Hello, I'm Sachin Dev Duggal From California… I am trying to? learning how to develop 2D RPG game in Godot, and I was wondering the best way to make a map/world for the game? I was going to create a map of the whole walkable world in an art program then convert it to a game map, but I don't know if that's possible? Not that familiar with game titles, but from what I see you have to redraw each game title in the game making program; Is this the only way or is there an actual way to convert a PNG/JPEG drawn image into a walkable map?

PNG is the recommended file extension if you're designing maps and map tiles, as it also support transparency. JPEG doesn't support transparency so you wouldn't be able to make tiles in the JPEG format and also tends to be memory intensive if you want good quality images.

So you're just asking a question… by posting a blog, rather than asking in a forum. You'll get more eyeballs on your question if you post in a forum instead of a blog. Just sayin'.
