Introduction thread for new forum members

Hi there! My name is Slyssk. I’ve just recently become apart of the developer forum, and I’m so excited to be here! I’m ready to learn as much as I possibly can from you all. Here is a little a little information about me.

I design a lot of models and love building games, especially in the Sci-Fi, futuristic genre. I do animate in some of my free time, and don’t hesitate to ask me something! I am also open to working on studio projects with any of you, please message me!

Hello! Before I introduce myself, I am rather pleased that I got accepted into the forum after wishing to be accepted for a long time.
My name is THM. Generally, I feel that Roblox is an interesting game and it is a good time in order to make use of my creativity to good use to make games. There is also many different genres of games to play. I first started the development on the Roblox platform when I saw a video on how to build and model using roblox studio and blender.I started being interested in this and started building/ modelling.
I wish to be able to help others build/model things in a game.
I also would like to learn coding.
I would like to be a Builder/Modeler in the developer community.
That would be all I would like to say. Thank you for accepting me to this and have a great day!

I joined a while ago, but never did this.

I found Roblox in 2014 by ad. Not the most interesting story, but I always wanted to make games and roblox seemed like the place to start!

I got started learning when one day I decided that today was the day I would learn to make games. I then put in hours a day learning about lua and Roblox Studio until I could understand the topic.

I have one main goal here on Roblox. To make a fun game that people wan’t to play. I would like to have a game that has 100+ players online most of the time. I am currently developing my first real game (with another dev) where I program the game and make the UI, but prefer not to build anything.

I mainly focus on programming and UI design, but I can do builds and GFX work too.

I am zblox164, a programmer and UI designer.

  1. How I found Roblox was some of my friends were playing Roblox so I joined in to.
  2. How I got started was I wanted to try developing something I have so many ideas of things to make.
  3. My goal is to get my game on the front page.
  4. My role is building.
  5. I just want to say that I love Roblox a lot and am not leaving until made it to my goal.
  1. I wanted to play anime games when i was younger. and roblox showed up. i’m pretty sure it was nsoa. good times.

  2. because most the anime games ended closing and being boring grind fests. so i wanted to make my own and i found it cool

  3. i wanna make a fun game with my vision and earn from it

  4. scripter

  5. i’ve been trying to speak on the forum for the longest time. so i can ask for scripting help. but it’s kinda a blessing and a curse because instead of waiting for someone to answer me. i’d go and find it because i had no choice. but, uh. it’s all in the mind guys! like how you say you could never murder someone. and you can’t. say that you can make a lit game and you will!!!

  1. Back in 2008, I was on a site with flash games and saw an ad for Roblox, the building game. I watched the video showing you could make games!
  2. I got a game on the front page immediately following the release of user based ads on the platform, that was when i got hooked. My game was terrible, but it was exhilarating to have others play my game!
  3. I’m currently completing my rendition of Connect-4 as a challenge, it’s been a great learning experience!
  4. I’m generally considered a Programmer, but I dabble in all areas. Back when GUIs were first introduced, I was known among my friends as being good at it.
  5. I’m back on the platform after an absence period, so I’m picking up some of the new stuff, my new code avoids deprecated content and I’m currently focusing on learning more about using metatables and object oriented code (self-improvement)
  1. I found Roblox through a friend back in 2012

  2. I got into Roblox development in 2013 because of the enjoyment i had on the platform i decided to try to make my own games, buildings,models etc.

  3. My current goals are to become better at 3d modeling, improve what i am currently capable of building as well as learn animation more thoroughly, I do not have any achievements i’d consider any to be noteworthy right now.

  4. i’m mostly a builder i create maps models tools etc.

  5. nothing else to add.

1. How did you find Roblox?

I was watching some of DanTDMs videos.

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?

Shortly after I joined ROBLOX I was introduced to the modern military community. I soon became a fan of @Marcuses British Army. This was where I belonged for some time, reaching up to colonel of PARAS. Soon after this I started several groups, some succeeding some not. I was introduced to @killermanwithacookie and this is where my dev career began. He taught me about Lua and he’s now working with Gmod and Java/C#. But I still found myself enjoying building much more.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform

I would like to one day become a professional builder for ROBLOX. I am currently doing small-scaled development for my own groups and one of my friend’s British Armies.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

Mainly Building, getting into UI design and Programming.

5. Anything else you would like to include

No.

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    I honestly can’t remember, it’s been over 10 years since I joined. It was likely an advertisement on YouTube or something.
  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I saw Free Models that I could use and I was inspired to make my own, I realized I had a bit of passion for creatively expressing myself using Roblox. Eventually, building was not enough to scratch that itch, so I cautiously looked into scripting and that’s where I found my true passion for programming.
  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I’ve always wanted to make a large hangout area for myself and my friends with a lot of interactivity and high amounts of detail. Eventually I would like to be ‘fluent’ in Studio and Scripting.
  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I am a Programmer and a Builder/3D Modeler
  5. Anything else you would like to include
    I’m excited to find a community that shares similar interests to me where we can collaborate and help each other with ideas to boost creativity! :slight_smile:

Well hello, my name is AApocAAlypse and i’m fairly new to this Devforum Page,
I’ve been on the ROBLOX Website since March 2016, i have started to develop 4 months after i joined.
My current goals are to complete my RPG, And hopefully get a very healthy player play time rate.
My role is a Builder, i have nearly 4 years of building experience and can build: Low poly, Simple, Detailed, Realistic. You get the idea. I have very high intentions to be very active in this Developer forums and look for people who seek help :slight_smile:

Finally I made it, this is one of the things I wanted to achieve in a very long time. Thank You!

I found ROBLOX while playing random online games, then I clicked on an advertisement which lead me here, that was in 2009. I started developing late 2012 when I finally learnt about ROBLOX Studio, and pretty much made random games using free models.

My current goals are definitely, to manage to get a stable income through DevEx and develop high quality role play games, which haven’t been released before/ unique games.
All those years I’ve been on ROBLOX I never really understood scripting and stuff, however I am a really good builder now and that’s what I do. So I’m the version of Bob the builder on ROBLOX.
I’ve been on ROBLOX for a very long time and it has helped me lot, made a lot of different friends and learnt a lot of useful stuff.

Hi bruhs, glad to finally be able to post and stuff. I started playing Roblox sometime in 2010, and for maybe like 5 or 6 years I pretty much never touched studio. Eventually I started making some simple games for my own personal amusement, most of which involved blowing up free models.

I really got into game development about 3 years ago. My brother, PoptartNoahh, started working on an early version of RooM, and at first I wasn’t really interested or motivated to contribute. I’m not 100% sure why I decided to become the builder for the game, but I did, and for the past 2 years I’ve started to really get into the swing of things.

Currently I’m building most of everything for the sequel, RooM II, as well as some other side projects related to RooM. Now I feel like my motivation for building comes from the people who play the games and, most profoundly, my brother. So, as I mentioned a few sentences ago, I am a builder, but because of the nature of RooM, I also started making sprites for enemies and weapons, even sharing them with the ZDooM community (which is a great group of people btw).

Anyways, thats pretty much everything about me. Thanks for reading this, whoever you are. :smiley:

Heyo I’m Keewiii and I build (and try to animate but I really suck.)
I found roblox online through Social Media, Youtube etc. really just watching videos insipired me to create stuff on my own!
My goals are to learn how to animate better and maybe even get payed to make stuff ( Or sell assets). I really do like building though so thats not my only goal.
I can do GFX, build and try to animate but I wouldn’t way it’s a role more like a hobby-ish type of thing.
I uh just wanted to say after looking through Cool Creations I was really amazed and insipired and I really like this community. You guys seem like nice people and as an excepting community.
Thanks for reading!

Hello! I’m XaddyGoat, or Goat for short. My cousin introduced me to ROBLOX back in 2011 and I’ve been attached ever since! I’m not entirely sure when I started developing, but I’ve recently devoted lots of time in improving my skill. I hope to reach front-page at least once, or have 5000+ concurrent players. I’ve been programming for a couple of years; however, as said previously, I recently became fully committed. I’m also head developer for Jellyfishing Simulator as of 9/8/2019. I plan to release 2 games in a few months but we’ll see how that goes.

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    I was invited by my friends when we had a play date at my house.
  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I was first experimenting with free models to see how studios works. Then I gradually started to grow in skill and creativity.
  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform.
    My first goal is to get my game to a Million visits, yes it might be abit too high of a goal but I am not afraid to walk to my goal step by step.
  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I am mainly a builder but I can do simple GFX and scripting.
  5. Anything else you would like to include.
    I am very happy that I found out Roblox is a thing and now it is changing my identity

Hello everybody! My name is Insert and my dream is to make it to the front page with a game that pushes the boundaries of imagination. I truly believe that anything is possible when you have the knowledge and creativity. That is why I spend most of my waking hours on the Developer ‘Learn Roblox’ page to fill up my jar of knowledge until it’s full to the peak.

I’ve been playing Roblox for a long time. I absolutely love the social aspect of it. I’m a pretty quiet guy in real life so this is a huge turnaround for me and happy to find a group of people where I belong.

I got started with development on Roblox when I finally wanted to learn how to program. The issue with starting though is that it’s hard to learn when you don’t have goals to push you forward. It’s hard to learn to just learn. But it’s easy to learn when there’s something tangible you want to achieve. This is why I choose Roblox Lua and development on the Roblox platform because my purpose of learning how to code is to make unimaginable games.

I always thought that mostly all developers were just programmers but it’s astonishing to see the variety of skill sets people portray themselves as. From builders to designers and artists, the spectrum is wide. In the long run I hope to manage my own development team of talented members and in the short-run I would love to be apart of a development team to put my skills to practical use and learn the ecosystem of managing a development team. Thank you for reading and toodles!
