Hero Extant: World Generator
This world generator uses fractal terrains and various simulations to generate highly detailed random map data. It is open-source and licensed under the GNU General Public License v3, with some sections also available under the MIT license (at your option).
There's a video and more screenshots.
This is a prototype; stay tuned for updates!
Update: Now public domain on GitHub
The world generator backend has been ported to Java by avh4 - thank you!
