Why AIR?
I already knew stage3D and ActionScript, I wanted to make a good game properly and quickly. So I made it in AIR to be able to get to ANDROID devices as well as PC/MAC. It was a really good decision. Developing for such a wide range of devices has been hard to make it look good and perform well in low short powered devices. With so many different screen sizes. I had to optimize every single bit and learn very interesting techniques to make it run smooth everywhere. With a new language (for me) I wouldn't have been able to reach such level of optimization so quickly.


History of the game:
Game was developed as a proof of concept that was supposed to be an improvement of my previous Valkyr (click to play) remake game (from 2011), Flash 9.

January 2012 I tried improving the game using Flash 10: Beekyr prototype Version 0.1 (click to play) . I couldn't get anything very complex working due the lack of GPU acceleration. So I left the game in a playable state, but too simple. I had to discard the idea of making complex flash games.

A year later: (January 2013), I started working with Stage3D heavily for a couple of months to get a demo that looked and responded right in Flash. That was exactly what I had in mind... It looked and performed so well that I decided to make a full commercial game for smartphones. I got in touch with a couple of friends and I ended up leading a team making the awesome game I always wanted: Beekyr , playable in most Android phones.

Finished after 8 months of hard work. first of October 2013 , Game gets very positive feedack from users and media.
I decided to create a trademark: KaleidoGames. Will that become a real company?

Get it and let me know what do you think.
