Tilemap Tutorial — Create a 2D RPG in Godot 4

Build a complete 2D RPG world in Godot 4 with TileMaps — step-by-step tutorial.

In this video, we cover everything from creating your first TileMap layer and adding terrain sets, to setting up animated tiles, shadows, trees, bushes, and cliffs to create depth and the illusion of 3D. By the end of the video, you’ll have a fully functional, visually engaging RPG map with proper Y-sorting, physics, and collisions - perfect for your Godot 4 projects.

Asset Pack from PixelFrog on Itch.io (this series uses a small set of the free pack): https://pixelfrog-assets.itch.io/tiny-swords

Despite my attempts, I have not been able to arrange a license to redistribute the assets on GitHub. As a result you will have to download the starter kit and asset pack separately. When I'm able to arrange this with PixelFrog in the future, I will update the starter-kit and this description accordingly.
