Press release:
Darmstadt, Germany, May 3rd, 2023.
The Darmstadt-based (Germany) indie games publisher rokaplay and Düsseldorf-based (Germany) indie games developer FIRECHICK, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their creative 2D pixel art dungeon editor “Super Dungeon Maker”, is now available for PC (via Steam) and the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop) for $19.99 / €19.99.

Inspired by The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Mario Maker, Super Dungeon Maker lets players try their hand at crafting their own love letter to SNES era classics.

Build your very own dungeon in just a few steps! The easy to navigate dungeon creator allows players to make exciting stages in mere minutes, whether they’re using a mouse & keyboard or Joy-cons. Choose how many levels, items, enemies, traps, switches, and hidden objects you want and create your very own pixel art-style dungeons of varying themes and difficulties. 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!

“First off, we wanted to offer a big thank you to all our players who created levels across the Early Access period that have really shown off the possibilities within the game as well as the creativity of our community,” said Linda Treffler, Co-Director and Artist at FIRECHICK.

“Super Dungeon Maker is for all fans of retro gaming who dreamed of being able to create their own 16-bit adventures. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!”

“Super Dungeon Maker is a masterful premise that’s pregnant with possibility,” said Adrian Kaiser, Head of Communication at rokaplay.

“It’s so easy to use, and the player community has been so creative already that before you know it your head will be swimming with inspiration!”

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 [email protected] for more information.
