oh no need to make a video for little old me! what was your process? I don't mind doing the work, I am just vexed by MV's tileset limitations (i'm used to working with tilesets in Godot which has been much more flexible in my experience)
So, it's actually quite simple: I use a program called LibreSprite. It’s open-source and free. You can download it here: https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite?tab=readme-ov-file.
Once you have installed the program, you can open a sample spritesheet. I’m not sure how it works in Godot, but in RPG Maker, I copied the example tileset and opened it in the program. Keep in mind that RPG Maker uses a 48x48 grid.
Then, I opened the city tileset in another window, copied the buildings I needed, and pasted them into the previously emptied example sheet.
In RPG Maker, the image is split in the middle, and the right half is placed below the left half. I’m not sure how it works in Godot.
If you have any questions, I have sent you a friend request—feel free to send me a message.
I apologize for the delay; I was very busy.
On the other hand, you’ve made me curious: What kind of game are you developing? (You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but I’d love to know!)
I wish you lots of fun with your project!
thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond with such good advice, I'll check out LibreSprite next time I have some time to tinker!
This project is a small-scale RPG that takes place in a few city blocks, with a heavy focus on social interactions and hanging out with your party members. It's heavily inspired by Yakuza Like a Dragon and how much I loved the party chat dynamic in that game. I've been designing it for a while and have made a few prototypes in Godot, but ultimately decided to go the RPG Maker route since I'd rather be prototyping other kinds of projects while focusing more on writing and content generation for this one. Thanks for asking! What kind of project did you use this tileset for?
That sounds like an interesting game; I will try it out as soon as it is released. I am currently making a game with RPG Maker. I was inspired by the anime "Darling in the Franxx" and "Undertale." The player takes on the role of two characters. I change the story quite often because I come up with better ideas. However, it will take place in a futuristic world. I will use the add-on for the city where the game is set. The player must navigate through the city with both characters to complete missions. The game itself will have a playtime of about three hours, but I plan to give the player many choices, unlocking different endings each time, similar to "The Stanley Parable." There will be good, bad, and mediocre endings. Additionally, there will be many Easter eggs in the game. For example, it will be possible to find the so-called Developer Room, where you can talk to a representation of myself. Each side character will also have their own subplot that can be accessed throughout the various endings. Furthermore, each playthrough will be slightly different. Thank you for telling me about your game. We can help each other out in the future. Please send me an email. My development address is: dr.zero_developer@icloud.com
