Question 1

How do I generate a playable Godot 4 tilemap from a seed without Tiled or Wave Function Collapse?

Accepted Answer

2D Random World (https://gameimagekit.com/en/tool/world-map) builds an island, continent or dungeon locally, then exports a Godot 4.3+ .tscn with a walkable placeholder player plus Tiled JSON. No upload.

Question 2

How do I get the export into Godot?

Accepted Answer

Copy the world_map folder from the ZIP to the root of your Godot project (res://world_map/). Select tileset.png and player.png in the FileSystem dock, set Import Filter to Nearest and disable mipmaps, Reimport, then double-click world.tscn. Click the clapperboard "Run Current Scene" button in the top-right (not the main Play button, which runs the whole project). On Mac, F6 is often captured by the system — use Fn+F6 or Project → Run Current Scene. Arrow keys or WASD move. Godot 4.3+: re-export over any older ZIP.

Question 3

What about Unity / Phaser?

Accepted Answer

The same ZIP still has world.tmj and tileset.png. Unity: SuperTiled2Unity on that folder. Phaser: load.tilemapTiledJSON. You can also keep editing world.tmj in Tiled.

Question 4

Can I use my own tileset?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a grid-packed PNG, set the tile size (and optional margin / spacing), then paint or generate with it. Terrain generation treats tiles in order as a low-to-high height ramp; dungeon mode uses the first non-empty tiles as wall / floor / door.

Question 5

Are my maps and images uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. Generation, painting and export all happen locally in your browser; files are never sent to a server.

Question 6

How does the text prompt work?

Accepted Answer

"Generate from text" matches keywords locally (island / continent / dungeon, size, rivers, smoothness) and turns them into mode, dimensions and noise settings. Tiles are still laid by the local generator. Nothing is downloaded or sent to a server.

Question 7

Can I keep editing in Tiled?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open world.tmj in Tiled to add layers, objects or collision, then feed that map to your engine through its Tiled plugin.

Question 8

Can I play the export right away?

Accepted Answer

You can walk around — it is not a full game. Click Play (shortcut P) to move in the browser with arrow keys or WASD; water and walls block. In Godot use Run Current Scene (on Mac: Fn+F6 or the clapperboard button). Swap the sprite under Player for your own actor when you are ready.

Question 9

How is this different from the infinite canvas?

Accepted Answer

The canvas works with freely placed images and frame sequences. This tool is a grid tilemap: each cell stores a tile id, ready to use as a 2D game level.
