2D game with top view

Unity Engine
1

Yep !

Web developer for several years, I want to develop a game with unity, this platform (linked to steam) is still quite nice :wink:

The game will be a 2D game (2D normal to begin with, I think change 2D iso or hexa though I have experience) with top view. The player moving box by box and each box there will be a number of action possible.

I have developed this kind of game web version (without unity) but now I’m a bit headed.

Where to start? :slight_smile: I’m looking for tutorials everywhere, but everything about the 2D oriented 2D platform, I can not find anything about a game in 2D top view (I guess it’s still essentially the same thing but if I can find directly targeted tutorial …;))

Could you refer me? Where to start for a game like this? Do you know of tutorials that could match? Well damn assets? (same for the asset, I’m searching, I find only 2D platform).

I know it’s a noob question, but i just need help for start. How can i generate a 2D tile map from a file (json maybe) ? And other question like that…

Thank you in advance :wink:

Whether you design it to look and behave like it’s top-view or not doesn’t actually have any real connection to whether you create your game world looking down from above in 3D space, or looking at it from the side in 2D space. The simplest way to get your head around it is just to do it as looking down from above I guess, and position the camera above the scene pointing at the floor, then add your objects in the X-Z plane (on the ground facing up).
