In the end, Unity became the obvious choice.
#TINYKEEP IOS MAC#
A number of people have e-mailed us asking for Linux support, and while that is possible with Flash Player via the web browser, we wanted a engine that could handle fullscreen 3D on Linux just like on Mac and PC. In light of these issues, I decided to do some research and evaluate other possible technologies to migrate to. I've been a keen supporter of Adobe Flash and its related technologies for many years now, and I really want to continue using it, however Adobe's actions give me no confidence that they want it to succeed in the industry as a gaming platform. What if in a couple of years we find out that Adobe decides to drop support for the Mac? Say TinyKeep succeeds in the marketplace and we decide to port to mobile, only to find that Adobe's tools are no longer updated to work on the latest versions of iOS and Android? As much as I hate to join the "we hate Flash" bandwagon, the most important thing is to prioritize the future of TinyKeep. While this does not affect TinyKeep at the moment, the perceived future of Flash does not look great. Adobe also announced the cancellation of Flash Player Next, which was to be a new generation of the Flash virtual machine. Since June 2011, Adobe announced that they will no longer support desktop Linux distributions for AIR. In our opinion, this is currently the best commercial 3D solution around for Flash, allowing us to create the kind of high quality immersive graphics that we never before thought possible. In particular, we utilized Flare3D, an amazing 3D engine built on top of Adobe's Stage3D "Molehill" technology.
From this point forward, TinyKeep will be built using the Unity engine.įrom the initial 2D version all the way up to the recent Kickstarter prototype, TinyKeep has always used Adobe Flash/AIR as its platform of choice.
Today, I'd like to announce a big change in our development plans for the game.
For those of you who have have been following the forums, you may have noticed a couple of teaser videos from me in the past few days (if you haven't joined yet, go do it now! The forums are the best place to get all the latest updates on TinyKeep).
