I built a fan-made tools hub for Universal Tower Defense players

I shipped a small fan-made tools site for Roblox Universal Tower Defense players: Universal Tower Defense Tools.

The goal is practical rather than flashy: put codes, tier list notes, value references, calculators, updates, and redeem guidance in one lightweight browser hub.

Why I built it

For Roblox game communities, information tends to be scattered across wiki pages, Discord messages, YouTube comments, Trello boards, and game-update posts. That makes it hard for a player to answer simple questions quickly:

  • Which codes are active or expired?
  • Where should I check update notes?
  • How should I compare units, values, or upgrade costs?
  • What source was used for a piece of game data?

This first version is a small SEO and UX experiment: can a focused fan-made utility page be clearer than another long article page?

What is inside the first version

  • Codes and expired-code tracking
  • Tier-list and value reference pages
  • Calculator-style helper pages
  • Update and redeem-code guidance
  • Source notes and fan-made disclaimers
  • No login, no payment, no Roblox account collection

What I am watching next

The next useful signal is not pageviews alone. I want to see whether players actually use the utility pages:

  • code copy clicks
  • calculator interactions
  • clicks from codes to tier/value pages
  • repeat visits after game updates
  • correction requests when data is stale

Feedback welcome

If you build SEO tools, game utilities, or fan-made resources, I would like feedback on one question:

Should this kind of site lead with the codes page, or should the homepage act as a broader tools hub first?
