That's right, Bloodshadow Games has started a new fund raising project for "Urisis the Darkthrone" to be ported on to the Ouya Android game/media console. It will be held using the Kickstarter crowd fund raising site.
Kickstarter projects are held solely to accumulate enough funds for a certain project, the project's outcome might become itself a reward. So for every reward purchased you get a piece of the project or the final outcome. The campaign will end 32 days as of May the 17th of 2013. The project, if sucessful will be completed on June 2014. I'm trying to accumulate a $300 dollar minimum, for the Ouya console itself can be purchased for $100, that comes along with game developer material. The rest of the funds will be used to create a fan base, based on the campaigns rewards. Game Maker is now able to port to Android, and the Ouya runs on the Android Jellybean operating sytem. So yes, to port is about a matter of time. Here are the rewards,
