Any plans for future upgrades? I'd gladly donate for that! @blurymind
Is there any easy way to run it offline? From the index.html?
Hi, thank you for the interest in this tool. Truth be told, I have kind of moved on to other things since I first made it, but identify many improvements that can be made to it. I can go back to it anytime.
The real problem is lack of motivation. I am not using it in any of my own active projects.
If you would like to donate to it, you can in different ways - be it by purchasing it here or by clicking the donate button at https://github.com/blurymind/tilemap-editor
I dont have anything active that is sustainable and would put some money into it every month. If it was making even 20$ a month, I would spend some time on it every month. If 20 or more people gave it 1$ every month, that would make me keep it actively updated for sure.
If you want to, you can set up a monthly donation here
when you donate, please do leave a comment that it is for this tool.
Now to answer to your question - can it run offline. Yes, absolutely. You can save
github.com/blurymind/tilemap-editor?tab=readme-ov-file
and open it with chrome. It can also be installed as a progressive web app. I know this is not really a good desktop experience. It you donate 40$, I will make it so with every update it builds a desktop version of the tool :)
I know how to do that, just havent found enough motivation to do it.
Maybe I could sell access to a desktop version updates to fund it? Idk what would work best here, how much would people be willing to spend on it? I like keeping it free to be honest, its already open source
Some of the things I would like to improve on it if it was funded enough:
- code clean up and bug fixes - right now it is a bit of a mess. Cleaning it up would greatly improve stability. It sounds boring, but it is important.
- if you donate monthly, you can also leave a message of the feature that you would like prioritized. I listed some of the features I had planned to add to it at https://github.com/blurymind/tilemap-editor
Please create a ticket for a feature there if you can, if its a good idea I might implement it anyway :)
One idea I had was to let the user edit the tileset with piskel in real time, so when they do, the tiles also update on the tilemap
Thanks for replying! I think we could collab given the work you put in. Can we share a discord call? (BellBlitzKing)
I’d gladly put in $40 one-time to your ko-fi or here on itch, to kickstart an update!
I know GameDev is hard, that’s why a collab could ease the burden. I've also sent you an email in case you do not see this in time.
