Introduction thread for new forum members

  1. It was 2010, I was a kid and we had a Skype call with my freinds. I miss those days.
  2. I started from building basic models, to full level design commisions. Right now I’m leading my own project.
  3. Make something really special
  4. Builder/Game Design

I started playing roblox roughly 10-11 years ago while I was in second grade, and I started developing by playing build and race. Currently, my goal is to hit front page. I’m mainly a scripter, but I also build and model.
I believe that if you enjoy working on a game, your playerbase will enjoy playing it.

Hello Roblox Developers!

  1. I personally found Roblox through my cousin’s influence, and ever since 2013, I’ve been extremely involved in the community. From the early games on the platform like “Underground War” and “Build a base with friends”, to the more recent games like “Murder Mystery 2” and “Miner’s Haven,” I’ve been in the Roblox platform since I was young.
  2. I actually just recently started playing around with LUA, and I have always found programming to be interesting. From HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Python, I figured I might as well give LUA and Roblox Studio a go.
  3. I hope to one day create a game that I personally enjoy playing and perhaps others will as well. The most important part in all of this to me is to learn more about a new coding language and to give back to the gaming platform that I have come to love.
  4. Novice Programmer
  5. I hope to meet some of you in the future, and if anyone would like to take on a new and aspiring programmer, please let me know! If you want to talk, I’ll be open on Discord at: 𝐿𝑜𝓇𝒹_𝒱𝓎𝓁𝒾𝓀𝓍#7535
  • How did you find Roblox?
    Nephew got me hooked on Basewars.
  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    As a programmer in other languages, I always wanted to create games. I’ve learned how to use Flash, but never finished a complete Flash game. Roblox offered an easy way to create something in a 3D environment.
  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Hoping to have some full games completed and released late 2019, early 2020.
  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Everything, I dabble, but mostly program… I lend assistance, when I can.
  • Anything else you would like to include
    Not at this time…

Not really a “new” member anymore, but thought I might as well fill this out and introduce myself while I have some free time.

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    I think I first found Roblox while I was waiting for my ride at the YMCA back in elementary school, where some of my other friends would play Roblox on the computers at the Y.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I’ve always been fascinated by how so many other young people can create such amazing games and capture the young audience. Me being me, of course, told myself that I would try and be like them someday and hopefully make a pretty popular game.

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Lead web developer for a 52K+ group, Cream, and managed to DevEx a few times already (something I never thought I’d do in my life :stuck_out_tongue:)

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I mainly specialize in programming and web development, along with the occasional Discord bot when I feel like it. I’ve tried animations every now and then but failed miserably along with building and GFX.

  5. Anything else you would like to include
    I speak Mandarin Chinese pretty fluently so if you ever need a translation done for Chinese feel free to DM me and I’ll see if I can do it :eyes:

Hi everyone, I’m Jonathanroxcp. I joined Roblox in 2008.

How did you find Roblox?

Not sure how I found Roblox since it was a decade ago but I’m pretty sure it was related to finding a game that wasn’t Club Penguin (the “CP” in my name gives it away)

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

I started building flight simulators in 2008 but quickly got bored with that. In 2009, I began working on a talk show studio.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

Current goals are to advance my knowledge about scripting. This forum has been very useful for that. Also wanna expand my reach. My biggest achievement is probably recreating the studio of The Ellen Show on Roblox.

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

I mainly build and script in the developer community. Currently working on a TV news studio!

Anything else you would like to include

Happy to be here!

Hello, my name is AltJusty, used to be a developer back during 2015, been in roblox since 2010.

I was inspired by other developers out there, and some of my friends that gave me attention to work on roblox… they’ve all left roblox, i’m now working for myself. I do personally script but not much, i mostly do building… I have no current goals here neither… I sometimes do gfx/building, not much on scripting no more…

Currently, i have no projects but maybe soon i would… I’m looking forward to work with players, possibly improve what is needed, practice for the future, devforums is a greatful place to be with… It is awesome to be apart of the devforums website.

I’m think it’s fine to introduct yourself here.

I am daniilpupkov80. I just found ROBLOX when played flash games in browser. In this time I’m currently playing games with my friends, animating stuffs. My favorite game genres was FPS and horror games. In my terms, I’m animator, working on studio along with Khronos.

My hope to become animator in Devforum. Thanks!

  1. Through a Youtube video, actually! (I believe it was… LDShadowLady? It was one of the cutesy youtuber lol)
  2. I got started mostly because I couldn’t find exactly the things I wanted, so I decided to make them myself! I’ve always liked just making things, Roblox is no different.
  3. I’ve only just started actually developing, but my current goal is to complete my current project and possibly garner a userbase for it! On a much larger scale, I’m kind of hoping it’ll give rise to more games like it… but we’ll see!
  4. I believe out of everything, building is my strong suit. I’ve recently started to learn how to script, however, and am slowly building up various other skill sets. If nothing else, at least I have neat ideas :stuck_out_tongue:
  5. Nice to meet everyone! I’m fairly old compared to the general userbase (currently 22) but still very much enjoy the complex simplicity of the engine. Working around the limitations of studio is right up my alley!

Finally have been ranked to new member :smiley:

I found Roblox searching for online games at the end of 2012 and havent left ever since. Early into Roblox, i found interest in developing things i loved; concert stages, sets from TV shows, it was amazing to be able to express my creativity. My current goal is to release a project i’ve been working on for over 6 months now, its nearly done! I mostly develop, but have delved into blender, designing, and UI.

  1. A friend of mine recommended to me
  2. I thought developing game was fun, so I started learning Lua
  3. Making a front page game
  4. Scripter , UI Designer

Hey I recently joined the dev forum! I found roblox when I saw a friend playing it back in 2017.

I got started with the development side of things a while ago, but it mostly consisted of just researching the basics on YouTube. In the past month is when I really became interested and started building.

My current goals are to get a general understanding of building terrain building and scripting and release a quality game in 2020.

I don’t have a set role in the developer community as of now. I am simply so new to development that I have no clue what will be my specialty, as of now I would say I excel at building, but that is also the thing I’ve spent the most time on

I would like to add that I may post for feedback from time to time or ask a question if I can’t find an answer myself but that may be the extent to my activity. I’ll try my best to be a productive person on the forums. :smile:

Hello!
I was bored and was messing around the internet when it was 2012/2013 and made an account here and now here I am.
It was when a friend of mine said he was going to make a group and then I said I was interested into building for him, it was a horrible map xD but was a good start.
Learn more about development and maybe make partnerships with people.
I am a builder and a wannabe programmer.
All fit and shape good for action.

  1. I watched A LOT of Roblox content back in 2016-ish and a few months after that, I created my account!
  2. I tried making a little house in Roblox Studio but I failed spectacularly. It was very confusing, but I had fun learning about the Decals and the Toolbox. I hope to create something decent in there at some point!
  3. My goal is to make a game that has at least 1 person playing it at all times. It seems easy, but I think that would be a crazy milestone for me.
  4. I aspire to become a translator in the next few years. I have a strong passion for ‘English’ and ‘English, but the UK version’ and so it is my dream job at the moment.
  5. This is the 2999th post in this thread. ‘I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess’, as somebody somewhere would say. Cheers for reading! :smiley:

I’m new here. (Kind of obvious because I’m replying on this post) I build and model, but prefer to model. I started developing around three to four years ago, but only now have I gotten into it! To be honest, I’m only replying here because I want to know how to work all of the buttons and to see what each one does. So, this is as far as you have to read.

bold text I think slanted text I think Preformatted? :grinning: happy face

I would love to work with completely new people for me because I love working with other people and sharing my ideas.
I hope to see you people again!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    I was 7 years old. I wanted to play something new. I heard about Roblox from my friend who also played it. When I first off started playing Roblox I loved it immediately. Finally, I started trying out the Roblox Studio.
  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    My dream was always to make a game which eventually will become very popular game, but it was hard for me since I didn’t know how to script so I left all that to its place. Finally I started taking Roblox Scripting courses and I’ve learned a lot, but not enough to make a proper game.
  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform.
    My goal is to get a development team to help me make a game.
  4. What is your role in the developer community?
    I am a builder, but I want to become a scripter too.
  5. Anything else you would like to include?
    I would like to say that I am very active builder and friendly too. I get along with all of the members of the development team. I also hope that somebody has same dream as me and we could collaborate.

Hey, I’m Rudra. I’m not exactly brand new to the forums (haven’t been here for extremely long either.) but I haven’t bothered making an introduction post until now.

  1. How did you find Roblox?
  • I found ROBLOX several years ago through banner / skyscraper ads on other websites.
  1. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
  • I got started with development on ROBLOX after realizing anyone could make games on here. It took several years for me to become proficient enough to call myself a capable developer, but it was an enjoyable journey.
  1. Current goals/achievements on the platform
  • Make a popular game.
  • Make a popular group.
  • Amass significant wealth (in robux/limits/assets) on ROBLOX.
  • Help out newer developers achieve their goals.
  1. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
  • I am primarily a programmer.
  1. Anything else you would like to include
  • I’m looking forward to meeting many of you and engaging in wonderful discussions both on ROBLOX and this forum!

I found ROBLOX in 2011; however, I made my current account a few years ago, because myself in 2014 lost my old email, therefore losing my old account.

I played games at first, wanting to see what others did, but after a while, I started getting ideas for unique experiences to entertain other players. Although most of them were small and never made it big, I have always had a big interest in ROBLOX development.

My only achievements are creating new designs and mechanics for projects, and I started scripting a big project. I only have a goal to complete a unique shooter game on the platform.

I am a programmer. I like to create the mechanics and functions of games; I started on little practice places after learning the basic methods and syntax of Lua. I gradually expanded my programming boundaries to include more and keep up-to-date on ROBLOX programming features.

  1. How did you find Roblox?

One of my siblings suggested that I should try it. I joined early 2018.
