Rooms lets you create games + interactive experiences from your browser. No download necessary. Every thing you see is editable and scriptable. And best of all, itโs free :-).
Hey everyone! ๐
Nick, Bruno and I are excited to introduce you to Rooms.xyz -- a platform for creating 3D games and experiences in your browser. This product is a labor of love, driven by what we wish we had when we were kids.
Rooms is a sandbox-y 3D platform where every thing is editable:
1. you can add any thing you want from our built-in library, or upload a .vox
2. change individual things with the built-in voxel editor
3. make things interactive with Lua code
Game creation+remixing is the most obvious use case, but we think this has potential far beyond that. For instance:
- You can use it to learn how to code, both by viewing the "source" of any room, and by changing code and seeing the effects instantly.
- You can use it to make animated videos with the built-in Camera mode. Each room essentially becomes a set and the Things, props.
- You can use it for interactive storytelling, connecting multiple rooms.
We've also integrated ChatGPT to make virtual characters come to life, included a free sound effect library, and more. There's so much Rooms can do and we're so excited to see what y'all make of it ๐ซถ.
Rooms.xyz is an interesting and engaging way to build, learn, and share. Creating a room is fun and simple to do, but the creative possibilities are endless. Great job rooms team! it's been a blast so far and can't wait to build more rooms!
Wow, I love this product from the idea to the execution! It's very refreshing and well-made.
Had a great moment going through the onboarding then experimenting with existing rooms and the room creator.
Congratulations from a fellow 3D web developer ๐

But this โจ
๐ This product just made my day
It loaded fast โก๏ธ
Despite the wifi ๐๏ธ being on the slower side***
I teleported ๐ณ๏ธ from room to room
Defended a room from invaders with great music ๐ถ
And started building a room ๐ช of my own
Could design new widgets for all types of commerce like branded virtual offices. This is super exciting. Good luck keeping up with the integration asks. Seems like you're designing/enabling entirely new calls-to-action.
I've been friends with @jasontoff for many years now, and he's one of the most creative and kind people I know.
I've had the chance to play with Rooms during the development, and it's been so fun seeing it go from early prototypes to the rich sandbox it is today. The team really cares about their craft, about making something delightful and simple and playful and fun. I'm excited to see it open for signups and to discover the rooms that people create.
(I'm a small investor in the company, so don't take my word for it. Go play with it yourself.)
Loved the video, high production but also very human. Love the voxel style. The rooms.xyz design looks very cozy, what's the most exciting use case do you see for rooms.xyz?
@between_team I donโt think itโs the biggest use case, so not sure weโll prioritize it, but I think the idea of letting anyone make a Pixar-esque short video is wild
