Since I had to rewrite everything while porting to Godot 4, I decided to make some tweaks to the battle scene. The UI changed a bit but float text is mostly the same...
So walking around a flat world is fine, but my game is isometric so having terrain feels like a must. too bad it's a pain in the ass to implement. I spent months on this and in the end, it wasn't good enough. It wouldn't play well with other props like trees well, The player could glitch it out and clip through it, render order and collision was abhorrent and it couldn't stack on top of itself. I'll be honest the whole reason for why I switched to 3D in the Godot 4 version of the game is because a fake z axis in 2D isn't very fun to implement.
Some of the collision shapes I had to setup
I drew them out so I could turn them into tiles for the tileset
Anyway, word of advice to anyone who wants to make an isometric game, make a 3D game that looks 2D not the other way around.

So I was really happy with this. Then, I spent some time on other stuff. And when I came back, I found one of my shaders was broken... So the current version is a tiny bit different.
Yea that's right, I want my game to have an adventurers guild with ranks. I'm going to take my sweet sweet time explaining the rank system to the player even though it will barely differ from the speech given in every trashy isekai made since 2018. Recently I redesigned the rank insignias (I was bored and didn't want to code) sneaky peaky

voila, house. These ones are pretty simple but now I understand what my workflow is for when I make a nutty one. The tall one needs a balcony 100%. I should make that... but then do I have to let the player onto the balcony, and if I let the player on the balcony, do I let them jump off it into some hay on a horse cart conveniently placed below the balcony? decisions decisions.
