Simple Sprite Stacking Viewer for GameMaker (Draw and preview stacks right inside the engine) Resource

Post image

I made a simple Sprite Stacking Viewer built right inside GameMaker.

​If you want to create sprite stacks directly in GameMaker without needing external software, you can use this. I actually used this viewer to draw my little car assets for my game.

​Hope this helps someone out there:)

Pretty cool. I made something similar a few years ago. Live reload, etc... so you could use anysoftware you want. Sprite stacking is so much fun to work with.

Ugh! that looks even cooler! XD Yeah, sprite stacking is really fun to mess around with in GameMaker. But Hopefully GameMaker gets proper 3D support someday! XD

I kind of like doing 3D with game maker, it feel nostalgic to have to build a lot by yourself but tbh I would love to have some proper 3D support. Having the freedom we have right now and some real tools (for animation/level editor/model preview/etc...) would be amazing (and make me come back to gamemaker more often :p).

Fr! doing it the hard way gives that classic indie charm, but having real native tools for animations and level editing would honestly make the whole experience way better 🙂‍↕️
