ACTION GAME MAKER confirm plans for Linux support for the editor and game exports
ACTION GAME MAKER is the brand new release from Gotcha Gotcha Games, who are known for the RPG Maker series and it’s good news for Linux fans.
This new game creation toolkit was built on top of Godot and previously they talked about looking into Linux support. In the new Producer Letter about the release, they’ve confirmed some future plans for it which includes full Linux support now.
Update Plans
Currently, we are in development of the following changes for future updates.
- Update to Godot 4.4
- This will update the base version of Godot used in ACTION GAME MAKER.
- Editor Support for Linux
We received many requests for official Linux, so we’re happy to finally make that a reality!
- New Export Platform: Linux
- New Export Platform: Android
- With these changes, we will be able to support even more platforms for our users.
- Create Actions and Conditions using GDScript
- By allowing users to create their own Actions and Conditions, the Visual Script system will become highly customizable and more flexible.
- “Light” Object Type for Bullets
In order to allow for higher Object counts for developers that need them, we will be implementing a special simplified Bullet Object type based on Godot’s Area2D or Node2D, which will greatly improve performance.
Great to see. The more tools we have for game developers the better the overall platform health will be. Especially since this is quite an accessible game engine, using a special node-based approach built on top of Godot. It’s based on the visual scripting they made for Pixel Game Maker MV but with many improvements. They say “No knowledge of programming is needed” as you simply connect up Actions to see it all come together.
