E3 2016 Roundup - The Calm After the Storm

June 14, 2016 /
It has now been three years since the E3 that rocked the gaming space into a rollercoaster ride that has continued throughout the years since.

You asked, and while it was a while in the making, Edge Engine is delivering! Edge Filesystem, or Edge FS for short, is a comprehensive save/load system that from the beginning has featured whole-file encryption to prevent users from tampering with saved values.
