As someone who draws every single environment map of my game from scratch I'm getting pretty fed up of this method I used for several month now...Thank you for this awsome video ! 😁
This is a solid video! Even as someone that understands tile sets, I did learn a thing or two. Props on the Katana Zero and original Wonka references. 🙂
Thanks for the suggestion, I have tried it before but it still zooms in the preview window for some reason. Maybe there’s an extension that stops that?
7:14 That window on the left and middle, the one that shows individual sprites and lets you copy/paste them elsewhere so you can draw other sprites next to them? What's it called again and how can you pull it up? I found out about it a while ago but I went to learn programming for a while and forgot.
That’s the tile palette window, you can see it by right clicking on a layer and making a “new tilemap layer”. This may just be in the experimental beta version of aseprite just a heads up
Excuse me, at 0:07 how do you place your tiles like that? Cuz im used to just selecting the tiles and placing them one by one. If theres a quicker way, pls tell me :)
i'm no expert but ill try to explain: you have to create a tilemap layer (it was only available in the beta version of aseprite, i dont know if its still like that. but you'd have to go on Layer -> New -> New Tilemap Layer, or press Space key+N). new options will be available for that type of layer, there you can create or modify tiles, as well as place them as if you were using a brush. so you select the tile you want to place, click and drag around the screen as if you were painting
@apoxfox i mean like as far as the resolution .. like how many pixels fit on a computer screen at once.. so if the camera is centered on the player how many other tiles are visible on screen if the screen is still? I feel like I'm asking my question in a confusing way I'm sorry I'm still learnong
@@Serendipity_GamingX no worries at all! But genuinely the only answer I can give is that there is no right answer haha. It depends on how big you want the pixels to be in the screen, how far the camera is zoomed out, what the aspect ratio of your game is and most importantly how big you want your levels to be. Some games cameras move, some stay still and I could go on. I’m sorry if this isn’t helpful but every game is different so it’s impossible to give a solid answer for canvas size. The good news is that there are no rules, so just play around with it and see what works best for you!
if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing, but its just 20 bucks so up to you including this video ppl use "aseprite" there is free version of it called "libresprite"
Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself. There are a number of videos out there as well as a written guide on aseprite's github separated by what operating system you use.

To avoid zooming every time, there is a preview window, which can be called up with the F7 hotkey or in the View -> Preview menu.

@@BiancaLP00 yeah, i see what you mean. Thanks for the help!
@ you’re welcome! I’m glad I could help :)
i subbed when you said "pizzazz"
Thanks. I want to make a game but I suck at art. I do believe I can make something with this walkthrough
Great tutorial for beginners!
in the Asesprite, how did you put in the left, between the color palet and the sample that box, and put the sprite in it?
I’m not sure if this is still the case, but if you use experimental mode in aseprite you can use tilemap layers
can you tell me what your using to make the tileset??
aseprite
If the tile sets and character is 16 by 16 eaxh how big is the whole canvas with the whole map is there a standard
There’s no standard for that, it really just depends on the game you’re making and how big you want your level to be

What website/software do you use for your moodboards?
Looks like it is Milanote
Is it possible that you know of any free tile set applications
if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing, but its just 20 bucks so up to you including this video ppl use "aseprite" there is free version of it called "libresprite"
You can either build Aseprite yourself from source code for free (if you know how/follow a tutorial), or use something like Gimp.
Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself. There are a number of videos out there as well as a written guide on aseprite's github separated by what operating system you use.
You can make them in most art tools technically. You can do it gimp… I think
Dotpict and pixel studio are great free options
What website or software do you use for your mood boards? Thanks :)
It’s called Milanote! I recommend trying the free trial version to see if you like it
what is the software you used to create tile set ?
It’s called Aseprite on Steam!
@@apoxfox There's also a free counterpart called LibreSprite as well.
does anyone know what software he uses to draw ?
It’s called Aseprite!
@@apoxfox thank u sm!!!
0:47 what’s this game 😮
katana zero
thx
