Edge Display Scaler has received another minor update, bringing the latest version up to 1.2.2. This version is all about updating a new feature added in 1.2.0, which embarrassingly was actually incomplete when it first arrived. That feature is edgeds_view_fit, a sort of 'training wheels' script to give new Edge DS users a simple aspect ratio scaling solution without having to entirely rework old projects for 1:1 scaling. The new version of the script still functions the same way, however it will now scale ...

Edge Display Scaler Minor Update (v1.2.2)

Sometimes it feels like there's always more that can be done with display scaling. Just when Edge Display Scaler got its first major update to 1.2.0, 1.2.1 is already a thing and out in the wild! The new update adds just one new feature: edgeds_set_screenres, an alternative script to the default edgeds_set_scale that gives the developer a bit more control over the display while still utilizing the 1:1 scaling Edge DS is designed for. To be more specific, edgeds_set_scale runs with each CPU cycle to check ...

Edge Display Scaler Gets Another Minor Update (v1.2.1)

While it may not be the oldest Edge Engine module, Edge Display Scaler was the first to be published—in fact, it predates the name 'Edge Engine'! And ever since that first critical release it has been far and away the most popular Edge Engine module, a cornerstone around which other modules are built. And now it has reached its third major milestone: Edge Display Scaler 1.2.0! This new release is a pretty hefty overhaul, so updaters be warned: things will look a bit different, and you will have to edit ...

Edge Display Scaler Major Update 1.2 Released!

For those of who you’ve been following this site over the past few months, one recurring element that you probably have noticed popping up every so often is this thing called ‘Edge Engine‘. And what is Edge Engine? The answer to that question has been bit ambiguous until now, but with this new release in the project that will hopefully begin to change. Edge Visual Novel Engine, or Edge VN, is a suite of pre-made scripts—code—in the Game Maker Language (GML), giving beginner and advanced users of ...

Edge Visual Novel Engine Now Released!

Right from the start I said 2015 would be a big year for ThinkBoxly, and here’s another piece of evidence to prove it. I’ve already mentioned Simple Display Scaler, the first actual product to bear the ThinkBoxly name, but that was last year. This year Simple Display Scaler has been updated and integrated into a larger project: Edge Engine, the ‘version 1.0′ if you will of Yugen::Engine, a previously featured ThinkBoxly Project. If all that makes your head spin a little bit, well, don’t worry ...

Edge Engine Splash — Now Available from ThinkBoxly

Steampunk is one of those wonderfully odd genres that we just don’t see enough of. For those who aren’t aware, it basically takes modern-age technology and sticks it in an old-age context, operating in the form of steam powered machinery. The genre works especially nicely for games because, well, who doesn’t want to swing around a weapon like an Axegun? And with Edge of Twilight – Athyr Above, developer FuzzyEyes brings the genre to iOS and embarks upon a new series set to release on both mobile ...
