Resource Free resource: Dreamopolis - a browser tool that generates medieval town maps you can edit by hand and use for whatever
Dreamopolis is a free browser tool that generates medieval fantasy town maps.
What it does
- Generates a walled town in one click: streets, a market square, buildings, gates, rivers, farmland and a castle.
- Shapes the town from a short survey: its main trade (such as Port, Crafts, Military or Scholarship), its terrain and its water.
- Lets you edit everything by hand afterward: roads, walls, rivers, zones and single buildings.
- Exports PNG, JPG or PDF.
Terms
- Free. You need no account to generate, edit or export.
- The maps are yours, including for commercial use, with no attribution needed.
- Guest PNG exports carry a small "Made with Dreamopolis" mark. Signed-in exports do not.
The layout comes from hand-written rules based on studies of real medieval towns. The maps are not AI-generated. AI coding tools helped me write the app.
I want your feedback. Dreamopolis is in public beta, and I change it based on what people tell me. Tell me what is broken, what is missing and what you would want from a tool like this. Use the Feedback button in the app's top bar, reply here, or post on Discord. The more feedback I get, the better!
