Adding Foreground and Background Layers to Tilemaps: Action RPG in Unity Tutorial #4
Adding layers to our tilemaps can give the illusion of depth, making our world feel more alive. But keeping things organized can sometimes get a little tricky. In this video, we'll look at a simple way to set up tiles so the player can move in front of some objects and disappear behind others.
This video works as a standalone tutorial, but it is also part of a beginner-friendly series where we create an Action RPG in the style of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Next time we'll look at how to add elevation with climbable mountains.
