I'm going to show a single scene from my project, then break down where and why I'm using the different scene types. So let's get into it!

When I first tried adding 2D lighting and shadows to my isometric game in Godot, I came up empty-handed—until now. With the release of Godot 4.4 and some key insights from the community, I finally got it working. This tutorial walks you through setting up layered TileMaps, occluders, light masks, and even normal maps for beautiful, dynamic lighting in your 2D isometric world.
