Quickstart - World Engine

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.

Development Workflow

Local Development → Use world start for local development
Version Control → Commit and push changes to your repository
Preview Deployment → world deploy for testing in preview environment
Production Promotion → world promote when ready for live users
Monitoring → Use world status and world logs for ongoing monitoring
