Interactive book platform

About Forgeon

A new kind of book, AI translation across languages, and fair tools for authors worldwide.

Who we are

Forgeon is a web platform for interactive books and book games — stories where readers shape the plot, and authors build text, branches, media, and game-like mechanics in one browser-based editor.

We believe literature can be more than turning a page: choices, consequences, atmosphere, and character progression — the things players love, in a book-shaped experience.

Our company is Forgeon, Inc. We ship the product at forgeon.art for authors and readers — from draft in the editor to storefront, purchase, and online reading.

What the platform does

In Forgeon Creator, authors assemble pages and links, tune sound, images, RPG-style state (resources, items, time), and publish an approved snapshot to the catalog after moderation.

Readers open books in the browser on phone or desktop with saved progress; guests can start without an account, then move progress into a profile after sign-in.

What we’re building toward

1
A new format for books
We want books to feel genuinely exciting to read — not static text alone, but living narrative with branches, mood, and mechanics that keep you in the story.
2
Read and write across languages
Authors write in the language they prefer. Built-in AI translation support helps prepare versions for readers in other languages — so great stories can travel, and language is less of a wall between book and audience.
3
Work and income around the world
We believe strong storytelling in an interactive format is a skill people can build a livelihood on. Forgeon offers a storefront, tooling, and monetization so authors in many countries can reach readers and earn from their work.

Team

A few words from us personally — who does what, and why we started Forgeon.

Mark Maidanov

Марк Майданов

Founder · product engineering

Hi everyone — I’m Mark, the founder of Forgeon.

I designed and built almost the whole platform end to end: the interactive book editor, storefront, reader, progress and saves, the core branching and game-like mechanics, plus AI translation and everything around it. I want authors to have a serious, pleasant tool to build stories, and readers to get pulled into them.

Going forward, my focus is simple — keep improving the product so this book format on Forgeon keeps getting clearer and more accessible to people everywhere.

Co-founder · assets & social

Hey — I’m Timur, co-founder of Forgeon.

I lead assets in the author store — visual and supporting materials you can use to polish and grow a project. I also run our social channels: news about the platform, highlights, and conversations with people who care about interactive stories.

I believe strong visuals and community voice matter just as much as the tool itself — so I grow both sides.
