These isometric cells seem to be rectangular but their width is actually double their height.įrom the file system view, drag es (from the isometric sample game) into the TileMap 'tiles' property I also need to select the correct cell size. I can choose my tileset by dragging it and dropping it into the Inspector panel. Let's create an isometric TileMap node as a child of the Arena node.Ĭreate TileMap child node (set position at 900x500) There's a good tutorial on how to build your own tileset on the Godot engine website, but in the interest of time I'm going to use the tileset from the Isometric game sample project that comes with Godot. To make the background for the game I'm going to use a tileset that I'm going to organise into an open space surrounded by walls. This will have a number of implications, but I like the feeling of depth in isometric games even though we're actually still in 2D. The reason I'm not going to use custom art for now is that the stuff that comes with Godot is fine for what I want to work on first, namely core game mechanics.Ĭyberglads is going to be an isometric game, or at least that's what I'm shooting for at the moment. And you are going to need a lot of that imagination because in the beginning we're just going to use stock art that comes with Godot and doesn't look anything like a collosseum! You can imagine a roman-style collosseum with gladiators fighting for dear life in front of a throng of enthralled spectators. Set Arena as main scene in Project Settings > Run > Main Scene Let's start by creating the Arena scene and saving it as a packed scene to make it ready for instanciation at a moment's notice.Ĭreate new scene using the + sign: Arena (Node2D) and save it in the Scenes folder As we'll see this is a very convenient way to organise your game's architecture. Godot is organised around Scenes, which work like a node tree. ![]() I've created a fresh project in Godot engine, and to get started I need to add my first scene. I want to guide you through all the trials and tribulations, the decision making around high-level game design but also about the nitty gritty, all the different tools and technology and the creative process around building a fully fledged game.Ĭyberglads will be a real time gladiator-type combat game where players face off against NPCs or against each other in tightly balanced encounters. I want to take you through the whole journey of building a game. These will all get you familiar with the engine so that you are able to get started on your own project, but my objective here is a little different. ![]() There's also an excellent new Udemy course called Discovering Godot - Make Games in Python-like GDScript by and Mike from Game From Scratch also has some good tutorials on Godot. This won't be a Godot tutorial exactly there are much better resources out there like GDquest. That's exactly what I'm going to do to kickstart Cyberglads. I'm building a game called Cyberglads using the Godot game engine.īuilding a game can be a daunting process if you don't know where to start, but thankfully Godot is easy to get into and there are tutorials that you can use as an initial scaffold for your project. Welcome to this second episode in the Making Cyberglads series. ![]() It's the second part of a series on game development where I'll be building an entire game step by step and sharing the process in public. This is a lightly edited transcript of the above Youtube video.
