Inter Folia

Introducing 'Inter Folia' - - A virtual library where you can browse and read real books

Enjoy the hunt for a great book while exploring some of the world's most beautiful libraries in our virtual park setting. Find real books from Project Gutenberg, Open Library, and other open sources. Browse, check out, and read directly in game or send to your favorite e-reader.

Current features:

• Three famous library buildings recreated and fully explorable containing the book collections, in a chill park setting.
• 80k entire books from Project Gutenberg are loaded and readable in game.
• Card catalog search system. Search by author/title/subject, choose one and a lighted guide will lead you to it's location in the stacks
• Books are organized by Library of Congress subject areas and author for easy browsing and discovering new titles.
• Check out system and book drop locations, so you can ready anywhere in the park. Links to download for your Kindle/e-reader for reading anywhere IRL.

Future plans:

• NPC's that read audio short stories / poetry in various locations across the map
• Secret doors that open when certain books are selected
• A goal of 12 famous library buildings, and 3 million browsable books
• A 'banned book' library
• Shelves for most popular and featured books for help finding new titles
• Achievement system and reading goals

Bonus feature if I finish everything else:

• Fill the park with an arboretum of real tree species, recreated in 3d to as close to reality as possible, all labeled for visitors to learn about and appreciate while they listen to their audio books.

Happy Reading!
