World Forge: Author. Validate. Export.

Zone Painting

Drag to create zones with snap-to-grid layout, resize handles, multi-select with box-select, alignment and distribution tools, and object snapping with visual guides.

Districts & Factions

Group zones into districts with faction control, economy profiles, pressure hotspots, and base metrics. Track faction influence, alert levels, and district-level presences.

Entity Placement

Drop NPCs, enemies, merchants, companions, and bosses onto zones. Author stats, resources, AI profiles, and custom metadata.

Dialogue Trees

Author branching NPC conversations with conditions, effects, and multiple choice paths. Validated for broken links and unreachable nodes.

Character Creation

Define player templates, build catalogs with archetypes, backgrounds, traits, disciplines, entanglements, cross-titles, and progression trees with skill nodes.

Starter Kits & Templates

7 mode-specific starter kits, genre wizard, sample worlds, and user templates. Kit import/export (.wfkit.json) with collision handling and provenance tracking.

Dependencies & Validation

Live validation with 65 structural checks including 2.5D parallax/skyline asset refs, finite-number guards, and spawn-condition grammar. Dependency scanner with one-click repair and click-to-focus navigation.

Review & Export

Health dashboard, content overview, summary export. Peer export lanes: AI RPG Engine ContentPack, Unreal Engine 5 UnrealContentPack (2.5D-aware), plus portable ProjectBundle (.wfproject.json). Multi-format import with fidelity reporting.

2.5D Authoring

Zones carry elevation, multi-level elevation ranges, parallax layers, and skyline refs. Canvas shows elevation badges and drop shadows; UE5 export emits Z-up coordinates, sky/lighting metadata, collision channels, and parallax spawn manifests.

Speed Panel & Shortcuts

Double-right-click command palette with context-aware actions, pinnable favorites, macros with step editor, 13 keyboard shortcuts, and Ctrl+K search across all objects.
