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.
Simulation Modes
Choose realtime play, fully turn-based stepping, or a hybrid mode that advances on player action and then continues after an idle timeout. This lets the same project support active RPG movement, deliberate tile-by-tile tactics, or Ultima-style pacing.
Open docsInteractive 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.

Nodes
