Dungeon Alchemist is a premium map creator perfect for your fantasy simulation games. This is a level editor software from Briganti that makes stage design and generation easier. It leverages technologies for AI-powered design and procedural generation, which makes it faster and more convenient for designers to place various gameplay elements for their customized maps.

If you’re looking to create custom maps for games like Baldur's Gate 2, or create your own game altogether, few can match what Dungeon Alchemist offers. Its AI automatically puts walls, floors, and lighting. However, the game has no official release date yet. 

Make fantasy maps easier

The challenge with fantasy mapmaking is that not everyone has the time to go over the details, such as the lighting in each room or how to keep the outer walls aligned. With Dungeon Alchemist, you no longer have to worry about minor stuff. Its grid-based object placement and its presets for every room type make everything faster and easier.

After plotting your map in the 2D space, the app also automatically creates its 3D equivalent. Then, you can focus on the details — moving the fireplace, rotating the couch, or resizing the shelves — and create every part of your map exactly how you envision it. Also, as a fantasy-oriented mapmaker, you can choose from its wide range of presets such as drops, treasures, and traps.

If you’re not sure of what you want, the mapmaker also comes with a randomize button. You can even create an entire map based on randomized events, without worrying about access or uniformity. Still, to fully utilize this program, there’s a learning curve required. You will need to spend some time to fully understand the possibilities you can do with it. It’s not highly technical, but not immediately accessible either.

The best in its class

While there are other mapmaking software available, it’s safe to say that Dungeon Alchemist is one of the best there is, especially for fantasy and tabletop gamers. It skips the complexities that most apps of this kind have, allowing you to focus on what you want without worrying about the details. Even better, its randomize button lets you create a map essentially based on a dice roll, but retaining functionality and flow thanks to its AI support.
