Gotcha Gotcha Games has released Action Game Maker version 1.1 on PC via Steam. The update adds a new visual script UI overhaul, and more.
The patch notes for Version 1.1 of Action Game Maker are as follows:
Major Updates
-
- Visual Script UI Overhaul
- Previously, scripts flowed only from left to right, but now you can freely connect nodes in all directions (up/down/left/right).
- You can now create multiple links between the same states.
- Link connection points can now be freely moved.
- Godot Engine Upgrade (4.3.2 → 4.4.1)
- You can now access new Godot 4.4.1 features, including running the game inside the editor and UID-based scene references.
- The “Generate Object” and similar actions now use UIDs instead of string paths to refer to scenes.
- This ensures links remain valid even if the scene files are moved in the file system.
- We have released a new tutorial, “Getting Started with ACTION GAME MAKER from Zero”.
- This tutorial is designed to help even those with no prior game development knowledge create an action shooting game.
- We have also updated the “Tutorial” button in the launcher to redirect to this new tutorial.
- The previous tutorial project is now redistributed as a sample project.
- Visual Script UI Overhaul
Lastly, Action Game Maker is available now on PC via Steam. Further, Final Weapon reviewed Action Game Maker, giving the game a 3/5. We noted that the game “promises no-code simplicity on top of Godot’s powerful foundation—but struggles to deliver on that promise. Its lack of documentation, steep learning curve, and rough edges make it a poor fit for the very beginners it targets. Experienced developers likely won’t need it, and newcomers may find themselves quickly overwhelmed.”
