I've been writing them along side my game that I've been working on full time for almost a year now. I've published what I could for now, and I'll continue writing monthly posts.</p> <p>I'm working on a <strong>realistic horror inspired operating system simulation - with a 3D game built inside</strong>. This includes all of the expected programs, functionality, and more.</p> <p>I've had a lot of fun working on this project, so I'd like to start sharing it.</p> <p>One feature that I know will excite the modding community - I've included a way for developers to <strong>write their own programs in Lua</strong> - you can access either the <strong>command line API, GUI API</strong>, or the <strong>OpenGL API</strong>. - OpenGL is used for the wallpaper system, the command line and GUI are used for actual programs that can be ran within the game.</p> <p>It's still super early in development, so if this is something you are interested in helping shape, feel free to reach out!</p> <h2> Here's some media of the OS: </h2> <p><em>Please note, some assets shown are not the final version and will not be included in the release game</em></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhm0q8i7padsn31xavelp.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fhm0q8i7padsn31xavelp.png" alt="OS" width="786" height="523"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Faqjph4cwgo4p4o6460w2.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Faqjph4cwgo4p4o6460w2.png" alt="OS Theme 1" width="509" height="190"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ffx2mqh17twkdrram558c.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ffx2mqh17twkdrram558c.png" alt="OS Theme 2" width="784" height="491"></a></p> <h2> Here's some media of the 3D Game Engine: </h2> <p><em>Please note, some assets shown are not the final version and will not be included in the release game</em></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpzczqx37wxor4zzk5xjo.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpzczqx37wxor4zzk5xjo.png" alt="3D Game Engine" width="800" height="420"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3kis38rhzqyri7ij3i82.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F3kis38rhzqyri7ij3i82.png" alt="3D Game Engine Render" width="800" height="376"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0lrt5jmjzgb0ngkzbb24.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0lrt5jmjzgb0ngkzbb24.png" alt="3D Game Engine Render" width="408" height="216"></a></p> <p>If you would like to follow my development and read my past Dev Logs, you can follow it here - <a href="https://stealthisgame.com/dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://stealthisgame.com/dev/</a></p> indie gamedev pcgaming modding
