Developer Spotlight: Meet buildthomas

If you went to RDC 2018 in Amsterdam, you might’ve caught @buildthomas on stage with AlgyLacey, Ravenshield and Wsly, who all took part in the developer panel that took place just before the Game Jam! Buildthomas was also on the team that won Game Jam at RDC 2018 EU, with their game Split.

Buildthomas has been on the Roblox platform for 10 years, and is a member of the Community Champions program, as well as a Community Sage on this forum. Buildthomas recently localized his game, Wizardry II, into Spanish.

Buildthomas was inspired to translate his games because he himself speaks other languages than English. Buildthomas speaks Dutch, and as a kid, appreciated any games that were translated into Dutch. Buildthomas was also involved in the localization efforts to translate Egg Hunt 2018: the Great Yolktales. He’s extremely active on the Developer Forum and in Roblox’s Discord channels, and has had his game on the Roblox homepage in the “Featured” section. He also runs a Roblox QA group.
