I m Liam an indie developer working on TilePix, a tileset + tilemap editor built specifically for iPad (and Mac*).
I started building TilePix because I wanted to design game levels away from my desk. Most tools felt powerful but very desktop-first, and I kept wishing I could sketch levels the same way artists sketch ideas quickly, anywhere, with Apple Pencil, So I spent the last few months building a mobile-first workflow for pixel artists and indie game developers.
Greetings all! little bit of a delay with letting you know about the most recent update V1.8 (released on 10/2/26): there has been a few notable additions such as the TileMap mode move tool and there is also now a randomized fill tool for when you have more than tile selected in multi select mode on the tilemap pallete allowing you to quickly create irregular designs where required. There has also been a new addition of an optional touch based gesture: three finger tap to reset pan. i noticed when i was working on larger maps it could sometimes take a while to get back to the origin position and regain your grounding. There has also been a new app icon - partially to better represent the apps design abilities showing a top down and 2D perspective within the same image (see below)
Future update plans: While i continue to battle getting the app seen, i try not to lose spirit with continued development and i have been thinking about allowing the user to choose if they want to use iCloud to sync their project from iPad to desktop allowing a truly seamless workflow from on the go, to the desk That will be all from me until the next time, thanks for reading! :)
Hey all! just checking in to let you know about the latest changes: We now have a class editor built-in to the app to allow you to do even more work on-the-go! Supporting at this time Bool and String values these get exported along with the rest of the JSON file / Tiled Project dependent on your engine usage. I think the next thing i will work on is improving the malleability of the movement tool to make it even more intuitive and perhaps see about integrating clipboard usage...
