This is because I’ll move onto running other games, one of which already is underway: Yggdrasill.Īt first glance Yggdrasill caters to a niche crowd, and I’m certainly a member of that company.

Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
