Riding off the success of the Ouya console, EnGeniux is trying to crowdsource the Oton, a console that autonomously creates games and may be too good to be true.
The new console by EnGeniux contains an algorithm to actually create game levels, while offering developers a chance to directly market their games to users. Their crowd-funding project, which also includes beta-testing, begins today!
Jeez! It's like everyone wants to make a game console all of a sudden.
Ouya
Steam
Amazon Fire
EnGeniux
There's probably a few more. I guess the suits finally see them as more than a kids toy. 'cough' cod cough' It sure has gotten crowded lately eh.

I have a strange feeling that the games that are "self created" would be somewhere in the vicinity of an Action 52 game cartridge, lol
Cheetahmen for the Win!
This seems kinda pointless. Couldn't they just make a game to create games and release it on current consoles or am I missing the point?
we Interview Derrick Samuels of EnGeniux, on OTON X. An automous gaming machine, that may change the look of the gaming console business forever.
"that may change the look of the gaming console business forever"
LOL. No one has ever heard or will ever hear about this thing. Just like Ouya was gonna change the world forever, right?
"Will the OTON be able to process multiple genres for a single title? For instance, a FPS and RPG hybrid?
Yes, the OTON dev unit may not have all those features but as the code progresses expect cooler game genre integrations with FPS and RPG."
I wonder if they know there are a lot of these.
BNR: Engeniux has launched an IndieGoGo campaign for the OTON, a console that, among other things, generates it’s own games. According to it’s page, “OTON X will be the first smart autonomous game console. What does this mean? OTON X will be able to self-create games instantly within minutes without human input. No drag or drop requirements. Do you want to play a new 2D or 3D action game instantly? OTON X has you covered! How about a new racing game? Or a new 3D alien shooter game? No problem, OTON X can do it! The best thing about OTON X is that all OTON X games are 100% free. Imagine a world where every single day you could play a new exclusive EnGeniux OTON X game free of charge. ”
Only suckers will pay for this.
just build a pc
I believe it doesnt have any future.
RIP
Shouldn't it be called skynet?
You don't control the game, the game controls you. lol
