Recently I have downloaded latest patches to eclipse and android SDK and now I'm really confused in the matter of developing my application... If I want to create a game on phones, tablets etc should I still choose the newest target like android 4.4W or should I choose Android 4.4L or maybe the earlier stable release like 4.4 kitkat?
If you are developing a Game for Tablets and Phones, then don't think about 4.4L or 4.4W as they are for different zones of devices as per the release information rightly said by Marco Aciemo
Better you work with API 19 i.e., KitKat version 4.4.2 as it is purely for Tablets and Devices
UPDATE:
Just look at the official docs -
http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
This explains with diagrams as of what to target.
