Building URoom — a room-based video/community hub for indie projects

Hey everyone,

I’m building URoom, a room-based video community platform, and I’m trying to see if it could be useful for Godot developers.

The idea is that a developer can create a dedicated room for their game and use it as a public hub for:

  • devlog videos

  • gameplay clips

  • trailers

  • update videos

  • archived progress

  • room chat with people following the project

Instead of everything being scattered across YouTube, Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit, and forum posts, a Godot project could have one room where its video history and small community live together.

Example:
https://uroom.co

I’m still improving it, so I’d really appreciate feedback from Godot devs.

Would something like this be useful for your game project?
What would it need before you’d consider using it?

Eh. I guess I’ll check it out when I get home.

Ok, I checked it out.

It just seems like discord with extra steps, less features, and even less potential for growth. Doesn’t seem worth it for Monkanics.

Thanks for checking it out.

Well, at least my attempt to not be discord worked.

I think you’re missing the point, it’s a video sharing community with rooms.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Ah ok. So instead of having a comments sections for an individual YouTube video, it’s for the entire channel.

I’m pretty sure YouTube now has a community feature too.

Yeah, although YT is more community posts, where URoom is a room chat.

URoom also has a comments section for videos.

Cool. I just think you need a stronger hook.

Maybe you could integrate other platforms, like displaying YouTube videos, Bluesky posts, etc in order to make people want to try URoom out.

It still embodies your vision, but makes it easier to get into. It change makes your website like a visual Linktree in a sense.

Also, maybe you should share your platform in Reddit and other places. The milage you’ll get on the forum is a great start, but you’ll have to go elsewhere to continue your growth.

Yes, this is a good feedback imo.

Stronger hook - URoom has got on-video comments (and in the process of implementing another video feature — I can’t mention it rn as it’s not quite finished). Unique video features and community building is what I hope users will note.

Other than game dev communities being made up of some very nice people, I wanted to show this to them because URoom is a very good fit for game devs archiving their progress and growing their communities around their games, hence why I posted here.
