Introduction thread for new forum members

Hey everyone! I’m ThatLightningPower! I’m very new here. I’m ready to be a member of the Roblox Dev Forum!
I’m 11 years old and I am very excited to be with you all! Being is the Dev Forum is gonna be a blast!
Back then, I made games using free models and played my free model games But soon, probably in the next few days or longer, I’ll be building a new game that looks oustanding with people!
I first discovered Roblox in 2013 or 14. I didn’t know what it was back then. But now, I know what Roblox is. It’s an imagination platform for all ages!
I have great grammar and outstanding behaviour. Sometimes I make grammar mistakes. But mostly, I have nice and proper grammar.
I know what it’s like to build. But building is nice and relaxing. It helps with stress sometimes too!
I am a great robloxian and I know that I will have a great time in the forum!
Also, My role is probably gonna have to be a Builder!
Thank you for listening. I am excited to be in the Roblox Dev Forum!

Hello I’m Paciferous10 and I am excited to be able to contribute to the Roblox Dev Fourm. I started using Roblox when it first came out. I always wanted to know how games were made on Roblox and after a bit of searching I found Roblox Studio and have considered myself a a Programmer ever sense.

My username on Roblox is Memeculus! How I found Roblox is that I heard this game from someone and when that person started teaching me how to play, after I liked the game I started playing it. How I started developing on Roblox is I was playing with my friend and we were both building games and. when we were building I got encouraged to build and I started knowing the controls. My current goal is to own Roblox groups and be a successful developer. What my trust rank is “New Member”, and my rank is Game Designer.

Hello, my name is Jake Miller. I will answer the questions that are asked then talk about me a bit.

  1. How did you find Roblox? I found Dynablox or known as ROBLOX in 2006 while browsing the internet but I was re-introduced properly in 2008 where I reside now.
  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform? I started by wanting to make wrestling games.
  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform. No personal achievements but I do have one thing I am very grateful and proud of and that’s being able to say i’ve been here since the beginning of ROBLOX… at least since it was released to the public.
  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc) I mainly do programming and building but I plan to slowly transfer into all the positions I can possibly do. So I guess a bit of all.
  5. Anything else you would like to include. I would like to include something. I have been here for a long long time and I have a lot of suggestions and ideas for ROBLOX in the future. They are minor but they could do a lot. With this, I want to see people happy. I don’t like seeing someone upset, depressed or sad but sometimes it does happen and I understand that. My goal is to advance ROBLOX and make it more entertaining.

Hey guys, I’m TotalInsanity7 (way too many names to count.)
I mainly develop small projects for people who need them. I’ve made admin commands, done a ton of UI work, and other miscellaneous projects here and there.

I joined back in 2012 on the 21st of November (Woah, Roblox-Iversary coming up soon!) I actually discovered ROBLOX by walking around stores and seeing their game-cards on the spinning “shelf” that contains them. I figured it was worth checking out, and boy am I glad I did.

Anyway, I don’t have much more to say so I’ll finish off with a favorite quote:

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.” - Edgar Allan Poe

Hello!

I’m evdial, and I found Roblox in 2012. I’ve always been playing games since then and I thought it would be cool if I tried to make my own. It ended up being a mess, but I’ve been trying to improve ever since. I do mostly building, modelling, art/graphics, animation, and hope to work on a game that I’m passionate about.

I can’t wait to meet new people and just do more Roblox developing stuff in general! :)! asssssssssssssssssssss|560x500

Hello, i am starlordkyle i found roblox from youtube long ago, i started making models by playing around on studio and got good at it, i mostly use f3x plugin for making models, i have no goals yet, and im a modeler, have a good day/night.

Hi all!

Yevoc here. I’ve been chomping at the bit to ask my programming questions here, and now I finally get unleashed! Thanks for the opportunity.

  1. I originally found Roblox back in 2009 when people were comparing it to Minecraft. I didn’t enjoy it and soon quit, but I re-found it when The Infrographics Show on Youtube did a bit on how Roblox has surpassed Minecraft in users, so I decided to check it out. The quality of games hasn’t really improved much, but boy has the game engine changed for actual developers! I was so excited to see that Roblox had evolved into the kind of gaming platform I wanted to see for the future, so I knew that I had to get cracking on this golden window of opportunity and start making my dream games before someone else did!

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
2. I’ll be honest that getting started has been a rocky uphill battle. The dev documentation and web articles were clearly recently changed in the last year or so, because a LOT of material is outdated and full of broken links. There aren’t any professional courses or much material for experienced programmers and game developers, and Roblox Lua is far from intuitive in many ways. Ultimately I had to pay some developers on Fiverr to build a few ideas I had just to see how it’s professionally done (Unfortunately, even they weren’t professional programmers, it turned out) I’d say that this dev forum was the #1 resource I had for actually learning how to develop anything other than the most basic, rudimentary game. This also made it incredibly frustrating since new users of the forum aren’t allowed to post for an incredibly long time. (It says I’ve been here for 10 days, but it’s more like 30-40. I didn’t let the site track me at first.)

Current Goals on the Platform
3. It’s been many years since any studio created my dream game, and they’ve all since been closed down with the servers offline. It’s become clear to me that if I’m ever to enjoy games again, I’ll have to make them myself. The game is very ambitious, but fortunately, Roblox is now the most ideal platform for creating the MMO I have in mind.

  1. I am an experienced programmer of many decades and dabble in digital artistry / sound / music on the side. I’ve never officially released a commercial game, but I’ve been involved in game development in some way shape or form for nearly 10 years now, only getting serious in the past year or so.

  2. I really do think that digital, virtual existence is the future of our species, and I think Roblox is going about it the right way! The newest generation will have grown up with Roblox, so I don’t see this platform going anywhere for a good long while. Now that the game engine has evolved and improved into something semi-decent, it’s time to get to work and become a Roblox dev!

Thanks for listening,
Yevoc

Hi! My name’s Sam, aka Trafted, I’m new here to the developer forum and I’d just like to say hi! :wave:

I found ROBLOX back in 2014 and actively played ever single, development has only come to me in the past few months, working in a lot of fields (except scripting)! However I’ve mostly found a passion in art and UI design!

After playing games for a long time, I decided that it would be really cool if I started to learn how to make one! In the next couple of months working with you all I hope to improve my skills as a developer and hopefully get some comissions!

Thank you all! I can’t wait to work with you! :grinning:

  1. I found Roblox online while looking for games to pla
  2. I started my development when as a kid I played a lot of games. The ideas of making games thrilled me and motivated me through my time
  3. My current goal is to make a functioning workinggame
  4. Over the years of development I’m capable of animating, programming, a little building, some knowledge in blender, game designing and UI Designer.
  5. I recently joined the Dev Forum and I hope I can get along with all of you. Some of you may know me from Discord.

Hello!
I’m HewTheLightBringer.
I found ROBLOX when I was only about 10 years old, and to be quite honest, at the time, it was because my computer couldn’t handle Minecraft.
I got started with development by sampling pre-existing models, and studying them. Almost like a ‘script kitty’, as my mom would always call it. Through trial and error, I eventually learned the simplest of things, how to make 2 parts not collide when moving them.
My current goal is to create games with concurrent communities, for personal enjoyment and enjoyment of those who play the games.
I have a large array of skills. I do a lot of Building and Programming, however, I have learned GFX, UI design, and even animating.

Hello!
I’m a New Member to the form (Duh!)
I love to Develop, Yet i’m still learning /:
I focus in horror games. You can see one of them on my profile!
I hope i can Contribute well to the form !

I found ROBLOX 5 years ago, I was looking for a game that was entertaining and fun.
Then I found ROBLOX on the App Store and downloaded it. Next thing I knew was that I was playing ROBLOX everyday. About 2 years later I started developing.
I’ve made so much friends on this platform :wink:

Hi! I’m a new member to the forums. When I first learned of Roblox I was amazed at what I could do with it. Following my friend I learned scripting as I was also programming in school. Cut 2 years later and I began making my first few games, of course they all didn’t make it out of testing but the experience was worth every second of it. Now I am the Owner/Indie Developer of my Studio RED Studios and I pretty much do everything from Scripting, to Animating, Meshing, Building and sooo on. What I hope now that I have joined this amazing community is to build relationships that could last for years and hopefully join or create a studio that makes games that Inspire others to create their own experiences!

Hello! I just got accepted onto the Dev Forms so this is very exciting! I’ve been trying to get on for a VERY long time. I’m glad to finally be here!

I found ROBLOX after watching a ROBLOX jaws video, I thought ROBLOX only had that Jaws game but it looked fun so I wanted to try it out. Then a few years go by and I’m here.

I started development a few years ago, I’m not a master but I’d say I’m pretty good, I guess. I started development when I kind of just popped into studio one day on accident then it kind of just happened…? It’s nothing super exciting.

I currently own a group with 300+ members, so that’s pretty cool. I plan to expand my group so I can get a better community in my group.

In the Dev Community I mostly build but I can program a little bit, I do some moderate level GFX and I’m pretty good at GUI design if I do say so myself, but that’s just my opinion.

If you want to see any of my work just message me and I’ll try and respond eventually.

Welcome @KnownMonarch, to the dev forums, I may be a new member, but I’ve been here for a few weeks, this place is filled with help, feedback, and nudges in the right direction! even though I am not staff myself, I hope you enjoy the dev forums :relaxed: . I quite enjoy it here, and I hope you do too! :innocent:

  1. My friend Auzvallen told me about the game.
  2. When I wanted to recreate an old British Army game.
  3. Goals:

Release the United Kingdom 1940s
Make a United States of America
Make a popular game (like Prison Life or a island rescue)
Get some cool limiteds

  1. Group Owner is my role lol. I build some and script some.

  2. Nope!

I found Roblox when I was watching YouTube Videos back in 2010 So I joined a day later on my older account. Well I have always been interested by building So when i created my new account in 2016 I wanted that account to be the first one I use in Studio. I would love to learn new and more beneficial tricks so I can use them to practice with and a goal is to maybe work with some popular people one day. my Role of the Developer community is to be a builder, I am learning to script tomorrow a technical school so hopefully I like that so I can learn that for the future. I would like to also add that I hope I can fit into the Community of developer because this is a dream come true.

Hi, I’m Killer. I started playing Roblox because my friends were playing it. Sadly this isn’t my first account I lost my first one I forgot the pass lol.
I’ve always wanted to make a game and I’m still learning how me and a couple of my friends are working on one right now.
I’m also making a clothing group with my friend.
I’m not sure what else to put so bye. :3

Hi I’m InocularGaming! I’m a nice person and also like to create stuff!
Here is some questions I answered from the topic.

1: How did I find out about Roblox?
I found out about Roblox in 2017. I made an account and I don’t use the account no more. Then I made my new account (InocularGaming) and I started to like Roblox a lot with the community.

2: How did I get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I started developing some stuff on studio. I tried using studio and I got the hang of it. I know how to build, use constraints, etc. The most recent I’ve learned is basic scripting.

3: Current goals/Achievements on the platform. My current goal is trying to make a good zombie game that is fun for everyone.
