Introduction thread for new forum members

  1. When I was young, my dad showed me the game, and I started playing it.

  2. I started with my first game being “Shaggy soda test” (When I got my first pc!) Where it was a poorly built game with a little shack. You spawned in with a shaggy cola and you just drank it, I guess. (Shaggy drink came from youtuber roscripts) After that, I made multiple games where I experimented and started learning about development. I watched youtube videos from Roblox about developing, messed around with the stuff there, starting experimenting more and more with scripting, and couple years later, here I am now.

  • Making DataStores
  • Proper API
  • Decent gun scripts (raycasting)
  1. Programmer.

I am very pleased to finally become a member of the Roblox developer forum. I found out about Roblox from my young son who plays it a lot. I really enjoy programming and I recognised that despite the blocky graphics Roblox is a great gaming platform. What Roblox has over other gaming platforms is it ability to make games that involve real people. It is really simple to make a game that allows people to play to together in an environment and playing a game with other people generally makes for a more enjoyable game. When you kill someone in Big Paintball for example you know that they are just as angry as when you get killed by them.
I started making simple things with Roblox and I watched a few YouTube tutorials, notably Alvinblox and TheDevKing and then I started making my first proper game: Club Football Club Football - Roblox

As a lone developer, I am doing everything myself but using the resources that the Roblox community bestows on its members and now joining the Roblox developer community will hopefully provide a lot of solutions when I get stuck.

Hey there! I’m Ariveua (Nova)
I joined on my old account c1oudytea in 2015, but I started as a guest in 2009 - 2012! Unfortunately after that period, I took a short break because of school. But now, I’m back and as active as ever!
I’ve been developing for a few years now, but mostly in F3X games, so I have not saved much of my work. Fortunately, I’m working on more builds now for my portfolio! Building is one of my favourite hobbies, which is why I’ve decided to focus on it more. I specialize in exteriors and interiors, but I’m trying to put more emphasis on maps.
Some things about me personally are that I’m from Canada and I love the color purple! Some of my favourite artists is Cage the Elephant and Khai Dreams.
Thank you so much for accepting me, I’m looking forward to being a part of this awesome community!

Hey, I’m IBuildSolo. I live in the Eastern United States, I am a builder on Roblox studio. Been trying to push out as many games as possible onto the platform. I’m young and still learning hope that gets me somewhere.

Hey, I’m Eliteplaiz. I am a new member to the Developer Community. I would just like to formally introduce myself to the community! I mainly am a programmer and GUI designer. I strongly enjoy both, I also really enjoy modelling and building. If you have any questions or want to talk just message me on DevForum @Eliteplaiz or via Roblox messages.

I found Roblox in 2015 using guest accounts and loggin out the next day and logging back in the next week or so.

I got started with development on Roblox when I made my account. I wanted to begin developing because I thought it would be cool to make my own game.

My current achievements on the platform are 2000 visits and learned to model.
My current goals are to reach 4000 visits and learn to script.

My role in the developing community is modeling (with parts)
However I do know how to build with parts.

  1. I saw a YouTuber play it and it seemed interesting.
  2. I started thinking more in depth of the games and found it really interesting to see how everything is made.
  3. I want to make a game that’s enjoyable for everyone that does very well.
  4. UI Designer.
  5. No.

Hello!

I just was promoted to member and am pretty excited to be able to join the community. I created this account this summer to use as professional account as I learn to build and script. I have actually been on Roblox for about 3 years now.

I have met a few other devs and always wanted to build some games but never had the time to focus properly on learning. Thanks to Covid, I’m now in a position where learning to develop and build makes sense.

Currently, I am just trying to learn as much as I can while building a couple of different games. It’s going slow as I jump from game to game and building to scripting but I’m making progress. I really hope to have a properly working game by the end of the year.

As for my current role… I’m not entirely sure. Is noob a role? Cuz I could rock that.

I look forward to expanding my knowledge and getting to know more people here. I hope that I am able to contribute something back as I have found some very useful information here already.

gl hf!

I found roblox back around 2008 with an account with the name Wagoos, and I was like any other player where I played games like 2 player gun factory tycoon etc.
2.
I started back around 2016 and I was just making fun stuff with friends after we all got back home from school.
3.
My current goal as of now is to have a game hit it off, like all developers I want to see my games hit it off, I personally don’t care if I make no money cause all I need is to see people enjoy my work and that is what keeps me going everyday.
4.
I am a builder, and I am starting out for animating.
5.
I am a 17 year old developer and I am super passionate about what I do and love to make peoples days brighter.

Hey, Dev Forum. My name is PositiveTal, though you may call me Tal. I joined ROBLOX back in March 2016, my user was “Firefalls8282.” I was young, so I didn’t start off wanting to develop or build games. I didn’t even know what scripting was! In 2018, I slowly began to not act like a child on ROBLOX and began playing FPS games. I immediately became drawn to scripting. I’ve watched videos by AlvinBlox and many other YouTubers and now, I’m most dedicated to learning how to and becoming a professional dev. I never knew how to actually become a part of this forum, I assumed anybody could comment and post here, but I couldn’t find out how. Not too long ago, I found out how to actually become a member, and now I finally have! I’m honestly not really in it for the money, I’m just actually very into scripting. I’m very happy to be a part of this wonderful community, and hope to work with many of you in my upcoming company. I will be looking for Scripters, 3D Modelers, and more very, very soon! See you there.

I found Roblox while watching some YouTube videos when I was 11. I tried scripting a few years ago when I didn’t know much about computers. It didn’t take me long until I gave up on it entirely. This time however, I had learned Python around a month before, so I thought I’d take a shot at Rbxlua again. My goal of developing here is to hone my skills at coding, specifically in a 3d space so I have an easier path to learning how to develop in unity. Because I had gotten into Lua around a month ago, a couple days ago I installed a compiler and decided to learn C++ as well as it has similarities to Lua. My role in the developer community is to be a scripter. I love cartoons, anime, computers, and stuffed animals.

hi im new here. i like scripting and i have watched all of alvinblox scripting series (including advanced)

  1. I joined Roblox a couple of years ago, to be precise, in 2013. I have since lost that account, since I failed to attach an email to it.

  2. I don’t develop as per se. I have tried building maps just as a passtime, but my abilities are limited to mostly art.

  3. To be honest, I have no clue. It would be nice to offer my art ability to those who may desire it.

  4. I am an artist, I aspire to learn more about other fields though.

  5. Nothing of interest, apart from maybe that I’m a stickler for grammar and enjoy trying new things (and learning in general).

Have a nice day!

  1. I found Roblox on the app store and started playing on mobile at first.
  2. I started developing about 3 years ago when I started playing on PC.
  3. My biggest goal is to make an outstanding game.
  4. I’m a Game Designer.
  5. I hope I have a great experience using the Dev Forum!

Hi everyone! I’m Decanted.

I’ve been playing Roblox for the better part of 7 years and am finally feeling like taking the next step. I’m a full stack software engineer in the real world looking to get my creative juices flowing in a different way. I’ve always had the itch to develop a game, but was never really sure where to start. After doing some research, I found out about the Developer Forum. Looking around it seems like there is a great community with a ton of people who are super helpful and want to see others succeed.

I have some ideas of a few passion projects that I want to work on while learning how to use Roblox Studio and program in a completely new language than what I’m used to. I look forward to seeing some awesome progress and collaborating with some of you in the future!

Hello, my name is DoberDev. I’ve found ROBLOX from a friend and got interested in it ever since. I started developing on ROBLOX since 2012 on my old account before I decided to make a new one this year. My goal is to have a popular game for y’all to enjoy and like. I’m a builder, programmer, and modeler but mostly just build. I hope in the near future I can start a business and continue from there.

Hello! My name is BattleDogDude. I am a programmer that loves space and all things space. I found Roblox years back by just hearing about it on Youtube and exploring. Soon you find the development platform, which after I while I started to love. I have some out there goals, but I mainly am trying to motivate myself to finish projects and do things that are hard for me to do.

Hey! I’m a 15-year-old musical composer and scripter that is very passionate about contributing to the ROBLOX platform. I found a video on YouTube made by a friend of mine playing ROBLOX, and I’ve been striving to make new friends and contribute to this remarkable community ever since!

Developing has always been a ‘grey area’ for me as I had no guide or mentor to teach me. That was until I started building for my friends, it gave me a reason to push myself and learn even more about the wondrous world of Roblox Studio. I am very grateful to everyone that has supported me and will be supporting me through this adventurous journey on ROBLOX!

Thank you very much for reading, and I hope to be working alongside you in the near future! c:

Hi everyone and im gonna answer these questions:

  1. From Youtube

  2. I got bored programming HTML and CSS and i found out that roblox studio also have programming and stuff. And then i started developing in the roblox platform.

  3. My goals are to get very good at scripting and making games and probably to make 1 million robux.

  4. I am a Programmer

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    I saw MyUsernamesThis play Prison life 2, and then Jailbreak. I tried it on my old lenovo, and liked Roblox, especially after Club Penguin was shut down.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I learned about the opportunities and how even young developers can make great games here. I began watching Alvin_Blox videos, then I moved on to TheDevKing videos. Along with this, I was also learning Java, Python, and now C++.

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform

  • Make a game with 10K visits

  • Be hired as a developer with pay for the first time

  • Learn Blender, and implement it in Roblox

Make a game with 10K+

  1. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
  • Programmer
  1. Anything else you would like to include
  • Although I like programming the most (I am learning Java, C++, Python, and Lua), I also love to build occasionally, although I’m not the best builder :rofl:. In addition, I also love UI Design, and designing graphics (such as vector images) and Photoshop. When I’m bored with scripting, I usually just try UI Design, or play around with Photoshop. My proudest build/script would be a semi-working mobile phone, that calls anyone in the game with that tool. I still need to go back and add a chatting system, and also add better app icons. That’s all.
