This video deserves a lot more views and likes,
you're helping my dream of making my own game a reality so thank you.

Thank you for this! I've taken countless tutorial lessons and they just blow through the code and don't explain what it does so I don't learn anything but your video was massively informative. I also learned something new with the tile grids.

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm doing a final grade project for a gamedev class and all we've done all classwork in 3D, but I had an idea for a pixel 2D as my final, so I have to desperately catch up on some aspects : D very easy to follow, easy to understand, and you have actually explained the script instead of dumping the whole thing as "just include it, you don't need to know what's going on there" !!

Oh wow, this video gives me such great hope in making a game! I just downloaded unity and had no idea how to start, so you're really making my learning progress easier!

Hello
I like the way you explained everything in your video (since I'm completely new on Unity) . You gave me the help and the motivation to create my own RPG exploration pixel art game.
Thank you!

I actually wanted to make 2D pixel game a long time ago and because of this nice tutorial i can finally do the game. Thanks so much!!

Year and a half later still the best tutorial I've found for setting up 2D. Only things that need additional work are movement script and better layering techniques for lit 2d materials. Good work.

Bless you kind sir, I was getting stuck halfway through my project with no real help online, parts of this video explained sort of what I had to do tho. So thanks!
