HOW TO MAKE A 2D TOP-DOWN RPG IN UNITY 2023 - TUTORIAL #01 - BASIC WORLDBUILDING

This Unity 2D Tutorial will cover how to use Unity's tilemap system to make a simple level for use in our 2D Top-Down Pixel Art style RPG.

▬▬ι═══════ﺤ Tutorial Series Overview -═══════ι▬▬
In this Unity tutorial series we'll be crafting a cosy pixel art 2D top-down RPG reminiscent of games like Stardew Valley, Forager and the Zelda series. We'll explore building out a game world, making a compelling player character and then bringing the game to life with NPCs, Quests, Crafting and much more!
These tutorials are aimed at gameDevs of all skills levels! If you're just starting out I'll bring you up to speed with good practice & cover core concepts to build your skills. If you're already well versed in the craft I'll be providing lots of tips and tricks to speedup workflows and to create modular reusable systems as well as sharing my game design insights along the way.
Each tutorial will be unique and largely self contained, feel free to make suggestions in the comments and I'll try to cover those topics in future videos!

Nice tutorial Soundy! Next episode you will just have to talk about tilemaps extra features like animation, rules, and other options you can do with tilemap

[NAPAJRI]

Mate, I hope that your tut's will help me. Im new in game dev and trying to create game by learning. Didn't found any useful course that can help me. 
Also, can I know, it will be turn-based game or more like mmorpg?

Good luck with series!

[EfeErdems]

I wish you showed me how to make sea animation :( But nice video waiting for the next

[AgentCryo]

Nice im probaly going to use this some day but you are a bit quiet

[chrispy]

my camera isn't aligned with my grid like you have and I followed your steps exactly. Any advice? (I'm brand new)

[paprika]

Hi! Really nice tutorial!
Btw when I make de "Tiles" (10:05) Instead of showing me an image similar to the Sprite in the "Tile Palette" section, is showing me everything 1x1 size :( someone knows why this may happen?

[Shadzen]

14:45 can't find this icon (tile grid view?)

[SrNeper]

Muito bom, vou seguir!

Obs. Recentemente eu pensei em um projeto em que os monstros não só atacam o jogador, mas disputam entre si pelo território e os seus recursos, acumulando XP e evoluindo ao ponto de se tornarem mine chefes e ameaçarem as cidades/jogadores da região. Vou tentar implementar isso em cima desse projeto de rpg top down.

I was losing my mind because my path kept being covered by the ground layer then I watched and the layer order fixed it

I would have jumped on this tutorial about a month ago but since switching to Godot and finally enjoying game development I've uninstalled Unity! My advice for a newbie choosing an engine and deciding on Unity or Godot then trust me, Godot wins hands down.

Why you often lower your voice at the end of each sentence T_T
I can't hear what you're saying.
It's difficult for a non English native to understand.
