As is often the case, many tools are created when developers face a specific challenge while working on a game. Game Developer Bekkoloco built their own 3D tilemap editor after finding existing solutions too complex, and now, it's ready for public release.
This tool is designed to quickly create levels similar to those in Kirby or Mario, with a tile-based system. It saves everything in JSON format, making the levels lightweight, and works seamlessly with Unity's tile rules system.
In the future, Quick Tile will include 2.5D features, allowing users to create levels similar to Kirby's 3D side-scrolling stages, all with an easy-to-use interface. Follow Bekkoloco on Reddit to stay updated on when Quick Tile goes live, and check out its progress below:
