Enfusion is our own, in-house developed game engine that is intended to empower the future of our games. In short, the engine is the technological backbone behind everything that you see, hear and experience in our games.

The Enfusion Workbench is a set of integrated development tools used to create games or game modifications in Enfusion. It's going to be available to every community creator on Windows PCs and it's the same set of tools that our own developers are using to create future Enfusion games. It currently consists of the following editors:

• World Editor
• Particle Editor
• Animation Editor
• Script Editor
• Audio Editor
• Behavior Editor
• Procedural Animation Editor
• String Editor
• and more

The Enfusion Workbench also connects to our own multiplatform Workshop solution. Combined with this Workshop, the Workbench also serves as a fully integrated environment for developing, packing, and publishing mods for Enfusion games.

Enfusion has taken some of the concepts and ideas that made the RV/Enforce engines unique and built upon them using up-to-date technology. More specifically, Enfusion was inspired by RV's ability to simulate large open worlds and support user moddability and has incorporated both of these key strengths.

Compared to RV, however, Enfusion is a lot more flexible and significantly more user-friendly for both developers and users – characteristics it inherited from the Enforce engine.

Unlike RV and Enforce, Enfusion is a fully multiplatform engine with an extensive online backend. As a result, it can make games run smoothly and look great across PCs and consoles.

DayZ runs on older version of Enfusion, partly mixed with Real Virtuality. If you used the DayZ Workbench, you will see close similarities in:

• Enforce script
• UI
• Particle system
• Animation system

The difference is that in Arma Reforger Workbench, you can edit worlds and models without needing to use separate tools, like you do in DayZ Workbench.

Game Master is in-game, it's primarily designed for multiplayer, however, single players can use it for their own creations, with limitations. When the play-session is already running, selected players can open the Game Master to create and manage the experience for others. While the Workbench is a powerful tool, it's for developers and modders, not for players. It requires more advanced technical knowledge.

Game Master aims to complement Workbench, not replace it.

From the main menu, open the GAME MASTER menu and choose a terrain on which you wish to start. This will start a blank world where you can create a scenario from scratch. If you're hosting, others can join you and play your creation.

Anytime during the game, you can also open the pause menu and press and hold EDIT to toggle between your avatar and the Game Master. That way, you aren't limited to playing only the game or editing.

Alternatively, you can also toggle the Game Master using shortcuts - Y on keyboard (Z on QWERTZ), or pressing Menu + Left Shoulder or Left Shoulder + Menu on a gamepad.

Yes, the Game Master serves as a platform for any feature which can benefit from a free-flying camera and interactions with the world.

We have several modes available, each focused on a specific theme:

• Edit - add new entities, manipulate existing ones and configure scenario attributes
• Admin - manage the server and players
• Armavision - capture screenshots and videos with a detailed camera, post-process and overlay settings

Access to these modes is configured individually. So while the Admin mode can be accessed only by a server admin, the Armavision mode is available to everyone.

By default, only the server host or admins can open Game Master. It's a powerful feature and we don't want everyone messing around with it, potentially abusing it to the detriment of other players.

Game mode designers can set access rights in scripts. For example, in the blank Game Master game mode available from the main menu, players can vote the Game Master among themselves.

Admins can also set individual access rights for other players, turning others into Game Masters.

Any mod installed on the server can introduce new content configured for the Game Master- characters, vehicles, props, compositions, etc.

However, this means that when playing on a dedicated server, users won't be able to use compositions they subscribed to individually, relying on the server collection instead. This technical limitation is only for Arma Reforger and should be addressed in Arma 4.

Any entity prefab can be made editable, as long as it's configured for it. Most of the existing assets will be available for placing, including characters, vehicles, buildings, props, or compositions made of any of these.

To save performance, world entities are not editable. Even though users may be able to place a new tree and edit it afterwards, existing trees on the terrain will remain out of reach.
