I'm new to Godot and I'd like to make a game with 2d isometric graphics. There are lots of tutorials on using tilesets, but every one I've seen so far uses one image per one tile (even if they're put together in one large spritesheet) like so:
This is problematic if I want to have lots of variation in my base shape, like different egdes and corners and so on. What I'd like to achieve is to have to draw just parts of the blocks and put them together to form a tile in the editor, like so:
This way I only need to modify the specific sub-tiles if i want to change, for example, the look of grass on top, and it will propagate to all tiles with grass on top. I know about tile patterns in Godot, but they seem to be something else. I want to take the triangular patches from my spritesheet and compose the tiles out of them. Is it possible in Godot?

Hi all, I've made some more progress on my game about the 12 Greek Olympian gods! If you didn't know, this is a game where the player (a humble little duck) has to traverse the realms of the gods by solving puzzles and platforming. The aim is to help Prometheus (the Titan who stole fire from the gods) find each god and take their power for the humans (e.g. mastery of the seas from Poseidon). The first part will be on Dionysus, the god of wine.
I've added more dialogue and proper dialogue avatars (incl. different expressions!) for the duck, Prometheus, as well as the four winds. See here:
Duck: "W-Where am I? What is this place?"
Prometheus (beautiful orange hair + beard): "By harnessing the power of the Anemoi, the four winds, you can control air itself to eliminate obstacles in your adventure."
Prometheus: "This allows you to lower the sea level to create a path forward. Not parting the seas, that's Moses's thing."
Narrator (eye donut thing): "Humans do not listen to orders. They are violent, arrogant, and greedy. Ducks, on the other hand, are quite the opposite. "
Notus (the coolest embodiment of wind): "A civil dispute, that's all! We're not little kids! We're the embodiments of the winds! We are much more mature than that."
Eurus (the wind of storm): "It is funny to me. Haha! See, I'm laughing! Hahaha!" (note that this screenshot doesn't have the parallax background)
If you haven't noticed already, there's also lighting now! Wine glasses glow red, while totems glow their respective colours (white = the winds, orange = Helios, the sun god, blue = Achelous, the river god)
There's also a scrolling parallax background (using the "ParallaxBackground" node) that may as well have been made with paint. I've tried my best to give them at least a tiny bit of depth, but in the end I just made them very dark so it's harder to see the lack of detail.
Aside from these aesthetic changes, I've also made some more levels! These first few will be about meeting the four winds:
Boreas, the north wind and bringer of cold winter air, can freeze things (e.g. flowing wine). This freezing effect doesn't last very long though, so you need to be very quick and can't stand still for very long!
Zephyrus and Notus have an interesting duality. The former is the west wind, kind and gentle. Due to his connection with springtime and flowers, he can grow seeds to become big plants and can also move delicate flowers around. The latter is the self-proclaimed coolest embodiment of the wind. He brings hot summer air and has the power to decay plants. He really likes killing plants. These two get into a fight over whether to kill a big plant blocking the player's way.
Finally, there is Eurus, the east wind and the wind of storm. According to a Wikipedia article I read, he was revered as the "saviour of Sparta". No idea if that's accurate or not. Under-represented in Greek mythology with little to none of his own, Eurus is easily irritated. When the player complements him in the start of his level, he believes that the player is being deceptive and actually mocking him, and creates a storm to punish him.
I've also experimented with particles to show the wind and rain for the Eurus level, lmk what you think of it!
I've also added some dialogue on death, with different ones depending on how many times you've died (you get some tips on how to complete the level in the first 1-3, but after 5-10 the other characters basically give up on you. For instance, the last screenshot is Eurus laughing at you after death 10)
And finally, I've also FINALLY made my own player sprite. No longer am I bound to HeartBeast's from that tutorial (great tutorial btw, I learnt a lot from it!)
I am very proud of this duck, he is very cute and it's the first time I've made my own player sprite! His legs were the most difficult (they're very spindly, only one pixel wide) and I think they might need some work, the animations still look a bit off. The rest of the animation looks awesome though, and the legs still look fine in my opinion.
here's the duck running:

Hi all, I'm making a game where you, the player, is tasked by Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods, to "steal fire" from the 12 Greek Olympian gods. First stage will be on Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy.
I've got the tutorial section mostly done now, and I think the pixel art I made looks great! I still need to eventually get on to making my own player sprite though...
What do you all think of this? Do you think anything needs to be added to make the world look better (e.g. more variety in the tileset maybe?) or have any ideas for some good puzzles I could add?
