New Light Behaviour

Along with software differences in how light from an asset appears, Game Maker has new Light behaviour that affects the way assets appear depending on color, intensity, and other settings.

Light behaviour can be used to make the emissive colours of an asset seem to shine their light onto other nearby objects to make a scene feel more natural.

Example:

The image on the right shows how light in an Experience changes the apparent color of the asset.
