Unfortunately this tutorial doesn't work very well with the new way Godot is set up. Having a lot of trouble finding the corresponding settings in the new tile editor.

[@ydkim8755]

I'm so grateful for your contribution to open knowledge and Godot community. Thank you!

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

My pleasure!

[@neckkeys5251]

I am new to godot and wants to do a tower defense game, your tutorial is amazing and you are a good tutor, thanks.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Thx neckkeys, have fun with the tutorials :)

[@mr.johnson8974]

hope to see an update to the series sometime! None of the menus are the same so I couldn't follow along. Everything in Godot has changed, so I wish I knew which version this was

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Godot 3.x

[@CDev5022]

holy shit cant wait to try it

[@lexi3077]

Thanks a lot :) I learned a lot of new Stuff for the Tiles.

[@CROXoDyLE]

lots of cool little tips! awesome video!

[@randomdood5095]

Dude this is amazing

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

I'm glad you like it

[@werecodingdotnet]

This. Is. Amazing. How have I never heard about this software! Switching from Unity 100%.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Unity is a powerful engine, although clunky with 2D. For an indie/hobby developer though. I would advise Godot over anything else :) :gdcbonsai:

[@andresgrimminck8674]

You, Sir, deserve more views!

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

I appreciate that!

[@Hawkknight88]

Loving the series so far. Thank you!

[@yashwanthsrini]

Thanks. Very useful video.

[@teo2805]

Haha, I was just looking for a series like this!

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Awesome, hope it is going to be helpful for you :)

[@gutzimmumdo4910]

incredible quality content.

thanks for the tutorial

Legend!

[@Chris_84]

Hey, I'm doing an assessment and I've switch to using your tutorial its much higher quality, better instructions and just all around a clearer experience but I'm facing a problem I have to use Godot 4 I can't use 3 do you have any updated. versions?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

No, I do not, and I regretfully never got to finish this series itself as I started a studio myself and have to prioritize on that for the moment. I have plans to redo and complete this series in Godot 4 in the relatively near future. Regretfully, that won't help you now in the present.

[@abdoulraoufgambo]

Wondeful takes i see this👌👍👍👍

[@teo2805]

Hi, I have an issue with the tileset and after drawing the Bitmask and all, the autotile is not working as yours is. Is there a chance you know why or can upload the file for me? Edit: This fixed itself by restarting Godot, not the first time such a thing happens to me lol!

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Yeah, I get such weirdness from time to time as well. Annoying, but considering how fast Godot starts, not to much of an issue compared to other engines ^^

[@mars6182]

Thanks a lot :)

[@mafk9099]

The Napoli t-shirt threw me in a loop lol that's where I'm from

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

lol

[@Flashcard_Games]

Just download version godot 3.3.2 and you can follow along easily. Dont just limit yourself to the newest tutorials as these programs are always changing anyways, youre always going to have to learn new ways to navigate the software

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Also working on a 4.2 version of this series :)

[@Flashcard_Games]

Your tutorials are great, thank you for teaching us. I'm starting college for game dev later this month but I'm trying to learn some stuff before hand. ​@@GameDevelopmentCenter

[@Pēm̐cā]

Just to know im making my own assets do you have any turtoial or something about making your own?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

No, I do not. More of a coder than an artist myself :)

[@johnnyxp64]

Just started your tutorials cause i am switching from business software developer to indie game developer, and i have to say it stresses me out the fact that you are 50% 10:35 for example in this video and you haven't yet saved the Map1 tilemap scene [unsaved] when at any given moment we can loose our progress :) i am a ctrl+S kind of a devloper per every single line of code or action i do and i cant do that now yet because i dont know how you will save that scene :/ lol..... my OCD is going crazy :D

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Hahaha, usually I already got the project coded out before re-doing it while recording. So I don't loose a thing. Sorry to trigger your OCD :P

[@johnnyxp64]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter hehe, btw in future videos kindly try to click the buttons or whatever in the Godot a bit slower, your mouse is moving to fast and windows are popping up to fast and i have to go back and slow down the speed and pause the video to see where exactly did you go. Remember most of us we are using dual monitors or more. on the one is your video playing and on our main the dev Enviroment working on this so it takes a lot of pauses, but if you try to slow down a bit the paste , just a bit, then would be much easier to follow. :) thanks a lot again for your tutorials! I hope you are planing to make more. (i wonder if ARPG or RTS the hardest type of games to build) are possible in Godot engine :/

[@Craulback]

Challenging to follow with the new autotile system in Godot 4, but I kind of enjoyed the extra challenge.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Yeah, system has gone through a lot of changes. I reshot the tutorial for 4.1.3, but with 4.2 they changed the filesystem again. So ..... reshooting again :)

[@Craulback]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter Yeah I'm on part 5 now, there really has been a lot of changes lol. Good luck with the new series!

[@green2633]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter Thanks for the work you're putting in im sure its very frustrating for you but it helps a lot!

[@kylewise1190]

How does this translate into the new TileMapLayer in 4.3? Theres not an option for adjusting the cell size and creating a tileMap gives a depreciation error.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Not well, the tilemap system has been completely revamped in Godot 4.0, and has had additional changes in 4.3 and will get changed again in 4.4

[@annogaming9535]

nice!

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Thanks!

[@diegophhh]

Are you going to do with dedicated server?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

No, that would make this series unnecessary complex and long. Working on something like that in my livestreams though, dedicated server and with blockchain NFTs :)

[@franciscodeodato7622]

thanks once again

[@PikaBubbles]

Thank you, even though godot 4.0 is different many of the setting are still there just under a different location or name. I was able to figure it out and prob learned godot a bit better this way.

[@diploraptordm5725]

Can I just like put the picture of a map I drew on my tablet instrad of making tiles

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Yeah that's possible

[@ЕгорАнтонов-м4к]

The question is Why we are not using "retina" files? What's the different between default and retina ones?

[@ЕгорАнтонов-м4к]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter Thanks, got it!

[@1ncrement]

holy shit that cool, tnx u rly

[@GGriddy]

For some reason the road autotile reverses the turns and T-crossroads; I have to switch up the bitmask to make it work.

[@GGriddy]

When disabling Autotile, selecting one of the reversed roads show a different thumbnail than what they actually appear as on the grid

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Not sure I understand your issue. Would love to help out on the Discord if it is still a problem

[@shardul52]

Thank you Sir

[@PocketsWasMineFirst]

For some reason when playing the project, the map does not show. I am going back to correct it, but does anyone have ideas why?

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Jump on the Discord. Much easier to get help there.

[@PocketsWasMineFirst]

@@GameDevelopmentCenter okay, thanks!

[@pauladelucio]

hey do i still use the same size of screen if i am doing 8bits or

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

For 8bits the screen size tends to be smaller, but ultimately you build for your target audience/device/platform. I'm personally not a pixel/bit dev. So I'm not the one to give advice on screen size here. I'm sure you will find someone who can help in the Godot Discord :)

[@smwa6773]

Hey the top-down tower link is broken.

[@GameDevelopmentCenter]

Thank you for letting me know. I fixed the link in this and all other descriptions of this series.

[@smwa6773]

[@abdoulraoufgambo]

But Can you do a série on 2d Platform like dead cells Please 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@rock0795]

New versions of Godot is different you cant follow along unfortunetly

[@12_Monkeys]
