sometimes, perhaps more often than most people think, the answer really is Just Write The Code Dude
strongly advise against doing this uncritically because you will absolutely accrue technical debt in areas you didn't even know existed if you're not careful. "if it works well" is a load-bearing qualifier
I'm glad someone put this together. SIXTEEN studios at risk with the Nacon insolvency.
it's just obstinacy at this point. they got annoyed with people asking and decided to never do it
albert pyun understands the medium like no other director

regarding the recent news
yeah it's basically a kinect in a little cube with an android-based OS, aimed at kids/families, I guess probably doesn't cost much to manufacture and they have people paying a subscription to get games for it
