Introduction thread for new forum members

Finally, I have been accepted into this Forum. Thank you.
I am Jack, a Builder on this platform.

1.How did you find Roblox?
An advertisement on some other website back in 09, or 10.

2.How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I was just super bored, and interested when I first saw that I could make my own games.
I wasn’t pleased with the quality of games back then, but I did enjoy that ‘Jeff the Killer’ game that I can’t find anywhere.

3.Current goals/achievements on the platform
I aim to achieve Global Supremacy, (meaning respected by everyone).
Gained knowledge on lots of different building styles.
Thinking of recreating that Jeff the Killer game to a superior standard.

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

Hello, call me NamesNotRandom, I am new here also!

Hello everyone! I’m Scrumble, i’ve been on roblox almost ten years now. I am the owner of BrickMotion Studios a developer group which is over 8 thousand members strong! I am just getting back into development and am looking forward to getting together a new dev team.

Greetings everyone! I’m aduplan, I played ROBLOX for 5 years before quitting for another 5, but I’m back and working on a cyberpunk project in my free time, as a hobby. I prefer building and level designing to scripting, but perhaps I will indulge in it if time allows.

Looking forward to meeting you!

nice to meet u :slight_smile:

welcome :slight_smile:

Hi there! It’s AZDev!

I own LiquidPixelEntertainment Studios.
I’ve been developing on Roblox for about 6 years.
I currently have 1 team member who is actively learning how to code.
He is currently too young to join the Accelerator program however, I’m looking forward to someday being a part of that.

The only game I have ever released was broken by some updates. My team is working on completely remastering it and improving it so it currently sits in the dust untouched.

I’m a programmer, I spend most of my time on Roblox coding the game as my team builds it.
I’m learning 3D design. Slowly. Bigger fish in the pond right now and also pursuing a bachelors in computer science.

I’ve wanted to work for Roblox since I was 13. Maybe… :slight_smile:

Whoopsies forgot to do this!

Hello there, I am LocatedAir!

I have been developing on ROBLOX for about… 4 or 5 years and currently improving my development and enjoying building.

In my time I have been trying to develop games and become a better developer and I remember back in the days I used to get really frustrated with myself that I was never going to get better at development but I’m glad where I am now of where atleast I am better than I used to be.

My current goals on ROBLOX is to keep improving my building styles but also to learn how to code. Learning to script in Lua on ROBLOX is something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time but I never really attempt to learn it unfortunately. I’m also hoping to soon to try and make a game that will hopefully get noticed and everyone will enjoy playing! I also have other goals such as becoming a Devforum member and becoming a QA tester (NDA Verified.)

In my ROBLOX time I have loved it so far and met some awesome friends which some I have been friends with for 5 years now (since I started playing ROBLOX) and I love meeting new people.

Thanks for reading my introduction!

Hey, I’m Bat Boy or knowen as loverbatboy! I am new to the Roblox Developer fourm and I just wanna say it’s an amazing community.

I found Roblox from a friend at school. I have been playing for about 5 years. I was inspired to make roleplay groups like, Cafes, Hotels and etc. This made me make my own little community from my groups.

I have achieved so much in the Roblox Community. I founded a group in Roblox in October this year (2019) and we have recently hit 3.5k members and I am so happy over this.

My role in the Community is a Builder as most of the games I make for my groups are from me. I have been building for 1 year and I have learnt so much!

Thanks for the last 5 years Roblox. This is my child hood.

Hey. My name is Bachatronic and I’m deeply honored of being accepted in the Developer Forum. Despite being fairly new to Roblox, it means a lot to me to be here and I want to share a little bit of my history. If you don’t want to read it just skip the next section.

[How I get started]
My history with Roblox is fairly recent. I discovered Roblox in the beginning of the year (2019) on a TechCruch article. I fell in love instantly with their vision of powering imagination. I was so excited that in a rush I bought a Windows 10 OS just so I could run Roblox Studio and see what it was all about (My main OS is Ubuntu and a Mac is too expensive in my country). I spent some days toying around with Studio, checking out the community experiences and made some rough sketches of what could be my first experience.
Despite all this, short after I met Roblox, I made the hard decision to stay away from it. The main factor behind the decision was that in 2018 me and a colleague decided to open a marketplace startup. I was working full time to bring the marketplace together. He had/has a job and was in charge of financial and business in his spare time.
Coding a marketplace from scratch showed itself to be a enormous task. So, I decided I would not take any side projects or have any distractions until I finished the product and we opened the business. Fast forward to late October 2019 and product was done, first seed investment showed up, more people were interested in participating and…my colleague decided to leave. In the middle of the shock, I was not 100% sure of what I was going to do. After some days of reflection, I decided that would be unwise to carry on the idea without him or some else capable of filling his shoes. During this reflection, I also realized, that I was completely free to do whatever I wanted. In my view, I could give 1000% everyday to pivot the product to something more manageable while I searched for new co-founders or…I could finally go back to Roblox and get the tools to power my imagination. I chose the latter because I fell I wouldn’t get this opportunity ever again. Roblox is in a great place right now and I feel things will only get better. I want to catch this ride with you all and make awesome experiences for the community.

[What have I achieved so far]
Not 100% sure of the exact dates but this is my timeline on Roblox.

  • Beginning of 2019: Discovered Roblox
  • End of October of 2019: After the drama explained in the previous section started to read documentation and watching Youtube tutorial videos about Roblox.
  • Start of November 2019: Start sketching some ideas for my first game. The original idea was to be something simple, mainly to get a grasp of how Studio worked, how you published a game and etc. Since we were reaching the Holidays, I wanted to make a Christmas game.
  • 07 of December 2019: Finished my first game Christmas Odyssey (By finished I mean I put it on Public Access on Roblox). The game is far above my initial expectations, showing me how much Roblox really helps me to express myself.
    The plot is: Santa has been kidnapped by the Jelly Easter Bunny and trapped on the top of the Christmas tree. You must join the elf squad as the rookie and climb the tree and rescue Santa before Christmas. The game has several levels with increasing difficulty, a Boss battle and a story that unfolds while you play.
  • 16 of December 2019 (current moment): Finishing coding some new game passes to help you in your odyssey. Also making a few corrections and alterations here and there. I would love to hear some feedback!

[Current goals]

  • Make great experiences for people to play and enjoy themselves. I think I did a reasonable job in my first game, but is up to you to decide. Either way, I intend to get better and do more :smiley:.

[What is my role in the developer community?]
In term of skills, my role is definitely a programmer. Tough, I really like all parts of development and love that Roblox make it easy for me to do all the rest. In terms of preference, I think what I like the most is game design.

[Summing up]
If you reached here, I want to say thank you for reading my story. I feel very happy of being a part of this. Cheers :grin:.

Hello I’m Retrospectiv3 and I wanna to Introduce myself

I found roblox thanks to my friend that showed me that game, I was very excited because I can create games and share them to the world easily
I started with developement not that long after account creation. I made my first game, it was pvp game. but it is unplayable thanks to roblox update, so I privated it. Then I had break from developing for a while because I met new friend that I played with him a lot on certain online game that saying its name would be useless. In this year (2019) I came back to developing and showed him abilities to create on roblox.
My current goal is to make games and hope they will be popular. My role in community is being a programmer. Thanks for reading… hm… I think I mentioned everything

Some of my friends at school were playing it, so I decided to hop on once I got home and enjoyed it since.

Um really just playing games and seeing how well buildings and things were made, just motivated me to go on the Studio and start putting parts together.

None really, hopefully some to come soon.

I am a builder!

-I first played Roblox when my really close friend showed me on his old laptop and I made my frist account on 2015

-I started developing when I got first got interested in Programming when my close friend showed me Roblox Studios

It 11 years ago, December of 2008.
I was browsing games through newgrounds and saw an ad from Roblox, the ad contained this floating island scenery which got me mesmerized, It reminded me of legos but with no limitations :slight_smile:

Lua is my first language, and discovering when I was around 13 years old gave me a huge advantage on my programming subjects in college.

I’ve been casually playing the game until I discovered Script Builders.
It was a kind of a game where players could show-off their creations via pasting scripts through the chat.
My journey through script builders was from changing the size of the head of a player, to making games that would reach the front page(2011-2014).

My current achievements are the friends I’ve made through years of playing :'), its the only reason why I could come back.
My endgame goal is to make a game that alot of players would enjoy!

My strongest trait would probably be in the programming side.
Currently at baby steps with 3D Modeling (Blender).
I’m also a junior web developer, so I guess I’m a bit familiar with UI Design.
