Blitzmax vs GameMaker Studio

[Steve Elliott]

About that 2D lighting - are the any 2D shadow casting functions built in (in Game Maker or other engines) ?

Heh, assuming this is 2019 and 3d-shadows are in games for years that wasn't too fast

2D was always an after thought in Unity.

2D was always an after thought in Unity.

Have you even looked Unity since about version 3 or 4 (when your statement was probably at its closest to 'correct'?

Yes I know they've eventually started concentrating on it more, but how many years has it been out?  Obviously wasn't a priority then was it?

How about GameMaker - is there 2D shadow casting built in?

You can do it yourself with some interesting tricks but it's not something that happens automatically on a toggle switch.
