i found your channel yesterday and got aseprite and the timing of this video couldn't be more perfect for me, its exactly what i need, thanks
I found myself working in a gold mine, far behind the polar circle in Russia.
And that's a time when I've started to binge watch Adam's videos whenever I have some free time. Thank you, pal. Please continue!
Ничего себе
I've had this on my watch later for 2 months, and after finally watching it. I have no regrets!!! I'll put everything to practice and make my own. Thanks a lot!
Amazing video! Appreciate you showing your personal workflow, and not just "Wow, Aseprite 1.3 now have tilemap system, you can draw little squares and they will update automatically!"
This was amazing, I would love a tileset video on top down perspective :)
I am highly thankful to you big brother. New in game dev and programming.
When I started I literally had no idea how to do pixel art for games and how to manage asset size until and unles I saw your Canvas size video. Thank you for telling me basics.
Stumbling upon your videos is what made me wanna get into pixel-art(I've always liked it tho) and I'm so happy you're so close to releasing your big project! I'm so thankfull for your videos
Yay! I've been using ur tileset workflow for a long time, excited to see how you revisit it :)
my god your pixel art is jaw droppingly beautiful.. cant wait for your game release
Your tutorials are insanely helpful. Thank you so much for all the help with this, i've picked up so many techniques from your tips it's unreal!
Wow this is so helpful I always struggle with making tileset, this is help me a lot thank you!!
Such a great guy who shares his workflow. If you are in the industry you may as well know the workflow is everything. Big kudos and very well appreciated man. Keep it up.
Your videos have been so helpful. Thanks for posting.
awesome video! I really respect how you just start with a weird red colored cube and change it to a buetifull tileset!
Snowverhang haha! That was good Adam! Excellent workflow example. I have struggled to make my own tilesets due to the lack of repeating tiles and not really being able to get good visual feedback. This will really help with those issues. Thanks for all you do.
The face at 20:21 is precious
Congrats on Insignia's progress so far!
I really appreciate your videos!
CZcams gamedev is filled with surface level tutorials that show you how to get something working in a sample scene but never go beyond that with information that would help with using it in a real game.
These workflow videos on "How I use x feature in a real game" are very high quality and rare. Getting "something" working is the easy part. Making it "complete" is the hard part. That's why people say "The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time"
To be fair, if I were to really take this as far as I would in a real scenario it might have been a seven hour video haha. Professional game dev is time consuming!
@@AdamCYounis7 hour video in the future?
Golly, those tiles are gorgeous
awesome as always
totally getting aseprite for xmas.. best ad ever :)
That tile set looks so good
The tilemap tool is crazy
Awesome, thank you!
This is extremely cool
I love how you are playing tunes from Stardew Valley, sounds vary similar but different :D
I know you were annoyed by the tilemap in Godot - in the new 4.2 release they have the sprite flipping and rotation, including when you have grouped tiles
Thanks this helps a lot
Snowerhang. SNOWERHANG! alright, I'm dead 😅😂😂😂
Thank you for these videos, I've been practicing thanks to them. I was wondering if you could please do an updated video on the Tiled workflow too since it is now a bit different? Thanks!
I love this guy
extremely helpful，thx
I can't thanks enough for this explanation, not only how to use aseprite, but also your work process. I've made my tileset and for the first time i'm super happy with it. Can i send it to you if you want to take a look. Again thanks!
Coollll!!!😄
This is great
yay~~~ its been a long time~
Time to go update. didnt realize it came out of beta. been loving the tilemap feature of the beta
wow aseprite 1.3 I have to check it out. I am _very_ interested in tilemaps workflow, I do not use Unity, having my own engine, I hope I can build a good new workflow for it. Thanks for the headsup!
This update seems super useful! Do you know if this can also handle isometric tilesets? I've been working on one for a little while now and having it be organized within a set like this would be very helpful.
could you make a follow up showing your workflow in the tiled part of the process?
Hi Adam, thank you for all your content, how can we get your palettes? :)
God i am so fucking Jealous. Your art is soooo nice man! love it ;D
The Bob Ross of Aseprite
Hey! Thx for your guides! Can this tilemaps used for isometric?
Bob Ross of pixel art right here
Have you ever tried using the parallax effect in your character designs to give them a 3D effect?
Your hair looks nice in this vid
What I'm wanting to know is the workflow of making a background for a game level or title screen illustration and converting that to tile maps.... I'm totally onboard with doing this for level design but curious about the other things that tile maps can be used for
Correct me if i'm wrong or misunderstood you, but since you're not interacting directly with the background, you won't have the need to turn into a tilemap (since it doesn't need coliders and stuff), but i think if you need some similar shapes in the background you can just copy paste some ramdom prototype form of the tilemap in a few layers and shift the palette to blend well with the level that you want, also keep in mind that, depending on the complexity of the tilemap, this works better with more symmetrical and artificial layouts.
I better see some snowverhangs when the game comes out!
This was awesome! Please, please, can we see the next step - export and import into the engine 🌸 How do you place the tiles, do they import in the right flow, or in bits and pieces, and how do you know which connects to which, since they are a bit more painterly? Thanks so much!
Afaik, he actually builds the levels with Tiled. It's a free tilemap editor that's a bit more comfortable and powerful than Unity's. Then there's a package called SuperTiled2Unity, which can import .tmx files from Tiled directly into Unity's Tilemap Renderer System.
I use the same for an isometric game. I'd say, once you're set up, it's easier to get good results than with just Unity. And not only that, it scales very well. You can even paint over the whole tilemap sprite in Aseprite again and have a totally untiled tilemap. 😅
@@JanTGTX Thank you, that sounds awesome, I’ll definitely look into it!
Tiled also supports godot. And godot > unity ;3
impressive very nice.
let's see paul allen's tile system
Hey dude, I just started doing some pixelart for my games and you are quite the inspiration and help to me. Do you have any recommendation for a good pen tablet I should buy for drawing?
Wacom Intuos Small is a great entry level tablet, I use it every day.
Do you have a link to your palette you are using please, I just started learning pixel art myself and I suck building my own at the moment
It's funny. I've been using this during most of its beta period. I dont think i experienced any bugs at all despite its beta label. Glad it's official now though
looks too cool.
If I have an old version of aseprite. Do I have to buy the new one?
I noticed despite you having a 16x16 art the initial sprite was a lot bigger than that image? Is this necessary so the tilemap will give more tiles? Why do you make your sprite with such large resolutions compared to the finished sprite.
Mostly to give myself room to add more tiles later
Recently found your channel and loving your work. Very insightful tutorials. What program are you using for your pixel art and animation?
im a bit confused on your export, since your tiles are not being restricted to the grid they are overflowing, importing this into an editor would create several tiles that dont fit into the auto-tile logic. how do you handle this part? or are you manually adding these?
I use Tiled for handling my auto-mapping logic. I don't recommend using Unity's built-in solution for more serious tilesets.
hello adam, what graphics tablet do you use?
I use the small wired version of the Wacom Intuos series. Previously used the Intuos Pro but never really needed the extra buttons or size. Small suits me just fine.
OMG dark theme
Hello Adam. Is your 2015 Tiled training content still relevant in 2023, with concerns to Aseprite 1.3 and Godot 4.2?
Hey, maybe you're thinking of 2019? I didn't have a channel in 2015, my earliest content may not be up to date but I do have more recent videos on Tiled
anyone know the dimensions of his document at the start that he put the tilemap into?
Please make the Godot animation player improvement video you teased earlier! :)
Can you teach how make sprites like used in tibia?
Anyone know if this can work for isometric tiles?
can anyone explain what is the tilemap rules?
Does someone have a reference to his color palette?
how did you make your aseprite ui thingy black istead of white
should have waited 10 more seconds before asking
youtube algo please let even more people see this video
I'm revisiting my workflow too. Hard not to with the update
can you please make a tutorial of a capoeira character pixel animation, 64 px pls ?
Snow-verhang... he he he
I could use a little more 'art class territory' tbh, haha
With the M3 MAX Chip on Apple, do you still bealive that its a MUST to have a Windows? Please don't hate, it's just that I come from a design background and all my equipment is from Apple. But I'd love to become a game dev. so I really need help :( with it. I've read a lot of comments that now 2024 apple is gonna be more focused on 3D projects etc
I don't think there's an issue using a Mac for indie game dev.
@@AdamCYounis woooooo thank you so much for replying 🥺 I really appreciate, I admire you since day one and it’s unbelievable that you answered me! Thanks!!!!
+algorithm comment
If I compiled an older version (for getting asepitte for free), do I need to redo it again for the new release?
lmao gotem
Snowverhang 😂
GIVE ME YOUR PALETTES
With how long Aseprite's 1.3 beta has been in development for, I feel disappointed in lack of Isometric tilemap support (unless I can't find it). Workflow for one that would look good is already complicated as it is.
AI got nothing on Adam tilesets 😅
