This is totally awesome! I immediately start imagining ways to increase immersiveness and I have a couple ideas.
It would be cool if the light level was proportional to the degree of verified knowledge on a topic, so darker implied more mystery. This could be pulled from amount of information, number of edits or links etc.
It would also be super cool to add wear and tear to the environment based on whether the page needs editing.
I would love to see procedurally generated architectural details that were thematically appropriate to the topic. Maybe this could be done by scraping keywords to determine which major category of knowledge the page belongs to, ie add plants to rooms on botany
Anyways, it's amazing as is, but I can't help imagining. Thank you for the incredible experience!!
This is an amazing way to navigate a collective repository of knowledge like wikipedia, giving it a physicality that makes finding and engaging with the information all the more enjoyable.
Also *(thanks to the custom article terminal in the lobby) I will be spending many hours playing “Six degrees of Kevin Bacon” in it.
This is incredible! Had a thought for future maybe: TTS buttons that read the exhibits, like some museums have. Or even a setting that will read when you approach and the sound direction comes from the article, so if you walk away it trails off. Regardless, thank you for this project! <3
This is now implemented and will be in the next release! Because of work from the community it will include Portuguese, French, Spanish, and maybe others :)
Using Wikimedia Commons gallery pages for extra images to put in the museum is a great solution.
Have you considered generating rooms in the museum based on Wikipedia outlines or indexes? Perhaps a special room with card-catalogue looking shelves or something? Although, being basically special kinds of lists, the outlines and the indexes aren't very visually appealing...
Wikipedia also has portals, but most of them are half-dead and unmaintained, so I don't recommend using them.
P.S. Linux version works well for me. P.P.S. It would be great if the version of the game was shown somewhere in the menu.
I love wandering around this museum. The only complaint I could level is that there occasionally gets the same picture on the wall twice next to each other.

i wonder about if there can be another game all about exploring tv tropes wiki as a walkable museum

Great idea! It would be really cool to have the option to choose the source language of the texts.
please 🙏

Not working on my computer (Linux version). Starts, then coredumps after several seconds, never goes past the title screen.
do your graphics drivers support vulkan?
looks awsome but godot keeps on killing itself each time i open the gam
can you ensure that your graphics drivers support vulkan?
What a wonderful work! The atmosphere of the building is quiet and calming, which is really nice.
And I heard that there are plans for multiple languages in the future, so I am really looking forward to it. meow~!😸
