Projects and Collaboration

A project is the core unit of work in Arcane Forge. It keeps design, implementation, assets, and iteration connected for one game.

What a Project Is​

Use this mental model:

  • One project = one game, or one serious experiment
  • Projects are long-lived and iterative
  • AI tools operate within project context, not isolated chats

Why Project-Scoped Context Matters​

Project boundaries reduce context drift. With project-scoped workflows:

  • AI can reference prior decisions
  • Generated outputs remain connected to intent
  • Teams reuse knowledge instead of rewriting prompts

Creating a Project​

Create a new project from the Projects dashboard with:

  • Project name
  • Project description

Projects dashboard

New project modal

Ownership and Permissions​

Each project has one owner. By default:

  • Owner invites collaborators
  • Owner manages membership and permissions

Keep ownership explicit so accountability is clear.

Invite Flow​

From the project menu:

  1. Open Team Members
  2. Invite collaborators by email
  3. Collaborator accepts from the Invites page

Collaboration Hygiene​

Recommended operating practices:

  • Keep one clear game objective per project
  • Save major design decisions to the Knowledge Base
  • Use short, scoped design conversations for better AI precision
  • Treat project context as the source of truth
