Making some great progress with the level editor for my game!

Whoa 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Looks cool!
Is there any reason you don't use an already existing one, like Tiled?

Yay ! Now you can release it and begin making dlcs

You have ruby tagged. What ruby platform are you using to make the game?

@krazy-dev using the gosu library :)

@BigBoo i wanted to build everything completely from scratch so i would understand every aspect of the process, plus this integrates directly with the game which will let me do fun stuff like add bounding boxes within the map editor

@RuntimeError Fair enough, looks cool. Writing game engines are pretty fun and challenging.

I wish you the best of luck with your game.

@BigBoo thanks!

I love pixel art.

This looks really awesome but reminds me of the RPG maker

Build everything from scratch!! 😂😂😭

No seriously, its the best way to learn. Did you create the textures yourself too??

@simulate nah i got them from http://opengameart.org, im no artist lol. but yeah for me its less about learning, more about having control over every little part of the game

I made something like this awhile ago using JavaScript, you can see t here

Doing the exact same fucking thing right this second

@AlgoRythm Ive put mine available on git if you want to check it out http://git.cdcoding.com/The-Battlef...

It was a year or so ago so the code could be improved

Here's an updated little map for all those who are interested:

@BigBoo Tiled is made for game in the box mind of thinking.

@lufen34 Please elaborate.

@BigBoo if you want to make a gameplay which is not like a traditional game such as classical top down view etc but you want a map editor which mix 2d and 3d in your game using billboard or whatever effect you simply can't do it with tiled. And even if you can it's a tool who has been made in a way to know what will people do/use for. So a "in the box mind of thinking"

@BigBoo definitively using tiled on this matter will kill your productivity rather then a homemade which suits your need with homemade functionnality

@lufen34 Alright, and how does it apply to the context of this post?

@BigBoo you asked if there is any reason to make a homemade one lol

@lufen34 Yes, for him specific. Not in general.

@BigBoo kk

@afanneau haha awesome comment. 😂
