Super State Engine for Game Maker

Kick start your 2D game projects in Game Maker!

Super State Engine is a framework built in Game Maker. It's filled with handy tools to help you quickly create 2D games in GM. It's been initially built for platformers but can help you build any kind of 2D games. Basic knowledge of the Game Maker Language is recommended.

Among its many features:

• Tile based collisions system including slopes (16x16px or 32x32px grids) 
• State machine
• Camera system and easy division of rooms in sub screens
• Transition effect between screens
• Warp points (aka doors system)
• Checkpoint system
• Dialog system
• Easy sprite sheet animation manager
• Basic delta time implementation
• Coyote time
• Game Pausing system
• Write actions in sequence easily, robust enough for cutscene creation
• Easy to use input system for single player

Oh man! It's filled with so many cool stuff!

Super State Engine is fully commented and documented and I've created a series of youtube videos (coming soon) to get you started with your first projects. While a basic understanding of GML is recommended, the engine should be easy enough to get beginners started.

What can I do with Super State Engine?

Super State Engine has many features specifically to help you create your own 2D platform games but it is not limited to this genre. The State Object can be used to create complex behaviors that will kickstart the creation process of any type of 2D games. Top-down adventures, story-based game, animation heavy games, there are tools to make your life easier in many ways!

It is not meant to be a solution for everything but to be a base from which to build on. Take what you need and combine it with your own code or assets and codes from other content creators (the Game Maker community is a fantastic one!) to build awesome games!

This is a work in progress and new features might be added over time. By buying the engine you will have access to any new features in the future. Join our discord server to discuss the features, ask questions or get updated on our work:
