Am I able to make a "2 layer overhead 2D game" with GameMaker?

Hi there community!

I used Construct for a few years and wanted to switch it up to GameMaker, I do have little no 0 knowledge about coding but I do have a 2D top-down game planned.

I wonder if it's possible to have like a (example).

I have a walkway on the ground, and on the side there is a ladder so the player climbs up and now there is like a bridge over the walkway.

The player can of course walk under the bridge if he/she does not choose to climb the ladder.

This is supposed to be on the same view layout (And not "2 different screens")

Would this be hard to create in GameMaker?

With my kindest regards

Very much possible.
Bt default object will not interact with each other. You have to add that behavior yourself.

So if you want your player to interact with the ladder only when a key is pressed, for instance, you can put the interaction code inside a condition that the key is pressed. (A state machine may be better solution for this).

If you haven't yet coded in GM, I would suggest you make a small game to get to grips with it first.
