Godot RPG Tutorial | The Island Ep. 01 | First Map, Player and Project Setup
In this episode of The Island RPG Tutorial Series, we start building our pixel-art RPG in Godot 4 by setting up the project, creating our first map, and adding the player to the scene.
This is the first important step toward building a complete RPG from the ground up.
You will learn how to:
🔹 set up your project in Godot 4
🔹 create your first map
🔹 add the player to the scene
🔹 test collisions and Y-sorting
The main focus of this episode is building the first map and creating the foundation of the world. To make sure everything works properly, we also bring in the player character right away.
This series follows a clear step-by-step structure, and each episode builds directly on the previous one. If you want the full journey, make sure to follow the playlist from the beginning.
