pixels + progress: introduction to tilemapping

Want to create your first sprites?

In today’s pixels + progress episode, we are going over tile maps and introducing how developers use them to build expansive 2D worlds.

For the longest time, I was scared to create art or environments for my projects because I didn’t know how to draw in the most traditional sense. The tile mapping world made me feel like cool amazing art could be achieved without having to be able to design every little thing. Utilizing tile maps is a method that can forever expand your world-building through the use of reusing!

Follow me this week as I build some sprites for my game, Dimensio, let’s build our first sprites this week. Using Tiled and other pixel art tools I am learning how to begin to create the art style I want for this game!
