Hey!

It's been close to a year since the last major update on Computer Simulation Template and the genre Fake OS is booming! When I created this tool, the genre didn't even have an official name but after a big vote within the community Fake OS won! I had hoped for computer simulation myself, but what are you gonna do?

So, are there any features you miss? More built-in software, more in-depth guides, a video tutorial or anything else? I would love to give you guys a great update, without risk of bloating it by adding features you don't want. 

Thanks for checking out this tool! I really hope you're making some amazing games out there. 

How the hell did you create this in HTML5 GameMaker? It's incredible. I seriously want to know.

This is just amazing.

This game deserves more attention. When are you planning a full release? 

Hey,

Sorry about your mom. I hope she'll get back on her feet.

A lot of the stuff I publish are free, but I've decided to charge for this since I provide support to the buyers. I wouldn't be able to do that if this was a 100% free product.  

Just have to give this some praise once again. I played it two months ago, but I still think about it daily. 

Hey! I love 1BitDragon, and I use it for every track in my upcoming game. Any news on Megablast? 

Go ahead! 

been a mac user since macintosh 128k, but $100 every year to just release a dumb fish game isn’t cool

glad you like it!

this was such a great experience. I played it on my Steam Deck and it worked without any issues. Loved this game!

Just to illustrate that you can decrease the opacity of the game, so you can still see the screen behind it. To, for instance, watch YouTube.

Didn't spend much time building this page, haha. Might have to make some improvements. 

edit: Rebuilt the page.

I don’t think so. A developer account needed to build software for Mac is $100 a year, and I just went on my paternity leave lol

Wonderful, thanks a lot!!

Hi, I just purchased this font and have the same issue as you. Would you mind sharing your altered version? It would save me a lot of trouble. 

My email is petter.malmehed@gmail.com, and I can PayPal you $5 for the trouble. 

Hi! That would be great!!!

When you’re in the game, press T to write a comment. This will also make it easier to find bugs, since I also get your seed and similar stuff. 

Hi!

There are actually two rooms in this template. First, there's the rDesktop. That's the game! But there are also a room called rInit, that initializes everything and then send the player to rDesktop. If you want to change the room size, you need to change it in both rInit and rDesktop. Also, since this template uses viewports, you need to adjust that as well. Go to the settings in rDesktop and change the width and height of Viewport 0 to 1280 and 720. Remember to use 1280 and not 1300, since template uses pixel fonts. They don't scale well to odd numbers. 

This should resolve the issue!

I really love your fonts! Gonna buy this one here, and hope that Urban, Bacteria, Vest, Tape, Passage and Fear will be in a bundle soon enough. Those are the only ones I'm missing!

Great that you got it working! I’ll make sure to add that instruction in the description 

Hey! I’ll make sure to help you out.

It seems like you’re on an old version of Gamemaker that doesn’t support GMAudioGroup v1, and that the template tries to convert it to v0. I can downgrade my runtime and export a file that works, if you don’t want to upgrade. What version of Gamemaker are you using?

The lastest version includes Pong, with instructions on how to create your own software inside a window. Thanks for the tip!

The CRT shader is a free asset from the Gamemaker marketplace.  You just have to throw it in, and draw the game surface within it. 
Would you like me to add more visual effects in a future update?

That sounds dope! Haven't heard anyone mention Mercenaries Playground of Destruction for like 20 years. I would love to see your game when you're ready.

Cool! Please do, there a lot of room to fill in the genre. 

I've never used Godot myself. I picked an engine about ten years ago, and just stuck to it.

Fixed in the new version!

Hey! Have you had time to look at this yet? 

Oh, I didn’t consider that! I’ll make sure they do in a patch. The text just needs to be drawn on a separate surface and drawn in parts. 

Yo this is really cool. I'm really impressed with your use of shaders to do the smooth drawing. I've tried to create drawing softwares in the past, but it's always been a headache. Well done!

Thank you, I will make sure to explain how to add your own content in a new tutorial!

I'll take a look into the beta. A beta version of a software is just a beta version, though. It might be changed and updated before being properly released,  and a few bugs might be caused by the beta itself since it's by definition not a stable version. I never work in beta versions myself, for that reason. 

Of  course! I often create games within the games. You can add whatever you'd like in the windows. Here's a few examples from my games.

Hey,
I’m working hard on a new version of this asset. It will be much easier to use, have sizeable windows, scroll bars and more cool stuff! It will hopefully be out later this month. Let me know if you’re missing some additional feature I should add. 

Later!

hahaha ”a few months” 💀

The numbers in the list are important as well! 

If you get real stuck, you can always check the walkthrough 

Have you reached the text ”I SEE YOU has changed and flipped around”? Head into the I SEE YOU icon and click on the correct letters once again. I C U, to unlock the fifth book.

Hey! So, apparently someone who liked the game has... fixed it? Someone has added the lost clue online, and now it works! I'm flabbergasted. 

Maybe, but it would take quite a lot of work on a game I quickly threw together for a game jam. Not really sure the game is decent enough to spend a few weeks to fix?

Is it a bug that it didn't unlock? Have you opened the 5th book without it unlocking?

Wait, you got Steam achievements here on itch?

(80085 will do the trick, I'll update to include 8008135 in the next patch)

Amazing! If that’s the case, I’ll buy every single one of your fonts. They are perfect 👌 

Hey! The fonts in this bundle are great for localization!
However, this one, Candy, Equipe and Match doesn't have characters for Polish. Do you have any plans of updating them, or are these the final versions?
