RPG Map Editor

🧭 Updated for Unity 6. Requires Unity 2022.3 or newer.

RPG Map Editor is an autotile map editor for top-down, RPG Maker style 2D games. Paint in the Scene view, or let players edit maps while the game runs. Collisions, a minimap and fog of war come built in, so you get a working RPG world without learning a complicated tool.

Three controls do almost everything: left click paints, right click copies a tile or a group of tiles, and Shift changes what either one does. New to the asset? The welcome window's Quick Start opens a new scene with a map ready to paint.
