Overlap2D
A 2D level and UI editor with engine-agnostic philosophy for game development, separating coding from content creation.
What is Overlap2D?
Overlap2D is a 2D level and UI editor specifically designed for game development. It enables developers to create rich game content including levels, interfaces, animations, particle effects, and physics systems visually, while maintaining separation from the underlying game engine code. The tool follows an engine-agnostic philosophy, allowing content to be used with different game engines through runtime implementations.
Game developers and teams working on 2D games who want to separate content creation from programming, particularly those using or considering libGDX or other Java-based game engines. It's especially useful for teams with both programmers and artists who need efficient collaboration tools.
Developers choose Overlap2D for its engine-agnostic approach that doesn't lock them into a specific game engine, its visual workflow that separates content creation from coding, and its comprehensive feature set for 2D game development including physics, lighting, and particle systems.
