TL;DR

We're giving away Daedalus for free for all the fellow indie devs out there. Feel free to use it in your projects (both non-commercial and commercial) and create something amazing with it!

What is Daedalus?

Daedalus is a plugin for Unity. It's a complete suite of tools to generate all kinds of procedural dungeons/levels.

• It can generate both 2D and 3D dungeons.
• It works with sprites and meshes.
• It can generate multi-storey dungeons (i.e., towers)
• It can generate dungeons both offline and at runtime.
• You can randomize any single feature (walls, columns, door, floor, ceilings, etc.)
• Tiles can be 'directional', so you can create continuous paths

Why are you releasing it for free?

We used to sell Daedalus on the Unity AssetStore back in 2014. A lot of things happened since then and we're not selling it anymore, so we thought it may be a great addition to all Unity developers' toolset, especially if they want to implement procedural content into their own games.

What kind of license does it fall under?

It's Public Domain. Feel free to use it in any way you want for both non-commercial and commercial projects.

Will there be updates?

No, it is a discontinued project. We implemented all the features we needed for our own projects, but since then we moved to different things (and we now use a different engine), so there's no point for us in adding new features. Sorry.

Feel free to add your own new features/changes (full source code is provided). Make sure to let us know if you do, we're curious to see what you'll be doing with it!

What if I need help with it?

There used to be some docs and tutorial, but they got lost in time. Its use is pretty straightforward and there are a lot of example scenes that come with it. If you need help, feel free to contact us but we cannot guarantee we'll be able to help you.

EDIT:

Here's the original documentation (thanks to ChaosMindGames!)
