Eldiron RPG Creator

Eldiron Map Eldiron Map

Eldiron is a cross-platform creator for classic retro role-playing games (RPGs). Its primary goal is to enable the creation of RPGs reminiscent of the 1980s and 1990s while incorporating modern features such as multiplayer support, procedural content generation, and more.

Eldiron natively supports 2D (like Ultima 4/5), isometric, and first-person RPGs, allowing developers to craft a variety of experiences effortlessly.

Eldiron is open-source and licensed under the MIT License.

The first alpha version, featuring the new Doom-style editor, is now available! I’m currently working on documentation and tutorial videos—stay tuned!
