Press release:
17 JANUARY, 2023.
The Belgian Software Development company Briganti today announced with great excitement and happiness that they are going to release the “Winter Wonderland” content update for “Dungeon Alchemist” (which is an AI-powered mapmaking application for fantasy games) on January 31st, 2023 (the said update will be released for PC via Steam by the end of this month).

Dungeon Alchemist, The AI-powered mapmaking application for fantasy games, will launch its third big content update on January 31st.

The Winter Wonderland content update will be available at no extra cost to all owners of Dungeon Alchemist on Steam! Let it snow and cover all outside objects in a cosy white blanket, or add brand new winter-theme assets like snowmen, ice thrones or whatever strikes your fancy. With over 500 new assets and a set of shiny new features, mapmakers can get more creative than ever before!

In 2021, Wim De Hert and Karel Crombecq ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund the concept of an AI-powered mapmaking application and promptly raised €2.4 million, making it one of the top ten most-funded boardgame Kickstarter projects of all time.

Dungeon Alchemist has since elevated TTRPG players’ role-playing experience to the next level, and has grown a community of over 100.000 users that share their creations which each other, inspiring them to create ever more impressive maps.
