CraftMap: Ultimate Roguelike Map Engine & VFX

🚀 LAUNCH SALE: 30% OFF for a limited time! (Regular Price: $24.99)

CraftMap is a complete, production-ready framework for creating procedural roguelike progression maps — the node-based path selection screens found in games like Slay the Spire, Inscryption, and Monster Train.

Design, preview, and ship your map system in minutes instead of months.

🚀 WHY CRAFTMAP?

Most roguelike map solutions require extensive custom code, offer no visual feedback during authoring, and lack the polish players expect. CraftMap solves all three:

• Author maps visually: A Live Editor Preview regenerates instantly as you tweak settings.

• Production-quality UI out of the box: Built-in tooltips, info panels, legends, Fog of War, and animated flowing paths.

• Integrate in minutes: Clean event-driven API and full JSON serialization support.

🗺️ HOW IT WORKS

1. Create Node Profiles: Define your node types (Enemy, Shop, Boss, etc.) with custom icons, colors, and descriptions.

2. Create a Map Configuration: Set grid size, node distribution weights, spacing rules, and row overrides.

3. Create a Biome Profile (Optional): Theme your map with custom colors, fog of war settings, and path styles.

4. Drop the MapManager into your scene, assign your configuration, and press Play!

The system generates a deterministic Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). The same seed always produces the exact same map — perfect for seeded runs, daily challenges, and replays.

✨ PREMIUM EDITOR EXPERIENCE

Built with Developer Experience (DX) as a top priority:

• Map Configuration Inspector: Features a Live Map Preview with bezier connections, type distribution bars, validation warnings, and one-click presets (Compact, Standard, Epic, Linear, Branching).

• Profile Inspectors: Visual node and theme previews showing icons, tints, scales, and fog alpha bars.

• Map Manager Inspector: System status panel, runtime state display, and quick debug actions.

• Welcome Window: Auto-checks system integrity, provides quick-start buttons, and links to documentation.

⚙️ RUNTIME & VFX FEATURES

• Procedural Generation: Deterministic FNV-1a hash seeding (consistent across all platforms and IL2CPP).

• 8 Built-in Node Types: Start, Enemy, Elite, Rest, Treasure, Shop, Mystery, Boss.

• Advanced Placement Rules: Force specific types on first/last rows, set minimum row gaps between Elites, and apply weighted random distribution with biome filtering.

• Fog of War: Configurable visibility ranges (Hidden, Visible, Reachable, Visited) with smooth animated transitions.

• Premium Path Rendering: Bezier curves with GPU-accelerated flow animation shaders.

• Interactive UI: Floating tooltips (auto-flip), detail info panels, and a legend sidebar.

• The "Juice": Golden visited-path overlay, animated player marker, hover glows, and click punches.

🧩 CLEAN ARCHITECTURE & OPTIMIZATION

• Zero GC Allocation: Fully implemented Object Pooling for nodes and paths during map regeneration.

• CraftTween: A built-in, zero-dependency animation system (12 easing functions).

• State Management: JSON serialization with PlayerPrefs support and automatic version migration.

• Extensible: Implement IMapGenerator for custom algorithms, override UI prefabs, or hook into C# Actions and UnityEvents.

• Clean Code: Single namespace (AceHorizon.CraftMap), Assembly Definitions, no magic strings, and heavily commented XML APIs.
