About

Hello, I’m Tope

I’m Tope, an indie developer. I make small games on my own, mostly at night after work, and I share every step on video.

I sell the tile packs, sketch templates and guides I use, so you can start your own game.

Questions

What engine do you use?

I use a free engine, and my guides work with any engine that reads tilemaps.

How do I get my download?

Templates, files and the course arrive by email as soon as you pay, and you can download them again any time.

How does merch shipping work?

Merch is printed to order and shipped by Printful. You’ll see the cost and delivery time at checkout.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Email me with a photo and I’ll send a new one.
