Seriously, you are one of the handful of people who explain things in a way I find myself connecting with. While my future tiling is not for this perspective, just the use of the program itself had been made infinitely easier by watching your work and explanations.

I really appreciate your videos! KZfaq gamedev is filled with surface level tutorials that show you how to get something working in a sample scene but never go beyond that with information that would help with using it in a real game. These workflow videos on "How I use x feature in a real game" are very high quality and rare. Getting "something" working is the easy part. Making it "complete" is the hard part. That's why people say "The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time"

@JanTGTX 7 ай бұрын

Afaik, he actually builds the levels with Tiled. It's a free tilemap editor that's a bit more comfortable and powerful than Unity's. Then there's a package called SuperTiled2Unity, which can import .tmx files from Tiled directly into Unity's Tilemap Renderer System. I use the same for an isometric game. I'd say, once you're set up, it's easier to get good results than with just Unity. And not only that, it scales very well. You can even paint over the whole tilemap sprite in Aseprite again and have a totally untiled tilemap. 😅

What I'm wanting to know is the workflow of making a background for a game level or title screen illustration and converting that to tile maps.... I'm totally onboard with doing this for level design but curious about the other things that tile maps can be used for

@guilhermegonzatti7300 7 ай бұрын

Correct me if i'm wrong or misunderstood you, but since you're not interacting directly with the background, you won't have the need to turn into a tilemap (since it doesn't need coliders and stuff), but i think if you need some similar shapes in the background you can just copy paste some ramdom prototype form of the tilemap in a few layers and shift the palette to blend well with the level that you want, also keep in mind that, depending on the complexity of the tilemap, this works better with more symmetrical and artificial layouts.

I noticed despite you having a 16x16 art the initial sprite was a lot bigger than that image? Is this necessary so the tilemap will give more tiles? Why do you make your sprite with such large resolutions compared to the finished sprite.

im a bit confused on your export, since your tiles are not being restricted to the grid they are overflowing, importing this into an editor would create several tiles that dont fit into the auto-tile logic. how do you handle this part? or are you manually adding these?

@AdamCYounis 7 ай бұрын

I use Tiled for handling my auto-mapping logic. I don't recommend using Unity's built-in solution for more serious tilesets.

With how long Aseprite's 1.3 beta has been in development for, I feel disappointed in lack of Isometric tilemap support (unless I can't find it). Workflow for one that would look good is already complicated as it is.
