Final Devlog — LOST SIGNAL
And yeah… I think LOST SIGNAL is finally done.This project started as a simple idea for a puzzle website, but it ended up taking way longer than I expected. I built the pages myself with HTML and CSS, and then added JavaScript when I wanted the puzzles to actually react to what the player was doing.The first signal was probably the part I spent the most time messing around with. I had the code 18 - 5 - 4 - 24 , and the idea was that the numbers weren’t really numbers. After getting the first puzzle working, I added the wrong-attempt system, hints, and eventually the continue button that takes the player to the next part.Then came Signal 02.I wanted it to feel different from the first puzzle instead of just being another text box. The player has to use the numbers from Signal 01, find the right boxes, and then figure out what the message means. I also connected the later clues to my own website, which made the whole thing feel more like an actual trail instead of separate random puzzles.Honestly, I broke things a lot while making this.There were times when the CSS looked completely wrong, buttons didn’t look like buttons, pages didn’t match each other, and some of the JavaScript didn’t behave the way I wanted. I also kept changing small design things because I wanted the site to feel like something I actually made instead of a random template.The biggest thing I learned was that making a project isn’t just writing code until it works. A lot of the time was spent figuring out why something didn’t work, changing it, testing it again, and sometimes realizing that my first idea wasn’t even that good.I also got much more comfortable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript during this project. Before starting, I didn’t really understand how much the different parts of a website could work together. Now I can actually build a page, style it, add interactions and connect multiple pages into one project.LOST SIGNAL isn’t some huge game, but I’m genuinely happy with it because I made it myself and I learned a lot while building it.
So…SIGNAL LOST.
PROJECT COMPLETE. 
Thanks to everyone who helped me when I got stuck.
