General Discussion / Tile editor -- Any ideas?
« on: August 17, 2007, 09:33:20 pm »
Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I've been viewing the board for a few days, and I'm really excited about posting some of my work.
I'm a programmer by profession, and I'm planning on making a small rpg in either java or flash with pixel-style art. It's not going to be an mmorpg, but the style of game-play will be mmorpg based (free roaming with quest attained from npcs, professions, etc).
Anyways, I'm looking for a tile map editor. Not an actual graphics editor, but a map editor that will let you build levels. I'm looking for one that preferably outputs an XML or some other format that's easy to parse. Do you have any recommendations? If I have to program one myself, I will. But I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.
Thank you.
