Create Tile in Unity 2019.2.9f1 - Ruby's Adventure 2D: Beginner

Hello,
The instructions for Ruby’s Adventure 2D Beginner
(using Unity 2019.2.9f2) say:

Create a New Tile
The Tilemap doesn’t directly use Sprites, it uses Tiles. To create a new Tile:

  1. In the Project window, go to Assets > Art.

  2. Right-click within the folder and select Create > Folder. Call your new folder “Tiles”.

  3. Double-click Tiles to open the folder.

  4. Right-click within the folder and select Create > Tile. In the dialog box, call this Tile “FirstTile” and save it.

***When I right-click and select Create>Tile, I can not find “Tile” in the menu. The instructions show “Tile” after “Sprites”. I don’t see “Tile” in my menu.

This should be stickied somewhere.

  • go to Window/Package Manager,
  • install 2D Tilemap,

then you’ll find Tile.

You should also have asked this in the dedicated thread for Ruby’s Adventure: Ruby’s Adventure: 2d Beginner Official Thread

I really hate when you leave out important details. ESPECIALLY IN A BEGINNERS TUTORIAL!!!

It’s already installed but still not working. I’m about ready to give up on another tutorial. It’s a shame that youtube offers better quality tutorials than you. I’ve lost interest in this one like many others

Had same problem. when you get to this point
“***When I right-click and select Create>Tile, I can not find “Tile” in the menu. The instructions show “Tile” after “Sprites”. I don’t see “Tile” in my menu.”
Create>2D>Tile Palette>Rectangular
From here if you already saved the tile.png to your folder you might have issues getting it to work. for me I had to change the texture type to "Sprite (2D and UI). Then when I tried to drag the tile into the “Tile Palette” it showed "No items match your search. While in this window create a file name for your tile and click save. it should create a new tile that you can now drag into the “Tile Palette”.
Late reply but hopefully you/somebody finds this helpful.
Also make sure your project is in 2d. Edit>Project Settings>Editor - Default Behaviour Mode = 2D

Yeah I noticed that as well when I tried the tutorial, no “Tile” option, I’ll have another go at some point.
