🎉 ACTION GAME MAKER 1.3.0 Major Update Patch Notes
To celebrate the 1st Anniversary of ACTION GAME MAKER, we're excited to release Version 1.3, a major update featuring 2.5D game creation support and Custom Action Plugins!
✨ New Features
🎮 Create 2.5D Games with New 3D Background Support
We've added long-requested support for 3D backgrounds, making it easy to create 2.5D-style games where gameplay remains 2D while backgrounds are rendered in 3D.
New additions:
BackgroundLayer3D node
BackgroundCamera3D node
New sample project: 3D Background Sample
Please note that you'll need to prepare your own 3D models.

You can now create your own Actions and Conditions using GDScript.
These plugins can be added to a project simply by placing them in the project folder, making them easy to distribute and install—similar to plugins in the RPG Maker series.
