Course Overview
Master modular design to create 2D game tilesets and game assets faster and cheaper from simple vector modules!
How to create your own game assets the most effective way?
How to design unique looking game art for the fragment of time and cost?
Is that even possible?
Yes it is!
By applying the principles of modular design and making your game asset creation faster, cheaper and much more efficient!
What is that?
Modular design is a method, where you build up your game assets from pre-designed moduls.
During this course you will learn:
the principles of modular designs in game art
to create a fleet of spaceships from simple geometrical forms
to create cartoon character heads good for any mobile game
to design a modular goblin army with fantasy weapons
to make a platform game tileset
to design a 2D tileset for a Zelda -like topdown game
and of course a lot of Inkscape tricks to make your work more efficient!
My name is István Szép, I am a graphic designer and design teacher for more than a decade. Join me in this course and learn to create fast, cheap and effective modular game assets in Inkscape! Inkscape is a free , easy to use vector design program, that will make you be able to create your own video game assets.
Attention! This course is about modular game art design, not about programming! Sadly, you will not learn here to code procedural worlds or script random spaceships. But you can learn to design your assets for that!

The principle is very simple, but seeing it in practice brings a lot of ideas.

Great tutor, good fun and really accurate with art. A joy to learn from. I was utterly rubbish at computer art before doing this guy's courses, and now I am much improved, almost ready now to use my own art in my own games. I am very proud.
