All of the ones I’ve used have you draw sprites raw. Some of them wrap that functionality so you draw to a cell, but it’s still drawing sprites to a canvas. I don’t know of any others which use Defold’s mesh approach out of the box.
Maybe a “tilemap with GOs” helper module would be useful for someone to make for the community. I have some useful code for it I could put together but I’m a little busy right now.
