Tokyo, Japan – September 30, 2025 – Gotcha Gotcha Games, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Makoto Narita), a subsidiary of KADOKAWA Corporation, is pleased to announce the release of Version 1.1 of ACTION GAME MAKER, the latest entry in the Maker (RPG Maker) series, along with a special sale to commemorate the release.
■ Release of ACTION GAME MAKER Version 1.1
On Tuesday, September 30, 2025, we released Version 1.1 of ACTION GAME MAKER. This is a major update that includes a complete revamp of the Visual Script UI, the addition of a brand-new tutorial, and an upgrade of the base engine to Godot Engine version 4.4.1.
Key Features of Version 1.1
- Visual Script UI Overhaul
The flow-based editor has been redesigned. With 1.0, the visual script was limited to a left-to-right structure. With version 1.1, users can freely design flows in all directions—up, down, left, and right. This allows creators to be more creative and flexible in their development process. - New Tutorial Course: “Getting Started with ACTION GAME MAKER”
A brand-new tutorial course is now available, designed for complete beginners with no prior knowledge of game development. This course guides users through creating an action shooting game while teaching not only the features of ACTION GAME MAKER and Godot Engine, but also fundamental concepts such as layers and variables.
