A New Map Editor Arrives in RPGJS Studio
We’re excited to announce a brand-new Map Editor in RPGJS Studio! Until now, creators had two main options when working with maps:
-
The Map Generator – This tool could automatically generate a complete map for you in one click. It’s fast and experimental, but it comes with some limitations: less precision on hitboxes and no editing capabilities.
-
The New Map Editor – Our latest addition takes a very different approach. Instead of generating a fully finished map in one go, it allows you to edit and build maps step by step with much more control.
Key Features of the Map Editor
1. Terrain Generation with Smooth Textures
When generating terrain, the editor automatically combines textures for seamless results. No rough edges, no messy overlaps—your maps look fluid and natural right from the start.
2. Element Placement Made Simple
Elements (trees, rocks, buildings, etc.) can be placed on the map without worrying about layers. The editor handles that for you! You have two main layers:
- Lower layer: base elements and terrain.
- Upper layer: always displayed above characters and decor.
3. Configurable Hitboxes and Reusable Elements
Every element can be fully configured:
- Define hitboxes for collisions.
- Resize or adjust as needed.
- Set properties once and reuse them across multiple maps for consistency.
This means you don’t have to redo configurations every time you start a new map—your elements keep their settings, ensuring a coherent game world.
4. Easy Drawing Workflow
Building a map is straightforward:
- Select a terrain or element.
- Place it directly on the map.
There’s a limit of 300 elements per map, but that’s more than enough for most projects. On top of that, you can still place events as usual to bring your game to life.
5. AI-Powered Element Set Generation
The Map Editor now includes advanced AI algorithms that can automatically generate complete element sets from a single image:
- Automatic Element Detection: Our AI analyzes any image and intelligently identifies individual elements (trees, rocks, buildings, etc.).
- Smart Cropping: The system automatically crops each detected element, creating perfectly sized sprites ready for use in your maps.
- Batch Processing: Generate entire element libraries from concept art, reference images, or existing game assets.
6. Intelligent Terrain Combination System
Beyond individual elements, our AI can create complete terrain combinations:
- Terrain Pattern Recognition: The AI analyzes terrain textures and automatically creates seamless combinations.
- Pre-made Terrain Sets: Generate complete terrain palettes that work together harmoniously.
- Smart Blending: Automatic edge detection and blending ensures smooth transitions between different terrain types.
These pre-made terrain combinations are perfect for creating consistent, professional-looking maps without the hassle of manually matching textures and ensuring compatibility.
Coming Soon: AI-Generated Graphic Packs
We’re working on downloadable packs of AI-generated graphics. These will be especially useful for:
- Creators who don’t want to spend credits.
- Beginners who need ready-made assets.
- Users of the upcoming free version of RPGJS Studio, which will let anyone create maps without worrying about credits or resources.
The AI-powered element and terrain generation will be available in these packs, giving you access to professionally generated asset libraries without the need for manual creation or expensive graphic design resources.
Conclusion
With the new Map Editor and its advanced AI capabilities, RPGJS Studio revolutionizes game development by combining the precision of manual editing with the power of artificial intelligence. Whether you want to:
- Generate complete element sets from any image with automatic detection and cropping
- Create seamless terrain combinations with intelligent pattern recognition
- Build detailed, editable maps with reusable, configurable assets
- Leverage cutting-edge algorithms for professional-quality results
This new tool is designed to make your game development not just faster, but more creative and accessible. The AI handles the technical complexity while you focus on bringing your game vision to life.
Stay tuned—this is just the beginning of what’s possible with AI-powered game development!
