Rooms.xyz BETA — Create interactive rooms in your browser

Hey everyone! 👋 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 🫶.

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!

I love this platform – I was lucky enough to be able to try & build something prior to the BETA release & the user experience is amazing. I used it to build my room, decorated with various props that hyperlink to relevant websites. It's an amazing conversation starters, and just a great thing to share with friends and other people who want to get to know you. Its a way to build something that captures your 'vibe' and being able to communicate your personality to others within seconds. One note is that it's heavy on your processors (I have the M2 Max, so I don't have any problems, but i5 chips struggle with it). If you wanna see my room: https://rooms.xyz/marcelo/bedroom

I'm on Spirit Airlines 🥁 They're charging 4️⃣ for a Coke Zero But this ✨ 💎 This product just made my day It loaded fast ⚡️ Despite the wifi 🗑️ being on the slower side*** I teleported 🕳️ from room to room Defended a room from invaders with great music 🎶 And started building a room 🚪 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.)

Woah this is dope — way to make 3D super accessible in terms of creation; while keeping sharing front and center 🔥

As a voxel artist who knows nothing about coding, I can tell Roomxyz is a must-try for everyone interested in voxel art and coding. I had so much fun learning to write simple code to make my voxel room more lively. This is a fun tool and very easy to use.

this is awesome!! cant wait to get in there and build

This is siiiiiiick. Way to make awesome things team Things!

Congrats on the launch! This is so exciting and can't wait to play with it more

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 🙌

🔥🙌 Well polished idea with near perfect implementation. Great use of isometric art styles and various colors. Congratulations on the launch.

this is so cool and im jealous I didn't have this as a kid.

Looks very cool. I like that everything is editable. What age do you think this is for?

Played around with Rooms a bunch as a "consumer" of rooms and frankly, haven't had such a delightful experience with a game-like product for a while. The overall experience is incredibly polished, I love clicking through and finding easter eggs, and some of the game-oriented rooms are genuinely fun and addicting. Personally - I'm excited/curious to see how this evolves. Think it would be an awesome game for kids to help them learn how to code and build worlds a-la Minecraft, or (selfishly) I want to see more games and puzzles built out so I have more to play!

Love the little mini-worlds you've created with Things - it's super delightful and accessible to use! Go team 🎉

Cool concept! Looks neat

Very interesting idea and great realization. There are a lot of design possibilities, you can use your imagination. I can imagine doing something like this as an online team event, just to talk to people in a playful way while designing your own room.

I LOVE the idea and design! So creative and refreshing. It makes my day, thanks :-)

Does it support light effects? (for example coming from lamps!)
