This asset lets you add highly flexible and interactive books to your game. Flipping from one page to another is animated and you can flip multiple pages at once. Lighting and custom textures make for a great look and extensive customization. The asset includes a guide (in the form of a script), a well-commented example, and documentation for each script making it easy to implement it into your game. Development and testing has only been done with the windows VM target and the windows YYC target, you might run into problems if you use this asset with other targets.

The asset was made for GM Studio 1, but is also compatible with newer GameMaker versions (confirmed working in IDE v2023.11.1.129 with runtime v2023.11.1.160).

Features:

  • Animated page flipping.
  • Support for flipping multiple pages at once, letting you move directly to any page in a book.
  • Customizable stiffness for each sheet.
  • Customizable sheet curving.
  • Fast shadow casting (each sheet can cast shadows on the sheets below).
  • Gradient lighting.
  • Customizable lighting colors.
  • Customizable textures (sprites, surfaces etc. can be added to any sheet).
  • Sheet thickness.
  • A guide for implementation.
  • Commented and organized code.
  • Fast and optimized, made with efficiency in mind.
  • Irrespective of room speed, dependent on delta_time.
  • All in GML and GLSL ES.
