CHANGELOG · UNREAL ENGINE

122 releases and counting.

Roughly one release every four weeks since August 2015. The Unity changelog lives on its own page.

v3.7.0

in development
NEW Room Designer - A grey boxing toolset for hand crafting rooms and play spaces on a grid, in the Dungeon Tools editor mode. Rooms are built from a stack of editable volumes and emit the standard theme markers, so they work with your existing themes
NEW Pattern Matcher - Proper 3D version of the pattern matcher, where you can define your patterns in 3D space. Backward compatible with the 2D version, select it from the drop down
NEW Pattern Matcher - Double click a rule block to edit its condition directly as text, e.g. (Wall OR Fence) AND NOT Door and have the rule graph updated automatically
NEW Pattern Matcher - Improved the editor UI - cleaner patterns window, compact rule lists with better drag reordering
NEW Canvas - Fog of war and icons on any actor with the new Dungeon Canvas Item component. The Fog Of War Share Mode controls who sees whose exploration in multiplayer - free for all, per team or everyone. Existing assets are redirected automatically
NEW Theme Editor and Flow Editor have been reskinned with new node visuals and a darker, blue tinted graph background. Empty theme nodes now draw a box wireframe so they're easy to spot
NEW Snap Grid Flow - Better control over room repetition with the new Module Selection settings on the dungeon config. Works well even with a small set of modules
NEW Snap Grid Flow - Max Instances and Selection Weight on the module database entries. Cap a room to show up at most once per dungeon (e.g. a shop or a boss room) or make it show up more or less often than the others
NEW Snap Grid Flow - If no combination of modules fits the generated layout, the builder retries with a fresh layout instead of failing the build, and the output log explains which room failed and why
NEW Snap Map - Supports the new room repetition control (Module Selection settings and the module database settings above)
NEW Snap Grid Flow / Grid Flow / Cell Flow - The Create Path node can now grow standalone paths, and the new Emit and Merge windows control where a branch grows out and merges back in. Useful for multiplayer style maps with no main path, e.g. team spawn paths merging into a central hub
NEW Cell Flow - The Cluster Blobbiness setting on the Create Cells nodes now works, and the path nodes have a new Room Size range to merge adjacent layout cells into larger rooms
NEW Snap Grid Flow / Grid Flow / Cell Flow - Key and lock placement on maps with multiple spawns (Validate From / To Path on the Create Key Lock node), and the Finalize node's new Reachability Contracts list declares the routes a finished map must keep open - the build validates every contract and retries the layout when one cannot be met
NEW Faster dungeon generation - Snap Grid Flow layout and module resolve stages, and instanced mesh placement, are now several times faster
NEW Voxel Dungeons - The Voxel Mesh Settings property on the Dungeon actor can now be accessed from Blueprints
FIX Snap Grid Flow - Doors sitting on a module's bounds edges or corners could be assigned to the wrong side of the module. Doors are now matched against the door markers drawn by the module bounds actor
FIX Snap Grid Flow - Module Entrance and Module Exit door constraints are now enforced while the layout is generated when Support Door Categories is enabled
FIX Snap Grid Flow - The Num Timeouts Retries Allowed setting had no effect
FIX Snap builders - Door actors could go missing after saving the level or after a play session
FIX Snap Grid Flow / Grid Flow / Cell Flow - One-way door promotion could make a dungeon unplayable. The builder now checks the level can still be finished before turning a door into a one-way door
FIX Snap Grid Flow / Grid Flow / Cell Flow - The Create Key Lock node gave up too early when the key and lock share a path, and a misspelled path name now stops the build with a clear error instead of silently retrying until it looked like a hang
FIX Cell Flow - A small isolated island of cells could stop the chunk merging early, leaving tiny chunks scattered across the map
FIX Flow builders - Two layout nodes could end up with the same internal id on rare seeds, corrupting the layout
FIX Flow editors - Copy paste no longer stacks duplicate pins on exec nodes, links are back to the stock hover and selection behaviour, and nodes show their error messages again
FIX Improved layout randomization across all builders, dungeons are now spread more evenly across seeds. Note that the same seed will produce a different dungeon than in the previous 3.6 version
FIX Voxel Dungeons - Dedicated servers crashed while building a voxel dungeon. Servers and other headless targets now fall back to a CPU density path and build the same dungeon as their clients (see da.Voxel.UseGPU and da.Voxel.CPUExactDensity to override)
FIX Canvas - Packaging for PS5 failed with shader compile errors. Also fixed stray fog of war pixels at the texture border and non-deterministic soft shadows
FIX Compile errors on Mac
CHANGE Snap Grid Flow - Removed the Non Repeating Rooms and Prefer Modules with Minimum Doors settings. The new Module Selection settings replace them
CHANGE Removed the Dungeon Architect Gameplay framework (DAG) experiment and its content. It was only previewed on Discord and never shipped, so existing projects are not affected

v3.6.0

22-Jan-2026 release notes →
NEW Landscape Transformer - Non-destructive landscape modifications using edit layers - seamlessly blend dungeon layouts with existing terrain and paint material layers based on distance from dungeon boundaries
NEW Canvas Minimap's LayoutDrawPercent parameter has been moved from the component to the Canvas Minimap Theme assets, since this is art specific configuration and doesn't need to be set everytime in the actors
FIX Grid Builder's Pattern matcher was not working correctly when the dungeon was not in the origin. This also fixes the cropping issues at the edge of the grid builder dungeons
FIX Recompiled all the sample theme files to upgrade them to the lastest version. If you have an older theme file from a year ago, open it atleast once in the theme editor and resave to upgrade.

FIX Canvas Theme Editor - Improved stability. Reordering, adding, and removing layers now correctly retains layer values
FIX Code Compile errors while packaging has been fixed
CHANGE Build System Component - RandomizeOnBuild now defaults to false. Enable for random seeds each session, or keep disabled to control seed manually via Blueprints (as in the Multiplayer demo)

v3.2.0

12-Dec-2025 release notes →
NEW Multiplayer Sample - Complete networked dungeon sample with server browser, lobby, and late-join support. The Build System coordinates dungeon generation across server and clients - handling login, instructing clients to build locally, waiting for completion (in spectator mode), then spawning players as pawns. Session management and lobby code provided as reference implementations. Available in Launch Pad.
NEW Build System Overhaul - Two build modes: "wait for all clients" and "direct start". Removed ADungeonGameMode in favor of components
NEW Navigation Support in Theme Nodes - Theme mesh nodes now has a new flag to affect navigation for both instanced and non-instanced actors/blueprints

EXPERIMENTAL PCG integration with Dungeon Architect (UE 5.4+) - New PCG nodes for dungeon layout and SDF texture access, with theme editor integration, enabling advanced theming possibilities
NEW Build System can be used without modifying the GameMode's class hierarchy. Attach a component to your existing game mode instead
NEW DungeonCanvas minimap materials support transparency with fog of war
NEW Dungeon actor introduces Canvas flag GenerateTexturesOnDemand (enabled by default). This flag defers resource allocation (e.g., fog of war textures) until needed. Disable to allocate and update resources immediately upon dungeon creation
NEW Dungeon Progress Status - Captures build state for loading screens, provides queryable text and progress info, and shows real-time progress bar in editor during async building
NEW Dependency execution graph for optimized dungeon build management - Breaks complex builds into smaller tasks with defined dependencies, enabling efficient async execution (e.g., PCG graphs) in the correct order
NEW DungeonCanvas material editor toolbar enhancements - Added preview dungeon builder selection dropdown (Grid, SGF, etc.) and a randomize button to generate new dungeon layouts in the preview viewport
NEW SGF City Samples - Generate large beautiful cities using a combination of SGF builder and Simple City builder. Samples/DA_SGF_CitySample/SGF_City Video

v2.33.0

13-Sep-2024 release notes →
NEW Dungeon Canvas Framework has been rewritten to be more powerful and flexible. It is faster, takes up less memory, support for different camera types, minimap materials that can be applied to the world, multiple widgets can share the same dungeon canvas resources with different themes and a lot more. This also paves the way for future PCG integration
NEW Updated documentation on Dungeon Canvas
NEW Automated Dungeon Build System to automatically build your dungeons at runtime (also works on multiplayer). Control this from the Dungeon actor's detail panel. This avoids a lot of boilerplate blueprint code
NEW SGF supports Entrance / Exit connection constraints
NEW Grid Dungeon Platform Volumes optionally clamp the Z value of the generated dungeons. These are great if you want to align the height of the platforms with existing level geometry
NEW Blueprint function GetAllDungeonSpawnedActors to fetch all the dungeon spawned actors in the scene
FIX SGF Door actor correctly orients itself to the direction of the flow graph link its on. This was inconsistent in the past and the door actor would orient itself in the opposite direction, in some cases.
FIX SGF Negation Volumes were not working correctly with the reverse flag
FIX SGF Create Path node was ignoring the Node Creation constraint
FIX Dungeon Canvas Room Shape Texture assets use SoftObject pointers to avoid cooking issues
FIX SGF ModuleDB compilation crashed the editor in some cases

v2.32.5

16-Jun-2024 release notes →
CRITICAL FIX Dungeon Canvas was causing standalone builds to fail while cooking
FIX Fixed various code warnings while cooking
FIX SGF Module database no longer crashes if the connection actor was placed to close to the bottom of the chunk (with door offset set to 0)
FIX SGF Module database uses a soft object pointer to reference the module bounds assets, to avoid cooking issues in stand alone builds

v2.32.4

26-May-2024 release notes →
CRITICAL FIX Rebuilding the SnapMap dungeons was crashing the editor, if any one of the room chunks were previously selected in the editor
FIX SGF dungeons replicate their actors correctly. So if you place a replicated turret actor in a room chunk, it would replicate correctly on all the clients
FIX SGF FPS flow graph sample content had it's Start / End room category incorrectly set, which was not spawning the player correctly in the spawn room
FIX Multiple Snap based dungeons in the same map were breaking replication. Implemented better hashing to avoid module ID collision
FIX SGF Dungeon Layout bounds returned by the Dungeon Model didn't calculate the dungeon's upper bound correctly

v2.32.3

23-May-2024 release notes →
CRITICAL FIX The Config folder was not deployed correctly in the last update, which caused blueprint errors in the samples, and some assets were not being recognized correctly.
CRITICAL FIX Dungeon Canvas was crashing the editor when exiting out of a map with world partition enabled
FIX Actors tagged as HiddenInGame were incorrectly made visible by the Level Streaming system when it came back to view. The original HiddenInGame flag is now retained correctly, while making the room chunk visible.
FIX The Spawn Items node was sometimes spawning (MaxCount + 1) items due to a rounding error. The value is now clamped to Min/Max
FIX The Spawn Items node in the flow framework uses the SpawnDistributionVariance correctly
NEW SGF Item fitness calculation has an early bailout system so it doesn't take too like if it cannot find a module with enough placeable markers to spawn the items. This makes the dungeon build faster
NEW Access the generated dungeon Bounds from the Dungeon Model object. Dungeon Actor > Get Dungeon Model > Get Dungeon Bounds

v2.32.2

21-May-2024 release notes →
CRITICAL FIX Snap and SGF modules level files could not be saved due to an editor only object inside the Connection actor
FIX Crash issues when the Level streaming model accesses stale level module pointers

v2.32.0

10-May-2024 release notes →
NEW Unreal Engine 5.4 support
NEW Dungeon Canvas - A powerful new dungeon minimap framework, with fog of war, visibility, multiple floor support and much more. Find more info in the release notes.
NEW Level streaming code has been upgraded to use UE5's Level Instance feature. This makes the streaming more stable and efficient. This upgrade propagates to Snap Grid Flow and Snap Map dungeon builders
NEW Removed Snap Persistent dungeons flag, as they are not needed anymore with the new Level Instance feature. You can now save your snap dungeons that were generated in the editor.
NEW Grid Builder's system system rewrite. It generates high quality results without any artifacts. Please refer the docs for more info
NEW Old Dungeon minimaps have been removed and will be superseded by Dungeon Canvas. Dungeon Canvas minimap demos are available for all builders (Dungeon Architect Content > DA_Canvas_Demo)
NEW Negation volume works with SGF builder and GridFlow builders. Use this to control the growth of your procedural dungeons. This can be used to blend it with your exist static world geometry
EXPERIMENTAL Supply different themed snap modules in the module database. This allows you to create different themed dungeons. These are great for creating simplified low-res 3d minimaps of the dungeon, or you may switch between two timezones, futuristic / medieval dungeon with different art styles
NEW New documentation website
FIX Renamed the C++ structures FCell and FCellDoor to a namespaced prefix like FGridDungeonCell, so they don't collide with other plugins that might use the same name
FIX SnapFlow and Flow graph assets are exposed to blueprints
FIX SGF flow graph Create Path node had an incorrect category assigned in the last node in certain cases
NEW Grid builder's Clustered Theming setting has it's height variation flag set to false

NEW Grid Flow Transform logic blueprints have the marker transform as input

v2.31.0

14-Oct-2023 release notes →
NEW Snap Connection Selector Blueprints - Apply this blueprint on your snap connection theme graphs. These blueprints give you access to the two room category it connects to and are great for selecting special doors for certain rooms (like boss / treasure rooms)
NEW Dungeon Streaming Events - Any actor inside the snap modules can listen to dungeon chunk streaming events (loaded, unloaded, visible and hidden) by implementing the interface DungeonStreamingChunkEventInterface
NEW Dungeon Streaming Actor Serialization - Save the state of any actor in a snap chunk while loading / unloading by implementing the interface DungeonStreamingActorSerialization. Check the SaveGame flag on any variable that needs serialization
NEW SGF Procedural fill sample. Create only the main rooms (like boss, treasure, shop and spawn) and have the rest of the space in between procedurally generated
NEW Run Marker Emitter blueprints either before or after the pattern matcher, thereby controlling access to the marker on the other system. If you want the marker emitter blueprint to have access to the pattern matcher emitted markers, run it after the pattern matcher executes
NEW SGF Module Selector blueprints allow you to select or filter out the modules before being placed. E.g. Add (or don't add) the pillar variation of the room depending on whether there's another room on top of it
NEW Snap Map builder supports module rotation on individual modules (similar to SGF), instead of having a single global flag to allow / disallow rotation of modules
NEW Node Coordinate input has been added to the Flow Graph Module Category selection blueprint. This allows you to decorate your dungeons based on where they are (e.g. a different look on each floor, or a different room type on the edges)
NEW Grid Flow Query has a new node to return connected chunk node coords, to allow traversal across the flow graph
NEW SGF sample that uses the new module selector to add pillars if there's another module on top of it
NEW Blueprint node DARecreateActorInLevel to recreate actors from snap module level to the persistent level. If you have dynamic actors that are part of a snap module (e.g. a weapon that you can pick up or an NPC), it would disappear when the level streams out. Use this node to recreate the actor in the persistent level
FIX Theme Engine crashed in some instances when nested markers were used on larger theme files
FIX Landscape Modifier class's properties are exposed to blueprint

NEW New Minimap Framework - The Mini Map framework has ben rewritten. All builders can write to a unified 2D minimap framework. Snap based dungeons support 3D minimaps
NEW Snap Connection Entrance and Exit Constraints. Setting a door constraint to Entrance would ensure that we do not exit the room from this door. These are great for puzzle games
NEW Pattern Matcher rule graph has a new MarkerListExists node that takes in a list of markers and performs a logical OR on it. This reduces the number of nodes you need to create
NEW Procedural Marker Emitters
NEW Procedural Transform Rules - These are built-in rules that are used frequently. Apply these to your nodes, without having to create them everytime
NEW SGF City Sample - A large drivable city built using the Snap Grid Flow builder
