The tool you've all been waiting for has arrived.

Re-size your projects to iPhone, iPad, 720p HD, Mac App Store and GS.com

The tool will scale your actors and position them into the correct place.

An intelligent Re-Sizing option is included to scale actors that are the same width & height so a circle will remain a true circle with this enabled.

As a bonus we have included "Enable Experimental Resolve" which attempts to scale some calculations and rules but you may or may not (see vid below) have to manually change a few things...it's impossible to say how many because each project will be different and we will point out this is a bonus feature.

Please see the below videos to see it in action.





Email: toyboxuk[AT]hotmail.com if you would like a free trial version.

Free trial version will re-size to GS.com but will give you a good idea of what it can do.

Darren & Wayne.

    Next friday is payday, consider a copy sold my friend. This should be an incredible help for development, kudos to you and your team Darren!

    Great news guys! I will definitely buy it!
    Just one little question:
    Could you please tell what kind of rules and behaviors (such as: if attribute game.xxx is 1, then change size X to 100, etc.) your app doesn't change? It will help me with looking for unchanged rules (my game is huge).

    Thanks!

    Hi utopiagames,

    "The tool will scale your actors and position them into the correct place."

    I spend a lot of time tweaking an actors precise locations and even with my gfx files carefully prepared and sized it takes a lot of time to do because there is no snapping grid in GS.

    My question might be impossible to answer without trying the process first but could you give me an idea about how your program would handle my placement of images?
    For my very simple apps, the alignment is crucial and one pixel off will ruing the effect completely.

    Did you test this and can you comment on how I could downsize an iPad project to 960x640 for iphone4 with your programme?

    thanks :)

    Just two questions :

    1) The graphics wrap on the actor have to be stretch? Or it work with Fixed and tile too?

    2) Can i choose to convert an iPad project to iPhone 3Gs or iPhone 4? (i mean the resolution)
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    1) yes stretch only

    2) You can convert iPad to iPhone but can't choose 3g or iPhone 4..in the video the art for running wild was retina on iphone and as you can see it does a great job converting to iPad.

    1) Ok, so, 1st i need to make all my actors to stretch?

    2) If i want to convert an iPad game to iPhone, what about the actors ratio (i mean the proportions)...
    That will convert it to 320x480?
    The game will fit all the screen?

    Thanks for the answers Darren
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    1) yes

    2) yes if you take your iPad portrait and select iPhone portrait you will get 320x480.

    Darren.

    Taht will not fitt all the screen then.. i'll have a blank?
  • jonmulcahyjonmulcahy Member, Sous Chef Posts: 10,408
    All iPhone games are 480x320. If you tick off enable resolution independence gs will in the background scale everything up by 2, and use updated original graphics.

    When ri is ticked ink when you drag a file into gs, it makes a duplicate copy at 1/2 the size to use on older devices, and uses the full version on iphone4.

    So i think what you would do, is convert your project to iPhone open it up in GS and enable resolution independence, and then redraw all lmages into the project so it creates the non ri versions.

    Darren, does that sound lIke it should work?

    Just purchased it, great work Darren!! :)
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    OMG- Just tested Dark Woods from the iPad to the iPhone and it's NEAR perfect in translation!! AMAZING work Darren and Wayne!!, this would have taken AGES to do manually!!

    Basically, just have to tweak the score size, and some of the movement (speed) in the Witch, but since it's a prototype actor, should be very easy! Saved me a TON of work!

  • sebmacflysebmacfly Member Posts: 1,018

    @MisterT :

    Just bought it , but no link :(

    Check Ur email Darren I can't wait!!! :)
  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394
    @T, mine didnt link me either, there was a link on the payment page that said take me back to his email address, i clicked that and the downloaded began :)

    Just tried converting my new game to ipad and it would of saved me a lot of time, problem was i use a lot of 'change attribute positions, i tried the experimental option to try and get the numbers within rules and it has done a great job! I love this tool and the merger soo much, WOW, huge props guys and literally, every member can get use out of this! Its a shame out of 48,571 active members using GS, only the potential 2000 odd that use the forum will see the opportunity of this.

    Just brought it and love it
  • DreamLabDreamLab Member Posts: 2,127
    Do you still have to change some of the sizes like Darren did in his running wild video? or was that the position?
    DL
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    It does all positions and actor sizes and some variables it wont change your text size for eg but does exactly what it says it does and takes out a lot of work meaning you can quickly release on all devices.
