Thank you everyroo who attended attended RooHall on Sunday to hear about our announcements and updates of Rooniverse leading up to the Alpha launch!
James Finley, Jpegmaxi, Melty, and Lynn ran 50 minutes of stacked info for all RooHub members and friends.
We touched on an upcoming transition in tech infrastructure, Alpha features with GTM plans, materials revamp, and the long-anticipated Experooments!For those who missed out, please request a recording from a community croo member in the roocord!
As promised, once we hit 20 attendees, RooHub unlocked a preview of the Rooniverse cinematic video WIP!
You can take a peek at it in the RooHall back recording also :3
Rooniverse gameplay started appearing in YouTube ads this week, thanks to our friends at Fractal!
Melty ran some unofficial community games for bug-testing that became sort of official. We found 5 bugs in total for the devs!
