We just wanted to give full credits to Tomsamson down at Flashkit for his funny 1st April hoax!
He was the mind behind it!
Anyway we hope that dream feature-list will become reality, one day

It seems like Flex is not the only great news from Macromedia during these days!
Some great features for the next Flash version seem to be in progress down at MM!
Check this screenshot in the FlashKit board, it looks like all our 3D dreams will come true!

I’ve found two interesting articles that are worth reading.
The first one is about game development complexity » Game Development: Harder Than You Think
The second one deals with gameplay tuning » Difficulty in dexterity-based platform games.
Nice reading!
