TileForge Studio
The browser-based 2D tile map editor for indie devs.
What is TileForge Studio?
TileForge Studio is a browser-based 2D tile map editor for indie game developers, level designers, and hobbyists. Open a tab, import your tileset, and start building. No download, no install.
It reads and writes TMJ files (the JSON format used by Tiled), so your maps work in any engine that supports Tiled. Export directly to Godot, Phaser, or Unity. Sync your work to GitHub, or save to the cloud with an EchoForge account.
Features
6 Procedural Generators
Generate dungeons, caves, overworlds, and more with built-in algorithms. Adjust settings and regenerate until the layout looks right.
8 Drawing Tools
Pencil, brush, fill, rectangle, eraser, eyedropper, selection, and stamp. Eight tools for exact tile placement and quick edits.
Layer System
Organize your map with multiple tile layers, object layers, and collision layers. Reorder, hide, lock, and rename freely.
Undo/Redo & Copy/Paste
Full undo/redo history so you can try things without worry. Copy and paste regions across layers or between maps.
GitHub Sync
Connect your GitHub account and push or pull map files right from your repositories. Your maps stay version-controlled next to your game code.
Engine Export
Export to Godot, Phaser, or Unity with one click. TMJ output works with any engine that reads Tiled maps.
Why TileForge?
The tile map editor market hasn't moved much. Tiled is a desktop app with an old interface. LDtk development has stalled. Sprite Fusion covers some basics but lacks depth.
TileForge Studio is a modern web app built from the ground up. It runs in your browser on any OS. It saves to the cloud, syncs with GitHub, and exports to the engines you use. No installer, no update prompts — just open a tab and build.
