LDtk

A modern 2D level editor from the creator of Dead Cells, with a strong focus on user-friendliness. I created this tool from my 20+ years of experience creating various games (including Dead Cells and game jams). To be exact, LDtk is “pay-what-you-want, including free“, even for commercial projects. Everything you create using LDtk is yours. By the way, LDtk is also open-source, so you could even grab the code and adapt it to your needs. Every UI details were carefully designed to make the process of creating levels as smooth as possible. For every new tool out there, there is this moment when you need to write the importer for your fav engine. I’ve been there too: so LDtk offers a Super Simple Export option. And by “simple”, I mean it. Define some simple rules in a visual editor and let LDtk do the boring part of the skinning job for you. Choose your world layout among “Grid-vania”, “linear”, or “free” and reorganize all your levels using plain old simple drag-n-drop.
