moth cooling off

sketchy doodle of an anthro moth. she's leaning back against a brick wall, stretching one of her legs up and grabbing her heel with her hand. she's wearing a tanktop, some jorts, and running shoes; and is drinking from a cup of assorted beverage, through a bendy straw. she's staring at the viewer with a perceptibly annoyed expression.

color drawing of ribbit, from the amazing digital circus — a tall, green anthro frog with a lighter-green countershaded torso, eyelashes, and a red bow tie. she's taking a leisurely stroll through an orange park, with leaves falling around her.

even just the initial transfer was smooth enough to make me confident in their service. happy to have made the leap now!

plus i guess this is more of an ICANN thing, but i do enjoy that my remaining time with namecheap carries over as well. i got a b-b-b-bonus years' worth of registry alongside my transfer, but the three months i still had left over there carry too. nice!

got my web-service transferred to porkbun and i'm kind of stunned honestly. took upwards of 45 minutes and i'm paying half as much for a renewal as i was about to be paying on namecheap (after the second projected price increase in about two years' time)

rae @rae.wtf · 20h

i have not! whats it like?

i still can't stress how good procreate dreams is honestly; even for frame-by stuff like this it's just such a peak software. i'll sing its praises forevermore also the antennae are kinda giving caramelldansen in hindsight. sorry

quick patch for HEXA just went live! nothing huge, just patching up a couple bugs. i've had it in the queue for a while now and was just like. "oh my god i need to get on with it" you can see what's changed here: rae.wtf/manuals/hexa... live now on itch and steam — in playdate catalog soon! xoxo

hello! all the rest of my #playdate titles are now on sale in catalog, until 09.30.2026! 🔼 HEXA is half-off! 🔄 labsylle for its lowest price yet! ✨ all-star catalog titles for just $3! go check out what's available! play.date/games/studio... (...also, go wishlist my new thing ;P play.date/g/pesto)

Photo of Rae's Playdate Catalog games — Labsylle, Cloudburst, Mission LunaTrix, Traffic Jam, Bona Fido, HEXA, and First in... Line? are all spotlit at full opacity. The other titles are grayed out with notes, because they're not on sale — RowBot Rally 2 reads "you should wishlist this one :)", Rae's Solitaire reads "this one's not out yet"; and RowBot Rally reads "you just missed this one being on sale".

mhm! without the whole falling-block-iness (though i only found out about dialhex when i first showed the game to other people, and they went "ooh this is a lot like dialhex" LOL)

010

this wasn't for the falling block jam, but crossniq was definitely one of my inspirations when i made a puzzly game of my own hahah

i've been once before — they've got like merch!! plushies and stuff. it's kinda awesome

i just wanted to make the cheap moth joke 💖 but honestly yeah even in like shows as a kid the time share was always framed as this Stupid thing LOL

Meep(le), fun game! :D Love the nature of "Pipe Dream, but you loop up meeples and only pieces in a loop disappear" as it caused me to do stuff like planning ahead for my next captures, and even making 2x2 loops to stall for a piece I needed! Also it's giving old flip phone game vibes (positive) 💙💙

thank you !! 💖 i'm very happy with what i was able to get done, especially with the time i had

rae @rae.wtf · 28/09/2026

pushed a v1.0.1 patch just shy of the jam's end time! the game now has an in-depth statistics menu, a more even randomization of blocks, and oodles of bug fixes. read up about what's new: rae.wtf/manuals/loop... and try the game out on your PC or PD! it's freeeeee~! raewtf.itch.io/loop-lariat

comprehensive vid of my #fallingblockjam game so far — tonight...music! SFX! some menus! and more visual JUICE!! also, you can't see it, but i made the itch page and it looks real nice. still a lot to do, and there's just over 24 hours left...now let's see if i can wrangle myself some caffeine. 🤠

portmaster.games/detail.html?... shortly after i published my 1st PC game, a couple folks had put it up on portmaster; which apparently makes it run a lot more easily on linux handhelds as such? i don't have any personal experience, but it was pretty cool to see pics of it on stuff like the ayn thor

(on a sidenote: i love that the lua-to-steamworks bindings library has copilot contributions in it /s 🥴 i went back and used a like-three-year-old version of the library, with a matching like-three-year-old version of the steamworks SDK, just to make absolutely sure.)

for my game i popped a little thing in the copyright info — it's probably not the beeest descriptor for the specific stupid kind of generativeness as such? but i also don't want 'AI' key-worded on my page lol

This game doesn't contain the outputs of any generative algorithms.

progress on my #fallingblockjam game — different backgrounds for potential 'time', 'marathon', and 'vs' modes

Screenshot of a puzzle game. The backdrop is a wide plain on the wild west, with a cactus in view, and some mesas sprawled out over an open blue sky.

Screenshot of a puzzle game. The game's being played against a wooden table at a saloon, with an overhead view of a drink on a coaster lining one of the corners. (I can't speak to whether or not the drink is alcoholic in nature.)

Screenshot of a puzzle game. In contrast to the last two images, this screen has room for two — two game board grids, and separate blocks/scores. The backdrop is the double-doorway of a saloon, perfectly framing each game board.

apparently there are tools that let you put up a löve game in the browser — i wanna try to look into it once i've got this jam game ready, to make it as accessible as possible given the setting. generally the link between PD and löve is rly easy, even if it's a manual transfer to a separate codebase

in short: the playdate SDK and LÖVE2D are *frighteningly* similar — so, i wrote a buncha wrapper functions for common actions, plus custom build processes that change the assets and the build target on-the-fly. it's very bespoke, but works great! some related source code: github.com/raewtf/labsy...

(the GIF above is on #playdate, but it can run on the computer as well!)
