Eldiron v0.8.23 is now available, introducing support for procedural materials.

Material

The new material system allows you to assign node-based effects to geometry, enabling tileable, unique materials for use in both 2D and 3D maps — fully integrated within Eldiron.

Current node types include color, distance-based gradients, and noise overlays. Additional nodes and advanced features will follow in upcoming releases.

You can now generate tiles directly from your maps, making Eldiron a fully self-sufficient game creation environment.


New in v0.8.23

  • Clipboard functionality for geometry (cut, copy, paste) in the map editor
  • Fog-based distance fading for 3D rendering
  • New region-based configuration system
  • Numerous fixes and general improvements

This release continues the path toward a complete retro RPG creation toolkit — more updates are coming soon.
