Intro to TileMapLayer

Meet Godot 4's TileMapLayer and the modern node-per-layer approach to building 2D worlds.

Building Your First Tileset

Slice a tilesheet into a TileSet resource and paint your very first room.

Terrain & Autotiling

Set up terrain sets so walls, paths, and water connect themselves as you paint.

Collision Layers on Tiles

Add physics collision to tiles so the player can't walk through walls.

Y-Sort for Top-Down Depth

Use Y-sorting so the player correctly walks behind and in front of objects.

Layered Maps: Ground, Walls & Props

Stack ground, wall, and prop layers to compose rich, readable scenes.

Room & Scene Transitions

Move the player between rooms with clean, reliable scene transitions.

Spawn Points & Doorways

Place spawn markers and doorways so the player always arrives in the right spot.

Designing the Overworld

Lay out a connected overworld and dungeons the player can explore.

Is This Quest For You?

Perfect for you if:

You can move a character and now want a world to move them through
You're building a top-down RPG, adventure, or dungeon crawler
You want maintainable, layered level design
You enjoy watching a world come together tile by tile

Not for you if:

You haven't built a 2D player controller yet
You only want 3D level design
You want a pre-made map with no building involved
You'd rather skip all scene and structure work
