GameMaker Is it possible to have layers with different resolutions?

Hi, I'm relatively new to GMS 2 and quickly getting the hang of GML, and I would like to know if there is any way to have a layer that's more pixelated than another. For example, an 8-bit style game with an hd HUD. If this isn't directly possible, could there be any work around to do something similar? Thanks in advance!

I'd look into surfaces.

You can draw to a surface and draw it back at any size. In your case you'd scale the surface up to get the pixelated look.

The GUI layer can have a different resolution than the rest of the game.
Look into the documentation and read about display functions like display_set_gui_size().
