LDtk - Powerful 2D Level Editor from Dead Cells Creator

LDtk, or the Level Designer Toolkit, is a free and open source 2D level editor from the creator of Dead Cells. It runs on Windows, Linux and now MacOS. Several new features, including improved autotile creation and multi world support, has been added since we last looked at this Haxe powered tool.

This is incredible. I've been learning 2D game dev, and I've just been learning about auto tiles, so this is going to be insanely useful for turning my prototype levels into actual game levels 🤩

If you want all this put together, his game base starter project is insane. You can figure out how it all works by checking out his open source game jam games.

I was going to ask what makes it better than Tiled editor. But the world map feature is game changer for me. I've always thought it was limiting not thinking in terms of "endless world" for map designing. Also JSON format is awesome. I don't recall all the features of Tiled but when I used it back in the day, parsing the levels was tedius.

I finally got this working and it’s awesome 😄 thanks so much for sharing again!

Thanks for this quick summary which convinced me to try LDtk!

Yacc (Yet Another Compiler Compiler) takes a language grammar and turns out a parser for that language. Ancient Unix utility, dating back to 1975.

Would it be possible to create a video where you walk through using this on Unity? hopefully with the use of entities and the patrol paths for example?
Thanks for the video, this definitely looks super useful!

This is awesome, really slick UI. Just started using it today. Not sure how I'm going to export to unity. Hopefully it has something like the Tiled/unity integration. Looks like this exports in Tiled format, nice!

I knew about this software and you know what my reaction was? "This is great! But let's roll out my own instead!"

I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done that

[ninstars]

Just checked the source code and everything with "YACC" in this repo are actually just mislabeled JSON files used by GameMaker.

7:13 How does that work?. You can choose loot and other stuff. When you load that in Unity, whats the result?. Is there code already done?.

Hello Mike
Could you make a video about Humblr Budnle of Moho's Animation Software?
I want to know if you get the softawre for life or you will pay after some time?

Thank you

Hey gfs can you create a video about game development with android or mobile game engine

[lilrockstar]

Dude the only thing this tool is missing is the ability to rotate tiles

[olivermacapulay]

Can this be used to create tilemaps for unity?

[rluis]

I wish the Godot 4 tilemap system was similar to this.

Create a new Level here...call it NewLevelHere 😂😂
