Dungeon Maker is started by Wishbone.
For now, first public version Alpha Release 1 (including playable demo and editor) is available at Wishbone's Dungeon Maker site.
This first version has many builtin map items. 9 characters, 7 dungeon maps, many terrain sounds, many keys/weapons/etc objects, many ornate objects. Although it is still alpha version, you can test it (by playing maps, by creating maps) well.
