Roku Developer Program

[n1c2m3]

Hi,
We have developed some games for Fire TV. I was exploring the Roku TV platform. 

1) Does it make sense for us to develop games for Roku. (Monetary wise)?

2) How difficult is it to get downloads?

3) Are there any AD platforms? 

Regards,

1) depends. How are you doing on FTV? maybe point to some games to get idea if easy to port 

2) easy, just like with other STB boxes, since not crowded with good games

3) video ads are well developed but you will have to bring own "ad demand" (have account with ad server)

Thanks for the reply. Replied to the points.

1) depends. How are you doing on FTV? maybe point to some games to get idea if easy to port 

We have games done in Unity in Fire tv. But i am planning to take the fairly easy ones since Unity games wont work on Roku? Am I right in saying that unity wont work on roku?

2) easy, just like with other STB boxes, since not crowded with good games
Nice to hear that.

3) video ads are well developed but you will have to bring own "ad demand" (have account with ad server)
Oops. This will be tough.

once upon a time (2011-13) some Unity games were ported to Roku but i believe both companies have abandoned efforts to support that now. You can try contacting them (fingers crossed)
