looking console is that the
OTON self-creates games, without any human input......


How Is That Possible We Hear You Cry!

The system creates games using an extremely clever custom algorithm with preset design parameters and a sprite database to create custom game environments.

During the beta testing, the project will offer crowdfunded OTON X (developer
units) to early adopters and developers. 


Systems will cost $99 for early bird units and $139 for standard units. 

 

Over one thousand users have signed up for  

OTON BETA Testing,
with the list growing daily.

OTON X creator and Project Manager Derrick Samuels said

“We’re excited to let gamers, developers and media interact with the OTON UI because of its unique design layout,

Who Are The Dudes Behind This Ground Breaking Piece Of Game Changing Kit?



The EnGeniux team has ten years of game and manufacturing experience......

Between 2008 and 2010, they shipped a limited quantity of their first-
run console system. 


Creator and inventor, Derrick Samuels, has worked and developed several
new trends in tech and practical products. 


His initial system in 2004 was the first to converge a biometrics, PC, game console, DVR and media device into one unit. 

That same unit was also the first system to provide the possibility of
content powered by the Akimbo Platform and digital distribution.


During the 2007 CES show he demonstrated voice recognition software to
control the game console interface. 


In 2008 his first system shipped with Linux as a working OS for a start-up game console company. 

In 2009 he introduced cloud storage to the console before other console systems
considered the format. 


In 2010 his company was the first in the market to truly see and test the potential of Android as a gaming platform for a game console. 

The 2008 units are still in use, and his company continues to provide
annual customer support to keep these units working for customers.

★The Man Behind "MICH The Game"★ @Mich_Game @Rob_Kian #GameDev #GamersUnite #RetroGaming

A while back we covered a preview of "MICH The Game" as our Game Of The Day and as part of our preview we managed to track down the guy behind the game  

Rob Kian from Eat My Face Games.


We asked him a few questions about the upcoming game and here's what he had to say.....



"Firstly, we just wanted to understand a few things about your latest project MICH

Things like, who you are and your background etc"

"I'm a guy in my 30s living in London and have been gaming before it was cool!

OK, maybe since '86.

I have always wanted to just be surrounded by games, in and out of work.
With a short-ish history in the game industry, i'm a spring chicken compared to others.

I worked for SEGA Europe for 7 years in Quality Assurance on projects ranging from Sonic Colours and Virtua Tennis to Aliens: Colonial Marines.

What has inspired you to create such a cool looking game?
"Thanks for saying so,  I was inspired by my girlfriend, she was getting a lot of text messages and I said it would be funny to make a game about the demons in her phone and then we just took it from there."
What is MICH all about, what's the story?
"This is something I haven't really put out on the internet, not even on my own site. 

I have this all written down in pieces and its not really in a stage to be concretely defined. But I can put some things together, just for you. This is a first!
MICH is a story about paranormal events that take place after an accident in Mich's workplace. 


Through mystery events, Mich's boyfriend Rob is transported to another time/space and will have to sift through the mystery events while attempting to get back home. Who's saving who?
The characters are not final, the story is not finished, the game is really in a pre-alpha state but here's some small details.

The game will feature 2 styles of gameplay:

Story areas/scenes with RPG style dialog text boxes and conversations.


Combat areas/scenes with platforming and combat.




Hey Rob Thanks for the brief Q&A - 

We Can't Wait To See The Game In Full Flow, Keep Us Posted Dude!
