Give it a try: Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1105890/Tilesetter/ Itch,io: led.itch.io/tilesetter edit: Audio in the video seems to have clipped a bit. That is unfortunate. I'll have to look into that.

[@TheHomelessNinja]

My response to this was just holy shit. You spent 5 seconds drawing and boom tileset that looks decent. Buying this. I've been struggling with tilesets

[@enbermudas4269]

I though you loaded a previously created tileset cause I jumped to 6:21. So when I got back to when you draw and saw what the program can do... MAN! Instant purchase. Amazing!

[@WeShallBeFreeAtLast]

Too bad there's no way to throw a referral your way; purchased as soon as I finished your video. Such a great tool.

[@uheartbeast]

Haha no worries. I'd just be happy to see the developer do well enough to add a bunch more features :)

[@leviathan-supersystem]

Literally was like "oh, I need this now."

[@arealbigmountain3263]

Never purchased something quicker before

[@swordarmstudios6052]

Yeah this looks cool. I'm not an artist, but this would be a great tool for getting started so I can at least make something decent and prototype while I learn.

[@ImKybi]

Hey! Just wanted to say that I use your videos in my video game design class and they're really clean, cut, and helpful! Thanks dude:)

[@loganjones3723]

INSTANTLY bought this program after watching your FANTASTIC video! I'm a bit new to game development, I've dipped my toes in a few times, and this program caught me hook, line and sinker. It was worth my $20 dollars (aud). I can't wait for future features from the amazing developers @ LED and future tutorials about this software from yourself

[@loteknomad5032]

Remarkable tool! Appreciate you showcasing this. :D

[@megabit95]

Thank you so much for telling me about such an amazing program, I didn't know there was such a thing. As soon as I saw this video, I immediately bought it!

[@GaryParkin]

Thanks Benjamin for all your tutorials. At the time of this writing, I'm a week into Godot and it's amazing how much you can do with it. Tilesetter is a must have for me. I'll be getting it as soon as I learn more. Coming into this I assumed you had to place each tile and pick it from some chart. I had no idea there was software that let you draw it out.

[@ServentofTheMostMerciful]

THANK YOU! I just saw my art came to real life and it works, and it was the happiest moment ever! :)

[@goldenwreathgames4143]

this is amazing, absolutely just purchased it!

[@hanzofactory]

This is such an amazing thing. So easy and amazing results, even with my terrible pixel art skills!

[@al-farsigames538]

This is awesome! I'll buy it for sure! Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@hasanyousef6782]

Life could not be easier after launching this program.

[@Warionator]

Bought this software instantly after seeing this video, 100% come in handy later on!

[@michaelgrafe7756]

thanks for showing me/us that tool i bought it right away because that toll is something i was looking for a long time now^^

[@thulsadum]

This is a fancy time saver! Thanks for sharing.

[@beebster7]

Purchased. Awesome tool saves a lot of hassle, thanks for the heads up.

[@joeysox4539]

All I can say is amazing.

[@crispynoodles2211]

I love your videos your the best! Keep up the good work!

[@toddkronenberg4126]

This looks amazing. New to gamedev, making tilesets and figuring out all the kinds of tiles I need to make the auto tiling work well seems like a pain. Tilesetting fixes this in a stroke! Immediately downloading!

[@michaelcapone175]

Such a great end result with such little effort.

[@simonlow0210]

This software is CRAZY!!! So convenient!!! The developer must be genius for creating this!!!

[@RuaanRuaan]

The thumbnail looks so clean

[@GameBroJimmy]

HOLY BALLS this is a great time saver. im buying it right now

[@MrSchmatze]

really nice tool! i always hated the process of creating tilesets, tyvm:)

[@roxannesimoners]

I really love all of your videos, they are all very knowledgeable! It'll be cool if you have a discord server for your subs to gather!

[@samanzarza]

your work is great man keep it going :))

[@spiritblue5139]

Id love to see more gms videos. They really helped me alot.

[@notakae7089]

Although i can't pay for the full version (i'm a child lol) it's still a really useful tool. I didn't know how to work it until this video. Thanks!

[@victornoagbodji]

this is amazing!

[@marktriestolive1781]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@Serphalack]

Thanks for that great video! Awesome!

[@slot9]

Grreat stuff. Thanks man!

[@redpie907]

[@amirghalbarband3038]

wow... that's a great tool, thanks for sharing

[@CaptainXYT]

That's so helpful!!!

[@igbowgames]

Very useful thank you !!!

[@xeonviento9778]

Amazing tool.

[@Silenoid]

Bought it at the speed of light hours ago and still think that's the best way I've ever spent my money

[@jackpaice]

Holy crap, what a game changer!

[@SubversiveSalmon]

thank you

[@halfordmovies]

Hi HeartBeast, nice tutorial...as all your others. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. Would it be possible to do a another tilesetter/Godot autotile tutorial including slopes in the tiles? I'm getting stuck with those. Thanks

[@meratheafflictionwarlock]

I bought this the other day and I just downloaded Godot as well, because holy crap this looks so handy! I spent probably at least 100 hours making a tileset for a top down 2D game last autumn, and had to ditch a lot of the stuff I had made because it wasn't good or things got too complicated. I wish I had known about this!

[@mahmoud.zayedd]

Thumbnail is Epic

[@a_soulspark]

I think it's from the Tilesetter trailer which btw looks great

[@schnitzelhannes6431]

The free version has the basic stuff like creating the tilemap and exporting as image, but nothing of the fancy stuff i.e. inbuilt map editor and export for different engines. But you are able to use it quite good

[@d4rkd0s]

Nice video thank you!!

[@d4rkd0s]

Picked it up on steam, great program

[@Syeno]

I like how it saves time on tile sets, but does it support transparent tiles and stacking tile layers for detailed map editing? One of the greatest problems with map editors is they have clunky layering.

[@peteyoung3124]

... I have wasted SO MUCH TIME making tilesets. I so wish I knew about this sooner. This will so help with GMTK Jam 2021 this weekend (I hope).

[@Atraira]

Thanks! Actual Tilesetter tutorial starts at 4:30.

[@joshuavadrot4324]

hello, i just want to know if you can make some others tuto on physics in Game Maker please? i really need to know how to create a ragdoll body to make my player be normal when i move and turn into ragdoll if i get hitted too hard then turn again into normal after the ragdoll detect he's not moving ( sorry if my english is not very well ) Or is it much easyer to make the moving/fighting animations with the ragdoll body ?

[@chilli1472]

definitely buy it on itch. You get a steam key as well

[@Lukifah]

just wow

[@DankMemes-xq2xm]

I know this is an old video but I can't paste my texture files into TileSetter. I've set the resolution of the PNG to be 16x16 but regardless if I copy / paste it or I drag and drop it, it won't load into the program Edit: figured it out, I had to right click a tile and click "import"

[@hugagagePersonal]

잘 보고 갑니다.

[@kylin3197]

interesting...guess I'll get!

[@alyxlarsen2144]

Did you use Tilesetter to do the cliffs in your action RPG tutorial? If so, could you do a tutorial on it? I am having a hard time getting it to work because of the cliff height. It creates strange inner corners.

[@cr103]

A game changer (no pun intended). I really hope yoyogames don't rip this off and implement it into gamemaker studio. credit where credits due.

[@agnesel7859]

thank you for this tutorial, I'm definitely going to buy it! If may I ask you one more thing about Tilesetter, do you find a way to modify each tile in order to create little differences between each of them (in order to make them look not too repetitive)? thank you again for the great explanation :D

[@JVJF7]

Are you using godot? There you can use the priority tab in the autotiling options for that

[@freetolisten]

this is way too dank

[@psyboyo]

Instant purchase. Just like that.

[@super_bits]

Are you going to do more game maker 2 tutorials?

[@pixelrabbit261]

Have you had chance to find out what the Godot export option adds? Looks like it's just tile size. Would be cool if it did everything (bitmask etc), or am I missing something?

[@shotarcherz1690]

Can you please make a top-down shooter tutorial for Godot using 2d

[@zaxolotl]

> be heartbeast > makes two simple textures in aesprite > tilesetter generates 98% of tileset from two textuers in like 5 clicks > import tilset into godot in a few minutes flawlessly > *STONKS*

[@circle2620]

Hi Ben, have you heard of PGM (Pixel Game Maker MV)? Not to be confused with RPG Maker, different developer / same publisher. I just purchased this and am learning how to make games in it. It's improving since release and they are working on a UI update so I have high hopes. I love the fact that it is visual scripting setup. Also allows some scripting, but is not required. It would be cool if you did a tutorial. I know it's another engine to learn, just asking. Thanks

[@mauricedoerr1992]

does the programme allow collisions to be set up directly in tilesetter? (export to godot) are the maps created with tilesetter dynamic?

[@cm16533]

Does this support vector looking tilesets as well?

[@Ragnark1]

Can you have multiple different edges so it doesn’t look so regular?

[@arm1773]

can you do a tutorial on sling shots, like angry birds type of coding

[@samigo2000]

im wondering if you can make isometric tile sets

[@HavreDuc]

❤🙏

[@fierorecensione5828]

Top!!! How this it work if we can make organic tiles? Thank you!!!

[@FeltBored]

Can I use my tiles for RPG Maker VX Ace?

[@route1rodent83]

Thanks for the video, it was clearer for me than the getting-started one in the documentation. One question: how does the Godot export work? It generates a ".tres" file but Godot does not recognize it

[@stephenmandelbaum2027]

tres is already a packed resource, when you create a tilemap node, use load instead of new.

[@ActualSunshine]

Has anyone else been having problems with tilesetter on mac? It looks great for speeding up processes, but it doesn't seem to function very well. I can't delete anything in the upper window. Selecting a box and pessing delete does nothing. The right click menu doesn't have delete. Also when i draw in the bottom window the cursor moves much faster than where tiles are being drawn. So strange.

[@RoughDonut]

Hello Ben! I was wondering if you would ever upload part 8 of the platformer tutorial for Godot! That series is so helpful! It's a shame you didn't finish it :(

[@mateuszperyt7998]

I agree!

[@dan2562]

he probably has his reasons ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@SovereignVis]

And what if you want slopes in your tilesets?

[@cesarsantana7475]

Teacher I have a sound problem in the game maker2 if I select more than one time the sound multiplies I do not know how to solve it wanted a little help.

[@midiadotiktok]

Hello Heart can you help me on Platform Shooter on your video? i want make a charge beam like megaman how could i do? please help me man

[@ViniCavin]

Does it support animated tiles?

[@user-cp9hz4ok5z]

Are you a god?

[@null_ham]

heck ye

[@grapeshott]

Darn!!

[@Uglysub5]

Could you please talk about the game engine : Gdevelop?

[@thomasemeio]

What is a bitmask? I googled, but I don't understand.

[@ahhhlex2]

hey i have been watching the Godot Tutorials you've made and i was hoping if you could make a wall jumping tutorial it would be really usefull

[@schnitzelhannes6431]

how about figuring it out yourself? if you followed other tutorials this isnt really hard..

[@ragreenburg]

Any other tools like this? I can't get it to build on Linux.

[@dearno1749]

Can this software be adapted in to rpg maker?

[@gmtutorials7010]

can yu make 3D enemy chase AI in gamemaker?

[@hamoom]

has anyone used this on mac? the scroll speed is so hard to control. I also cant figure out how to delete tiles.

[@Jalecko]

When shaun and hearbeast upload a tutorial on the same topic on the same day

[@uheartbeast]

Yeah I saw Shaun upload his and I was like "Oh no! We did the same thing" but luckily his is more of a general overview of the software and mine is more of a step-by-step tutorial.

[@firstname4337]

@@uheartbeast we all know you could kick Shaun's ass in a fight

[@offthebooksmusic]

when i paste and delete the 2nd tile it does not magically come back in that menu like yours did.

[@Kojow7]

This program does not seem to work properly on MacOS. I am trying the demo one out on MacOS but it seems unusable. There is no right-click menu (even if I try to use CTRL+click). Also, if I double click in the upper left area where you can paste tiles it zooms in. Then there seems to be no way to zoom out again. The window control buttons are also in the upper-right corner which likely means that it wasn't really designed for MacOS. Does anyone know if any of these issues exist in the paid version as well?

[@grayfaux_]

Export for Godot from tilesetter and drag the three files into your project and the bitmask is already done.

[@SamsungGalaxy00176]

Make a asprite tutorial

[@wigglebot765]

Do you think this could be used for top down games?

[@CatCalledBlep]

It can, you can see some examples of it being used for top down games on tilesetters Twitter page

[@digitalswordplay]

Hey Ben, I just had a quick question for you! It's a little off topic from tilesetter, but I thought reaching out to you on your most current youtube upload might be the easiest. - I'm rolling through your courses right now and learning a lot! - That being said I was thinking of creating my own topdown rpg, but I was thinking of adding the mechanic of when you enter into a dungeon it switches to a platformer environment for the length of the level and then goes back to top down. This would require disabling the up and down move code, and implementing a jump function + gravity for the platform dungeon and then switching back after the dungeon. I was thinking of creating a script for the two move environments, but was wondering if you could help me with the code. Ie, how to switch player move scripts between the two rooms. Any advice would be amazing! - Thanks :)

@@helloguysmaster4148 when was the last time you used the thing ? the tilemap module is a useful one for easy graphics (although collisions still need to be made manually)

[@kilotheneko2064]

@@helloguysmaster4148 eh it still has some support and i would disagree that for it to be a true tileset it needs to have auto tiling and auto collisions
