My name is circle_r and I am new to the forums. I have been a professional programmer for a long time and when some friends started playing Roblox about a year ago, I decided to try it with them. I am currently picking up Lua and Roblox Studio and am working on my first adventure game. I loves games that have exploration and deep questing systems, so I will try to bring all of that to this platform. I have found these forums to be filled with valuable information and I am impressed at the talent level of many of you. I look forward to being an active member.
Iāve found Roblox on a very fun way. I was searching for an āapp builder platformā. Iāve found the developer page in the search results on Google. Then Iāve installed Roblox Studio and developed with the Toolbox. A few days later, Iāve seen that Roblox isnāt a 3D build software, itās a game platform!
A long time I had not developed, until I came in contact with a very nice Roblox user, @marketmanager1. He asked me in the Roblox chat if I knew something about scripting. That was the first time I was looking at scripts.
Now, Iām experienced with rLua engineering. My goal is to create advanced systems for non-developers. Further, Iām also selling technical services and maintaining my favourite game, the Training Center from Main Server Guard. (Because Iām not experienced with making games directly to users by myself, I work with @marketmanager1, as we stay strong due the collaboration in development.)
Iām the most experienced and always learning further in the Engineering part (also known as āscriptingā). Iām teaching myself in the UI field. Iām not experienced in UI design, I really want to learn UI design. Engineering + UI = Enough for games (that are UI based) and modules.
Using the Roblox Devforum, Iāve got many information regarding interesting functions, scripts, UI design and more fantastic work! Keep up the great work at the community!
Greetings! This is me saying hello and i just want to say itās a pleasure to be apart of the Developer Forum!
Over the past couple months I started to take scripting lessons and I would say I enjoy it a lot and am starting to get more creative with my ideas, I wouldnāt of started scripting if it wasnāt for my friend he kinda got me into it so all thanks to him. I have goals to progress in the scripting community and become a decent developer here on Roblox. I am very interested in the SCP Genre and spend quite some time on it.
I started Roblox back in 2010 when advertisements for the game appeared everywhere. I didnāt even know of the studio feature until 3 years later. In the beginning, it was the hardest tool Iāve ever used in my life because before Roblox Iāve never worked with anything to develop on, like Unity or Blender. So when I started using it, the building is what I focused on the most and thatās what Iāve been focusing on since.
I began developing as one of those people who used the toolbox for most of the time for making a game. Then sometime in 2013, I had a hit game where you survive underground from monsters and over time obviously that general idea has been overused by now. The game was very free modeled and being that itās my most visited game to this day, I donāt like it per se. Itās not the best work to show because since then Iāve learned the platform, the people on it and what I had to do to make a good playable game. Itās not best work lets keep it at that.
Things Iāve accomplished on the platform basically have changed what was my life before into something completely different. Iāve gotten to know loads of new people and have made new friends and still making them. Friends are what I wanted to get out of using Roblox but my goals have expanded since then and now I want to do more.
My role in the developer community will always be a builder. Iāve done some programming in my life but itās not the thing that Iāll be dedicating my time to learning a lot about. Everything from building to lighting to making a game/world that people will enjoy is what I do.
How did you find Roblox?
I honestly donāt rememberā¦ How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I donāt remember alot of things. Current goals/achievements on the platform
To create games others can enjoy What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
Programmer.
My main development account is Indent_Games, I just like to keep things separate.
I have played Roblox since 2014.
I found Roblox through a Swedish Youtuber called STAMSITE.
I started scripting in Roblox Lua around 2015.
I can do basic building too.
I have wanted to join the Devforum for a long time now and i finally got in
Hello, iām new at rbxfrum and wanting to leaning and getting news from rbxfrum
I am Rxztr but everyone called me Tar or Gtar iām joined to Roblox member in 2016 and starts to development and leaning in 2016 iāve achievements to make Phaklai on Popular game page in 1 day lol iām a good builder than programmer.
Iām glad iāve been ranked to āNew Memberā on the Devforum and that iām feeling like a part of this community right now.
Iāve found Roblox because of my friend back in 2014, thatās when i joined. About a year later i started developing games which were not that great at that time. My main goal is to keep working on my games and to keep improving them. Most of the time i program since i think iām the best at it out of building, UI Design etc.
I found Roblox when my brother was playing it on his phone a few years ago. I downloaded the application on my phone and stuck with the game for 5 years. I got into developing when I was inspired by so many scripters/builders. I practiced almost everyday when I was free and went on from there. My goal on the platform is to make a featured game with many people playing. My role on the developer community is Builder. Last thing I want to say is that I am very honored to be in this group with many other developers. I am happy to have worked very hard to reach this part.
I found roblox through a commercial on my TV. This was around 2014, when I was around 8 or 9 years old, and I immediately got really interested in the game.
Took me a while to get in to studio, but when I did I focused on building and basic scripts. Today I develop for some groups as a builder. Itās really fun to see what youāll make next.
Iāve known about dev forum for months, but it was just I couldnāt find time to spend on it. I only really visited it when really important things happened, like the FE update. But now Iām able to dedicate time to here and am honored to become a new member.
How did you find Roblox? Well, I was one of the first generations of players on Roblox, yet my account shows I am more new than old, but I have been around since the Roblox-Facebook little ages, when Roblox looked like Facebook, I have had older accounts probably since the 2009ās, and before, but I have played Roblox for the longest time, and I thought it was cool to start making games, but I never knew how to actually make this stuff mine, but I started real developing like 2-3 years ago, it was around that time, and since then I have done really good. I am really good at all kinds of development, and amazing at scripting, but just recently, something weird happened lately where I am a lot better at random things, and I am starting to remember a lot of stuff again, and I feel like soon, I can do a lot more. I am glad to be on this great community of developers, and I hope to meet all of you guys, and if I ever make it to the RDC, maybe I can meet you guys there!
Hello my name is PrinceWhiteXXVI, I found ROBLOX years ago when I only used to play Poptropica (Classic game) I was really interested into football, and Iāve seen many football leagues with sub par programming. So I took it upon myself to create my own leagues, Iāve learned how to program and taught myself many different things. My current goal on the platform is to make a game that hits the front page. This will obviously be a tough journey but I am willing to do whatever it takes. Shout out to all my football fans out there!
Im new to roblox.
I found the game-creation part of this platform to be really cool and decided to dive into a bit of roblox game developing as a hobby
After doing some building (both in studio and blender) as well as a bit of scripting (beginning with destructible glass and now planning to move onto some basic shop GUIs), I felt that my learning process would definitely be improved by getting myself involved with the roblox developer community, a place where everyone seems to be interested and focused on the creation side of roblox.
I plan to create my own small little city (a small but dense place, packed with functioning buildings), and im currently trying to create some common scripted objects Iāll be using (doors, shop GUIs, weapons, teams) before going more into building.
Iād say my role is both programming and building, but more building since my programming skills just cover the mere essentials)
Iām new here and so itās great to be apart of a community of amazing developers. I started in ROBLOX as a child back in 2009 after my Brother started in 2007. When I was starting with the development on the ROBLOX Platform the only thing I was mainly trying to do was to upgrade the UFO back on the default template game in those days aha. My Current achievements on this platform are creating the SizzleBurger Soundtrack and my role in this community is a Composer. Thank you for having me be apart of this community!
I found Roblox in early September of 2014, when I saw my brother playing it on our motherās laptop and I asked him what it was.
I started messing around in Studio in late 2015, but I really started development in September of 2017.
I think one of my biggest goals on the Roblox platform is to meet all the amazing people that make up the community, but it probably wonāt happen, considering how many there are.
I really dabble in all of these. But the biggest one is probably programming.
My reply to this thread is just a few years overdue!
Hayo, Iām Coasterteam!
Iāve been on the Roblox platform since mid 2012 and Iāve continued to enjoy being a part of the community here.
I started digging into development on the platform around late 2014 and I love the work I do.
I joined the DevForums back in late 2017.
My goal as a developer is to take part in as much as I can and leave my footprint where-ever possible.
So far, I am part of the development team for one of the biggest train games on the platform. This game is known as Rails Unlimited
Iāve also previously done work on my own game, Serenity Research Labs, which was featured on an official Roblox live stream a few years back.
I am most known as a programmer but I build on occasion. I enjoy doing FullStack development. In terms of back-end development, I am knowledgeable with a few types of database management systems such as: SQL, mySQLi, and noSQL.
In terms of large scale projects of mine, one of them being a powerful administration system for the games I work on. With a (near completed) web panel, custom built discord bots with features for both players and staff members. These administration features communicate with my back-end system and allow for near-instantaneous communication between every server in a game and my web service. With these tools, a magnitude of powerful in-game administration panels are used in the game as well.
For some more recent and smaller projects, feel free to check out this project.
As for education, I am currently studying Computer Science at Purdue University and plan on entering the Software Engineering/Development field during and after my education.
Hello! Iām so thankful to be invited here in the Roblox Developer forums. Iām [redacted] and Iām a seventeen year old programmer and graphic designer. Despite being here since 2013, it was in late 2016 that Iād began to become more curious with using Roblox Studio and a general concept of developing games. Iāve always taken inspiration from my good friend @ShapeDemBricks which has supported me and taught me essential elements to my aspirations in development. I give him credit for starting my interest in UI design and finally scripting which Iāve been learning since late 2018 (already have a strong background of Java and Python).
Iām so glad that I can finally broaden my skills of programming and UI design thanks to being a member of the forums! Looking forward to contributing to the growing community of young developers this site has.
Greetings, all. I am Tasama. Iāve been wanting to gain access to the developer forum for what seems like an eternity, I joined Roblox in 2013 on a now old account. I like history, immersing myself in other cultures, art, animation, Japanese culture (of all eras), cars, and such. If I were to list everything this post would be even longer, haha.
How did you find Roblox?
A cousin of mine introduced it to me, the rest is history.
How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I wanted to create a game for a Pokemon fan group, I found out that I like making games even more than playing them!
Current goals/achievements on the platform Goals

Thanks to the Roblox team (and Discobot) for letting me converse with their awesome community,
Thanks to Avxnturador for sticking with me through thick and thin,
and last but certainly not least, thanks to Axcerious for teaching me how development works and generally being a really cool person.
I was really interested into football, and Iāve seen many football leagues with sub par programming. So I took it upon myself to create my own leagues, Iāve learned how to program and taught myself many different things. My current goal on the platform is to make a game that hits the front page. This will obviously be a tough journey but I am willing to do whatever it takes. Shout out to all my football fans out there!
