ACTION GAME MAKER 1.3.0 Major Update Patch Notes
To celebrate ACTION GAME MAKER’s 1st anniversary, we are releasing major version 1.3.0, which includes 2.5D game creation features and custom action plugin functionality!
New Features
Added 3D Background Feature for Creating 2.5D Games
We have implemented the highly requested 3D Background Feature.
By keeping the gameplay screen in 2D while rendering only the background in 3D, you can easily create 2.5D games.
Added items:
-
New node BackgroundLayer3D
-
New node BackgroundCamera3D
-
Sample project “3D Background Sample”
※ You will need to provide your own 3D models to use this feature.
For more details:
Added Custom Action Plugin Feature
You can now create custom execution actions and conditions using GDScript.
Created plugins can be used simply by placing them in the project folder, making them easy to install and distribute, similar to plugins for the RPG Maker series.
For more details:
Added 6 Official Custom Action Plugins
Custom Actions
-
Auto-rotation based on movement direction
-
Sine curve movement
-
Push physical nodes (RigidBody)
Custom Conditions
-
Transition based on light “brightness”
-
Transition when a variable’s value is within a certain range

These can be added by selecting the “CustomActionPlugin” template when creating new objects.
New Sample Project “Shader & HDR Sample”
This sample demonstrates how far you can enhance default assets using Godot’s Shader features and HDR features.
It allows you to learn modern 2D expression techniques.
