SLICEFORGE STUDIO / WORLD EDITOR
Paint a grid.
Build a world.
Turn terrain, paths, water, and placements into a playable world. SliceForge World Editor connects a simple tile-painting workflow to a live 2.5D/3D preview.

THE WORLD-AUTHORING LOOP
Start with cells.
See the whole scene.
The painted grid is the source of truth for both the preview and the world you playtest.
- 01 / PAINT
Lay down the idea.
Pan and zoom the 2D canvas. Paint ground, forest, paths, and water, then add buildings, props, prefabs, and other placeables.
- 02 / GENERATE
Build from the changes.
Edited cells trigger partial regeneration of the affected world components, including forests, water, and paths.
- 03 / PREVIEW
Look ahead in 3D.
An orthographic 2.5D preview streams visible chunks at different levels of detail, turning the map into a scene you can inspect.
- 04 / PLAYTEST
Step into your world.
Run the same world you authored. Save the project and grid together, or package the world for export.
A MAP PAINTER AT HEART
The grid holds
the decisions.
Each cell describes what belongs in the world. Generators interpret those cells as terrain, vegetation, water, paths, and placed objects.
This is a chunked tile painter with a live 3D look-ahead. Freeform mesh editing is not the starting point; the map remains the authoring surface.
Keep empty space lightweight.
World data is divided into 64 × 64 chunks. Empty chunks stay sparse, while the preview streams the visible area at appropriate detail.
ONE STUDIO, DISTINCT SURFACES
The right place
for each kind of work.
World Editor is the map-authoring surface inside SliceForge Studio.
World Editor
Author the playable map from painted cells and placements. The core paint → generate → preview → playtest loop.
Terrain Designer / Composer
A parallel path for heightfields, stamps, and rivers through RiverForge, sharing the same project.
Workshop / Asset Lab
Prepare prefabs, sockets, and assets used in the world. Asset creation is separate from painting the map.
Play / Game Hub
Run and playtest the world you have authored.
KEEP THE WORLD TOGETHER
Save the source. Package the world.
Save the project document alongside its dense or chunked grid data. Export packages include .sfworld and standalone builds.

WORLD AUTHORING · RECORDED DEVELOPMENT DEMO
SliceForge World Editor
Paint the map. Inspect the world.
A real development recording places the editable cell grid beside the generated 3D preview, with terrain tools and a prop shelf around the work.
Behind the design
Keep the authoring decisions and their spatial result visible together. The painted grid remains the source while the preview lets you inspect the generated scene.
