awesome video dude. I just bought asesprite today and am testing out diffferent tilemap variations and this helps a ton with understanding how they work. You got a new sub :)
As someone whose drawing skills is limited to stick figures this is the best tutorial i have watched so far. Any tips for shading and highligiting? my drawings does seem to have depth but colours seems slighly off or not as blended.
thanks so much! as far as shading and highlights go, i’ve always found with pixel art or any kind of cell shading that more contrast in your colors (even shades and highlights) tends to look better. sometimes people assume that you need to use a similar but slightly darker tones to shade your art, but i think using more varied colors makes things really pop! for example, instead of shading an orange ball with a darker orange, use a red or purple! hope this makes sense :)
also worth noting that you can shift your colors depending on what you need. so when you want a darker shade, shift towards the cool colors like blue or purple. if you want to highlight, shift towards warm colors like yellow or orange
It’s definitely possible in RPG Maker, but I also have a feeling it would be pretty difficult to pull off. You’ll probably need to create your own isometric system in code to support it unfortunately
Isometric is a very strange thing with RPG Maker & the general consensus is to just avoid it because of how the grid works Regardless of MV, MZ etc… There is a plug-in for isometric projects but last I checked it wasn’t fully functional… However, you might be able to get away with just making whatever map art you want first & then add the game logic + collision detection around it all 🤷♂️
Hey, I found your channel because I want to make my first game in this style, and which canvas size should I use for isometric art, or what size are you using for isometric? I don’t know whether to use 16x16 or 256x256. I’m very new to pixel art and isometric art; I just started this month with pixel art in this style. I’ve made some pixel art before, but it was for a Minecraft texture pack, and the things I made weren’t very big or complicated. And for the game i wont some texture to be more detailed.
My main worry about making a 2D isometric game is creating all the artwork, then finding out the grid is set at a slightly different angle and I have to redraw everything. Or do I set the grid to my artwork? How do I know what height/width, ange etc to draw at?! Thank you!
You can set the grid to your artwork :) I always recommend making a simple test tileset to see if it works in the game engine, just make plain old tiles with no details to see if everything matches up and then you can use that as a template later!
Great video! For anyone who wonders these two examples are called dimetric. Then you also have trimetric in which all of the angles are different
Thanks for uploading this dude, I never would have attempted this otherwise.. Love the building block examples you showed, appreciate ya as always 👏
Great video. I was following a long in Aseprite and it came out pretty well 😊

Brilliant video! I love seeing what people can make in isometric worlds.
Awesome quality explanation video as always Apox Fox 🙌😎
Man your videos are helpful I'm adding them to my playlist
great tutorial, straightfoward and simple to follow. thank you.
Awesome video this helped me a lot! earned a sub!

@@apoxfox ohhh thanks for the tips! Yup they make sense!
Dude, this is crazy! Like my brain was actually scratching itself. Do you think this would work in RPG Maker?

Super cool video, thank you mate! Is the game you are making already available ?
@@karmakunh552 thanks man! Not yet available but I’ll have some updates soon in videos to come :) I’m hoping to have a demo ready next year
This reminds me of AdamCYounis
That’s so nice, I love Adam’s videos!
please make more videos, the ones Im watching are either made 3 years ago or have not uploadedany new videos for the past 3 years
i post new game dev vids every month!

These isometric block tiles I made are 32x32. Start with one block and build everything else around that. Hope this helps
@@apoxfox Thanks you, it helps me a lot

@@apoxfox Thank you so much!
is it aseprite?
OR Make it in Asprite and then test it in Tiled, No engine required
is it aseprite?
