anyone ever tried world creator?

I found this software which looks promising from the screenshots, and includes a lot of ready to use textures in its "mega" release.

Unfortunately there are no videos available to see how it works, and the gui seems to be really confusing.
I was wondering if anybody has ever used it, and if it's worth its price (there are no examples of the textures included, nor a "texture names list" to understand if it's worth to buy the "mega" pack).

I'd rather give to gideros development instead of wasting money on other tools, but if this works as advertised it could be a great time saver, and you can draw a lot of assets mixing textures "without the need for a real artist".

What do you think about it?
Thank you

It looks promising, but most likely it’s just an editor with a set of textures, and I still haven’t found out if I can upload my textures there and work with them. If so, the product is extremely interesting. If not, then it makes no sense.

I am pretty sure that you can use your textures, otherwise I agree it doesn't make sense

it looks pretty cool indeed, but no tuts/docs make it hard to see its use!
Spare your money for gideros development
I am sure we can do it in gideros if we knew how it looks like!
Have you checked my app? https://mokalux.itch.io/onetiletotileset
Basically:
1 you choose a size
2 you draw a tile
3 then you save and come back to the main screen
4 you click see tileset
5 you can click see tilemap for an example

That looks really complex to use. I'd stick with Tiled... it's very good

@MoKaLux your tool looks cool, and I am sure we could redevelop world creator in gideros... but I don't think it's worth to reinvent the wheel

@antix they have different purposes: with this one it should be possible to quickly create tile textures which you may use in tiled or any other tile system

Whoops, my bad
