Pixelize Transition System

About

Smooth pixelization transition system for GameMaker. Ready to use in your projects - just drop the object and call the functions.

Features

Room transitions

• Pixelization → room change → unpixelization - smooth transition with frozen image
• Configurable hold time at maximum pixelization
• Callback support - execute any code at the moment of transition

Live effect (without room change)

• One-time pixelization - press SPACE, image pixelizes and stays
• Unpixelization on demand - ESC restores sharpness
• Smooth control by holding - up/left arrows pixelize while held, down/right arrows unpixelize
• Effect works in real-time - camera and objects keep moving in the background, everything is pixelated in real-time
• Thanks to left-right and up-down arrows you can set your own preferred pixelization level

Demo controls

• LMB - transition to Room2
• RMB - transition to Room1
• WASD - camera movement
• SPACE - pixelization with hold
• ESC - unpixelization
• ↑ / ← (hold) - pixelize smoothly
• ↓ / → (hold) - unpixelize smoothly
