Putting this devlog together was a real challenge, but I know that making my dream game will be an even bigger one. I hope you enjoyed watching my progress so far, and I can't wait for you to see what's next. 😊 I hope you'll stick around. Love y'all.❤

[@umar56838]

You're very good at this but can you tell me how you got the water working in an isometric perspective 2d game

[@infinitenex8165]

Very good video. It shows you put some effort into it.

@@infinitenex8165 Thank you!

[@NightHutStudio]

Awesome devlog, really smooth! What's the tool you're using at 1:13 to plan your work?

[@catcactus1234]

I randomly stumbled upon this video after browsing through other dev logs from small creators and just gotta say this is one of the few series I’m actually looking forward to following! I love how you get straight into the development process and don’t clog the video with filler. The isometric perspective will definitely be unique compared to most other games and I’m surprised you don’t know much about colors considering how your colors already look fantastic. Can’t wait to see more!

[@LostGameDev]

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for your kind words CatCactus! Glad to hear you enjoyed the devlog, it means a lot. ❤️

[@AnEmortalKid]

Omg when you said you needed some help I immediately thought of commenting a link to Adam’s video. Wonderful surprise to see him actually check your art and provide feedback.

[@LostGameDev]

Yo, that's sick. Yep, he's a really nice guy. I learned a lot from him over the last few years.🙂

Awesome content dude, liked and subscribed.

[@lithium]

If you're going to do your collisions in 2D you can collide against the convex hull of your sprite, which you can determine by finding the contours of the non transparent pixels and then triangulating using delaunay or ear clipping triangulation. You can use the same method for generating walkable area meshes to make sure your player stays on appropriate surfaces

[@Moon_LightX1]

honstley if i ever made a "Dream" 2d game of mine i kind of would imagine this

[@cappedmonke5509]

Man you are just like me, loving games like Harvest Moon, the isometric perspective and watching Adams stream. Hell, you even have the same desktop background. Keep going and don't give up, it's going to be great!

[@LostGameDev]

Lmao. What can I say, you have great taste! 😅

[@ringo2715]

A single pixel can make a huge difference and sometimes it's very hard to see where those shifts and placements need to happen. With time it becomes easier. Not necessarily easy just easier. It's all looking good so far.

[@LostGameDev]

Absolutely right. Thanks Ringo. 😊

[@mopete9830]

I love the look can't wait to play it also it's important as a artist to step back and get a second or even group of people to give you feedback. When you are so close and working it's hard to see your mistakes. As a artist for over ten years that was my biggest take away.

[@BlackFrawg]

I like the wonky face on the character, and this seems like an interesting game idea so far, good luck on making Hooked! 👍

For the colision you can make a diamond shaped collider = one grid cell, and aint them at the base of your objets. use a separated tile layer for conveniece.

[@GoodguyGastly]

I'm doing isometric in Unreal Engine and its SO HARD! I've managed to get the grid, established telling it which grid is under the mouse but pathfinding is crazy hard. Love your videos and the editing. Thanks a bunch for letting us share in your progress.

[@LostGameDev]

Thank you so much GoodguyGastly! I've never used Unreal Engine before, but making an isometric game definitely comes with a lot of challenges. 😅

[@AnEmortalKid]

This looks fantastic so far. A few suggestions that came to mind: - browse LoSpec for a color palette since it will give you a set of colors that work together and also help remove decisions on colors based on the palette. I believe one of Adam Younis’ vídeos talked about palettes and making that decision early has helped a lot. - with your island ideas, try to sketch out other arrangements (lake on middle, lake on corners that aren’t bottom right) to see how the camera works and if you will be able to get away with not moving left/right. Maybe the Cinemachine asset has some settings you can use for isometric following camera.

[@LostGameDev]

Hey. That's great advice, thanks! I will experiment more with the camera to make sure it works as intended. As for colors, I'm trying to improve my pixel art skills, so I think learning to pick colors myself is a good step in that direction. That said, I think Lospec is a great place to start when building your own palette, and I actually use it from time to time.

[@catcactus1234]

LoSpec is pretty neat but Coolors is my go-to for color palettes. The amount of variety and filter selection is great.

[@stippo2586]

I love the progress so far👏 I’m no master at pixel art by any means but I wouldn’t make the roof grey because it’s very contrasty with all your colours. Maybe try for the generic red or even a blue-violet. Just a suggestion tho :)

[@LostGameDev]

Hey, glad to know you enjoyed the video! The colors are just temporary, intended to provide some basic visual interest while I continue developing the game. They will be changed in the near future, but I totally agree with you. ☺

[@limmmi]

Great video, look forward to this game dev! I'm also building an isometric game and had so many issues with camera controllers! Mines a strategy building game so no character controller. In the end my camera setup is now in perspective mode, along with alot of other things, with a few tweaks to fake it into isometric art style. Good luck and keep up the productivity!

[@omerrudnick8195]

This looks awesome! Good luck to you on your journey! What software did you use to make the pixel art? And what would you recommend to someone who's been struggling with coding in Unity?

[@LostGameDev]

Hey, thanks a lot! The software I use for making pixel art is called Aseprite. If you're having trouble with coding, I recommend taking a course or two (even on KZbin) that can teach you how to create simple and small games. This will help you understand the basics and build a strong foundation of knowledge. It's okay to take things step by step. Once you have a good grasp of the basics, you'll be able to continue learning on your own. That's been my experience, at least.

[@omerrudnick8195]

Thank you! How did you make the devlog? I might make one myself one day@@LostGameDev

[@oddism]

Cool!

[@JCunliffeUK]

Good luck with this David! I'm taking the plunge into gamedev as well and I really want to make a 2D isometric game. Still in the tutorial/ learning phase so it'll likely be awhile before I make anything but I'll definitely be following along for insights you might have to share. The devlog was a lot of fun. I'd love to know your thoughts on the workflow for it. I'm finding I'm spending a lot more time on content on my own channel rather than learning gamedev at the moment which isn't ideal. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@LostGameDev]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It's really encouraging to hear that you're also pursuing game development, and I wish you all the best on your journey. Finding the right balance between game development and content creation can definitely be a challenge. I've experienced firsthand how much time and effort it can take to create a polished video while also making progress on your game project. For example, it took me a month to edit this video, and I ended up reshooting it like six times until I was happy with how it turned out. To be honest, I'm still figuring things out myself, and I don't think I have all the answers. But I believe it's all about finding a balance that works for you. You seem to have been in the KZbin game for longer than me so perhaps you can give me some advice.🙂

[@JCunliffeUK]

@@LostGameDev It's a graft for sure. I'm trying to treat each new video as a chance for me to develop some skills. I'm still trying to figure out how to feel comfortable on camera and how to come across well. Probably easier for some people but I've really struggled with it. It can be really tough to see all the flaws at times but, it's that whole thing of failing fast and failing often which hopefully is leading me to a place of experience. I’ve worked with some successful influencer types who say, just be yourself to get the most out of it, if you're persistent the right crowd will eventually appear. So I'm hoping that's true

[@GodsAutobiography]

You can simplify your collision a lot if you make the game in an orthographic perspective. You can write a coupe functions to convert all x and y coordinates to the isometic positions and draw your sprites there. That way you never need to worry about angled when writing movement/collision

[@LostGameDev]

Hey, thanks for the tip! I'm not exactly sure how to implement that yet, but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks!😊

[@GodsAutobiography]

​@@LostGameDev I made a video thats effectively a code walkthrough on how I did it with GameMaker. It's a different language but the scripts read pretty similarly. May not be the best approach, but it opened up some neat opportunities for quick level design and collisions were fine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Ozh5Rnba6Zn9k

Right now, I'm focused on getting the game's basic mechanics working and improving the art, but once we have that sorted out, I'll definitely be looking to add more cool features to the game. 🙂 If you want, you can share your idea on our Discord server too, where we have a channel for suggestions.

[@iiropeltonen]

It seems you solved your collision problem at the end of the video. Did you try polygonal colliders?

[@LostGameDev]

Not sure what you mean. I haven't yet found a solution to my problem. Although I haven't tried polygonal colliders, I'm definitely willing to give them a shot.

[@Uhfgood]

Not knowing anything about isometric games, my first though would be to do everything topdown, and then build your scene and place your character depending on where it is in the topdown map. You could even have it there, and simply not display the topdown map.

[@LostGameDev]

Hey! I'm not sure how that would work, but I'll definitely look into it and see if it makes sense for the game. Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it.🫰

[@NateNorgaard]

For collisions, have you considered using 3d colliders? It depends on what kind of collisions/movement you want, but it would be able to better represent shapes in isometric 2d. I haven't done all my research, but just throwing the idea out there.

[@ctrlaubdel]

Great video! Curious - what tools are shown in this video for your project management, art inspiration collages, and pixel art?

[@LostGameDev]

Hey! I use Aseprite for pixel art, PureRef for art references, and Notion and Milanote for project management.

Hello, thanks for the video! Did you have sorting problems with isometric tilemap having multiple Y levels and player being taller than 1 tile? Because when I move player some back tiles randomly popping and getting in front of player Or you are not implemented proper sorting yet? I am trying to make multiple-y-level isometric game too but sorting is huuuge pain for me in that scenario, because it is not so easy to sort dynamic objects that are bigger in size than a tile and if they can be moved freely in any direction

[@LostGameDev]

Hey! Sorting sprites in an isometric tilemap can be tricky, but the way I handle it is by sorting the sprites based on their Y position, specifically their pivot point. You also want to make sure that your player character and objects are on the same sorting layer for it to work properly. Hope that helps!

[@byronmorley2907]

Love the video, can anyone tell me what program he is using at 2:16 for collecting inspirational images please

[@niuage]

Good luck on your project mate. Seems ambitious, especially the part about the town with characters you can form relationships with. That sounds hard to make well, both from a coding perspective and form a content one. But you can obviously do it if you stick to it! Quick question, which software do you use to keep track of your inspiration? Can you also take notes in it and build diagrams?

[@LostGameDev]

Thanks niuage! I'm sure implementing that will come with its challenges.😅 To answer your question, the one you saw in my video is Milanote, which is pretty nice, but I use others as well. I was actually thinking of making a video in the near future to show the tools I use for game development.

[@niuage]

@@LostGameDev Cool, I'd like that. I actually use milanote but recently realized that it had a pretty small block limit without paying, and I dont really feel like doing so...

[@sourlesscream1272]

first off, very well edited video nice job and im loving the artstyle you've shown though im guesing most of it is a place holder for now now for the collision, although I have never worked with isometric games in Unity 2d i think I have an idea... there is a unity component called Edge Collider or Polygon Colider that could be used but the still have to be manually placed... sadly I don't have the time to actually test to see if it would work and i ofc dont know how you coded your character controller to begin with but this still may help you

[@LostGameDev]

Hey, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you like the art style, although you're right that much of it is still just a placeholder at the moment.

Your Game's Amazing! If you can, then please add a backstory before the game begins

[@NoaTugy]

Since the game is working with blocks, maybe make a statement of each block created if the player can collide with or not I didn't watch the end yet xD

[@LostGameDev]

Thanks for the feedback! In the second devlog (you can find it on the channel), I tried implementing a character movement system where you control your character with the mouse, and each block had a 'blocked' property to restrict movement. However, I ended up ditching that idea since it didn't quite fit the game. I switched to using polygon colliders, which turned out to be a lot easier to work with.😊

[@kkrup5395]

Gray color you used on the house's base and roof is really bland an uninviting. I'd play with a shade of gray on the base and changed the roof to blue. Also I suggest you figuring out color scheme first, one that is made nicely will do wonders for your game's style, and there are tools to generate them!

[@LostGameDev]

Hey, thanks for the feedback! The colors are just temporary, intended to provide some basic visual interest while I continue developing the game, and will be changed in the future. I totally agree that a good color scheme can make a big difference, and I plan to experiment with different options as I continue working on the art.☺
