Yeah, it crashes out in Chrome these days. When I get some time I’ll look into it… glad you like it, though!

Great editor for prototyping, would be nice to have a simple version that work offline with import/export to akihabra.
Could get it to run on FF but latest Chrome doesn’t work, very slow and tile outline is drawn not erased on each ’tile move’, think the program goes into continious loop when I enable the developer tool in Chrome..

Great to hear. This will definitely push Akihabara (and possibly anything else that supports ALES’s output) into another realm.

Whoops, this comment got lost in the moderation queue.

Yep, custom tileset support is coming. You can also save your level out to a JSON file (really just the array in a simple file format) and then load it back in by dragging the file into the designated drag/drop zone in the upper right.

This is really, really cool. I take it support for custom tilesets is coming?

And what’s the process for loading levels made with this into an actual game? Is it just an array like the Leave Me Alone demo?
