Until next time!!

“Find her” - Mystery detective game made for the WebOS mission

Background info

Hiii, it’s been a while. So I took a break from this project cause I didn’t really enjoy working on it. I ended up making a whole different project, (“Productive”, go check it out!) just to distance myself from this project. Anyways, I finally decided to finish this project 😛.

New look!

• New background
  - It’ll probably change in the future, but I’m happy with it for right now (tho I’ll need to make it darker cause it’s too bright)

• New color scheme
  - Pink, and pink, and pink, and a dash of red

New features + other new additions

• New app!
  - Stacy’s diary/notes
  - It’ll be finished by the next devlog!

• Organized my code/added comments + notes

Appreciation section

Soooo, the reason I stopped working on this project was because I could get the windows to come to the top when clicked. I didn’t really understand what the guide was explained so I was just stuck.

A few days ago I stumbled upon @Mokila ‘s WebOS (which is super cool it’s called “EpochOS” if you wanna check it out!). I checked out their code and decided to try out their z-index code to see if it would work for me, and it did!!!

Thank you Mokila for your awesome project, you’re goated. You’re literally the reason why I feel motivated to continue working on this project!!!!

What’s next

I want to ship this project so I can move onto WebOS 2 and begin writing and working on the actual mystery aspect.

I’m going to make 2 apps and make some aesthetic/visual changes before shipping

• Calculator app
• Paint app
• Finish making the diary/notes app

I’m so happy to be returning to this project

FindingHerOS 1
.
This devlog is moreso to document the before of the website before I add the wallpaper and include right colors scheme.
My first app is going to be a notes app/diary app that includes all of Stacy’s thoughts/feelings and hints on how to complete the mystery.
.
What I’ve done so far:
-Added a top bar with working timer
-Added instructions pages (will be longer in the future)
.
Coding this has been a struggle, but I’m enjoying the process so far.
Anyways, have a good day!

FindingHerOS 1

After a lot of struggling, I managed to make the instruction window draggable. After I make one or two apps, I’m going to focus on the aesthetics of the WebOs.

Finding HerOS 1

FindingHerOS is about you, the player, going through your old classmate’s, Stacy’s, computer to uncover the secrets behind her disappearance.

Backstory: I always found these type of puzzle/mystery games interesting (ex. Sarah is Missing, Simulacra, Scrutinized). So instead of making a portfolio style WebOs, I decided to make a mystery puzzle game!

The OS only has the welcome screen, background, and time bar so far. It’s taking me a while since this is my first time coding, so I’m taking it step-by-step.

Future apps/mechanics:

A notes app- Full of Stacy’s ideas, feelings, etc.
A working gmail app
A social media app- similar to Insta
A video app with (hopefully) working videos
A files app
And more!
