Quick Start Tutorial

This tutorial walks you through creating your first map, adding content, and play-testing — all within the Studio app.

Step 1: Create a Map#

1. Studio opens in Maps by default, so you can start in the world editor immediately
2. In the left map browser, click Create first map or the + button to add a new root map
3. Give it a name like "Starting Village"
4. Choose a default biome (e.g., Plains)
5. Set PvP rules to Safe so players can't attack each other here

The new map opens in the main editor canvas, ready to paint.

Step 2: Paint Your Map#

Use the toolbar to paint terrain:

Select tiles from the palette on the side, then paint them onto the map. Switch between layers to place ground tiles, mid-height objects (fences, bushes), and taller objects (trees, buildings).

Step 3: Create Some Items#

1. Use the left app sidebar to open Items
2. Create a new item from the Items page
3. Make a simple weapon — set the name, choose "Sword" as the type, set T1 tier, and configure some base damage
4. Create a health potion — set type to "Consumable" and configure it to restore HP

Step 4: Add a Mob#

1. Use the left app sidebar to open Mobs
2. Create a new mob from the Mobs page
3. Name it "Forest Slime"
4. Set HP, Attack, Defense, and Level
5. Choose an AI behavior (Aggressive = attacks on sight, Passive = only fights back when attacked)
6. Add your sword to its loot table so players can earn it by fighting

Step 5: Create an NPC#

1. Use the left app sidebar to open NPCs
2. Create a new NPC from the NPCs page
3. Name them "Village Elder"
4. Set their zone and position on the map
5. Link a quest or shop to make them interactive

Step 6: Build a Simple Quest#

1. Use the left app sidebar to open Quests
2. Create a new quest from the Quests page
3. Name it "Clear the Slimes"
4. Add a Kill objective: defeat 5 Forest Slimes
5. Set rewards: 50 gold and 100 XP
6. Link the Village Elder as the start and end NPC

Step 7: Play Test!#

Launch Game → Playtest (Ctrl+P) from the editor menu bar to open the game client. You can:

• Click to move around the map you painted
• Talk to the Village Elder to accept your quest
• Fight Forest Slimes using abilities from the action bar
• Turn in the quest for gold and XP rewards
