In their own words

Infinity Generation

Infinity Generation's Infinity Engine supports runtime procedural generation of worlds, terrain, vegetation, planets, and other content for games and applications. Infinity Creator is a visual development application with a node graph and 3D scene viewer. Its noise tools are based on FastNoise2 and include Perlin, Simplex, Cellular, and other types. Generated scenes, models, and textures can be exported for use as assets.

The engine is described as compatible with Unity, Unreal, Godot, or custom game engines. Its C++ SDK and API support integration into existing projects, and developers can build custom procedural components for node graphs. Those components can call AI models to enhance dynamic content generation. The Free Alpha plan costs nothing and provides full software use during the Alpha period. Products using Infinity that make over $100,000 in annual gross revenue are subject to a 1% royalty. Creator lists Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and requires a Vulkan 1.1-capable graphics card; macOS and Linux are described as coming soon. Free Alpha support is best-effort through community and email. Enterprise includes priority direct support, with price not listed.

WorldEngine

WorldEngine is free, MIT-licensed software for procedural world generation. It models processes such as plate simulation, rain shadows, erosion, humidity, and terrain permeability to generate world data and images. Outputs include elevation, precipitation, temperature, biome, and ocean maps, as well as heightmaps and biome maps. Users can set a seed, and the command line can create an ancient-looking map from a world file. Worlds can be saved in protobuf or HDF5 formats; HDF5 support requires the optional h5py dependency. Python applications can load world files using WorldEngine as a library, while Java applications can use WorldEngine-Java. Installation instructions cover Docker, source, and uv, but the package is not currently released on PyPI. WorldEngine requires Python 3.9 or later and supports versions through 3.14. A separate graphical interface is available as an experimental, limited project. The project invites questions, suggestions, and contributions through its Google group or by opening an issue.
