What is it?

Built for the people
running their own city.

Paragon Foundry helps creators build and manage custom powersets, enhancements, animations, assets, and deployment bundles — everything you need to author server-side content for a private City of Heroes installation.

It is designed for local and private server workflows. Your project files live on your machine, your test server runs on your machine, and your iterations happen at the speed of your own hardware. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud lock-in.

Core Features

Everything in one forge.

A complete content pipeline — from authoring to validation to a live local server — without leaving the app.

Powerset & Content Tools

Author full powersets, archetypes, and content trees with structured editors that understand the underlying data model.

Enhancement Creation Suite

Design custom enhancements, sets, and bonuses with live previews and reference-aware fields.

Animation Creation Suite

Sequence, time, and link animations to powers with a visual timeline built for iteration.

PIGG / GEO Asset Viewing

Inspect packaged geometry and asset archives without round-tripping through external tools.

Export & Merge Helpers

Bundle changes, resolve overlaps, and merge contributions cleanly across teams and forks.

Local Deployment & Testing

Push builds to a local server target and iterate in seconds — no remote dependencies.

Reference-Data Validation

Catch broken IDs, missing references, and schema drift before they reach your test server.

Offline-First Workflow

Everything runs locally on your machine. Your data, your tools, your server — no cloud required.
