Current state
What's playable now, where the limits are, and how to join in.
Shipped
Stardust now has a four-family ship garage, custom builds in ranked runs, weekly time trials with ghosts, friend challenges and tunable controls. Five circuits and private Dogfight rooms are ready to play. BetterFingers Alpha 3 has its signed Windows installer.
Boundary
These are early builds. Dogfight is browser-hosted, so connection quality matters. Three-player matches are casual. Stardust leaderboard times are checked for plausibility, not verified by replay.
Join in
Build a ship and fly a run, try the weekly track, or send a friend your full-network challenge. Sign in before flying to put your time on the board.
Why underplain exists
Useful software should respect your time, your machine, and your choices.
underplain is my home for free software: practical tools released with their status, limits, source, and evidence visible.
Building freedom starts with small, useful things: less tedious work, fewer unnecessary subscriptions, and more control over your data and decisions.
Play it. Test it. Improve it.
The most useful support right now is real play, real use, and reproducible feedback.
- Fly a Stardust run, then send the leaderboard to a friend who thinks they're faster.
- Try the Kingdoms & Caravans playtest and tell me where the city stopped making sense.
- Start with BetterFingers and read the alpha boundaries before installing.
- Report reproducible BetterFingers problems on GitHub without attaching private transcripts or recordings.
- Follow the source and the rest of the work on GitHub.
