Introduction thread for new forum members

1: I found ROBLOX through a YouTube ad back in 2011, I started playing some games and was hooked. I only recently started getting into the development aspect of ROBLOX.
2: My first development experience was when I took over my friend’s group called Canada Army 1940’s. It was a large undertaking that actually was going well for a bit, until activity died off.
3: My current goal is to grow my hotel and expand to multiple other types of groups, all based off of the “Beverly” name. I will own a Cafe, Studio, and a Hotel all under “Beverly Incorporated”.
4: I am mainly a builder, but am currently trying to teach myself how to script.
5: I love this platform and I hope I get somewhere in it.

Heyo! My name is Sakura (my online name) and I am a GFX Artist! I first found Roblox when I was little, I think I found it in 2015, but used a guest account. Anyway, I actually have only started Development in the last year or so, making me not the best but not the worst. For the future, I want to make my own game, with advanced scripting and some great building. I want to make it a Fairytale/Adventure type of game too, that’d be awesome! As I’ve previously stated, I am a GFX Artist but I’m hoping to start building and scripting games too. Finally, I just wanted to say thank you to the Roblox Community! Everyone is so nice here and I hope I can fit in! Thank you! :black_heart:

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    Well, when I first entered Roblox (2017) I found it as a form of entertainment. As time went by I came across good games and asked myself … How do they make those games so beautiful? and there I discovered Roblox Studio.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I started doing small constructions for projects that I had. A fighting game, etc …

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I discovered a platform full of people who have many talents just like me.

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I am being a Builder. Especially for projects that I have to develop.

  5. Anything else you would like to include
    I am developing a horror game called “Demonized Bodies”. And I would love for people to help me in my project

I am kartieboy45urp and have been part of the Roblox community for about 8 years now.

  1. I found Roblox because 2 of my friends played at that time.

  2. I started on development in the summer of this year when I wanted to work on a game idea I had thought of a few years ago.

  3. I hope to achieve my game becoming successful on roblox and perhaps one day win a bloxy award.

  4. My role is mainly a scripter/builder though I have some experience with GFX and UI Designing.

  5. Nope that is all. I am just grateful to be on Roblox.

Hello everyone! Im THEREALCQUICKSCOPER and happy to finally be here.
I found roblox at the age of 9, and at the start it only was a form of entertainment.
At a more responsible age, i found out about RoAviation, a branch dedicated to aviation, for me it was awesome, and i wanted to take a part of it. At the start everything looked hard and my first creation were terrible. But after some practice things started to get better and better.
My goal is simply to get better everyday, and maybe one day, i would even win a bloxy award.
Im an expirienced builder and a novice programmer.
I have so many projects that i want to make: A roleplay about modern Russia, the replica of the Moscow Metro, and so much more!

Hey Developers!

I’m luaGared, a 13-year-old gameplay programmer from a small South American country called “Guyana”. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a computer enthusiast and when I discovered Roblox (about 4 years ago) I couldn’t believe I missed out on such an immerse platform, it wasn’t until 3 years later that I discovered I can make my own Roblox games and that’s when I had to choose which path I wanted to go down, I chose to program and have loved it ever since. I hope my addition will be a great one!

Thank you for accepting me into the DevForum!

Sincerely, luaGared

Hi, happy to be accepted :grinning:. I’m a scripter, been at it for about 2 weeks but it’s not been too steep a learning curve because I’ve dealt with Python before, so the basic basic knowledge was already there. I’m just trying to earn enough money to not have to bother my parents too much during uni so I’ll be freelancing a lot I guess, making my own front page sounds like a tough task to mix in with A-levels… yeah, that’s about it for me lol, have a nice day :kissing_heart:

Hello, I have been in the DevForum for a while but I haven’t formally introduced my self.
I am a scripter that Does tutorials here and there I like learning new things about scripting and If I feel like the community wants to know and doesn’t I will tell them.
I am a small dev with about like less than 17k visits.
Yeah and that’s it if you have any questions just ask me.

Greetings! First of all it’s amazing to be part of this amazing community!

Alright and now a bit about me:

I’m Niestrat99, a German guy who is currently learning the programming language Lua and Java - I’m currently learning more Lua than the other one though.

I found out about Roblox through Youtube videos back in the days where there weren’t Rthro characters yet.

When I used Roblox Studio the first time I felt like making a little world where you could drive some race cars on a little race track. Back then I didn’t know anything about scripting or programming in general. Later on I started getting interested in learning Java first and then a few months later I started learning how to Script in Roblox studio using AlvinBlox’s tutorial series.

My current goals of this platform is to make a fun racing game with items, tons of customization and such. It’ll be a long way but I’m sure that I’ll be able to reach this goal someday!

I can’t quite tell in which role I should put myself in but I like to script, build and make GFX!

Lastly it’s an honor to be accepted into the Developer Forum and I hope to be able to help as much as I can!

Hello I am v_ile, as my username says.

I found Roblox a long time ago on some advertisement in 2007 or 2008. I played various games and had fun. I eventually made an account in 2012 and made my current one in 2015. I got involved with game development when my friend said I should build in Roblox because I am good at building in other games.
My end all goal is to have a front page game like most other people, however my current goal that I am steadily working towards is making a complete and fully functional game. My role in the development community is currently being a builder, but I do play several different instruments, and I know how to program in Java, so I can do a few different things.
If you read this far, thank you. I will catch ya’ll later.

I found Roblox from my sister showing me it and she had fun! So I figured I would give it a try in 2017 on my alt account. I started development today actually, and I’m having fun figuring it out! I’m currently making a tiny house or cabin sort of thing. My goal for the house I’m making is to try and get a creative name, and have people enjoy it. My role would be Builder.

Did you purposely spell wrong?

Hi
I am not sure how I found Roblox but I think it was on youtube or App Store in 2018

Greetings, I’m DominoContributing, and I specialize and focus on building currently as for developing.

Apparently made an account for the DevForums two years back, but just earned member recently (which was rough getting in) so I might as well make this introduction post.

Roblox has been a childhood game to me after hearing some word about it several years back, so I’ve been on the platform for quite a while now. Got started with development as part of long-term curiosity on how these games work, but mainly focused on the building aspect of it with detailing and all.

Overall goals at the moment is to work on mesh modeling and finding better building techniques that can be used in the future. Working on learning more on the programming aspect could be another thing, I think this forum could be a decent source for help if it’s needed. :+1:

I’m someone who really likes to get on the creative side. I like building/creating projects, making sketch art, and composing music as well as playing the piano.

Anyways, hoping that I get more engaged here on these devforums, and hope that the statement ages well.

I found Roblox when I was looking for fun games to play so I would not be so bored. I got started with development by scripting basic things and reading the API reference. My current goals are to make a game on the front page and to become an expert at scripting. Currently, my role in the developer community is a programmer. Overall, I am excited to be part of this community.

Hello Everyone! I found ROBLOX way back when around 2008 or earlier. I started developing by messing around with studio and eventually became interested in making my own games and environments from scratch. When I first started my internet was so bad I could not reliably play multiplayer so studio became a go to sandbox for me at the time.

Currently I am working with a group of friends on various projects under Terminal Studios and hope to be able to show everyone what we have been working on soon. I have participated in various contests in the past as well and made a number of showcases that became decently popular. Primarily my role would be Builder as that is my favorite thing to work on though I also work on GFX etc. and I also work on meshes using other programs quite frequently.

If your interested in our groups projects and want to see a cool space station test environment you can go here to our groups Portfolio place!

  1. A relative
  2. Mainly because I had the opportunity to meet some big developers.
  3. To create a successful ROBLOX game and help my friends with development.
  4. I am a builder (somewhat good) I am getting into UI Designing and Learning scripting.
  5. I never knew I would get to be a member of this community, but now I am!

1. How did you find Roblox?

I originally found Roblox through YouTube. I originally became a regular when I started playing a game called “Prison Life v2.0” which used to be the #1 game on Roblox. Yes, I have played Roblox for long enough to know the days before Jailbreak and Adopt Me took over the front page.

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

I was quite bored in quarantine this year and decided that I wanted to actually use all of my extra time productively. I learned how to do basic scripting by watching Alvinblox tutorials and eventually picking up on things and concepts used in the tutorials. After about 2 months of scripting, I have outgrown the tutorials and have moved on to getting help from the official Roblox API reference and DevForums which finally allowed me to post things.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform

Right now, I am simply just trying to make a decent first game. I will be releasing a beta build for a game called “Trigger Finger”; I think it will be out by mid July. My goal is simply for the game to get 1000 visits to cement my place as an emerging Roblox developer.

4. What is your role in the developer community?

I can perform any role in creating a Roblox game to a level of an amateur but I prefer scripting the most. Modeling is very time consuming for me and it is generally something I don’t like doing. I am not very concentrated on graphical effects as I simply want minimalism and don’t want to get over the top with myself.

5. Anything else you would like to include

I would like to see if there are any intermediate concepts I should really learn. Feel free to leave them in the replies!
