Dagger's Roguelike Map Generator

Introduction

This modular Unity tool generates node-based maps procedurally using controlled, parameterized randomness. Designed for flexibility, it allows developers to build replayable map structures for roguelike and modular progression systems—while retaining full control over map flow, branching, and node types.

Practical Applications

• Procedural overworld or dungeon maps for 2D games.
• Node-based event chains or challenge layouts.
• Main map progression systems with developer-defined nodes.
• Minigame logic or modular sub-systems.
• Dynamic, replayable layouts requiring controlled randomization.

Design Philosophy

The generator is built around modular, editor-first development. Procedural generation is fully parameterized to offer structured randomness—giving designers control while benefiting from replayability. Its clean, API-friendly structure allows programmers to extend the tool easily, integrating node graphs into gameplay systems without friction.

Key Features

• ScriptableObject node database system.
• Seeded/random map generation with reproducibility control.
• Branching, merging, and forced node support.
• Editor window with real-time visual previews.
• Clean runtime API for querying nodes and connections.
• Modular and extendable architecture for both designers and developers.
