Project Overview & Story
Arise Crossover Tools was created to help players of the Roblox game Arise Crossover keep track of periodic dungeons and events. The game featured a complex event system, and I wanted to build a platform that would make it easy for the community to stay informed and plan ahead.
The project grew into a sophisticated web app with real-time event tracking, a weapon price calculator, and Discord community integration. I also established partnerships with content creators and guild masters, which helped the community grow and shaped the direction of the project.

The Game That Inspired the Tools
Arise Crossover is a Roblox game developed by CL GAMES that features many different mechanics. The game includes periodic dungeons, special events like Raids and World Bosses, and a sophisticated system of weapons, shadows and relics (and more) that players can use to their advantage.
The game's dynamic event system, with constantly changing schedules, details and time-limitations, created the need for reliable tracking tools. This complexity and the active community's demand for better organization tools inspired the creation of Arise Crossover Tools.

From Discord Message to Live Event Card
The website was powered by a custom Discord bot that monitored the official game channels for new dungeon announcements.
When a new event was posted, the bot parsed the message, extracted relevant data (such as dungeon type, rank, map, and rooms), and sent it to the website in real-time via WebSockets.
Discord Message Reference
Example of a Discord message parsed by the bot
How it worked:
- The bot listened for new messages in the official game channel.
- It parsed the message content to extract event details.
- Structured event data was sent to the website via a WebSocket connection.
- The frontend received the data and rendered a new event card instantly, updating timers and details in real-time.
Companion Discord Bot Project
This website was powered by a sophisticated Discord bot that handled all the data ingestion and parsing. The bot was designed to work across multiple guilds and featured advanced message parsing capabilities.
View Discord Bot ProjectTechnical Implementation
1. Discord Bot & Data Ingestion
A custom Discord bot (Node.js, discord.js) monitors official channels, parses event messages, and transforms unstructured text into structured event data. The bot handles edge cases, message variations, and relays data to the backend in real-time.
2. Real-time Backend (WebSockets)
The backend (Node.js, ws) maintains persistent WebSocket connections with all clients, pushing new events and timer updates instantly. This ensures the UI is always up-to-date without manual refreshes.
3. Frontend (React + TypeScript)
The frontend is built with React and TypeScript, using state management and conditional rendering to display live event cards, timers, and calculators. Tailwind CSS provides a modern, responsive design system.
4. Deployment & Scaling
The platform is deployed on Vercel for fast, global delivery. CI/CD pipelines automate testing and deployment, ensuring reliability and quick iteration.
Technical Architecture
Discord Bot
Listens for new events, parses messages, and relays structured data.
Backend (WebSocket Server)
Receives event data, manages real-time connections, and pushes updates to all clients.
Frontend (React)
Renders live event cards, timers, and calculators with real-time updates.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Parsing Unstructured Data
Discord event messages varied in format and content, making reliable parsing difficult.
Solution: Developed robust regex-based and fallback parsing logic, with error handling and admin alerts for edge cases.
Challenge: Real-time Reliability
Ensuring all users received updates instantly, even during high-traffic events.
Solution: Used persistent WebSocket connections, heartbeat checks, and client reconnection logic for robust delivery.
Challenge: Community Growth & Feedback
Scaling the platform and adapting to the needs of a rapidly growing player community.
Solution: Established feedback channels, iterated quickly, and partnered with guild leaders/content creators for outreach.
Results & Impact
- 60+ community members used the platform during peak events.
- 100+ visitors registered interacting on the website.
- 1000+ dungeons/events tracked and displayed in real-time.
- Partnerships with top guilds and content creators.
- Positive feedback from users for reliability and ease of use.
The project became a central hub for the Arise Crossover community, streamlining event planning and fostering collaboration between players and guilds.
