In-Depth Information
As you can see, there is a lot of detail here and a very large world for the player to ex-
plore.
DonJon's site also offers a vast array of other generators to build maps and other RPG ele-
ments. There are even name and game dialogue generators, so it really does meet most
RPG needs.
In-game generated maps
Now, if you want more control over what the player sees or will have in their game, you
can go to all the way and start building maps and more through either Unity's asset
pipeline or in-code within the game.
External tools such as
Tiled
(
http://www.mapeditor.org/
), which is shown in the following
image, can be used to build and design maps. It has many interesting features and can
even output several layers. You can also use either top-down, 2D side scrolling, or even
isometric maps.
