Version 1.1.0 is the first major update to ACTION GAME MAKER.
This patch introduces a revamped Visual Script UI, an upgrade to Godot 4.4.1, and the re-release of the trial version.
🔥 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.
For full details, refer to the official Godot 4.4.1 release notes.
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.
Trial Version Re-Released
A limited-time trial version is available from today until end of October.
It includes full access to all 1.1.0 features.
