GridCraft vs Mega Man Maker

GridCraft is a tile map editor for game developers, available in a browser and as a desktop app. It lets users paint tiles of different sizes from one atlas onto a map. Editing tools include brush, terrain, flood fill, shape, selection, stamp and object tools. GridCraft opens and saves Tiled.tmx and.tmj maps, with export targets including Godot 4, GameMaker, Defold, LDtk, LOVE2D, Lua and CSV. Live collaboration displays teammates’ cursors, selections and edits, synchronized through CRDT. The desktop app supports GitHub and GitLab for map-file commits, pushes and pulls. It can expose an open map to MCP clients for AI-agent access, but the server is off by default, binds to the local machine and does not yet edit infinite chunked maps. The free web editor includes all 19 tools and export formats without an account. Free accounts include three cloud maps, 25 MB total storage, one bound desktop device and collaboration for up to three people per map. Paid options include Cloud at $3.99 a month, Team at $13.99 a month and the desktop app at $19.99, paid once.

Mega Man Maker is a free fan game for creating, sharing, and playing user-made Mega Man levels. Its Level Builder lets creators assemble two-dimensional stages and save them as .MMLV files. Build Online supports real-time collaboration over the internet. Before uploading a level to the online server, its creator must beat it; accounts can upload up to 420 levels. Players can browse, search, sort, download, like, and dislike uploaded levels, or play Wily Challenge mode. The builder has space for 1,000 screens in a 50-by-20 layout, though listed asset counts are marked outdated. Players can report levels, and moderators have tools to handle reports, including those about offensive or unbeatable levels. The game runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is a non-profit fan project unaffiliated with Capcom. The official homepage lists version 1.10.5.4, dated 24 August 2026.
