Our mission
Keep fan-made island projects easy to finish
We built Tomodachi Life Living The Grid for players who want practical, low-friction helpers: clear pixel plans, reusable color labels, and quick phrase ideas without accounts or heavy setup.
Retro-first planning
The tools favor readable grids, simple controls, and small-screen charm over complicated workflows.
Palette confidence
Game palette matches, R-C labels, and color checkoffs help each design stay organized.
Fast little experiments
Try a reference, adjust brush size or color count, and export a guide when it feels right.
Made by fans
Everything here is an unofficial companion for playful planning, not an official Nintendo product.
How we work
From reference to island-ready guide
The workflow stays close to the way players actually plan: pick an image, simplify the palette, read the grid, then save a guide you can follow at your own pace.
01
Step 1
Start with a reference
Use your own image or the built-in demo to get a first pixel grid.
02
Step 2
Tune the grid
Pick brush size, color limit, labels, grid lines, dither, and numbered-cell options.
03
Step 3
Track the palette
Use R-C labels, highlights, done marks, and banned colors to keep the plan readable.
04
Step 4
Save the guide
Export a PNG, numbered sheet, paint-by-numbers view, or JSON data for later.
