Then give them a spin as you tackle the fruits of your creativity!
Once you're satisfied with your dungeons, share them with your friends, family and community with cross-platform level sharing! Unleash your creative streak as a dungeon creator and place as many foes, floors and secret paths as you like. Make the journey more difficult for your friends with countless traps and hidden spikes.
Having been on Steam Early Access since February 2022, Super Dungeon Maker has already amassed over 3,000 brilliant, varied stages from its passionate and talented community. Don't know where to start? Try out the built-in dungeons for inspiration. These are only a sample of what's on offer, as Super Dungeon Maker's toolkit means the possibilities are endless!
"We're big fans of classic Zelda titles and we loved what Nintendo did with Super Mario Maker, so we wanted to offer a similarly user-friendly creation tool for top-down action-adventure games of the 16-bit era," said Linda Treffler, Co-Director and Artist at FIRECHICK. "We've been over the moon about some of the user-created levels that have come out so far on Early Access, so we can't wait to see what other wonderful creations players will make with the full game!"
"What FIRECHICK has done with Super Dungeon Maker is nothing short of amazing," said Adrian Kaiser, Head of Communication at rokaplay. "The ease of use, array of options, and charming presentation offers an immaculate execution of an evergreen idea. We were inspired by classic Nintendo games, so being able to create our own adventures has our inner child jumping for joy!"
Super Dungeon Maker seeks to be more than just a game, but also an educational tool. That's why the developers have chosen to make its dungeon editor 100 per cent free for academic purposes. The easy to use level creator has already been used in several universities across Europe and North America to teach students the ins and outs of level design. Educators who work at a university can contact edu@rokaplay.com for more information.
