I joined the Devforum awhile ago, but never introduced myself, so time to say hi!
My name is Anon, I was on roblox for 3 years. (5 actually but I lost my other acc).
For the first 2 years here, I was stupid and made games with just free models etc. I deleted all of those games and looked forward. I learned to script and build and I am still learning more. I know basic scripting and building. I messed up a couple of the times on the forum, sure yes, I got 2 strikes, but that was in the past. So here’s my format!
How did you find Roblox?
I found Roblox off of Youtube when I was still young (I don’t really like saying my age here), I never had anything to play it on though, and back then I was not even allowded to download stuff on our old Laptop. Still did it though. NO REGRETS. I made my first account, I don’t remember the name at all. I literally made 5 different accounts and forgot the pass to all of them, then I finally made a name and pass (that I actually still use!) and made my first full on account, I bought robux and got some stuff like the shiny teeth face, attack doge etc. Then, done, I got addicted to roblox and spent alot of my time here.
How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Everyone has an awful start, ESPECIALLY ME, my first game was made in the city template with drooling zombies and some free model cars, terrible, but you could still play it. Later my stupid brain forgot the pass to my old account so I had to create this account, on this account I finally began to watch tutorials on how to make stuff. After watching a million episodes of “scripting for begginers”, those did not really help so I just began writing random stuff like game.Workspace and saw what would pop up, that got me basic skills like changing gravity etc, later I began scavenging through free models and trying to find out what the script does, luckily alot of scripts have customizable options and little notes on if you want to tweak stuff, those really helped me and after that I knew how to select parts in workspace and make GUI on screen change etc. That was enough for me, I began watching more complicated tutorials and downloaded a scripting helping plugin called CK Studio+, that got me to learn how to use transparency in scripts, cancollide and more. Now I just watch tutorials if I’m confused on something and add the stuff the way the tutorial said.
Current goals/achievements on the platform
I recentely hit 1,900 visits but I had to put the game on private due to the other developer not getting any robux as it was going straight to my account, so I moved it to my groups, now I have to wait more, as I only have 1,140-something visits, but that’s still amazing. I got the bricksmith badge and earned around 145 something robux (that’s still pending), also amazing!
What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I do scripting, building and GFX, all which are fun, although I suck at all of them. But it’s still very fun to try and practise!
Anything else you would like to Include?
Honestly, I never thought I would even get 100 visits or even earn 1 robuk, but it all happend. 145 robux, 1,900 visits, absolutely amazing, and I just want to say that you shouldn’t doubt yourself, you can do it, trust me.
