Introduction thread for new forum members

Hey, I’m Mani, I’m nearly 16 years old from the UK and I’m excited to be part of the DevForum community.

I got started with development in Roblox around 3 years ago however I never made an official game I worked on. It was only recently when I got back into development and searched around for scripting tutorials and low-poly building.

I am currently working on a Simulator game and my goal is for it to be successful. After I have released my game, I will feel like I have accomplished something useful in 2020.

In the developing community, I would say my role is an Intermediate Builder and as of scripting, I am watching tutorials on youtube by @Alvin_Blox and I’m learning new crucial things to improve on my scripting abilities everyday.

Finally to end, I know it was an automatic system that welcomed me to the Forum however I would still like to say a thank you to the Roblox Staff and everyone in this forum. To me its an honour to be part of this. :slight_smile:

Hi all, my name is Autristically (ROBLOX Username).

  1. I joined ROBLOX since 2013 after browsing for games in google.
  2. I make games and building and designing of my own games that will attract people to visit my place and I greatly appreciate peoples feedback so that it’ll help me learn how to become a better builder.
  3. My current goals is to become a good programmer, so far I only know how to code using C# and C++ programming language and I barely know to code thing using ROBLOX Lua and I only know a few basic ROBLOX Lua coding, I wish someone can lecture me. So my goals is to master my Lua programming, so that I can code whatever I loves to code.
  4. Currently I must say I’m a builder and programmer.

I’m probably a bit late at this point, but I thought I may as well do it now.

Hello! I’m Voxelinator.
I’ve been around on Roblox for quite a while, mainly under other accounts, but since 2015 I have been known as my current form, Voxelinator.

I have always had a fascination with Information Security and just the whole idea of internet based security as a whole, after seeing so many stories about cyberattacks that even government entities (such as the UK NHS downtime caused by WannaCry in 2016-2017) have to pretty much put up with as a result of using outdated software that can’t be updated too often as the infrastructure is too important to risk a large update time, in case of bricking the OS completely.

I decided to start out simple by analyzing the situations from 2015 and onwards, and since then, I have seen that FilteringEnabled has been pretty good in combating exploits, but still work to figure out a way the community can easily implement things to fully protect themselves.

That’s really all I can say about myself on Roblox, apart from the fact I can script in Lua pretty much fluently, and even know a bit of JavaScript (primarily the Node.JS framework).

Thanks for reading!

Hello, I’m new to the devforum. I found Roblox back in 2014 on an account I’ve honestly just left behind. I first got into development when me and my friend made a simple lobby for an upcoming game we thought would be cool. Unfortunately that game didn’t do well but now we are working on more projects for Roblox. I am a builder and I am working on my programming and UI designing skills. I’m excited to see what the other developers of this forum have build!

It feels good to finally join a platform I’ve needed to.

Hello, my name is hxiuh, and I’m a showcase artist. I found ROBLOX via friends, and I thank them for it. My earliest games weren’t that great, but overtime, with learning, I’ve improved! My goal is to replicate the UE4 (Unreal Engine 4) photorealism that you get from those platform’s game. I’m a Builder, but mostly a showcase artist.

Good afternoon. I’m Hawk_Tech and it’s an honour to finally be accepted into the Development Forum making development more convenient when referencing to scripts and API as I learn how to script.

I found roblox in July 2012 where I then continued to play and started to develop on Roblox Studio in 2017 after I wanted to try building. Currently, I am great at building, but lack scripting which is my current goal of this year. My role in the developer community is Builder.

Hope to learn scripting well by the end of this year.

Hello, i’m crossbar and I have been developing on Roblox for over 5 years now (maybe more)! I like creating survival games, tycoons, building, and programming when i’m on the platform. It’s an honour to finally be able to talk on the forums now! I started programming after taking high school courses on the topic, and it immediately brought me to Roblox where I thought making games sounded like a great way to spend your time and when I heard you could potentially earn money from it, that was just icing on the cake. I hope that I can help people with any problems they might have as well as be able to communicate some issues that I might come across to help me on my Roblox journey! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey there! My name is aidanisacringe, or also known as Aidan. I’ve been on ROBLOX for a few years, I originally got to know Roblox off of a friend. Ever since, I saw all the amazing games and thought of doing the same. Now, I build on Roblox and enjoy what I’m doing. I got started with little things, but just kept getting better and bigger. To little designs, to knowing how to use terrain. I’m currently working on a game with another developer. It’s going to be a laser game, but with a unique way. As I’m currently a builder, I’m trying to learn how to script better on Roblox. I’d like to thank you for reading my post and I’m very excited to use the DevFourms more. Have an amazing day! :slight_smile:

  1. I found Roblox back in 2012 from my siblings playing it. I was interested in it when I saw my brother playing it so I decided to have him sign me up and went from there. Here I still am, 7 years later.

  2. I hung out at a LOT of cafes back in/around 2015. I really wanted to contribute towards them so I began building (I wasn’t good at all). I then took a (long) break, and came back to building in November of 2019.

  3. I want to get better at building, and possibly get noticed a bit. I take some pride in my work, but others seem to enjoy it far more than I do.

  4. Builder

Hello, im pretty new to the developer scene in roblox and just wanted to say hello. I started to play roblox back in 2015 and i am still playing it to this day. I started my first project in 2018 and got interested in developing myself. I made many games for various group to just improve my skills. I consider myself more of a Scripter than anything else, but i am also pretty decent at building. I hope to meet many great people in here.

Hello, as many people do here, I will introduce myself.

I first played Roblox at around 2016, which was due to probably the influence of Youtube. I was only on Roblox for the games by then, no acknowledgement for Studio. That was until two years later where I decided to learn how to develop in Studio, and it really seemed fun, I gained new information each time, and with that new information, I would somehow try to make something in Studio. As for achievements, I’d saying nothing. Lastly, I’m a programmer, that’s what inspired me to be creative.

Hello! My name is Ultra. I am a new member of devforum (obviously). I am also a new scripter so please bear with me. I played Roblox around 2015 because of my friend and also because of youtube. My goal is to become a great scripter like the rest, but it seems I have a long way to go…

Anyways, looking forward to working with other devs!

Thank you for reading,

Hello! Before I answer the format above I would like to say thank you for accepting onto this amazing platform.

I found ROBLOX from a friend back in 2014 when we were hanging out, from there I found out about ROBLOX Studio and what I could all do with it. Once I starting playing with studio I recognized that I could create my own world full of imagiation, so like any 8 year old at that time I started my journey on this amazing platform. Over time I have created goals for myself to achieve, some of my goals are being invited to RDC, creating a couple front page games, and keep growing my knowledge in development. My main role in this community is being a Builder, other things I do as a side job are GFX and I am learning Programming currently. Furthermore, on this platform I plan to keep growing my knowledge and achieve my dreams.

From, TrevorJoey

Hey there, I’m Josh and I first heard about Roblox in about 2014 but didn’t think anything of it until 2016, when I created my account.

I first got into GFX when I took a good look at some thumbnails and icons of games and I saw the characters looked much better than a normal avatars. I then started watching YouTube tutorials and I got really into it.

My current goals are to improve my lighting and background of my GFXs.

And as you may have guessed, I am a GFX Artist.

Seven years ago, a friend of mine recommended the game to me. I signed up with the mindset that Roblox was going to be similar to Minecraft, a very popular game at the time. While mistaken, I had no regrets joining the platform.

I began using Roblox Studio from an early age, mostly experimenting with free models and uncopylocked games. Later on, I began building basic things, such as houses.

My current goals/achievements on the platform is to become an acclaimed builder and to have the capability of building amazing maps and showcases. I also want to become a better GFX artist and possibly make some money off of it as well.

My role in the developer community is a mediocre GFX artist, however I’d like to learn how to build as well.

Hey there, I’m PezzoGuy (would have been just Pezzo but the account with that name has been inactive for 11 years, go figure).

I can’t remember how I discovered Roblox as I’ve been playing it for over 15 years at this point, back when you could move by clicking a green circle on the ground and The Underground War was considered the pinnacle of development.

I’ve always wanted to make a game, and Roblox seems like a convenient platform. I was just getting back into 3D modeling when I came across an obscure game called Attrition, and I started to offer “ideas” for improvements I’d make on the game that was currently made of free models and such, which was more of a general application for becoming part of staff. Eventually I was brought on and I picked up related roles like animation and graphics, which prompted me to take Roblox development and the community more seriously. At the moment I’d like to see this game that I model for be successfyl

I am primarily a modeler with some skill in animations, graphic design, and building. Someday I’d like to learn LUA scripting, but the other pursuits I mentioned take up most of my time at the moment. Broadly, my interests essentially cover almost all aspects of game development. Creation in general is my passion.

I look forward to contributing to this forum and community.
