Forge 1.0 — Creator Release
A major update to the 2D editor: multi-scene workflows, camera controls, expanded event actions, Creator tools and a redesigned interface.
Multiple scenes & larger worlds
Create, rename, switch and remove scenes. Scenes retain their own objects, logic and settings. Edit worlds up to 8192 × 8192 using a fixed viewport.
Camera system
Pan, zoom, reset and follow an object while previewing your scene.
More visual events
Look at object, set camera position, follow, zoom and reset camera, set object position and rotate object.
20 Creator tool prototypes
Snapshots, health checks, snapping, duplication, alignment, search, command shortcuts, themes, tags, states and more, now inside the main editor's Tools tab.
Professional editor refresh
Unified navy-blue styling, white text, modern system typography, clearer controls, improved panels and release status.
Navigation and script repairs
Corrected broken script markup and the blank Tools panel caused by incorrectly nested workspaces.
What's not finished yet
Some tools remain prototypes. Automatic gameplay scene transitions, camera support in exported games, full online multiplayer and complete 3D editing are not yet included.
