v0.1.0

A tiny 16-bit pixel-art club for your desk that dances to your music — and gently keeps your focus honest.

Real audio drives the crowd, the lights, and the DJ (a live FFT reads whatever's playing). It's also a cozy focus companion: it wakes when you're at your desk, grows a crowd as you work, and nudges you to take breaks. Rewards, never penalties. Everything runs on your machine — nothing leaves it.

Downloads

  • Windows — Desk Rave_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe: installs the desktop app (its own window, via WebView2). Saves locally.
  • Web build — desk-rave-itch.zip: the standalone static build. Unzip and open index.html, or host it anywhere (itch.io, any static host).

Highlights

  • Real audio-reactive visuals — one AnalyserNode drives the crowd, the LED wall, the lights, and the DJ.
  • 40 hand-drawn venues with real day/night.
  • A soundtrack that doesn't run dry — a bundled Creative-Commons library plus in-app Discover (more free CC music from the Internet Archive).
  • Presence detection, your way — keyboard/mouse (default), microphone, or webcam — all 100% on-device.
  • Cozy focus/break loop, unlockable venues, and a calm mode that hides the game layer.

Notes

  • The Windows app carries a placeholder icon for now.
  • All music is CC-BY / CC0 — every artist credited (see CREDITS.md).
  • No AI-generated art or music.
