There’s a potential stretch goal for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit next year that will require floor plans, so I need something that can generate those. It must:
- Be suitable for modern campaigns;
- Allow for free commercial use;
- Handle things like ruins and damage;
- and is either for sale, or in the public domain. No subscriptions.
- Oh, and no AI. Absolutely none.
Suggestions?

PS: I’m not hiring an artist to do this one. I can’t afford it, full stop. I can only justify buying a program because I’ll reuse it.

I bought this to make a map of a city, which I then never made. It’s fun to goof around with, though.

Draw.io is pretty good. Floorplans isn’t its’ main use, but it can do ’em.
Not sure what the pricing model is like, though.

https://www.dungeonalchemist.com might be interesting.
It’s made for creating RPG floorplan maps, has a quick “draw some boxes for each room type and let the room generator place stuff” option, and allows commercial use under the base license up until you make $100,000 (https://www.dungeonalchemist.com/terms-of-use).
They made the generator algorithm prior to the explosion of “AI” garbage.
Not sure if the export options are what you’d need, but they do support exporting to a variety of virtual table top software too.
Thanks. I will be looking at all of these over the weekend. 🙂
The line between procedural generation and generative AI is kind of fuzzy. The programs do similar things in similar ways, one is just focused and lacking hype.
The ratio of useful comments to garbage around here is outstanding
