The creator of Dead Cells has introduced an open source level editor

I’m currently working on LEd, an open-source 2D level editor for #indie #gamedev community. It features auto-layers, entities, modern UI and many many quality of life details. My goal: having all core features and make them right https://t.co/qUmFzh1i9E Please share :) pic.twitter.com/rku9irvsXd

Deepnight Games (@deepnightfr) September 24, 2020″My goal is to provide developers with an editor that has all the important basic functions, and implement them at a new level, with a modern user interface and interaction,” explains Sebastian Bénard (Sébastien Bénard) the reason for creating LDtk.

Among the main functions of the editor, which is developed on Haxe, the developer highlights:

• modern interface with an emphasis on ease of use;The toolkit is compatible with all programming languages (not just Haxe);
• JSON support: files can be easily converted to third-party game engines;
• automatic layers that require the developer to create only a map with collision boundaries — all textures, grass and other small details will be drawn automatically;
• HTML5 support;
• the ability to create and customize entities (entities) — for example, the health of the character.
• In the future, Benard plans to add parallax support to LDtk, an autotailing system, a world editor (in fact, we are talking about a tool for scaling previews) and much more.

LDtk is now available on the project’s website.
