Tilemap Town is a platform where you can build maps with your friends and roleplay and chat in the worlds you have created. It takes inspiration from BYOND "building games" that used to be popular long ago, as well as from MUCKs, Second Life, Pony Town, and other platforms.
There are guides for most aspects of the game here: Help page Tutorials page; this page can go into more detail and maybe become the main documentation going forward.
