TileMaker DOT v2.3 is out now with filtering functionality for Unity

Hi, after some feedback I’ve been working on improving the workflow for the map editor, especially as projects start to get larger. Finding specific tiles, objects, or NPCs in a long list can be hard, so I’ve added a new filter bar to the sidebar:)

You can now type the name of any asset, and the editor will instantly hide anything that doesn't match, keeping your workspace clean and helping you find what you need without all the scrolling. It also dynamically hides tabs that don't have matching results, so you aren't clicking through empty folders.

I also added a quick "X" button to clear the search, and made sure that the filter bar is shortcut aware, which means you can type your search queries without the editor accidentally firing off hotkeys.

I’ve updated the in-app Legend (press L) and !also fixed some UI alignments.

You can grab the latest update here:

And if you want to see some video tutorials, I made a 3part series here:

Let me know what you think of the new filter:)

TileMaker DOT is now 100% free for everyone

I’ve decided to retire the paid version and merge all those features into the main app. My goal has always been to support the indie community, and I want everyone to have the best tools possible without any barriers

I’ve just pushed a massive update that brings the Modern UI and Dark Mode / Light Mode to the free version. I’ve also spent a lot of time under the hood fixing bugs to make the whole experience smoother and more stable

The app is now fully on par with what used to be the "Pro workflow" version, meaning you get the advanced workflow, the clean UI, and all the export features for free

Download the full version here:

If you’re new to the tool, I made a quick tutorial to get you started:

I’m really excited to see what you guys build with this. If you find the tool helpful, please leave a rating on the itch page and let me know what you think in the comments! Your feedback is what keeps this project moving forward

Hey everyone! I just pushed a major update for TileMaker DOT that I think a lot of you are going to find useful.

I’ve just added full TMX and TSX export support to the v1.9 on itch.io. My goal is to make this the easiest starting point for 2D level design, so I wanted to make sure these formats were available for everyone to use.

If you’re working in Unity, Godot, or GameMaker or other engines, this is a huge time saver. You can design your maps in TileMaker DOT and drop them straight into your engine without having to rebuild anything from scratch.

If you need a quick walkthrough on how the tool work, I made a tutorial series here:

I'm really trying to make this a go-to tool for the community, so if you have ideas for what I should add next, let me know in the comments, preferably on my itch page! Also, if you’ve been using the tool and like it, please consider leaving a rating on the itch page. It helps the project stay visible and keeps me motivated to keep adding features xD

Hi guys, I just pushed a new update specifically for the Pro Workflow version of TileMaker DOT. This week wasn't about adding flashy new buttons, but about making the ones we already have work faster and better.

I spent some time refactoring the core logic to make the app feel smoother when you're handling large maps or massive asset libraries. I also took the time to update the in-app Legend (the help guide) to make it easier for new users to get started. I also took some time to do some Bug fixes for a more stable dev environment.

If you’re new to the tool or want to see how the Pro features like the Spreadsheet Importer and Dark Mode actually work, I’ve got a full tutorial here that covers the whole workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fiajGU32Jg

I know these "under the hood" updates aren't as exciting as a new tool, but for professional work, stability is everything.

If you’ve already picked up the Pro version, the update is ready for you to download on itch. If you haven't tried it yet, the Pro version is what unlocks the Godot/Unity exports, dark mode, and advanced tools.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the project! It really helps to keep me going
