Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello I am cam_Guy,

I found roblox back in the beginning of 2017. I found it on the App Store of my phone. My first game to play was Meep City. Back then, games were not as complex as they are now and I fell in love with roblox. The amazing avatar features made it seem like you could always be what you want to be. How I got started with Roblox Development was me and my cousin were very interested in mining games as games like Treasure Hunt Simulator and Mining Simulator just came out. Me and my cousin took on a very small project where I scripted the game and he built the game. It was alright for both of us being first time Roblox Developers. From there my journey began as a programmer/scripter.

As a programmer for Roblox, many tasks come up and you have to work through them or work around them. I made many mini projects between 2017 and 2019. In early 2019, I released my first big game called Chest Collecting Simulator. The game now has almost 1 million visits and has been out for over a year now. In early 2020, I started on a new game with Temtaken Studios called Robot Simulator. The game was a huge success and has lead me to make more games with other developers on the platform.

My current goals on roblox are to work on more games with other developers, do some solo projects by myself, dev ex a big amount, make a front page game, get better at programming, and be a better me as I am always wanting to improve. I have been on the Roblox Developer Forum for over a year now and I am always looking for new things to do!

My role in the community is a Programmer.

Thank you Roblox for this opportunity.

Hello, I am LifeDigger. I would like to thank everyone who is on the forum for making it a great place to be as a developer.

I found Roblox from my friend. He lives about 2 hours from were I live so we played Roblox to have some fun together. I got started with developing on Roblox because of the events that have been going on so I could use my time with good things. I did start developing a little before but not much as I did not have that much time. My current goal is to make a game that is working with someone else who is a programmer as I am a builder myself. I am a builder as I told you but I am not sure how to change my role on the forum so if someone can help me by telling me that would be great. I have nothing else to say but to never give up even when times may seem hard.

Thanks for reading my introduction,
LifeDigger

Hi, Iā€™m CaptainSwoosh. To preface this, Iā€™m hoping that I can look back on this first post on the devforum as a reference to see how far Iā€™ve come. Iā€™m a big advocate for written goals, so Iā€™ll be writing down some Roblox-related ones in foreseeable aspiration.

I initially found Roblox in ā€˜09 and played as a guest until 2014. When I joined, I was addicted to town games. They had a certain vibe that just made the Roblox world feel like home. I want to bring that vibe back in my future projects.

As for my history, in 2016 I began working on drawing but quickly switched to work on freelance graphic design projects as it fit better for me. I did this for various groups. I also moderated several servers, groups, and games as well as having a short Roblox cafe stage in 2017, working for groups like Frappe and Fizze, but I donā€™t talk about that too much. Haha. I also later expanded to work on sound effects, music composition, small scripts, building architecture, 3D modeling with Blender, clothing design, French translation, and even idea curation. I became a jack of all trades and now I am trying to focus my pathway towards full stack game design.

Some of my past projects include:

  • Official Island Royale Logo/Icon
  • Them Magazines Cover
  • Superhero Tycoon Icon
  • Greek Elias YouTube Logo
  • Water Wars Icon and Logo
  • Tabla Rusa Studiosā€™ ā€‹Shadow Run French Translation

I originally applied to join the devforum in 2018 and was not successful. I am beyond thankful for the privilege to now contribute to this forum filled with accomplished developers.

Hi! Iā€™m new here. This is my first public post. And Iā€™ll be talking about myself:

  1. By watching YouTube videos. xD
  2. I wanted to be part the Developers community and create things for others to enjoy.
  3. Probably Iā€™ll make logos.

Yeah, I know, not much info, but Iā€™m just happy to have finally joined and be able to develop great things. ^-^

I found Roblox back in early 2018 when searching for games that allow you to explore (pretty much adventure).

I started with game development on roblox when I saw how good developers have it on roblox to impress my friends (it totally worked btw lol).

My current goal is to become better at scripting and building and to join a popular group as a dev.

I am mostly a programmer but also a builder, I can sort of model and make gfxā€™s.

Hey everybody!

Iā€™m EthanRichterian and Iā€™m a builder and 3D modeler. Iā€™m always looking for ways to improve my work and learn new things. Currently making a horror-style escape game with a couple of my friends. Thanks for reading!

Greetings! My name is Tevin (ImTevinOkay on ROBLOX). I just wanted to stop by and leave a quick introduction message for you all.

Iā€™ve joined ROBLOX in 2011, the first game Iā€™ve played being a Jaws game. I wasnā€™t quite familiar with the platforms but eventually, it became a really fun and exciting platform to be apart of. It has since become an honor to be apart of this community.

Iā€™m currently not a developer, however, Iā€™m known for my previous management positions for well-known developers. I always try to get involved in new communities and positions where Iā€™m able to bring forward something new and exciting, which has prompted my growing list of experiences.

My current goals is to find something permanent related to management, considering I am not a developer (eg; scripter, builder etcā€¦), in a community that has great values and a good reputation.

Iā€™m a pretty outgoing person, so if you ever have any questions or would just like to read out, please feel free to at any time.

Welcome @CaptainSwoosh to the Roblox Developer Forum !! :smile:

Hello, Iā€™m Arvensis, Iā€™ve been playing ROBLOX since 2012 and is hugely interested in making games that people can enjoy!

I would say I am an intermediate Graphics Designer, UI artist, everything art related and I am looking forward to further improve my skills in different sections.

Currently, I am working on a high potential game that would mark my success on this platform.

Nice to meet you all! :smile:
Here is what Iā€™ve done recently:

Hey there! Iā€™m ChoosyCrowd408, but most people just call me Choosy. Iā€™m glad to be invited to join the Developer Forum, so Iā€™d thought Iā€™d do an introduction.

I first found Roblox after my friends kept talking about, so Iā€™d thought I should join. I made an account in 2017, and even though I havenā€™t been here for a long time compared to some other developers, Iā€™ve still had some great experiences on this platform! Iā€™ve always considered starting to build my own game, but Iā€™ve never really fully gone through with it until recently. Iā€™m trying to work on improving my programming and UI design skills, but I can still build and model a few simple things. Iā€™m also somewhat decent at making digital music, but thatā€™s not my primary focus on Roblox and I usually donā€™t make music just for this platform. Iā€™m currently working on my own project, and since itā€™s my first big project and Iā€™m working by myself, Iā€™m learning quite a few things along the way! I hope I can be a great addition to this community and be as helpful as I possibly can. If you have any questions or concerns at all, feel free to message me!

Thanks,
ChoosyCrowd408

Hello, I am Anthonychi. I found Roblox when I was introduced to it when I saw someone else playing this game and I wanted to see what it was like for myself.

I got started with development by creating some places and messing around with the tools available in the Roblox Studio, learning from free models in the toolbox and by searching for tutorials online.

Eventually, I want to make a game that many people will enjoy and keep playing with perhaps 100-200 players playing at all time.

Iā€™m a mix of a builder and a programmer, but I prefer programming over building.

Hello, I am Dan. I found Roblox when I saw an advertisement back in December 2017, and I love it.

I get started from messing with Miners Haven, using Developer Forum, and API Documentation is really helping me out

Making a functional and enjoyable game by the end of July

I am a beginner in all of it, so I wanted to be all of the role to explore my potential, so far I am a mix of Builder, UI/UX Designer, and Programmer

I found roblox about 6 years ago, when I was quite young. My first account was called ā€œAwesomelittlegamer3ā€. I got started with development when I first met an owner of a game, J_143. He is really, who got me started in big development. My main aim is to get a game on the front page that all of the players can enjoy. My main role is programming. I started out as a builder, but then transitioned into a programmer. Thatā€™s pretty much it, leads us to today where I am now an advanced programmer and builder! Well, thanks for reading my reply, Bye!

Hi everyone.

I just want to say that Iā€™m very happy to finally be a Member on the forum. I have read many posts already.

I found Roblox through my kids to be honest. I was amazed at the amount of games on the platform and after some investigation I found Roblox Studio. Even though I am fairly new to Roblox I am not new to game development and have worked on many other game engines. My current focus is just to learn as much as I can. Most of my experience is on the graphics side but I am working hard to improve on the scripting sideā€¦:slight_smile:

I hope to learn a lot from you guys but hopefully I can also share a bit of what I have learned up till now.

Cheers

Hello there, Iā€™m Crazy Captain and, I just got promoted to member and, Iā€™d like to introduce myself.

  1. So I found about Roblox, when I heard about it as a great platform to play and develop games.
  2. So when I started to play roblox, I wanted to also create a game like other developers, because development on Roblox seemed interesting to me, so thatā€™s why I started learning scripting in Roblox.
  3. So my goal is to create a game that players find enjoyable and, be a famous Roblox developer.
  4. Iā€™m a UI Designer

Thatā€™s all, thanks for the time you spent on reading this!

Hi Iā€™m also new to this forum and I found Roblox through my cousin whoā€™s pushing me to be a Game developer. I got started in 4th grade dabbled a little bit then forgot about Roblox when my computer got it wiped of a virus. I rejoined in 2018 and made an obby called Into The Air Crusier. I didnā€™t learn programming / scripting from 2018 - 2019. This summer I started fresh and learned from the basics, I know my basic syntax of Lua and I want to get better at programming, building, and maybe GFX. My role in this community is programmer. I canā€™t wait to know and help you guys if I can. I also need help for my new game coming soon called Cloud Kingdom another obby.

Hello, I found Roblox when I was around 10(Currently 16)! But then I noticed Roblox studio and decided to mess around with it! I have been hooked ever since! But I never took it as seriously until recently so I came on to the DevForum to find tutorials or inspiration to a new game I would love to bring to the Roblox atmosphere! I have been a gamer all my life on console and now moving to PC it is a great experience! But one game I truly love is Call Of Duty, I hope to eventually bring a game like this to light as something new and something no one else is doing! Happy to be here!

Hello, I am grateful to finally be a member of this forum.

I found ROBLOX a while back from a sibling who played the game.

I only recently started with development on the ROBLOX platform, building things for the first time. At first it was a bit tricky, but very quickly I got the hang of things.

I am a builder.
