Figgy eliminates the constant cycle of recompiling and searching through assets to adjust gameplay values. After defining your stats and parameters in Setup, Figgy automatically builds a Debug Overlay interface that lets you live-edit values while the game is running, access them in code, and save changes directly within your project's datafiles.
Whether you're a solo developer or part of a team, working on a big project or a weekend-long game jam, Figgy streamlines balancing and tuning, keeping iteration fast and effortless. It also gives your non-programmer team members full design control without touching a single line of code.
⚙️ Automatic Live Interface. Figgy creates debug views for your configs automatically, freeing you from dreaded UI coding of any kind and allowing for live editing.
🗂️ Flexible Data Structure. Organize your configs using a robust struct-based tree-like JSON layout with Scope Widgets, including Windows, Sections, and Groups.
🎛️ Wide Data Type Coverage. Built on GameMaker's cross-platform Debug Overlay, Figgy provides many Value Widgets for all commonly used data types: Integers, Floats, Reals, Booleans, Strings, Colors, and Anys.
💾 Persistent Project Storage. Keep your configs inside your GitHub repo with Figgy's automatic (and optionally obfuscated) datafiles saving & loading support that tracks variables differing from default values (or the whole config, if specified).
🧠 Centralized Configuration. Keep all gameplay values in one place and read them from the config struct - no more scattered Create-event variables or magic numbers.
👨🎨 Code-Free Design. Allow your designers to tweak and balance the game live through the Interface, without ever having to touch code.
