# First Launch

## Project Creation

Before running **Force** we need to **create a new project**. For that in **Nave** go to **Projects Tab**, and click to **Create Project**.

<figure><img src="https://2773422523-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FuytHSSE0uhny7g4jsNpY%2Fuploads%2FVPcx1bePmNJwRuocwD04%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a2d668ee-40b8-4872-955c-bca8a5952734" alt=""><figcaption><p>New Projects page</p></figcaption></figure>

Here you need to setup some project configurations. First choose a **Template** 2D or 3D. At that moment **Force** is not go to 3D yet, it will only change the editor look to work with 2D objects with orthographic camera view and two axis X, Y, and 3D, with perspective camera view and three axis X, Y, Z to edit. But for 2D are features almost there (exclude 2D-Animations and GUI (last kinda there but not completed yet)).

Then choose basic project information like project name, location (path where it will stored on disk), and organization and click to **Create Project.**

Now **Nave**, opens **Force**, and starts to create a new project, wait untill it finished.  **Nave** also detects every project creation step, so you can see it in parallel. After project will be created **Nave** switch to **Projects Tab**, and you can work in that project in **Force**.

Also in Nave you can manipulate projects, delete, open in Projects Tab.

## Firsh Launch without Project

If you decide to run engine without initial project creation, the first thing that **Force** do is identifier us as new user.  **Force** shows the **Startup Window**, where you can create new blank project or opened already exist one if it was. Project creation inside **Force**, probaly will be removed from Force, so for that now we have **Nave**.
