What Isometric Builder does

Building an isometric level sprite by sprite in your engine means fighting the draw order for every tree and wall. The Isometric Builder is a map editor with every Gridwright isometric pack already loaded, so a village, a dungeon, a city block or a haunted mansion goes together from finished pieces.

Blocks stack by their real heights, so hills, cliffs, stairs and ramps line up as they will in your game. You paint paths and rivers, put up walls and whole buildings, and place characters, animals and monsters with their shadows. Night mode and the animation preview show the scene as players will see it, and it leaves as a PNG, an animated GIF, a Godot scene or a Tiled map.

How it works

  1. Pick a starter scene or a blank map and set its size.
  2. Choose pieces from the library on the left: terrain, buildings, props, characters.
  3. Paint, raise and lower blocks, then add paths, walls and props.
  4. Export a PNG or GIF for your page, or a Godot scene or Tiled map for your game.

What you get out
