Powerful Designers

Design the layout of your dungeons using powerful node based systems. Create key-locks, teleporters, cyclic paths and much more!

Node Based Layout Designer

Design the layout of your procedural dungeons using the flow editor. Then create an infinite number of procedural dungeons that follow this layout rule. Create cyclic-paths, key-locks, teleporters, shops, treasure rooms, boss rooms and much more

Cyclic Paths: Define paths for your procedural dungeons. They can branch out of an existing path, and can optionally merge back into another existing path
Key-Lock System: Define multiple key-locks. The keys and locks can be assigned to different paths. The system will always create a playable level
One-way Doors: Some doors would be strategically promoted to One-way doors so the player doesn't bypass a locked door and enter from another path
Teleporters: Built-in support for teleporter. They work with the key-lock system and the keys or locks can be placed behind the teleportered paths
Item Spawner: Spawn any type of items on the world (like NPCs, treasure chests, power-ups etc) using the theme engine
Tilemap: The flow graph is initially designed in the abstract layout graph. Then the result is trasferred over to a tilemap, which is then used to build a 3D dungeon using the Theme Engine
Procedural Foliage / Noise Overlays: Create noise based overlays on top of your dungeon. These are great for foliage, trees, large cave like rock formations etc. Use a noise based elevation system to decorate the tiles around the dungeon

Graph Grammar System

This system lets you stitch together pre-built rooms based on a procedural graph. These graphs are generated using Graph Grammar rules, an intuitive and powerful way of designing your dungeon layouts. It gives you complete control on the layout and opportunities to rewrite and grow the graph as needed

Graph Grammar Editor: Design, Visualize and Debug your graph grammars in one integrated editor
Stitch pre-made rooms: Design rooms in individual map files. Define stitching points which will be replaced with either a door or blocked off with a wall. This gives the artist tremendous control over the design of individual rooms and is a great blend of procedural generation and artistic control
Key-Locks / Teleporters: Easily add support for Key-Locks, Multikey-Locks, Teleporters, and much more.
Level Streaming: Improve performance by streaming in only the nearby chunks. This also works on multiplayer. Deploy various streaming strategies: Stream based on distance from player or stream based on the room connection graph with customizable depth
Debug View: Switch to the Debug View to walk through the stitching process step-by-step. This gives your a clear visual indication of where the build has failed and the reason behind it, so you can go back and fix your room modules or the graph grammar
Level Design: Design your own set of gameplay graphs and keep your players engaged without making your game repetitive. The sample contains keys and treasure rooms guarded by miniboss rooms, shops, teleporters etc. Each graph generates an infinite variation of dungeons that honor the specifed layout rules

Performance Analysis

Find bottlenecks in your dungeon graph designs and optimize them using the Performance Analyzer. It shows how many attempts were made to build the dungeon.
It is normal for a dungeon to make multiple attempts before converging to a solution. However, if your dungeon design doesn't provide good opportunities for it to converge, they would show up here and you can fix themLearn More

Generate Thousands of Test Cases: Generate thousands of random dungeons using the active dungeon graph and analyze the performance. This helps you quickly identify and optimize your dungeons while you are designing them
Override Parameters: Override any of the flow graph paramters from within the performance window itself. This allows you to quickly test the performance by tweaking different parameters, without modifying the base graph

Theme Engine

A new way to build your levels using an intuitive node based system

Theme Editor

Design the visuals of your level using a node-based system. Drop in assets (like mesh, blueprints, lights, NPCs, destructibles etc) from the content browser and link them up

Swappable Themes

Swap out the theme asset with another one to give a completely different look to your dungeons. Share and reuse theme files across different projects and with team members

Live Preview

Preview the generated dungeon in realtime as you design and modify the theme graph. This helps you iterate faster and increase productivity

Extension Points

Hook into the theme engine and customize further with your own blueprint rules (selection rule, transform rule, spawn rule etc)

PCG Framework

Combine the power of the PCG framework to enhance your workflow

Lumen & Nanite

Harness the power of Unreal Engine 5's Lumen and Nanite technologies to effortlessly craft stunning scenes with just a single click

Pattern Matcher

Use the pattern matcher system to decorate your levels selectively around a certain pattern (of walls, doors, grounds etc)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Unity version's Per-Seat License mean?: The license follows the same usage rights as mentioned in the Unity Asset Store's EULA:
Per seat means that use is exclusive to the named user assigned to that seat. In the case of an individual END-USER, the named user is that individual; if END-USER is a company or any other business, each seat license must be assigned to, and may be used exclusively only by, one (1) specific individual employee of that company or other business
What does the Unreal version's Per-Seat License mean?: The license follows the same usage rights as mentioned in Unreal Engine Marketplace Content Usage section:
Plugin files can be shared, but licenses will need to be purchased for each user that will be using the plugin.
Can I install this on multiple computers?: Yes, you can install it on multiple platforms (PC, Mac, laptops) that you work on, provided only one developer works on it
Full source code access is provided, does that mean this is Open Source?: No, this is not an open-source software and you are not allowed to redistribute the code in its current or modified form. You can however modify the code in any way you like and keep the changes. You may share the changes with other users who also have a license. (Your team can setup a shared repository and modify DA, as long as everyone has a license)
What do Free Lifetime Updates mean?: All future updates of Dungeon Architect will be available for free to existing customers
