omg thanks for sharing! just what i was looking for 🙏🙏

What a fantastic devlog! The time/value ratio is off the charts. You really set the standard here. I know doing this well is deceptively time consuming. Thank you for the inspiration!

Not just helpful; brilliantly innovative! Many thanks for the expert guidance. Is there any chance we could use this approach with Unity?

Cool devlog!!

Amazing!

Oh I see, it's exact tile system from RPG Maker.

0:24 - only 13 actually. 1 center, 4 sides, 4 outer corners, 4 inner corners.

Holy shit, I just recently asked if there would be a lesson on this topic, and it's already here, thanks! :]

Very neat! Thanks again for sharing this trick. I think i would overcomplicated it. ^^

I fw your videos and I don't even make games at all

Вы потрясающая! я не умею рисовать и пробовал работать в blendere для создания тайлов. К сожалению в сети нет подробных руководств о том как реализовывать это в blender. Но я начал использовать тайлы которые имеют альфа прозрачность на краях, если их располагать на сетке так чтобы они перекрывали друг друга это убирает шов будто они одно целое, и для них уже неважна комбинация вообще никакая. Хотел спросить если у вас что нибудь об этом, как можно это улучшить?

Looks great. I totally don't understand how that minimal code gives stripes though. Something to do with the vec4(vertex, 0.0, 1.0).xy? Would changing this vector change the angle of the stripes?

That is so cool! You broke it all down so gracefully too.

My first thought was that if you had two masks, you might be able to create some interesting effects! And then the video immediately showed a version of the shader with two masks haha

Love this tutorial, but there's like... a pixel-wide line of the color mask peeking through... EDIT: Was the mipmaps. For anyone else with this problem, go to the CanvasItem->Texture->Filter->Nearest Mipmap Anisotropic.

Love your videos Jess! You should stream while you code 😊

Wow i didnt even know this was an option, im 100% going through the effort of learning shaders once i have a game in late development

Subbed because close up cat meme

Excellent! This is very useful!

amazing video!

This is some awesome stuff

Very neat, the grass looks amazing, I love the color palette!

Thanks for the content, continue doing it pls we need more and moreee hehe

thanks for this!

ur game looks absolutely charming!

Woah. Such a small change can hugely increase visual interest. Excellent idea and explanation!

Hell yeah we love shaders. Amazing how much breaking away from square flat tiles livens things up!

woah this is quite smart i might do something similar for my game! always a pleasure to see ur videos keep it up!

What a simple elegant solution and great looking tiles as a result! Great job!

Once again, I think this might be one of the best game dev tutorials out there. It's straight to the point, easy to follow, and includes examples. Seeing this I also now think this is probably how the Oxygen Not Included devs did their tiles.

I want to get into game development but this is all so daunting. I feel like if only I had taken more interest as a kid I would be able to do this now. You made this video very easy to understand yet I don't think I would have ever figured this out on my own. The pixel art in your game looks beautiful by the way. How do you recommend I start this sort of stuff ? Theres so much to learn I dont even know where to begin

Thank you for sharing! :D

You are incredible! I've spent this past week trying to figure out how to do exactly this and you explained it perfectly! Especially handling multiple tile types on a single layer, thank you so much for this video

This game is so beautiful

what a fantastic execution

Such a simple thing that makes it look so much better! Keep up with the good work, I can't wait for the release :)

Ah very nice, I followed your last tutorial and it sped up the drawing process a lot, but then I ran into the problem of textures looking repetitive like you said. Thanks for making these!

I just wanted to boost the algorithm 😊

This is really neat, I made a tilemap shader myself a couple of years ago. I recall it was kind of a pain to get the shader to apply across all the tiles instead of to each individual tile.

WOW!!! Question: What if I would like to use the color 255,0,255 how do you tell the shader that color? I'm all new ;)

This game is so beautiful

Do you know how to make an online multiplayer code? I haven’t seemed to come across anything for godot that makes this work with people who create their own characters. I want to do something similar to Castle Crashers or Shredders Revenge to have either couch co-op or online multiplayer or both (split screen and online multiplayer)

Neat little tutorial. Your last one forced me to completely rethink how I draw tiled environments - I've used wang/bitwise/marching tiles in basically every project I made in the last 10 years, and never came across your tiling method before. So much more dynamic, and flexible - and easier to create programmatically. I'm working today on my scripting engine for procgenning 3D environments using that method almost exclusively :) Also love your lil animations, they're so cute

Really cool video ✨

I was one of those people, thanks again for helping me figure this out back then :) I've also ended up putting the shader on individual tiles via the TileSet tab rather than on the level of the TileMapLayer node as a whole. for some reason the floor(COLOR.r) line does not work out for me though. even though I made super sure to save the mask as fully red (or green in my case), Godot still floors the value to 0. which is why I am using step(0.99, COLOR.g) instead. and that still wasn't enough, as for some reason COLOR.g was fully set for some transparent pixels, even though I made sure the transparent pixels are 0,0,0,0 (using Aseprite, saving as PNG). so I needed to do an extra multiplication with alpha: step(0.99, COLOR.g) * COLOR.a I suspect both of those issues are down to artifacts of PNG compression or something.

broo ur brain really brained on this one. gg.

Love it! Thanks for sharing

Wonder what made you change your tilestyle, you had such gorgeous one for the water shader video

I really like the idea and also the style of the video! It feels like a friend is telling you about this game jam they joined!

This is a great demonstration, a familiarity with masks is so valuable
