Had this idea some time ago when the Steam Machine was announced. A little CRT screen (faked with a flat display) as a faceplate for the Steam Machine. 🤣 Would be pretty funny to play our fake OS game "Enter the kOS" on that. 😆

In kOS you can flip windows on its backside. There you kinda hack certain functions of the window and exchange some resources.😅 On the top you can discover how the title bar buttons work. Closing is TNT🧨, gears handle scaling and maximizing ⚙️, minimizing is a pocket dimension device 🌀.

🎮✨ We’re excited to announce that our team will be part of the "Lange Nacht der Computerspiele" in Leipzig on May 10 2025. This is the first time you can try out our new game "kOS"! 💥 See you tomorrow! computerspielenacht.htwk-leipzig.de/nav/startsei...

The first window is our little piano application, which will be able to record your masterpieces. 🎼😎 You can also equip it with new sounds you'll find in the game. 🙂 The second one is the calculator, which is pretty self-explanatory. 😅 The last one shows a little animation for our drop-down menus. 😁

This is the "Fame Toy", a program in our game where you can actually play small games. Later in the game, it will become some sort of hacking device. 😆 Because it's a window, you can obviously resize it and enjoy "widescreen gaming". 🤣

In the coming weeks, I will post all the program windows you can use and play with in our game. First is the record player window which can play the music that you'll find throughout the game. 🎵🎺☺️ Scratch that record like a real DJ! 😎 Music: Paolo Pavan - "Blue Night Dance"

Years ago we started a passionate game project named kOS (can be spelled as chaos). kOS is puzzle game inside a fictional operating system, which has its own unique and unexpected rules. We are excited to work on kOS fulltime from now on as we got funded by Press Start: Gründungsstipendium Games.
