GridCraft vs Remere's Map Editor

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.

Remere's Map Editor is a free map editor for OpenTibia, an open-source implementation of the MMORPG Tibia. It provides tools for creating and managing maps, including tile and entity placement, terrain flood fill, waypoint tools, and animation previews. Search tools can locate items and find unique IDs, action IDs, containers, and writable items in a selected area. Users can import and export zones and export a minimap for a selected area. Version 4.0 adds compatibility with the Canary and Assets Clients repositories, reads assets from client 11 or higher, and includes Lua scripting and a real-time monitor for FPS, CPU, and RAM. The project supports Windows, Linux, and macOS and provides compilation guidance for each; compiling requires wxWidgets 3.0 or later and Boost 1.55.0 or later. The project is licensed under GPLv2. Its README points to the official website for releases and provides a separate download link for version 3.X until it is added to that site. The free plan costs nothing; redistribution is allowed only in unmodified form.
