Introduction thread for new forum members

Hi, I first found roblox in 2015 and loved it since, it has been a community constantly growing and I am proud to be a part of it and now the dev forum!

I started developing in late 2016 however as you can most likely expect the building in general was free models, until i started designing and building with meshes and from there I have progressed fully, I am currently on a project that allows me to build a map, and I think I have progressed so much.

Thanks
Josh

Hello TheShipArchitect - I hope you enjoy the DevForum! And welcome!

Hello. Well here goes my introduction.

Iā€™m JonVici, Iā€™ve been a member of the platform since ~2012. Just a casual player at the time and for quite awhile. for the past 3 years or so Iā€™ve been actively developing on and off since then. Iā€™ve managed to achieve around 8.8 Million visits, which might not be much, but something. I do a little bit of everything, Building, modelling, scripting although for GFX I would probably look into commissioning someone.

Thatā€™s all from me I suppose!

Hello everyone!

Iā€™m IamJamina. The first time I was introduced to Roblox, was back when I first entered middle school in 2009, I wasnā€™t really a faithful player but I and many of my classmates had Roblox accounts since it was a bit of a trend in my school. But after the end of my 7th grade year, I stopped playing and didnā€™t come back until 2012/2013. However, it wasnā€™t until I graduated from high school that I began creating in the Roblox community, professionally.

Iā€™m currently a Visual Developer on this platform, creating things such as:

  • Concept Art (Characters, Environment, Model Blueprints, etc) for pre-development
  • GUI Designs
  • Vectors for in-game assets and badges
  • Icons, Logos, Banners, and Ads
  • Texture Painting for Models and Skins

I have made contributions to studios like (Evolution Studios, Mocha Madness, and Dreamed Up Studios - currently) and I hope to learn more about the other elements that go into developing a game on Roblox and connect with developers, either if itā€™s to give advice on design hierarchy or to get advice on skills Iā€™m trying to learn.

I canā€™t wait to dive into this creative community!

I am Kiramclome, referred to Kiram or Kira or affectionately Kir.
I canā€™t really remember when I joined Roblox, it was 5 years ago. I do know that once I found Warrior Cats games, I fell in love. I kept seeing oh-so-many great games. I struggled because I had countless other interests. At the point of writing this post, Iā€™m inexperienced. My goals are to get better at my current ā€˜talentsā€™ and learn something new. Iā€™ve always wanted to make Shyfoox-level Warrior Cats rp games.
I think Iā€™m just good at art and smooth terrain. Iā€™m trying to get better with models. Iā€™m extremely inexperienced in both life and Roblox development. I ask for understanding.

Thank you for reading.

  1. I found ROBLOX through an advertisement on a website.
  2. I was playing around on a few roblox games just wondering what sort of things I could bring to the table in development, so then I started reading into the roblox wiki to know how to script and build and then gradually over time I began to learn new things.
  3. My current goals on the platform is to bring a player base to my game and to provide players with a great experience in games Iā€™m currently developing.
  4. I lean towards the building side but I do profess in scripting as well, I did 4 years of building/scripting so mainly a builder.
  5. It has been my dream to be accepted into the dev forums and Iā€™m really grateful to be added into the team <3

Hello! I found ROBLOX through their ads on YouTube at around 2010-ish. Initially, I joined in for clans until 2012 is when I started playing with graphic designing! Right now, my goal is to be able to have my art shown on the front page and along with that improve my art as much as I can with the capabilities of my computer. As of now, I am a graphic designer that specializes in thumbnails, icons, badges as well as UI. Also, I am half-Japanese and can speak Japanese conversationally.

Appreciated to be here!

    I build, mainly survivor things (like the tv show haha), since I do some work for 2 survivor groups. If yer wanna check out some of my builds below

  1. Hey, my name is AlausSamus and I found Roblox through a friend in 2011. Searched up ā€œRoblocksā€ like and idiot and found it a year late worth of searching.

  2. I got started with development, specifically building, by watching the almighty Alex Newtronā€™s tutorials.

  3. I plan to get better in building, scripting, and UI design. Lua is a pain sometimes, but the crop is worth it!

  4. I am an Intermediate builder, based heavily in the ancient genre. I do very poor clothing, lol, and am stepping my foot into Lua as well.

  5. Itā€™s great to be here! Thanks for having me!

Hello I am Knrkar, I found roblox through my cousins when I was very young, than I got into making ā€œfunā€ zombie games for my friends and I to play. I got more and more interested in the dev side of Roblox as more tools came out and it became faster and more flexible to create stuff. My current goal is to just make something fun that I can play with my friends and hopefully some other people will enjoy. Iā€™m trying to learn scripting, but since Iā€™m alone I have to make very primitive builds to work with. I am very excited to finaly be able to use these fourms.

Hello, Iā€™m Fxdent, Iā€™ve been playing Roblox since 2013 and Iā€™ve been building since 2015.

I was searching for video games to play and I found Roblox. I originally played a lot of building games and eventually discovered Studio and built places there. Over the years I became more experienced but I still think thereā€™s more to learn. To be specific, I want to learn how to script as well as become an even more experienced builder. Iā€™m happy that now the Developer Forum will be here to help me in reaching these goals.

Iā€™m glad to be here!

Hello,
-I am ItsByskyWrecker and I am a new member of the DevForum and so excited to talk/meet/work with you people. :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:
-Basically, I met Roblox by watching DanTDM three years ago and I used to enjoy watching his Roblox content. :joy:
-When I was younger is I used to be a be jealous of people who had games on the front page. So I decided to have one my self. And I kept going till this day. :relaxed:
-My goal is to have a game on the front page for at least 24h.
-I am most likely a builder but I can do basic animation and UI. I am very bad at scripting and GFX. :roll_eyes:
-I am not American so if I have a bad spelling excuse me for that.:sweat_smile: , and if I ever get hired by anyone I just need him to know that I am a serious person when it comes to developing a game.
Hope to create a game with people I enjoy that!
Note: if I did something wrong on the devforum please let me know. Thanks

Hi, its nice to finally be a part of the dev forum!
ā€¢ I first found out about Roblox through my friends when I was only 12 or so, however I only got back into it recently.
ā€¢ First thing I really did in development was building but then I branched out to more things and now I do concept art / graphic design and modelling.
ā€¢ I hope to become a successful and well-known figure of roblox.
ā€¢ As said before I am a builder and modeler but mainly an artist.

Hi! Iā€™m flaxmy and I found Roblox while browsing games on the internet when I was about 9. I recently made a new account just because I didnā€™t like my old username.
