[--- ABOUT THIS VIDEO ---]
Over the past year or so I've slowly increased my understanding of how to use GameMaker Studio 2 to draw in isometric.
When you only have sprites that are the same size as the grid cells, it's fairly easy to sort everything but that easy sorting needs a lot more work when it comes to objects and sprites that cover multiple cells!
These are my thoughts and findings on a project I'm currently working on and how I managed to think of a way to fix my issue (at 1:30 am in bed, where I do most of my best thinking...)
If you're making your own isometric game or you're just interested in the topic, here are some links to articles and posts that have helped me (or that I at least found interesting):
