Forge is World Engine’s publishing platform that enables you to deploy your World Engine projects to the cloud with ease. It provides a complete workflow from authentication to production deployment, making it simple to get your games and applications live.

What is Forge?

Forge is the deployment and publishing arm of World Engine that handles:
  • Cloud Infrastructure — Managed cloud resources for your World Engine projects
  • Deployment Pipeline — Automated build and deployment processes
  • Environment Management — Preview and production environments
  • Team Collaboration — Organization and project management
  • Monitoring & Logs — Real-time application monitoring and debugging

Getting Started with Forge

The Forge workflow consists of five main steps:

1. Authentication

Start by authenticating with World Engine using your Argus ID:
world login
This will open your browser to complete the authentication process and create or link to your Argus ID account.

2. Create an Organization

Organizations group related projects and manage team access:
world organization create
This interactive process will guide you through creating your organization.

3. Set Up Your Project Repository

Your project needs to be stored in a Git repository for deployment:
git init
git branch -M main
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin <your-repository-url>
git push -u origin main

4. Create and Deploy Your Project

Create a project in Forge and deploy it:
world project create
world deploy
This will build your Cardinal shards and deploy to the preview environment.

5. Monitor Your Deployment

Check the status and view logs of your deployed project:
world status
world logs
These commands provide real-time monitoring and debugging capabilities for your deployed application.
