Tactile

Tactile is a cool little tool that lets you create your own tilemaps for 2D games. Even though today’s games look super realistic, a lot of us still have a soft spot for the classic 2D style. If you're having trouble finding new 2D games to play, why not try making your own? With Tactile, you can get started on crafting your own maps or even tweak the ones you already love!

Create Your Own Maps with Ease

After you download and install Tactile, remember that it won't put an icon on your desktop. So, keep track of where you saved it! When you fire it up, you'll see two main options: start a fresh map or open one you've already made to edit.

Customizing Your Map

If you're creating a new map from scratch, you'll need to set up how many rows and columns you want and pick the width and height for each tile. The cool part? You can always go back later to add or remove rows and columns from the Map menu if you change your mind!

Edit Existing Maps Easily

If you'd rather work on an old map instead of starting new, just load it up. You can then go through each tile and make any changes you need. It's super straightforward!

Tools That Make Mapping Fun

Tactile gives you plenty of tools to play around with! You can use different tiles and group layers to make your map unique. Plus, it's got all the basic tools you'd expect like bucket fill, eraser tool, Ellipse, Tile stamp, and Point tool—everything you need for editing and design.

Supports Multiple Formats

This handy app supports popular formats like YAML, JSON, and XML for maps. So whether you're enhancing an existing favorite or dreaming up something entirely new from scratch, Tactile has got your back!
