Nice tutorial! In Godot 4 you can have multiple layers in a tilemap, and ysort (and offset) each layer individually. If you think of each layer as a height level, you can quite easily build up the maps and avoid all of these sorting problems and not have to deal with edge cases. In Godot 3 you had to use multiple tilemaps to do this. The only drawback is that this makes drawing the tilemaps more tedious, as you cant save a pattern across multiple layers. You could solve this with a tool script though. In my case, I generate the maps programatically, so it doesn't matter.
Thank you! I've heard layering in Godot 4.0 tilemaps gives even more flexibility for map designs, which is cool. Now that you mentioned the individual sorting/offsetting per layer, I need to go and play around with it a bit :)
Thank you! I have learned mostly by simply making games :) which in the beginning around 1997 was a rocky road of trial&error as there were so few tutorials available. Luckily today thanks to yt/forums/reddit etc. learning to make stuff with Godot has been quite a bit smoother ;)
I feel like it desperately needed a section of going up and down, both with maybe hills as well as the ladder I'm not very fluent with Godot yet, so I can't tell if your method of having the player be able to go around the laddered mountain still allows for climbing said mountain either Perfectly fine if this wasn't within the scope of your project, this still feels like a very good overview on how one would get started
I'm slowly working on a follow up tutorial, which deals with isometric stuff in Godot 4 (setting up tileset, simple character controller and path finding). The mechanic you described would fit in quite well
Yup, a short video on a simple character controller is surely doable. Then again I have at least two devlogs videos in the pipeline to be published :P Probably the fastest way is to publish a simplified Godot project in github and let you mess around with it 😉
It has been FOUR months, and 'centered textures' is already gone. I just want the tiles to work! I started with Game Development Center's tutorial for godot 3.2, but I cannot find a way to import those tiles without doing them all one by one. Ugh!
@@AskEpic ive found godot tutorials to be extremely hard to follow because the software changes so often. Tuts from even a few months ago are no longer valid.
Hi there! Fun fact: I used Godot 4.0 movie maker mode to create those "blueprint" animations in this devlog.
ooo
Your art style and color palette look great! Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked it!
this seems so much easier than the game maker tutorial i was watching, I'll definitely be using Godot for my tactical RPG, thank you so much!!
Love it bro, keep it coming! Thank you thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺
Nice small devlog, it's a bit hard to find isometric tutorials or examples in godot and your is a great one!
Thank you so much! I'm glad if the bits&pieces there do actually help Godoers to create isometric games :)
isometric godot gang!!
Can't wait for your next tut! Nice work!
Thank you! Next one is already in planning, stay tuned!
Cool concept with using Godot 3D functionality to get the objects isometric views!
Glad you like it! I guess with orthographic camera and basic 3d mesh shapes one can even construct a mock-up for an isometric scene.

Great work keep it bro!!!! From South Korea.
Thank you! ☺
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
nice!!!!
thanks for this one tut my man
by the way the latest version of Aseprite has a tilemap feature now
That's right. It's a handy feature to have
does anyone know how to adjust the y sortig for climbin on top of new levels? for example if the tower in this example was an actual jumping puzzle
Awesome video!can i know what tools do you use for the art?
Your content is great to follow.
How did you learn to make games?

Goood

can you make video, how to make running walking with code in godot? and transition change area maps like a video

hey man, what is the canvas size when you draw that isometric tilemap on aseprite? hoping to be answered, thanks
It was 32x32 pixels
It has been FOUR months, and 'centered textures' is already gone. I just want the tiles to work! I started with Game Development Center's tutorial for godot 3.2, but I cannot find a way to import those tiles without doing them all one by one. Ugh!
Tell me about it. I feel like some kind of helper plugin would be helpful here.
Gone as in, they’re removed?
Hey, have you got a link to the 'helper grid'
The one in the video is selfmade, but there are some templates online like this one: opengameart.org/content/isometric-grid-pack
Tilemap is not working and too confusing, going to look else where
i dont have the mode and other options on my tilemap
me either

Now I know why gpt Say me to do the things with a menu that alrdy doesn't exist 🗿
I don't even have option for tile map mode
For anyone else you have to click "tile set" again to get extra options
In this tutorial I still used Godot 3.x. In Godot 4 tile shape property for isometric shape is indeed in the tileset.
i subscribed
You presented it very well. Very clear, I will definitely take your help. 🦾
Cheers! So glad to hear that :)
Awesome video!can i know what tools do you use for the art?
Ty! I use Aseprite for pixelart and Gimp for the rest.
