Hey everyone !

In this tutorial, I'll show you how I setup godot 3.4 for the LOWREZJAM (or any pixel art project really). Feel free to download the godot project template on github to directly have everything setup in one click !

Tutorial

1. Create your project (Opengl ES 2 is recommended as renderer).
2. Open project settings .
3. Change your resolution (Display/Window/height and Display/Window/width) to 64x64.
4. Change your test resolution (Display/Window/test height and Display/Window/test width) to 640x640.
5. Change Display/Window/Stretch/Mode to viewport.
6. Change Display/Window/Stretch/Aspect to keep.
7. Toggle On Rendering/2d/Snapping/Use GPU pixel snap.
8. Make sure Snap To Grid is enabled in the editor scene preview.
9. Import an image into godot.
10. With the image selected, open the import tab, click on preset and select 2d pixel.
11. With the image selected, open the import tab, click on preset and select Set as Default for 'texture'.

Note : Keep in mind that you should toggle off the centered attribute to avoid problems in the case of sprites having odd dimensions.

Also try to always use integer values for the sprites positions.

And you're done !

Optional Feature Profile

You can create an editor features profile to hide everything related to 3D from the godot editor (included in the project template).

Some useful assets to get started

A small pixel font from the tic-80. The template project has a theme using it.
