How to Make Pixel Art Isometric Tilesets

[@dailydoodle42]

Great video! For anyone who wonders these two examples are called dimetric. Then you also have trimetric in which all of the angles are different

[@SadTown99]

Thanks for uploading this dude, I never would have attempted this otherwise.. Love the building block examples you showed, appreciate ya as always 👏

[@limeyrolls]

awesome video dude. I just bought asesprite today and am testing out diffferent tilemap variations and this helps a ton with understanding how they work. You got a new sub :)

[@johnonyango3166]

Great video. I was following a long in Aseprite and it came out pretty well 😊

[@Skeffles]

Brilliant video! I love seeing what people can make in isometric worlds.

Dude, this is crazy! Like my brain was actually scratching itself. Do you think this would work in RPG Maker?

[@apoxfox]

It’s definitely possible in RPG Maker, but I also have a feeling it would be pretty difficult to pull off. You’ll probably need to create your own isometric system in code to support it unfortunately

[@SadTown99]

Isometric is a very strange thing with RPG Maker & the general consensus is to just avoid it because of how the grid works Regardless of MV, MZ etc… There is a plug-in for isometric projects but last I checked it wasn’t fully functional… However, you might be able to get away with just making whatever map art you want first & then add the game logic + collision detection around it all 🤷‍♂️

Super cool video, thank you mate! Is the game you are making already available ?

[@apoxfox]

@@karmakunh552 thanks man! Not yet available but I’ll have some updates soon in videos to come :) I’m hoping to have a demo ready next year

That’s so nice, I love Adam’s videos!

Hey, I found your channel because I want to make my first game in this style, and which canvas size should I use for isometric art, or what size are you using for isometric? I don’t know whether to use 16x16 or 256x256. I’m very new to pixel art and isometric art; I just started this month with pixel art in this style. I’ve made some pixel art before, but it was for a Minecraft texture pack, and the things I made weren’t very big or complicated. And for the game i wont some texture to be more detailed.

[@apoxfox]

These isometric block tiles I made are 32x32. Start with one block and build everything else around that. Hope this helps

[@LetsFranciOfficial]

@@apoxfox Thanks you, it helps me a lot

My main worry about making a 2D isometric game is creating all the artwork, then finding out the grid is set at a slightly different angle and I have to redraw everything. Or do I set the grid to my artwork? How do I know what height/width, ange etc to draw at?! Thank you!

[@apoxfox]

You can set the grid to your artwork :) I always recommend making a simple test tileset to see if it works in the game engine, just make plain old tiles with no details to see if everything matches up and then you can use that as a template later!

[@beepie7673]

@@apoxfox Thank you so much!

is it aseprite?

[@daisukeyamamoto3705]

OR Make it in Asprite and then test it in Tiled, No engine required

is it aseprite?
