Hedgehog goes faster downhill, hedgehog goes slower up hill. It is just like normal physics but one way to remember it is. For now, you will have to imagine the physics work with your tiles.
This is where a lot of the fun and variety of Sonic tile making comes in. We just made a steep slope out of just two tiles. Just looks like a short stumpy slope right? If we were to take this this piece and copy and paste it in diagonal direction. This extends to each corner of the 16x16 tile. To give a good example of what I mean, lets take the first basic slope tile piece. It is VERY important to mention that making an effective tile set is making as few as possible but making them connect in many different ways. You can make these extend as far as you want but Sonic slopes don't typically get any lower than these. As you can see there are varying heights to how high the slopes can go. First off, lets start with the basic slopes. We are going to be breaking these down pieces at a time. For now we will be using black silhouettes to talk about the various slopes and platforms within Sonic.Īs you can already see, I have made a basic set. I will be covering how to fancy up your tile sets and actually making art out of them in the 4th tutorial. This will help divide your pieces evenly. To turn the grid on and off just simply press 'Crtl+H" Now, remember what I said about tiles typically being 16x16? Now you have a grid of even 16x16 boxes. Now under 'View' you will want to go to 'Show>Grid' In preferences you will want to go to 'Guides, Grid and Slices.' In this pop up you will want to change the grid section to 16 pixels with one subdivision.Īlright so far so good. It can be in different places in different versions, but you are going to want to find Preferences.
Maybe 900x900 pixels, just to give us some space. Make a new canvas for yourself, any size will do but lets do something large and basic. Sometimes we have to also imagine there are 8x8 pieces present within the 16x16) In order to start, we are going to want to open up Photoshop. Typically, those piece are in digital 16x16 pieces (sometimes 8x8 for more accurate preciseness.
Most if not all true 2D games use title sets and Sonic is no different. Making a tile set would be drawing a picture out of one piece at a time. However, each peice is the same shape and size. What is a tile set you may be asking? In short, you could visualize tile sets as a bunch of puzzle pieces. In this tutorial you will learn how to make the basic tile's that are used in 2D styled Sonic games, in this case so we can make custom levels in Mania. Slopes have played a big part in Sonic ever since his conception.
