Introduction thread for new forum members

hi

happy to build anything for you

Hey I am NtinosgrBUX, I have found Roblox randomly in a thread back in 2013 and have decided to give it a try, since then I have been an active user for the next 7 years. I have been developing on Roblox for 2 years now and I just recently found out about DevForum. I am a programmer and my current goal is to get better at coding games and making them in general. Lastly I am very excited to be a part of this community and thank you for accepting me in it!

oi

Glad to be a member on the forum! I go by way too many names, but here I’m TheRedSwordsman. I’ve joined. I’ve been playing ROBLOX for a few years now. A couple of years ago I got into scripting, but I’m now seeking to improve my programming skills the next level. I also do some developing with Java and C#.

Hi! Im new here and my name is ocean! I found out about ROBLOX 7 years ago! I was around 7 at that time too. I feel so nostalgic when I remember old ROBLOX! I started developing games 2 years ago but it went nowhere so I quit for a year and came back to developing 2 months ago. My current goals to achieve is to finish my game and make money out of it! My role in the developer community is to be a builder and a GFX designer.

Hello!
I’m Devfine and I’ll be checking in to contribute with the communication on this platform! Here are some things about me :

How I found Roblox - I was introduced to Roblox by friends.

Started Developing - I have been making games since I started Roblox. They were terrible toolbox messes but it got me used to the Roblox Studio engine for me to make use of now.

Goals and Achievements - I have made some alright games, my most sucessful surprisingly being my first ever game at 50 thousand visits before it was privated. I aim to expand my Development group and finish some projects!

Role - I do a bit of everything really but my main 3 is Artwork, Building and Scripting.

Anything Else - This is basically me. I’m glad to be a part of this forum and expect to see me around, thanks!

I’m Epicgamer545lol, and I’m a beginner builder trying to figure things out and make games (Well, kind of).

I found Roblox by finding it’s fan base, and maybe misspelling robots on google.

After sometime, I downloaded Roblox Studio because of seeing some modeling videos and time lapses. Trust me, it was hard the first time. I figured out how to make stuff, and I want to learn more! I want to reach out and talk to other devs, so, you can call me a noob, I guess.

I have 2 games that I use to play with frends, and planing to make a actual game (One hangout, one obby/hangout).

Right, so, if I done anything wrong with this post, ask me, I will edit it.

Thank you!

Lets see if you are the master of binary!

Hey there, I have my account almost for an year now and I love roblox. I find it by just searching for some games, and then I found the holy Roblox!.

I was starting to learn making games because of the other games that where so popular, and start watching YouTube tutorials about it.

My goal is to reach 10K plays on my newest project that I am working on!

I am an builder, and I am currently learning how to script too!

That’s it! Thanks for reading! :slight_smile:

Welcome to Roblox! :slight_smile:

Hello! I am glad to be a new member of the DevForum and I am a scripter and builder here on Roblox :slight_smile:

I found Roblox in my preteens around 2008 through an ad. From there I enjoyed playing games like obstacle courses such as ā€œBe Eaten By A Noob!ā€ and tycoons like Defaultio’s Lumber Tycoon.

As a curious mind I was very entertained with demolition and destruction so I created games that allowed you to demolish buildings with rocket launchers, eventually moving up to a very early version of my current main game that I have been working on called ā€œNuclear Bomb Testing Facilityā€, a roleplaying sandbox game that allows you to roleplay as a scientist, performing nuclear tests on a canyon.

Pre-2015 I was originally pretty impatient when it came to watching tutorials on how to script so I replied gaining experience through reverse engineering free models along with their scripts hoping to understand more about the platform.

Fast forward to the last two years, I have been constantly studying the Roblox Dev Wiki along with scouring this forum along with ā€œScriptingHelpersā€ for ways to solve problems that I run into; along with creating random experimental games to help me learn further.

So far, I’ve developed my NBTF (Nuclear Bomb Testing Facility) game quite far now and have amassed close to 800k visits and 23k+ favourites, along with a small following that I am proud of for it.

I hope that by being on this forum that it will help me further evolve as a developer on Roblox and I look forward to continue working on creating fun games for the community.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions and/or would be interested in working together on a future project, or to simply be friends :slight_smile:

I’m new here and I recently took up animating, I’m here because I’d love to help others if they need help with their issues.
I found Roblox a few years ago as a platform to play games on. For the past year, I’ve been in myriads of groups and I sometimes felt bad that I couldn’t help in any way. I tried Scripting, Building, GFX making, Morph Making and finally after a long break, animating. I currently animate and I enjoy doing it, I now help many groups. My goals on this platform are to help newer people to animating with their issues. I want to offer my skills to other groups and I also want to make this community better by reviewing posts and comments and flagging them or giving feedback. My role in this community is Animating. All I want to add is that Its a pleasure to be given this opportunity to help out in this community.

Hello, my name is Raving. I found Roblox back in early 2016, when my friend told me about it. Back then I sort of knew what Roblox Studio was, but I never really thought too much about it, not until recently. A bit ago, I decided to step up to the plate and try my hands at Roblox Studio as a builder. I’ve been practicing my building and I hope i can improve some more. So yeah, that’s about it. :upside_down_face:

Hello im aca1231231, normal Serbian farmer boy, i discoverd Roblox with my dad, he showed me what is it and i got interested in platform, i played games for long time on friends account and as quest… Then i made account, played games, lost account pasword and had to make this account. I started with studio with goal to make Boga Boga copy, but thing got corrupted and i gave up… My current goal is to make Tropico 1 on Roblox. Im all in one, working alone. I would like to thank all of you for giving world this good platform, but please make joining fourm easyer…

Sorry for bad english

Greetings, my name is Gu0c and I have been on roblox since 2014 on and off. I first found this website when my little brother started playing it. He had found it through youtube and I thought it looked like a fun and intuitive game. I thought that it was really cool that many different games was put into one ā€œgameā€. Since then I have been hooked to it, even though I have been close to leaving for good several times I somehow always come back like a boomerang.

When I first started playing on roblox I just played and had fun with my friends as I was a very little child, but one day I thought, why can’t I make these games? They look pretty simple to make. How wrong I was. I started developing on roblox early 2015/16. I bought lua scripting books that were directed towards roblox but I never got hooked, so I instead started building as that was easier for me at the time. Since I started building I have learnt a lot and started branching out into several parts of developing on roblox. Scripting, meshing and graphics.

Personally I think my biggest achievement on roblox has been two things. A lobby that I made in 2016/17 that was inspired by death runs lobby was the first project of mine were I really combined what I had learnt so far and learned several other things too. I was really proud of that lobby and tried selling it on the forum that they had back in the days on roblox, but back then I thought of my lobby as a very high quality lobby and asked WAY to much for it, haha. My second achievement that I am very proud of was a french homestore that I built for an now shutdown aesthetics clothing group that I completed a little more than a year back. I took inspiration from real life architecture and learnt that what works and looks good in real life 99% of the time works on roblox, and I think that is one of the cheats I have learnt in building realistic stuff. You don’t need to make up architecutre, you can twist and change architecture that already has been made as that works already. Why work hard when you can work smart?

As you probably have noticed I am a builder and I build on roblox. I seek to improve in building but also learn scripting as it is a crucial part of developing games.

Thank you to anyone reading my story and have a wonderful day.

-Gu0c

It’s an honor finally being a member of the Dev Forum, and now I will introduce myself.

I found Roblox from one day being bored and looking for different games to find, and found Roblox!

I got started with development from a sense of encouragement. A developer’s ability to create games and projects sparked a high interest in me and got me to start trying out development in Roblox Studio.

I’ve achieved a very good understanding of the sort of development I do and will most definitely help me achieve my dream job!

My role in the Development Community would be animation! I’ve started around July 2017 with a huge interest in it and have been practicing using Roblox rigs for animation ever since!

I hope to become a big developer by helping many people with their projects and help their game come to life!

Hello. My name is Jake. I’m
16 at the time of this writing and I’ve been on roblox for around 6 years. I first discovered roblox when a friend of mine introduced Natural Disaster Survival to me. About 3 years later, I became involved in the developing aspect of roblox. I’ve assisted in many small projects since then. I’m currently developing a game to start a solo career in developing. My main occupation is scripting and I am studying for an associates in electrical engineering, although I am very well versed in all things art and my true passion is music production, guitar, and singing. Anyways, if you read this post, thanks! I hope we can chat sometime and connect. Have a great day!

Hi, thanks for inviting me into the Developers’ Forum!

So, here’s some background:

I have been in the IT business for 25+ years, as a multimedia developer, IT trainer, web developer and in recent years as a UI lead developer. I also have experience in web design and what is now called UX design and architecture. I have also worked at two technology companies as creative director, leading branding and development of web, mobile and print products.

How I found out about Roblox
My son Alex has been playing Roblox since 2016, so I had heard about it, but had not paid much attention. Then several months back, Alex was showing me the Roblox site and mentioned some game or other had 7 billion views. ā€œYou mean 7 million?ā€, I asked. ā€œNo, 7 billionā€, he said. He also showed me how much money some games make. This got my attention.

How I got started with Roblox development
Alex was interested in learning to code and develop his own games. I thought this was a good opportunity for him to learn coding, so we discussed how to approach it. We even discussed putting together a workshop and inviting others. Pretty soon, we were brainstorming game ideas, and came up with several good ones. It turned out that the best idea was also going to be the easiest to get started, so we both dove right in and haven’t look back.

Current goals/achievements on the platform
We are close to halfway through our first game. We mostly learn by coming up with a concept for a game feature and then research how to code it. So far, we have learned how to clone models, create and consume module scripts, and implement game passes. We’ve learned how to make terrains. We’ve learned how to drop, shoot and explode stuff (great fun!).

My goals include developing some fun games that might have the chance to get some acceptance and traction in the Roblox community, maybe see some financial results, and for my son to learn coding. As a trainer, I am also interested in developing a channel for presenting workshops to share my take on game concepting, writing, project management, coding and marketing.

Roles in the developer community
My roles include creative director, writer, developer, designer.

Other
Anyone who may need my assistance should feel free to contact me. We plan to offer gaming workshops online in the near future. Good luck and happy coding!

Hello I am Supertestsubject
I found roblox because a friend told me about it, when I first heard about roblox I thought of a boat with like a block in it like ro in rowing a boat lol.
I mainly do project management but I am pretty good at terrain work and particles.
My goal is to start a good thriving business and I use roblox to practice and perfect my skills.

Thx for letting me in the dev forums

Howdy! I’m smubear, an aspiring developer that’s been lurking on the devforum for quite a while now. The devforum has solved a lot of problems for me among all of my still unfinished projects sitting around in Studio.

So anyways, I was told to leave a nice introductory message and figured I’d go ahead and answer the 5 from the topic post. Here goes!

The questions and responses

How did you find Roblox?

Through a Lego video back in 2012, I was recommended a video about Roblox. It was a video of 2 guys playing an obby, and while the video was probably terrible by today’s standards (that quality Unregistered Hypercam footage), it sure got me hooked.

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

I started like any kid at the time did: screwing around in Roblox Studio and seeing what all the free models did. I eventually started making things with parts and made things in the old Personal Servers. However, I actually got serious about development on Roblox only about a year ago when I had already gained some programming experience with Python. I then moved into Lua, and I think I prefer Lua over Python now.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

My current goal is to finish one of my, like, 5 projects sitting on the backburner right now in Studio. One goes all the way back to last September. While they’ve been a learning experience for me, I actually want to PUBLISH something, you know?

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

Programmer mainly, but I try to dabble in every aspect of the development stack.

Anything else you would like to include

I hope to be able to continue utilizing the DevForum for the next year ahead, but this time being able to contribute and ask questions! My knowledge of Roblox will only ever increase from here!

tl;dr - I’ve been developing for about a year with no project released yet. The devforum has certainly helped me learn a lot in the process though!
