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.

New Projects page

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.

Project Creation progress

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
