I can explain how the lilypad tile works. But - you can change the opacity of layers in Pyxel Edit by clicking the cogwheel and lowering its Alpha hope that helps! I'm looking through the RTP but I'm not quite sure. Which autotiles are transparent? XD Hahaha sorry. The edges are really hard but I was just experimenting to see how it worked.Р”Р„s for your 2nd question, I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't played around with animation but in RPG Maker, it's the format in the tilesheet that matters! I believe it's done through layers, but I'm not sure how it works with tiles yet. There's also a way to animate with Pyxel Edit. Then go into Pyxel Edit, move the white swirls around, and then bring thatР’В in as a 2nd frame immediately next to your first in the tilesheet. So to animate that water, use what you have right now for the top left corner of the A1 tilesheet. Each of those is a frame in a 3-frame animation.

A2 is what is above, and A1 is similar, but repeats 3 times horizontally (check out the RTP tileset to see what I mean). Unless that's the look you're going for!Р”Р„s for animating the water tiles, that's in A1. I think the dirt looks awesome! Maybe mess with the edges a bit more (where I have the grass) to bring in some of that outside brown you have, and blend it in so it's not a hard edge. I think they'd be the same concept but with a transparent background? That way you can have a normal water tile, and then a lily tile I might have to figure that out later! You've inspired me haha. There's a lilypad autotile actually, in A1, but I haven't figured those out yet. Make it 4x4 tiles wide, with 24x24 great job!! That looks lovely! I freakin love your lilypads. It might look really odd with the default resources otherwise. If you make these autotiles, you should devote yourself to making matching pixel tiles. I'm hoping a true artist will be able to view this post, learn something, and then make some awesome tiles!Р”Р„nother important note - this is only for pixel art! Pyxel Edit won't give you the 'painted look' RPG Maker uses without some immense effort on your part. I'm just good at figuring out how programs work. I want everyone to know that I am not an artist! I mean, look at that grass up there! So bad! Hahaha. This tutorial is going to use Pyxel Edit specifically. Looking online, there are lots of ways to get the seamless tiles to look nice. And they are all seamless with one another! Crazy! The pink 24x48 and 48x24 tiles are also repeating. The 48x48 tile highlighted in blue is the 'main' repeating tile. The topР’В tiles areР’В made up of four 24x24 corner tiles. It's split up into 24x24 tiles instead of 48x48.

Basically, it's like this: (to my understanding) I only understood it by actually scrutizing the default RTP.

I read the documentation on it, and it was still kinda confusing. It uses a combination of 48x48 with 24x24 to get them to work. You'll be able to use this technique for almost all of the autotiles, however, such as water and walls!Р”Р„utotiles are kinda tricky in RPG Maker. I don't believe the format for autotiles is the same for earlier versions of RPG Maker? I wanted to make a YouTube video for my channel instead, but my husband is watching DragonBall Super in the background, and I wouldn't have been able to record If you'd rather me make a video for it, I'll try to find time! Hopefully loading these images don't break your computer. It might not be perfect but it works for me!Р’В This is a very picture heavyР’В tutorial. There were no tutorials out there so I went and figured it out myself!Р”Р„fter muchР’В trial and error, this is what I came up with.

I really loved Pyxel Edit's tileset feature, and while I'm making my own game in RPG Maker, I wanted to know how to use Pyxel Edit for autotiles. I ended up buying the bundle, which included programs like Pyxel Edit and Spriter Pro. A few weeks ago there was an Indie Game Dev Humble Bundle Sale where they sold a few awesome development tools for $1.
