In this video I go over how I make my artwork for GB Studio.
Everything I use is free, it is all simple software, perfect if you're starting out.
I start by showing you the GB Studio documentation at https://www.gbstudio.dev/docs/backgro...
This is where all the information is on making backgrounds for your game, like the colours you should use, the dimensions and the tile size.
I then show you GIMP, the photo editor I use, find it here at https://www.gimp.org/
I show you how you should set up the file so that you can see the grid.
Then I move onto things you should be thinking about when you are making your artwork, like repeating tiles and starting with simple place holders.
I then show you an example tile sheet that you would then take into Tiled, found here: https://thorbjorn.itch.io/tiled
In Tiled you can easily turn your tile sheets into game maps ready for GB Studio!
I hope you found this tutorial useful. I tried to go over as much as I could so if you're starting out you have an idea of how others make their artwork.
