That's a neat idea. Godot always seemed to be useful for more than just games, with the way it's structured. Would love to see more of GodotOS in the future :)
I'm looking at a lot of very wholesome and well intended comments about how it could be a very interesting and smooth OS, but I think we all are looking it at the wrong way.
Not only this project is another example of the capabilities of Godot as a perfect general software development framework (not only restricted to videogame development, but of course the main focus will always be that)...
But this open-source project gives us the perfect capability of easily including full-fledged desktop environments to our own projects! I would love to see this on other Godot projects where the terminals inside the game are diegetic and interactive (Like on Prey (2017), Doom, ULTRAKILL).
Since this is open-source, I wouldn't be surprised to see a fork of this developed into a fully-fledged operating system, similar to a Linux distribution. Godot's limits are being blown wide open and there's really no telling where its potential actually stops.
As a side note, an, "OS," like this would be a great home area, hub, or lore-friendly computer interface in a digital-based visual novel, investigative game, or point-and-click adventure game. Especially if miniature applications like functional text editors, configurable clocks and calendars were included for role-playing purposes. A light, functional desktop environment within a video game could revolutionize immersive simulation in gaming in pretty unexpected ways.
jesus, do the people on this site play any other kind of game that isn't a fnaf copy or some other type of indie horror, like hell they even got the freaking farm games for pit sake

Disinfection is a Godot game with diegetic interfaces like that
Wow, that's impressive !
Imagine programming in Godot on Godot OS

What if I told you I am going to do just that? I will use this as a base for a Desktop Environment.
How interesting, keep me updated on how it goes!
Will do! I would like to talk with you a bit more tho. Could you send me your discord or anything else?
Edit: I think I sent a friend request by accident. my discord is similar to my itch.io name
Intresting project love the the fact that it was made in godot,
:D 😃
bit boy my beloved
with how many different itch.io games i've played, it was a real surprise when I couldn't find a single horror aspect. Pretty fun.
itch.io users when they play other things that aren't horror games with cryptic lore

tbh once i clicked what i thought was a cute little game about baking and it turned into a horror game within like 5 minutes 😭
jesus, do the people on this site play any other kind of game that isn't a fnaf copy or some other type of indie horror, like hell they even got the freaking farm games for pit sake
theres visual novels too.
imagine google alllowed
that will be the end of Windows
Holy cow, amazing
WOW, very impressive!
This Year is the Year of GodotOS
best thing i have seen so far
"You cant just make a OS shell in a game engi-"
This was a pleasure to play. Super Bit Boy is an inspiration.
I love the idea and the design, I also enjoyed played Super Bit Boy -nice name hehe-, Keep up the good work!
Nice Idea. Like this desktop environment.
I can only iImagine a new version of "Uplink" with this. 💗
