Game Builder Garage - 2D Sprites & Texture Editor

[@ChaloopaJoe]

Pretty sure this is the first video I've ever seen of yours. Very nostalgic!

[@VideoDojoPro]

🎨 Update: This video was made before BGB launched... Here's my new video tutorial showing how to create animated textures!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGewoaiDnsxogqc

[@nenecitosart1405]

This should be the game that would make having a switch stylus mandatory. Oh and it would be nice to get Art Academy on switch.

[@fadedjunky4965]

Word,art academy and mario paint switch. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@ChristianAVS]

Definitely works better on handheld mode. A pen seems essential

[@JoCr2]

I am curious how something like a walking animation works in 2D, i.e. how you tell it to go to the next frames when walking. There is a bit of "walking" like that seen in the fighting game. Guess we'll have to wait and see

[@AmberCresent]

Lol, I have been playing for hours now, still don’t know how to change sprites

[@m1rhrv404]

@@AmberCresent did you find out yet?

[@AmberCresent]

@@m1rhrv404 yeah, it's still overly complicated. I think Nintendo was expecting people to just use the person, car, and ufo models, thus making something that is usually easy overly complicated. oof, lol

[@truthbydesign5146]

@@AmberCresent In what software is 8-bit and 16-bit style, sprite based game design usually “easy” ?

[@AmberCresent]

@@truthbydesign5146 if you get good at it, it gets easier. now, its a lot harder than normal art styles, but gbg makes it worse

[@VideoDojoPro]

10K Views!!! Thanks so much everyone, it's great to see so many people excited for GBG!

[@SteelandSouls]

I'm pretty sure the "eye dropper" is a color picker tool. As in if you use a specific color shade that you want perfectly duplicated, it will pull that exact color. It's the same icon in most graphical editing programs.

[@VideoDojoPro]

@@SteelandSouls Yes you're right! colour picker and 'eye dropper' are both sometimes used interchangeably to refer to the same tool!

[@fikkitchen]

I love this so much! Please keep making these! Would love to see some tutorials on the game itself once it's out!!!

[@VideoDojoPro]

Thanks so much! Don't worry... I already have quite a few videos I'd like to make!

[@notarmani4804]

Indeed. I agree.

[@cancercrab6487]

Great video! Really informative and helpful! 😁

[@VideoDojoPro]

Thank you! 😊

[@whiteguy6901]

Hi Dom, I know it hasn't come out yet, but can we make a Lario fighting mini game please

[@VideoDojoPro]

I like the way you think!

[@Nyathefirst]

Im back here to say that it is out and i play it not even 10 minutes after release

[@Avm371998]

I like how we're able to make our own texture but i really hope it isn't limited to pixel art. I really hope we can make more detailed textures that have curved and diagonal lines instead of being gridded pixels.

[@Joe_____7]

Rip

[@ZanManVR]

i knew this but if i didn't this would help so much good job!

[@virtual153]

Man this game is gonna be fucking sick.

[@logicalfundy]

In the upper right corner of the texture editor, in the title bar - is a book with a magnifying glass - a button to access your catalog of textures, perhaps?

[@VideoDojoPro]

Ahh well spotted! and a great suggestion for the possible usage!

[@elmarakovideo]

Thanks for your info about wrapping textures on those three shapes. We definitely need Onion Skinning!

[@VideoDojoPro]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@MarkyB2k]

Could someone help me to get my backgrounds in the background they keep showing up in front of my character in a 2d platformer please help thank you

[@PirateOfTheNorth]

Is it possible to import sprites that you made on PC and saved on the SD card?

[@VideoDojoPro]

Not currently, that would be a great update though!

[@therunawaykid6523]

I’m trying to make a donkey Kong country game with a sprite I’ve used is it possible to have him walk instead of just sliding

[@Unluckydood]

Nice video! Just a thought, I thought that the ice cream in the nodon bake shop was a fuzzball fancy object but backwards.

[@VideoDojoPro]

Ahh great thought!

[@notarmani4804]

This is gonna be really useful when I get the game so I can make meme platformer games with troll face and among us pixel art

[@notarmani4804]

@@matthewlawton9241 Indeed.

[@Amiami7777D]

I brought the game today and no sign of texture settings?

[@VideoDojoPro]

I'll be making a video that goes into more details about how it works!

[@Amiami7777D]

Thank you sir 😊

[@thesliderkid2987]

I'm going to make my own Mario sprites and make a fan game

[@robfrydryck127]

how do you add transparency so you don't see the cube

[@xX-DogSama-Xx]

Considering making my first real project in this to be super monkey ball-esque, since the level design doesnt exactly have to be the prettiest for it to still be fun

[@VideoDojoPro]

Ahh awesome! It's funny you mention SMB, while playing with the moving objects yesterday my mind jumped immediately to how I'd make a super monkey ball style game!

[@xX-DogSama-Xx]

@@VideoDojoPro oh awesome! My mind is running wild with ideas, but no stores around me have opened up yet. One thing i have seen people complain about is the lack of 3d asset creation, but my immediate first thought was either doom or paper mario style 2d sprites in the 3d space, but im not sure if thatll be too complex

[@VideoDojoPro]

@@xX-DogSama-Xx Yeah, some kind of model editor or tool would really take GBG to the next level!

[@lrgogo1517]

What's the source of all these example games supposedly from Nintendo? I've never seen half of these before.

[@VideoDojoPro]

They all came from GBG trailers or TV spots, including from Nintendo of Japan.

[@SpinelessJohn]

I just gotta know what’s the max number of frames you can draw

[@VideoDojoPro]

Great question... This is just pure speculation but I would imagine the only limit for the number of 'frames' would be the 512 Nodon limit and the 1024 connection limit. Only a few more days until we know for sure!

[@mrbigdog8625]

This is where history started.

[@VideoDojoPro]

🥲

[@Potter-.]

How do you change it

[@Odd_Octopus]

4:16 I do not see this anywhere on the game

[@VideoDojoPro]

That is an example of the UI in WarioWare D.I.Y. which has an 'onion skinning' option

[@shadyshyguy4058]

By the way, you don't need your switch to be docked to use a mouse. You can put an USB C to USB A adapter into the USB C port and you can use a mouse in tabletop. This kind of adapter is really cheap and might be useful for switch lite owners 😉

[@VideoDojoPro]

Is this confirmed to work? That'll be super useful!

[@shadyshyguy4058]

@@VideoDojoPro I used this method to use a mouse in Smile Basic 4 (on regular switch) . It worked. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with switch lite and GBG. But again the adapter is really cheap so it worth to try.

[@VideoDojoPro]

@@shadyshyguy4058 Awesome, thanks for the info!

[@PicoDePaulo]

Great video 👍

[@VideoDojoPro]

Thank you! 😊

[@davidbentley4195]

Interesting video. I was thinking of buying this but I was somewhat put off but its focus on 3d. I'd like to use it to make classic arcade games like Galaxian, Joust, Dig Dug etc. Not sure if it's possible tbh.

[@VideoDojoPro]

I've only spent a couple of hours in the 'Free Programming' section of the game but so far it seems like recreating classic arcade games would be totally possible!

[@davidbentley4195]

@@VideoDojoPro okay.. that's sold it to me. buying now. haha

[@ilovethetwineball]

Wait, is the 2D stuff released yet?

[@VideoDojoPro]

Yep! You can create 2D textures in GBG, this video was released prior to launch

[@ilovethetwineball]

@@VideoDojoPro ok thanks

[@AverageJoeGuitarPlayer]

I’m going to put this on the watch later list. So when this comes out I will have an idea of what I’m doing but I may not even be able to make a stick figure. I’ll give it a shot though 😎

[@emmanuelhill6648]

I want a fighter game

[@VideoDojoPro]

Me too!🤜🏻💥

[@Bagel_Le_Stinky]

Wario Ware diy is from 2010

[@8-bitsteve500]

I bought this today as I love the idea of creating my own simple games and it was fun going through the tutorials but I came to realise the 2d sprites or textures as they are called here are limited to a single frame. I've gone through all the help and the built-in documentation and there is no way of adding frames to a texture in the image editor. This alone kills GBG stone dead for me. I'm mind blown that Nintendo can add an image editor but limit you to 1 frame. The mind truly boggles and I'm both pissed off at wasting £30 and disappointed when it looked really fun. Utterly shocking oversight

[@ALONEAGAIN82]

My experience exactly..

[@ohno8025]

Doesn't the fighting game in the trailer have walking animations? (I don't have the game)
