World Building

Choose the presentation that fits your game

Build top-down adventures, isometric worlds, and first-person dungeons with one connected editor and one shared project pipeline.

Build classic top-down adventures

Draw regions, paint with tiles, script interactions, and build retro RPG worlds with a fast map-making workflow.

Explore 2D Workflow

Shape dungeons, towns, and terrain in 3D

Mix sectors, profiles, terrain, materials, and tile painting to create first-person or isometric worlds without a separate 3D toolchain.

Key Tools

Focused workflows inside the editor

From fast dungeon blockouts to procedural tiles and narrative authoring, these tools shape the way worlds come together in Eldiron.

Dungeon Tool

Block out rooms, corridors, shafts, and doors in a conceptual grid, then let Eldiron generate editable map geometry from it. You can even dynamically change fog and other render settings.

Open docs

Interactive Fiction

Layer narrative metadata onto sectors, linedefs, and entities, and use Eldiron's powerful intent system to build a world model that can be explored entirely through text.

Open docs

Tile Graph

Author procedural tile groups with reusable node graphs, layered materials, automatic wrapping, and more. Tile graphs can span multiple tile blocks, allowing for larger procedural detail.

Open docs

Builder Graph

Create reusable builder graphs for props, furniture, fences, and other structural assemblies, with live preview, material slots, and attachment points for nested builds.

Open docs

Tile Picker

Arrange tiles on the new Tile Picker board, and create, edit, and share collections, tile groups, and tile graphs from one central workflow.
