I am an old Roblox member that’s been building trains since August of 2008. So I’ve been through the train community for a long time that I am now glad I am finally promoted to have posting privileges in the Dev Forms.

How did you find Roblox?

I first became aware of Roblox through the YouTube videos by an old user named Fleskjerta. Then I registered on Roblox when I found my way through a Lego train fan site and used Roblox as a better design software than Lego Digital Designer.

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

Started with some free models for that used what most of us in the train community used to call Roblox Standard Gauge of the old Roblox style trains that used wheels that look like ski’s. Eventually I found a model that interested me and improved the details and accuracy on it. Learning on how to build on Roblox, I can then build my own trains using the existing system and provide content to other community members.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

Providing quality content to the Roblox train community. From 2014 to mid 2018, I’ve provided a number of free models of trains much like how you can get each rolling stock, locomotive, and pieces of track like from a hobby shop. Speaking of model trains, I’ve once received a legit comment on my free model on a train car that I’ve released in my early years. The comment went that this player was happy that I was providing trains for free as he couldn’t afford model trains. This made me glad to hear this inspiring moment to have a reason to have someone satisfied for something we can’t afford or wish we can have. A similar inspiring statement can be said when I’ve provided lots of free content for players to create their own railroads or communities. This statement was when someone said they “grew up” using my models, this makes me feel accomplished and have a purpose to be part of the train community.

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

From my early years with and on to 3/4 of the 2010’s decade. I’ve built countless locomotives, rolling-stock, and tracks for the United Rail system, an evolution of the old Roblox Standard Gauge dating prior to 2012. Since Fall 2018, on my 10th year of Roblox. I’ve began working for a group called Rails Unlimited to provide trains and other development support while having my first DevEx cashout.

Anything else you would like to include
Around 2012, me and a group of friends worked together on a game called Robloxia Live Steamers. A group and game focused on miniature train ride used on some public parks. I had noticed that Shedlesky, Telamon at the time, favorite the game. It would take me until RDC 2019 to finally hear about his interest about the game and I’m that glad he too enjoyed trains.
Speaking of RDC 2019, it was my first visit to see other Roblox developers and a few other friends I’ve known for years. Before RDC 2019, I’ve attended to Houston Mini-Maker Faire 2014.

Hi, I’m WizardlyJoker!

I’m so excited to be joining and exploring the developer forums!

I’m a 15 year old teen from Sweden. On my spare time I design clothes, script it make UI designs. I’m mostly a clothes designer and a UI designer but I’ve been learning LUA for a year and I can script a bit. :smile:

I joined roblox in 2017 and I was just casually playing the game until I had the thought on starting to develop games. In the beginning I was very bad and didn’t know anything, and now I’m here writing and introduction on the developer forum!

I hope you got to know me a little better / Kind Regards, WizardlyJoker. :smile:

Hey there! I am AmGona! It is a pleasure to be a new member of the Roblox Developer Forum. I am mainly a programmer using lua scripting within Roblox Studio. And now I will tell a little about myself!

  1. A couple of my good friends of mine told me about Roblox back in 2012, and I ended up making an account in 2014.
  2. I was interested in developing games, so I opened studio, played around a bit, and then I started watching some YouTube tutorials, and now here I am!
  3. A long time goal of mine is to master a little bit of building, UI design, and mainly scripting. Knowing that I now know a lot about the lua programming language within Roblox, is a huge achievement and has taught me a lot!
  4. I am a programmer

Hello everyone, my name is Difficilis!

I’ve been playing Roblox actively for over ten years now, and though I have never been a part of any ‘community’ either inside or outside of the game, I have always been enthusiastic about both playing and building on the platform. I kept my answers brief, but I hope they allow you to get to know me a little bit better:

“How did you find Roblox?”
I first discovered Roblox through an advert I saw on YouTube in 2009.

“How did you get started with development on the platform?”
I have experimented sparingly with Roblox Studio ever since I first signed up, but have always struggled to find motivation as I am very critical of myself. It can also be hard not to constantly compare yourself to others.

“What are your current goals on the platform?”
I recently decided that I want to begin exploring the use of Roblox Studio properly for the first time, so my only goal is to develop my own style for now and to broaden my ability.

“What is your role in the developer community?”
Having experimented over the years, I think it’s safe to say that I most enjoy building and want to focus solely on developing my skills and knowledge over time. I may not be very good at it yet, but I’m a builder.

I look forward to my time on the forum, and I hope to hear from some of you very soon!

Howdy, the name’s owned, I’m interested in Computer Programming and Sciences and I am currently a Law Enforcement enthusiast.

I perceive the future of the Dev Forum to be bright with diminished truculence, and with a comprehensive community. I believe that an interdependent entity achieves more compared to one which follows solely the principle of independence, henceforth I’d like to bring my absolute experience and knowledge to the community.

I’m currently occupied with various projects and most importantly school, but with that aside I’m soaring across the clouds. Thank you for this opportunity and I hope to bring forth contribution.

Hello there! I am tehgreatdoge. I got introduced to Roblox by my friend flame_skull. This happened during the days of Pokemon go and he wanted to show me a Pokemon tycoon. I have been hooked ever since!
I got started with Roblox game development when I was 10 on my mom’s Windows XP, but it wasn’t until I got my own laptop that I really got into making games.
My current goal is to get the first 3 seasons of my zombie game out.
While I am best at scripting, I am decent at other things as well.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello! I’m SuperGrayShark, and I believe I been on Roblox since right before 2017. I think I tried Roblox after I watched a video on Youtube, and I wanted to try it out. For a while after that, I was on from time to time, playing some of the games made on Roblox. I did try making a few games, but I didn’t really actually start until late 2019. At this point, I was getting interested into learning how to make a game, and I started looking for way’s to learn. I eventually found that Roblox would be a great place to try to make one, since Studio is free and it would be easy to use. sincethat, I’ve been working on making a game on Roblox , in which I want to make it unlike any others.

Currently, I’m trying to make two game’s right now, one I’m working on my own, and the other I’m gonna try to work with friends.

I found Roblox around 2016,But lost my first acount in 2017 I started using the Developer Platform around 2018 When I Had a computer to do so. My current goals are to learn scripting to help support my game developing as well as my builds. I am currently a beginner builder with hardly any scripting knowledge. I would like to Include that I am currently taking music as something of interest to me. Thank you!

Hello! I am BookMaster77 and I am really excited to have joined the DevForum community as a New Member! I found Roblox through an advertisement, and I started some rather weak development in 2017. I have been in a ton of groups and my development experience revolves around amateur GFX and community engagement and administration.

Hello! I’m SinLix, or just Sin, and I’m glad to be here!

Thanks to a friend back in 2012, I was introduced to Roblox for the first time. A few years later, I was amazed by how much Roblox had changed. Right around the time I revisited, I also gained an interest in development from developers with similar interests and became fascinated by the idea of creating something on my own.

I decided to bring what I could create to the digital platform. I’m a Digital Artist seeking opportunities to improve, and I think this is a great environment to do just that. Looking forward to helping out and possibly leaving a positive mark behind in what I hope to be my area of expertise.

Sincerely,
Sin

Hi, I’ve been on Roblox for almost eight years now.

I spend my time looping through hard-coded elements and experimenting, as of late with character replication, debugging and finding those counter intuitive howto’s of the platform’s fringes. It’s one of the most painstaking but valuable processes; learning to operate on an implicit foundation, for it is what we must inevitably do day to day.

I tend to work independently but have collaborated before, having a few sparse, casual games nearing 10m total plays, but I have yet to make a big break. My productions are predominantly naval, though for no particular reason. The site has led me to learn a dozen languages and become experienced with near-as-many modeling programs and ancillary software.

Currently I’m venturing into sound design. I have experience modeling, coding, procedural texturing and graphics works, UX, UI and all those little things you need layman’s knowledge of to accent a game. I have to say it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve had with any community site.

Thanks for your reading time, Grey.

Hello, I’ve been around on roblox for 5 years now.

I spend my time building and making showcases for other people to enjoy, as well as to help out people who are new and give some techniques to building.

I normally only build for fun, and plan to do some collaboration work in the future with others. I currently work mainly on building and other small projects with minor scripting and UI Designing.

Thanks for reading.

How did you find Roblox?

So back in 2007 when my brother joined Roblox He made games and played a lot. So when it was 2014 I joined Roblox on a different account, then I made another account in 2016 (I still use that account). Now I’m using this account on Roblox. To make Roblox a better place!

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

So when I was playing the game I was playing then after 6 months I saw you can make games, and all my friends where making games and I was making a mini-paintball game. So I used free-models and took the scripts and would edit those scripts to make teach myself how to script. Then like a few months later Roblox came out with the awesome Dev Hub, and Forum. Now this is where I am today making games Programing for them.

Current goals/achievements on the platform.

Still Working On

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

My role is a Scripter / Programmer I liked learning new scripting language’s and I saw Roblox was using lua so, I like researching in Programing and I researched lua a lot. So I decided to start a game (still working on it as of now.)

Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

Hello, I’m new in DevForum as well, and I want to thank you for accepting me in there. Since I couldn’t post I was looking for solutions through this website. Now I am really appreciated for ranking up.

I found out about Roblox in late 2016 by some YouTube video. I was so confused, but in 2017, I get the point of this amazing platform. I was slightly getting better in development by watching YouTube tutorials and learning Lua. My goal was being a part of “dev” community and making successful games. Right now, I am mostly known as Programmer, because I am not so good at building.

I want to thank you again for ranking me up in this comfy website. Hope you all have a great day!
