[SOLVED] pre-sale question ? - Tilemapping

[Vaupell]

Have been looking into many of the different 2D kits around the asset store,
and sofar i believe that 2D Toolkit has the most to offer.

But for now, I'm looking for something that would help me draw levels,
working on a 2D platformer, got a prototype working, but need to mass produce levels.

And i saw a video on youtube that was very sexy in these terms almost like 2D platform making porn.
This is not 2D toolkit, but a kit that is not out yet, or might not ever appear in the asset store.
But the point is, the way the mapmaking is "drawn" with prefabs, is really something I'm looking for.

However, there are a few Tile mappers out there, and I'm considering 2D Toolkit because of it's
additional features, I might use in the future.

But right now,

Is there anyone that can confirm or even better link a short video showing 2D toolkits, TILEMAPPING features.


Thank you in Advance.

Hi,

I'm not aware of any videos of the tile mapping feature. We have upgraded it so much in the past year or so that any videos would have been outdated so quickly. About your questions:

1. The tile mapper just works like any tile mapper out there, and is pretty fast and efficient. http://2dtoolkit.com/docs/latest/tilemap/tutorial.html
2. It does have prefab replacement - section #5 of the tutorial lets you paint these crates in, that get replaced with physical rigid bodies that drop when you press play.

Looking at that video, we don't do sprites like they do, but you can place any tk2d sprite or unity sprite in the scene and it just works with the tile map system.

looking at that tutorial, it looks like something easy and fun with design in focus.

So i bought the toolkit   - also requested membership as instructed
