What tile editor should I use for an isometric game?

Sir_Connery

So I'm wondering what I should use for an isometric 2D tile game. Should I use Godot's native tilemap system, or make tilemaps in other tile systems like Tiled and then import them?

Another person is actually responsible for making the tiles and maps with them, so what would be the best workflow? Use an external editor or Godot's native tilemap editor?

Bumping this in case anyone wants to contribute.

the kung fu of the tilemap node is very strong.

So you're saying I should use the Godot internal tile editor? I mean I guess it works. But is it really the best way to make decent looking maps etc.?

Most people seem to be using the built-in tilemap editor nowadays. The Tiled importer plugin has multiple issues and vnen doesn't have time to fix them.

To save time, you can use Autotiler to generate autotiles compatible with Godot quickly.

Autotiler seems exactly like what I need. I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks.
