This month I focus more on the visual side of the 3D Game Engine, I experiment with the engine, doing my best to figure out what it needs by recreating the ambiance of Silent Hill.

Jan - New Year, New Me

This month I talk about getting back into development for the 3D game engine, including creating website-like flash software.

I spent this month working out lower level details, including finalizing the Command Line and various other OS concepts like the overlay system, context menu, explorer, and more.

List Of Operating System Games

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This is a work in progress.

This is my comprehensive list of games that include a virtual operating system. The requirements for being on the list:

The operating system MUST be a major part of the game, it should represent at least half of the total gameplay. It cannot just be a gimmick. The Pip-Boy, from Fallout 3, NV, and 4 for example, does not count.
Operating system is a loose word, stylistic choice to visually represent an operating system is all that counts. I.E. - the author actually tried their best, and it resembles some form of an OS.
- For example, Emily Is Away 1 & 2 are on this list, but not 3.

If you want to contribute to this list, or submit your own game, please contact me.
