Developing games through a simple workflow
Map settings
After finishing editing your map, you can use map flags to let the game know how it should run your map. Among other things you can decide whether your map should be interpreted as a sideview map, or a top-down map.
Each map type in turn has its own distinct settings, such as how it should scroll, whether it should be treated as a world map, and whether other players should be able to join that particular map.
The JON package
The JON package is the single source of truth for all the data that pertains to your game. This includes maps, objects, events and project settings.
When bundled with assets and an Astrojone game executable, you have everything that's needed to run the game.
