Introduction thread for new forum members

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, Iā€™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 Iā€™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 itā€™s needed. :+1:

Iā€™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 ā€œPrison Life v2.0ā€ 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 ā€œTrigger Fingerā€; 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 donā€™t like doing. I am not very concentrated on graphical effects as I simply want minimalism and donā€™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!

Hello!

My name is Xontez and am mostly known for making GFX, Game Icons, Game Thumbnails, and UI Designing! I also am pretty good at scripting and it feels great to be a part of this community.

  1. My son wanted to play Roblox so I started playing it to check out the platform first. And now we play it together loads, and now my daughter has just started alsoā€¦
  1. Iā€™ve been a software dev for years, mostly .NET so I thought it would be cool to make a game my kids can play in Roblox so now Iā€™m learning Lua.
  1. Iā€™m currently just trying to finish my first game :slight_smile:
  1. Iā€™m sole developer, builder, designer etcā€¦ but my core skills are development.
  1. Thanks for reading, Iā€™m really hoping to get some advice on the Lua side of things and just how the whole scripting of Roblox games hangs together and what can and canā€™t be done client/server side and how you know whether you are on the server or client-side. Iā€™ve done tons of web development and found the client/server split pretty easy to pick up but Iā€™m really struggling with Roblox for some reason :frowning: I think it might be because itā€™s all the same language both server and clientā€¦ but anyway, itā€™s all good fun! thanks, see you around

Hell, Iā€™m ION_O, but my friends refer to me as Ion.

I have been on this platform for about 7 years, and started developing around 6 years ago. It wasnā€™t until the upcoming years where I started to become professional and show a certain style to my work.

As of today, I am taking my first steps into becoming a member of the Roblox Development Community, and this is what I have been hoping to do from the start.

Itā€™s great to see you all here and I hope to see you all active on the forms,

In 2016, My cousin showed me a game on ā€˜ROBLOXā€™ on his phone, I thought it was pretty cool that people made games and paosted them in a big game, instead of just 1 simple game. So I decided to join. I started coding in C# and realised that I can start making games that now Iā€™m good at c# lua wont be too hard, so I went on learned lua and now im here! As a game developer on ROBLOX. My goal is to make 1 page and make it last on the front page for at least a single day, or to just make a game and get at least 100 active/current players for a few days straight! In this community, I have joined as a Programmer/Scripter mainly because I find it cool that you can just tell a computer what to do with a set of instructions and it will do just that. I wish everyone good luck and that they leave a mark on the community and create awesome games! Good Luck everyone!

Hello, my name is Mashup_Layerz (you may refer to me as Mash or Quad if you please) and I like making models and Iā€™m good at drawing! The first time Iā€™ve discovered Roblox is when my older brother showed me on his computer. Not much else but I wish I want to become an artist soon. Thanks you reading and I hope you have a nice day!

Hello, Iā€™m new here to the developer forum, and it feels great to finally be here.

Iā€™ve been on Roblox for about 4 years now and Iā€™m currently 16 years old, meaning I joined when I was 12 years old. About a year into playing Roblox I joined the anime Roblox game community and have been with it for 3 years. I began modeling early 2019, and although I feel pleased with my work, which led me here to get better criticism on my work.

P.S. Iā€™ve mainly do low-medium poly weapon models, still practicing.

First of all, I know this will be lost in the other replies by great scripters and developers but Iā€™d like to write this for myself mostly.

1. How did you find Roblox?

Iā€™ve been playing roblox for years. It was my favorite game as a kid growing up, starting at around 3rd - 4th grade. I wasnā€™t really big on the community but I played a lot, didnā€™t make many friends but thatā€™s ok.

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

Well I got started by watching DevKings Videos, he seems like he has the right knowledge and skills but as a new scripter itā€™s kind of hard to follow why he does some things. Because of this, I often have the api open as well.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
Ultimately, my goal is to achieve a respectable amount of skills in scripting and the development process as a whole. In fact, Iā€™d like to surpass those with more experience with me. I like to believe that I could use the knowledge of current scripters as a stepping stone, no offense. Their skills will allow my skills to develop as well, if that makes sense.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

I am a Scripter.

5. Anything else you would like to include?

Iā€™d like to say that I appreciate knowledge at all levels, I like seeing a community of people work together to bring everyone up. I am a very diligent and hard worker, Iā€™d like to believe, and in the future when I do accomplish my goals Iā€™d like to be there for the community of people with less knowledge than I. I know itā€™s kind of optimistic, I know, but in the past 3 weeks of learning, 3 weeks as of today 6/29/20, Iā€™ve found something to drive me. Itā€™s really a fun experience so far and Iā€™d really like to build a presence here. Also, I am 17 going into my senior year so I kind of have a late start but, that wonā€™t stop me from trying to be one of the best.

Hey guys, hope you guys are having a wonderful day. I finally got promoted to member and am very excited to be a part of this community!

Iā€™ve been on Roblox for so long that I forgot how I found it, but it has influenced a huge change in my life and sparked my interest in programming and development.

I first started development trying to make a game based on an anime called Sword Art Online. Back then I just wanted to be the ā€˜game directorā€™ and hire a bunch of developers, I had 0 knowledge about development back then so I was practically just trying to be an ā€˜ideas manā€™ sort of member to the development team. After getting together a bunch of developers together and telling them my idea and what each of our roles is, including mine, they did not react in any sort of way over the call. However, later on, the team broke apart and kicked me off the development project because I served no purpose on the development team. After that, I kept opening Roblox Studio now and then and watching lots of youtube videos to learn to script. The first code I made printed ā€œHello World,ā€ and then I just made a bunch of different things from there on!

Right now, I am working on a sword-fighting game that is influenced by Sword Art Online to an extent, and by lots of other MMORPGs. I am doing everything for the game by myself, and that is the commitment I have made to myself - to make a game by myself. So, I do GFX, UI, Programming, Building, 3D Modeling, SFX, Marketing, etc.

I really look forward to contributing to this community a lot more now that I have become a member, and I look forward to working with all of you!

Thanks,
Best regards,
IdealistDeveloper

It is very much appreciated to be accepted as a Member. Itā€™s been some time for me trying to obtain this rank but I finally am able to be more involved in the community!

My username is Aesorial and I started playing Roblox in 2014 while I was watching youtubers playing this game. However, I only begun developing in 2016 and put my focus towards the building aspect of development. Though, I do have some knowledge on 3D Modeling and Scripting, they are too novice to consider myself a developer in those categories. My goal is to improve my skills in Building and potentially 3D Modeling and Scripting too. Iā€™m exciting to work on any future projects I am involved with and I appreciate the opportunity to do so through the Roblox Devloper Forum.
