Godot 4 - Tiled Dungeon Environment From Scratch

[@Speed-TV]

This guy is the software master, I almost forgot this was a Godot tutorial. Actually, it's less of a tutorial and more of entertainment.

[@coolfool3000]

lol, half way through the video i was thinking why did i click a graphic design video but then one sec later "Glad i'm learning this skill."

[@codesymphony]

so refreshing to see a youtuber who's not afraid of keyboard shortcuts

[@petrus4]

True. This feels more like a timelapse/speed draw with commentary. Not that that is a bad thing, though.

[@akirasyco1115]

Bro, I would pay just to watch a series where you make this into a game little by little, it's so calming and the results are so nostalgic and overall good!

[@epchain]

A little trick for Krita's clone tool. It has settings accessible by going to Edit brush settigs (opens Brush Editor) -> Color -> Painting mode. There you have 'Source point move' option. If you uncheck this, source point won't move. It could be useful in scenarios like splitting large brick :) Don't forget to turn it back on!

[@DevLogLogan]

Was not aware of that option, thanks very much!

[@magnusm4]

99% of tutorials are the tutorial. And 1% are these random gems once in a while adding stuff nobody even knew.

[@xanecosmo5061]

I usually model the environment normally and I've never seen a work flow like this. This looks so fun. It's like playing a game.

[@RegularTetragon]

Godot works very similarly to Roblox in my opinion, just a *lot* less constrained

[@user-rx7op7co8x]

@@RegularTetragon In what way does it work similarly to Godot?

[@RegularTetragon]

@@user-rx7op7co8x the way nodes work, the event model, and the way scripts attach to objects is very similar

[@neogmz]

26 minutes?! Wow. I really hooked into the video lol... It felt like 10 minutes to me

[@Oblico1Morale]

Amazing tutorial - I really like the end-to-end approach and that you started from scratch and ended up with something good enough to continue toying around.

[@DevLogLogan]

Thank you! I always wished there were full-stack tutorials like this when I was starting out, I'm glad they've been useful to others.

[@slundal]

This was one of the best tutorials I've seen. Super easy to follow yet packed with excellent info!

[@DevLogLogan]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful. :)

[@shaunpoore2356]

I’ve been coding for nearly 20 years professionally and consider myself quite good at it. And despite being new to Godot I get the feeling I’ll never be as good at this as you are now haha. Great stuff.

[@DevLogLogan]

You flatter me! It's easy to look like a wizard when I choose what gets to go in the video haha. Thanks for watching. :)

[@zm7160]

Blender tip: Instead of typing in the units to move the vertices, you can turn on Snapping: At the top of the 3D-view edit-mode area there is a magnet shaped icon (or use [Shift-Tab]); next to that magnet icon is a drop down you can select Snap-To Vertex instead of Increment (or user [Ctrl-Shift-Tab] to bring up the snap menu). These shortcuts are on main keys for a reason; if you are working with square/geometric models you will get a LOT of mileage out of this. Especially combined with Axis locking. The other buttons in the group are pretty helpful, like switching the Transformation Orientation between global and normal, in normal mod you change select and move a face, locking to Z axis and move the face back and forth in the direction of the face, like you would with extrude. Thanks for this video, I made a nearly identical setup to this in Godot 3.5 a couple weeks back, so it was really cool to see how someone else went about it! The other thing I did was create some basic maze generation ( a black and white bitmap) and processed it with a rule set to add the tiles to the grid map.

[@mr.mindor]

Thanks for this quick tutorial, I really enjoyed the pacing and how you indicated which keystrokes you were using while editing really helped me follow along. I'm not quite a zero experience newbie with Blender or Godot, but I am close to it with the particular topics of this video, and it honestly felt like a zero experience newbie could have followed along for most of it. (I actually learned of some keyboard shortcuts for Blender that I feel I should have known for years.) The one place in the video that I feel could have been better was the initial moments in Godot. Jumping into an already set up project with existing nodes and just saying "All I've done is make this a super simple..." Here you broke what you had going up until this point in that a person with zero experience could follow along. Without prior knowledge of Godot I think I would have been completely lost. With the experience I have, it still took some time and a bit of trial and error to throw together something similar enough to your player scene to follow through the rest of your video. It wasn't a show stopper (for me) but it was a jarring departure from how you presented the rest of the video and a bit frustrating. After the fact I was able to reproduce my efforts in under 60 seconds while calling out my steps like you did elsewhere. This 60 seconds covered creating the new project and setting up world and player nodes with collision, camera, and the default controls from the template script) Overall I think the video would have been better had you included something similar. (you could even then comment you were switching to your other prebuilt player scene that had some refined movement.)

[@TheCreydin]

As someone who has zero experience with Godot, this hit hard. I was stopped dead in my tracks at this exact point. Already set up pre-existing fps controller? What? Completely lost.

[@davidmurphy563]

The trick to tiling without seams is to duplicate the image twice and then to flip on the x and y. With something like wood you can just set the opacity but for best results use an opacity gradient. That way the edges match up perfectly.

[@codesymphony]

I like his way, looks more organic

[@SadFrogMemer]

This video was amazing and extremely helpful for me. Thank you so much for making it. I was able to follow it perfectly until I got to the importing of the .glb file into Blender. For some reason, When I was importing the tileset.glb into Godot, it made the icon for it a red X and also imported the two textures as separate Texture2D assets. Because the scene was a red X, I wasn't able to right click it and select "New Inherited Scene". What I did to fix it was delete those two Texture2D resources it created and then clicked on the tileset.glb file in the "FileSystem" tab. After that, I went to my "Import" tab (next to the Scene tab for me) and scrolled down to the "glTF" section and changed "Embedded Image Handling" from "Extract Textures" to "Embed as Uncompressed". I'm not sure if this is the best option, but it worked for me. There was also a "Embed as Basic Universal", but I'm not sure what that means. I feel like that's also a good option. After that, I clicked the "Reimport" button and it fixed it for me and I was able to continue the steps in the video from there. Hope this helps someone else.

[@alexorhuxley]

You have single-handedly given me the confidence to step into this whole side of design and technology. I've been savvy with everything from graphic design and video editing to CAD software like Vectorworks, but this stuff always intimidated the heck out of me. I followed along, I did the thing, it works, and I'm freaking thrilled. Thank you so much.

[@GalileoCap]

This is an amazingly good tutorial! I've always been intimidated by 3D (specifically Blender with that UI!), but your video gave me the tools to get started and dip into it! Thank you very much!

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Just learn one element at a time. Float from tutorial to tutorial. You'll be making your own stuff in no time!

[@StevePixelFace]

This is a truly fab tutorial. Never really worked with 3D in Godot before. This video gave me a straight forward pipeline that I can work with. Thanks for the vid, awesome stuff!

[@DevLogLogan]

I'm so glad to hear that, I hope you'll be able to make some other cool stuff with the new knowledge!

[@HonestGameDev]

That was a lot of information in a short period, but well conveyed, thanks!

[@DaVince21]

What I really like is that you go through a LOT of material quickly and concretely, explaining all the keyboard shortcuts and menus. I leave with knowledge about all of these useful little bits I can slowly but surely start applying on my own stuff. :)

[@Arukajoe]

This is probably the best tutorial I've ever watched. Concise, with simple explanations, every action is noted, no waffle. Thank you so much!

[@khazlol]

This has single handedly put me onto my game dev journey after years of trying and failing with Unity / Unreal. With what you've taught us - I've done what you've done and then added an NPC that follows you in a certain radius. Working on adding line of sight & sight to the NPC so that you can hide / lose it! Thanks! Looking forward to the next one.

my partner found this video and sent it to me and it kickstarted my gamedev brain into full gear lmao. i did a very quick test prototype following your instructions, and slowing adding more stuff, learning about all aspects of what i want in my final game as i go along. love your stuff. incredible. ive also started taking pictures of bricks and all for my future textures lmao

[@dusekdan]

This was really well made tutorial. A balance of not explaining everything, but covering the most crucial parts and providing keyboard shortcuts you are using. I am putting this into my watch later to revisit, when I get to the part where I am making graphics/models for my game - figured I will google the settings you are using when working in different tools and I will also be able to use these tools that always look scary when I open them and have absolutely no sense of what to do and where.

[@Sponska]

Thank you for showing and explaining this workflow, now I'm finally able to transition into 3D game making, even as a complete Blender beginner. One additional tip I just learned: if you mirror tiles in Blender and suddenly the collisions are broken when imported into Godot, check the normals of the mirrored objects in Blender, in my case I needed to flip them inside out to fix the collisions.

[@fatuzi]

just finished doing this as one of my first godot projects and this tutorial super ruled. doesn't hold your hand too much but still so, so informative. super awesome

[@ducc9816]

This is an excellent video. I've been playing around with 3D tilesets in Godot myself, and you point out some things that would've saved me some confusion and headache if I had implemented them from the start.

[@DevLogLogan]

Saving people headaches like that was exactly my goal, glad to hear you got something out of it. :)

[@razorbl8destudio]

Even 1 year later this video is still great! For all people watching this now though, when you export the tilesets from blender, export them individually, otherwise when you go into godot and turn it into a mesh library, you will only have access to 1 tile.

[@bibbleskit]

[@Drachenbauer]

If you want to have the floor texture overal seamless, you should have the wall and the two corners each four times: one for each of the four directions. Pre-rotate and apply theese pieces in blender and rotate the uv-maps for floor and ceiling textures to make the testures there oriented globally in the same direction. For wall and inner corner go sure, that the ceiling-uv-maps touch the texture edges with their free edges(where they are not attached to the wall) and a tip: you can make the texture of the diagonal upper wall-part only the lower 3/4 of your brick texture. so the height of theese bricks will match closer to the brick-height on the vertical survace. for the inner corner you can also pull one upper vertex of theese rectangles on the uv-map to the middle of the bricktexture-width to reproduce that diagonal cutted shape on the wall. And for the little triangle from the outer corner make it at the top 3/4 of the texture width and also 3/4 of the texture heigh and let it´s down pointing corner sit in the middle of the texture-bottom-edge So it will be just 3/4 of the size of yours on the uv-map ans stand with it´s bottom corner on the same position.

This is genuinely one of the most useful compact tutorials I've watched on both Blender and Godot. The hotkeys alone for Blender are really useful. Excellent job dude.

[@takacsadam2850]

in blender, you can use the UV snap where the UV's edges snap to pixels. this is crucial to pixel art graphics because there won't be clipping or cropping edit: also when working with tiling UV's... eyeballing the tiles is hard, select the separate objects, select the neighboring tiles so you can see them in the UV editor and align the UV with them, it's really easy and it makes things look better

[@cipriancristian9933]

for anyone new with krita and the clone tool is not working, here is a solution: at the top of the window where there is opacity, size, flip and all those options, there is also a drop-down list that should be on 'Normal'; mine was on 'Color' for some reason

[@user-vo1wu2uk1s]

Clear tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@5minutemovies977]

You can create the textures and normal maps in Material Maker too. I use it quite a bit for pixelated, seamless textures and it's great to quickly set up different textures without going from one software to another. You can do the atlas in it too, but I think it's better to use Krita.

This is amazing. I have always had that ache to make tile able maps and your method makes it extremely straightforward and simple.

It tries it's best to approximate texture locations but sometimes does not work but makes it quicker in workflow regardless.

not gonna lie this was SUPER fast paced for me especially since I'm very new to game design, I had to go back and rewatch parts like 4 or 5 times since especially in blender it just felt like entering random code lol. however, this video is going to be super helpful to me because of the amount of information in it, and because I wanna make a game in this low poly/low resolution style.
