Case 007 Game Tooling

Dungeon Map Builder

Dungeon map tools output static 2D sprites — no geometry, no real light — so a GM who wants a torch to actually cast shadows has nothing between Dungeondraft and a full game engine. Lighting in existing VTTs is faked with 2D shadow polygons.

A browser-based builder that authors top-down but renders real 2.5D geometry in WebGL2 — extruded walls, swinging doors, shadow-mapped lighting — with a reactive trigger system and an acoustics overlay on top.
