    GameMaker Fake 3D Depth Sorting Riddle

    Since fake 3D is harsh on fps I've made so every world chunk generates one huge surface with all of the objects inside it, instead of drawing every object separately.

    I've been using a fake 3d marketplace asset in Game Maker Studio 1.4. However, it's a pain to add the asset into GMS2 and change a ton of code to make it work. Does anyone know of a (top down) fake 3d marketplace asset for GMS2? I've searched and searched and came up empty. Thanks!
