LDtk

2D level editor (Deepnight / Dead Cells director) with entity/layer workflows and JSON export. Free and MIT. The editor license is not a license on your level content.

Notes

• Site: "Pay what you want" plus a free download; GitHub LICENSE is MIT
• JSON .ldtk files import via community Godot/Unity loaders; pin a loader version to the editor version
• Prefer tiled if you need the older TMX ecosystem

Evidence

• Live ldtk.io (2026-08-24): "LDtk can be used for free without any limitation."
• Live GitHub deepnight/ldtk LICENSE (2026-08-24): "MIT License"
