Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello! I’m ImaginePowerq, it was around 2012 when I found Roblox, I saw a couple of my friends playing a game called “Armored Patrol”. If I recall correctly the home screen for Roblox when you signed in showed something about the “cool new mechanics for bullet drops” or something of the sort, at first it was just something I overlooked, but one day I got overconfident and decided I can prove to everybody that I could do the same. Oh boy, did I fool myself. I have many projects and maybe 1 or 2 ongoing at the moment, at first I wanted to dive into the more “complex” things in terms of general development, it was a slow climb due to the fact I was trying to learn everything at once, at the very least, it allowed me to peak into all fields of development. So after about a year, I decided to look into Lua, that’s where my steady growth began, I don’t have any mind blowing achievements but most of projects are things I’m proud of, as for goals, I’d just like to continue to work on my current projects. As for my role in this community, I am a programmer. I look forward to working with you all and look to grow more with the talented people of this community!

Hi everyone!

I’m Missss_Peach, a builder and artist from Canada. I joined Roblox in 2008. Just over a year ago I began creating artwork and textures for my sister, @Mimi_Dev, for her game Dance Your Blox Off. Last summer I started building for the game as well and now I am the lead builder for an upcoming game by myself, Mimi_Dev and our dad, @DarthChadius. Aside from building and texturing I also specialize in character design and makeup/face decals. Outside of Roblox, I’m currently training to become a professional ballet dancer and I dance about 30 hours a week.

So happy to be here, thanks for reading!

  1. I found roblox by just scrolling the web, playing online website games.
  2. When I downloaded roblox It came with studio, I have been experimenting ever since
  3. My current goals are to build a community and make a game everyone wants to play
  4. Im a programmer
  5. Im very nice,Polite and happy at all times :slight_smile:

Hello!

  1. I found Roblox a long time ago, I don’t even remember how I stumbled across it as a little kid.
  2. I’ve been interested on and off with game development, so it’s only natural to pursue that interest on a platform built around the concept.
  3. My goal on the platform is to develop a group game with a team of developers, a project which has been started but it is moving slowly as only two have gotten to work on it so far, with a third expected soon.
  4. My strong suit so far I’ve found is animations with the built in editor. I’ve tried a bit of map design in the past but wasn’t great. I’m not much of a programmer either, and it goes over my head.
  5. I’m excited to finally be able to talk here.

i started developing games a while back when i was just on roblox and i was curious and i went to the “Create” tab on top of the homepage and i did more research and i enjoyed making games for people to play, And i continued.My goals on this Platform is to someday make a profit on what i like doing (Creating games) i find it amazing that you can make money doing what you love to do.My achievements is that i learned how to build models i am getting better at programming but i am not there yet.
A role i can play in the developer community is a builder because i love building and lets me express my creativity through building models ect.
roblox is just an amazing platform to express your creativity and meet other great developers out there in the community build together is something i am looking forewords in the future of my journey on Roblox -mydogisred14!

Hello.
I have been on Roblox for a bit over 10 years now.
I enjoy programming on minor projects, and helping people with programming questions.
I don’t really have any goals or achievements on the platform. I just enjoy the platform for both games and programming to pass time.
I am currently pursuing a degree in computer science in post-secondary.

Hey there!

I’m Raylii, and I have a lot of inspiration.

This site has been a wonderful resource and has been the first thing to effectively start me on learning scripting.

I hope it keep it going, and make some interesting things!

I got… TWO TICKETS TO PARADICE!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    My younger cousins were playing Roblox about a year before I did, and one day one of them invited me to play Work at a pizza place with him.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    That’s a great question actually, so great not even I have a clear answer to it. But I think it was something like me wanting to make my own games, which I always did, and then finding out about Roblox Studio and starting to make games in it.

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Be a better builder, and I’m probably also gonna need to be better in digital art.

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Programmer, I’ve been programming for about 4 years. :stuck_out_tongue:

  5. Anything else you would like to include
    I love hugs :smiley:

Hey there. I am Ondrashek06, just another Roblox developer that doesn’t really know what to do and is making experiment games.
(1) I found Roblox primarily in YouTube videos, I was watching videos from a youtuber playing Minecraft but then switched over to Roblox.
(2) Well, I just opened Roblox Studio and was poking around.
(3) I am a Roblox player for over 2 years, but I just joined the DevForum (and made several threads). I am on Roblox almost everyday, finding new games that interest me and aren’t repetitive, like the new trend, Simulators.
(4) No one of these, if I had to classify myself in 2 words, I would do “Studio Experimenteer”.
(5) I am really addicted to Roblox, and I have been playing it since I was 11 and I am still here, when I am 13. With my new membership in the DevForum, I am also sure to check it for potential thread replies frequently. Honestly, I do not have much to do in Roblox now as most of the new games are just there for your Robux and not for your entertainment. So I instead play older games that at least have the potential to be something good over the time, and good/innovative games. I have many good ideas for Roblox games, but as I just cannot really work in Roblox Studio (I mean, I can use free models and place them, or put a LocalScript in Workspace, but that’s all and is definetely not enough to make my dream games. I do not know Lua yet enough.)

Hope you enjoyed reading a bit about me. I like communicating with the Roblox community in this forum and I’ll be sure to be more active here in the future.
Thank you for reading this thread, hope someone at least bothers to read this comment and not get unnoticed :confused:

  1. I found ROBLOX around 2009-2011 (can’t exactly remember) through online advertisements. I played as a guest for a while before making my first account in 2012. Then I made my current account in 2014 and have been using it since.

  2. I used ROBLOX Studio a lot back in 2012 when I first figured out how to, and I’ve used it ever since. I started getting into development around 2016-2017, and from then on I’ve been improving my building skills and getting more and more familiar with the system.

  3. My main goals on ROBLOX are to improve my skills on ROBLOX Studio (building + scripting) and hopefully create games on ROBLOX in the future.

  4. I’d say I’m a Builder, but I plan to look into scripting too.

  5. I haven’t got much else to include, but I do look forward to learning more about studio.

Hey!
I’m faIIschrimjagerr, but I usually go by ‘ferd’,

I found this platform during the early years of 2013 whilst introduced by a friend on Skype whom was associated with the military genre side of the platform. I discovered Graphic Designing in the years of 2017-18 when I was scrolling through the website, and saw an art made by @Kidveggito which inspired me to start raw with a rendering program which I’ve gotten back into, “Blender.” I, as of now, am currently relearning Blender and hope to improve in the far future!

Thank you, and have a great day!

Hey i’m Espelk!

I joined Roblox in 2015 after a friend told me about this platform.

I have always wanted to make a game of my own, and Roblox has made it possible for me to do so! I started off by making random things in Studio, and then improving them.

I like to make games/showcases in my spare time, but i usually never finish the project as a whole.:stuck_out_tongue:

I mainly build things, and i can also somewhat script. I am also learning GFX design.

My main goal on Roblox is to improve my games, and further better myself as a games developer, whether it be in building or programming!

Hello, my name is Graphxcal - as my name implies, I am a graphic designer. I first found Roblox in 2014 where I initiated my graphic designing career on this platform through mutual friends and through the curiosity of endless possibilities. I began development on this platform with graphic design shortly after becoming familiar with the community, where I then started selling my work to get into more mainstream graphics. My current goals on the platform is to form a stronger connection with the overall development community here on Roblox, as well as build up my career in which I’m so passionate about. As I stated previously, I am a graphic designer, but I also find time to casually build as I have quite a bit of experience with it. I am an overall friendly and interesting individual, and I am very passionate about what I do.

I’m not sure if it’s still important / useful to introduce myself (in this thread), but I figured it would likely be a better option for a first post than anything else.

I found Roblox as a result of my daughter watching YouTube (she’s five). She wanted to install it, which meant I installed it to play with her. It wasn’t long before I worked out that I could make my own games.

I’ve got a bit of history with creating websites, which turned out to use a similar language to Unity. And my graphic design skills assisted in modeling, texturing, and eventually animation.

While the learning curve for making use of Roblox Studio was fairly steep, it’s also much simpler in many ways; primarily by handling a good portion of player movement, physics, and server/client processes.

At the moment, I’m working on an interactive obstacle course, with a production/crafting and level-up system for players. This may be a temporary game, primarily being made to help me learn the software, systems, and scripting language.

I’ve also played with the idea of creating a fun park … mostly for my daughter to run around in (with me). As I learn, this idea becomes more viable as I see how quick/easy it could be done.

My main goal is to create a fantasy land where people can build houses and decorate them. But the materials for this would be found by traversing a ‘challenge path’. How long players can say in each field, and the level of each field they can visit, depends on their stats and abilities… in which, cooperative play would be beneficial. Naturally, other collectable resources would allow players to learn new abilities and improve their skills. I’m also toying with the idea of having farms, pets, and similar… but this will be a development added later in the game.

I’m also doing this solo for the moment, which means I’m taking care of all aspects of development; graphics, models/building, scripting, user interface, animation, custom physics, etc.

One thing I want to try to implement is an in game display with a live camera feed. I think I’ve worked out a way to do this, but will need to do some testing first.

It’s been 3 years since the post went over, but I still am excited to be promoted to the devforum community. It took me a LONG time to make it here, mostly because my impatient self keeps on thinking, “Oh, this is boring. Let’s make a game!”. So… Here I am! I am excited and a hard working developer, but I think that I am a starting, since I don’t know much about properties of parts, GUIS, etc. But I am a developer.

I mostly started on minecraft command blocks, then worked my way up to roblox since I was a fan of Denis (I don’t watch him anymore) and he switched to roblox, then I switched to roblox. The account I’m using right now (Vaelkarr) is an alternate account, because I really wanted that name and my friend said so anyway. My real account is “Largelol7”.

I had a lot of game ideas, like uhh… horror games. But I successfully made one that might work but it only works in studio, but not in game. I updated, and did ALT + P, but it never work. So, on christmas, my brother got an Nintendo Switch, and also Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We unlocked all the characters in 3 days, and after the first day, I got inspired! I made a game called “BloxFight!”, which is Super Smash Bros Ultimate, but in roblox. But, the one thing that crushed the dream, was, “LoadAnimation requires the Animator object (Animator) to be a descendant of the game object”. I don’t know what the error was, but if it was an easy error that you could fix, I would feel like a total noob developer.

I know that noob isn’t the way to say it, but I still think I am a new developer. Anyways, it is such an honor to be in the developer forum after all my hard work, I got accepted. So, thank you, and have a good day.

I found roblox randomly by searching online for fun kids games (back in 2013 when I was around 9/10 years old). My development enthusiasm began around 2015 when I started to teach myself how to script by extensively reading the API. From there, I began to design UI elements and work more on my creative aspects as opposed to my logical scripting aspects. My goals for roblox are to release a completely original game and start a well-functioning company releasing top-notch content for all ages to enjoy. Currently, I’d say my role lands around scripter (programmer) and UI designer (not GFX artist, wink). Final thing to say is that I LOVE piano! So if you are interested in music and what not, please drop me a message so we can discuss it because I can talk endlessly about music.
