Introduction thread for new forum members

I found out about Roblox from my friend back in 2016.
I started using free models and played around, and now I make my own models.
I want to be better at making realistic cars (not mesh, sorta blocky) and overall be better at building.
I am currently a Builder.
If anyone is good at making realistic cars, I can show pictures in my DMs, please message me. JackTheKrazyGuy#8109

Hullo people! So, I first played Roblox about 7 years ago, I played for a while but ultimately moved on. Then, nearly two years ago my friend convinced me to try it, and Iā€™ve been playing ever since then!

In terms of development, Iā€™m, relatively new to Roblox/Game development, started in about March!

I was doing the building, wasnā€™t too great at it, so tried Scripting (I come from a background of Python) and fell in love with Lua. I also do some work with GUIs and GFX.

In terms of goals, I want to make a game that I can feel proud of, but more importantly, people enjoy! I hope to expand my skill set, maybe try making some music for the games I make.

Anyways, itā€™s great to be on here, the DevForum is great and Iā€™ve been using it a lot- so canā€™t wait to get more involved!

I found Roblox through a friend and we were both fans of this book series called Warriors, and he found a RP game of it on Roblox and asked me to join. During the quarantine, has lots of free time. Current goals are to become a successful developer. My role is a programmer/animator.

Hi, Iā€™m new in the forum (not so new but didnā€™t used it so much), I found roblox back in 2011/13, played as a guest then made an account in 2014. [EDITED because I wrote 2016 instead of 2014 ;-;]
Iā€™m working on a server lag fighting game, where server side bricks spawn and bricks people have to sword fight, Iā€™m also working on an entire military/clan group where we want to make multiple games.
Iā€™m more of a programmer than anything else, I still try my best at doing other things.
And yeah I hope that I will find my place in here.

  1. I found ROBLOX via my brother in 2015, we had a muck around and it was amazing!

  2. I started much younger learning the basics of Lua by reading other code.

  3. My current goals are probably finish the game Iā€™m working on, achievements I donā€™t have any at the moment.

  4. Iā€™m a programmer and a animator.

  5. Iā€™m blind in a eye.

I found Roblox when my friends in school introduced it to me.
I got started on the development platform when I realized that other people made all of my favorite games on Roblox. I wanted to learn how to make games, as well.
My current goals for this platform for me are to become a decent scripter. I like to script and work with GUIs.
My role in the development community is a programmer/scripter. Pretty sure those are the same things.
I hope to some day work for Roblox as a professional programmer and work on games with others for the public.

Hi! Iā€™m Derekxxdol, Iā€™ve been trying to get into the Dev Forum for a while and Iā€™m finally here. So Iā€™ll introduce myself.

I found ROBLOX six and a half years ago, and I still remember how. I was looking for online flash games, and for some reason, ROBLOX popped up. Clicked on it, read about it, and signed up.

I got started with development out of boredom. After playing roblox for a bit I thought Iā€™d try out the studio, it turned out a lot different than I thought it would be, (in a good way.) Iā€™m not a famous game maker of any sort, I just enjoy making small projects for fun.

My current goal is to fully learn how to script. Most of my scripting (with a few exceptions) is me following tutorials on Youtube, so itā€™d be nice to fully learn how. I only know a tiny bit of it.

My role in the developer community is Builder. Iā€™m not a crazy art guy but I can make a few things when I have to, and as I said, Iā€™m not that good on programming at all.

Thanks for reading. :slight_smile:

Hello! Iā€™m pugmaster13001, but Iā€™d prefer to be referred to as Pug. :happy1:

I found roblox almost three years ago I think, I was watching youtube videos and I came across a roblox video! I forget who it was by, but I remember they were playing a pizza tycoon game. I really enjoyed the video, so i decided to download roblox.

After a while I found out that you could make games on roblox, my first game really wasnā€™t much, just a baseplate with free models.

I quite genuinely love building games, Iā€™m working on a city vibe type game at the moment. Iā€™ve also been making GFX for the past few months, though I donā€™t enjoy it as much. I can animate a little bit, on blender it takes about 1 day to render a full second though. If I animate on roblox itā€™s normally just for practice or to make seat animations. Iā€™m very bad at modelling in blender, and scripting, I hope I can get better at them within the next year or so!

Hereā€™s the city/vibe game Iā€™m working on if youā€™re curious!


Any constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

Hello, I am Pieces2010. I got accepted on to Dev Forum a few months ago and it feels great. I can ask for support if none of my scripting solutions are working, I can easily recruit builders and scripters, etc. I hope Dev Forum continues to grow!

  1. I found when I was watching some YouTubers making videos of Roblox in 2015 so I tried to see how the game works
  2. Basicly I started as a newbie and then I tried to search videos to help my improves
  3. Be in the Roblox Star Video Program and continue making cool projects!
  4. Builder
  5. Iā€™m going to try making games for the game Roblox and make cool videos inside of the game!

Iā€™m not too new, but I am still new since Iā€™ve been here for 2 months so not an old user.

I found Roblox one day at my schoolā€™s technology room. Some person was playing it, and I saw this 3-D world with so many things to doā€¦

A few weeks later, I spelled Robot wrong and I found Robloxā€¦ I didnā€™t know it was that awesome platform I had saw in the technology room.

My sibling played Roblox one day, and so I downloaded Roblox as well in 2016! (I was guest 1729)

I then got an account in 2017, and this is my second account. My goal is to create fun and entertaining games in Roblox, and I mainly program on Roblox.

Itā€™s surprising how my journey to where I am now started in a small technology room. Possibilities in Roblox are endless. Iā€™ve learnt a lot from here, and I sure wonā€™t be quitting anytime soonā€¦

Greetings everyone!

Originally known as ā€œMcxgamecaster_YTā€ since 2017.

Iā€™ve been playing ROBLOX more than 3 years, however Iā€™d like to introduce myself for a bit.
Iā€™m a GFX Artist, Builder and Intern Programmer from ā€œThailandā€! I start dev ROBLOX game since 2018 (2 years ago) while I was playing a game and I once think ā€œIf others can do like that then why I canā€™t?ā€ and then my passion has sparked in my mind. Iā€™ve been progressed and work in many ROBLOX groups/clans, some of them are famous but some are not. Some of my past experiences can be found at my ROBLOX profile, Iā€™m glad that I got accepted into the ROBLOX DeveloperForum, actually I tried to join this since 2018 but I donā€™t know how and plus my alt got deleted so I got no chance but now, I finally be a DevForm member! :hugs:

Hi there! My name is Control or DFU, and Iā€™m glad to be a part of the DevForum!

I found Roblox on a Doubleclick ad (something similar to below) on my first Roblox account (July of 2011).

I got started with Roblox development as a programmer in 2015 due to fiddling around with Free Models and seeing what I could do with them. My current goals on the platform are to learn more about Lua so that I can transfer my knowledge to different variants of the language (Garryā€™s Mod Lua or ComputerCraft/OpenComputers, a Minecraft mod). My current role in the community is taking the shape of a programmer, but Iā€™ve tried building once or twice to no avail.

Iā€™d like to include that my pronouns are he/him, and I am autistic + ADHD afflicted. Donā€™t be afraid to talk to me though image

Hello people of this forum, I am ElLobo23. I am more than happy to now be a member of this community and help others and to be helped. I discovered Roblox from a friend who recommended me to play with him. I started developing my own game about 4 months ago because I believed I can make a game that people will like. I also liked the idea of having a job as a game creator. I plan to go big in the future and share my success with others. I hope every creator out there can accomplish their goals and enjoy their moments with Roblox.

Hello fellow Roblox Developers!

I am ItzMeZeus_IGotHacked. A few years ago, my cousin introduced me a game called The Plaza on Roblox. At that time, I didnā€™t know Roblox and thatā€™s how I met the community of Roblox.

I get started for Roblox development when I am 14 years old, which is currently now. That is because the quarantine encouraged me to code. I started to learn Python and then Lua for Roblox Development. I wanted to learn coding so I can understand how Roblox works and spend some time and create something cool in Roblox Studio.

My current goals are simple, being a professional programmer, builder and animator is all I need. I can learn composing if I can. By putting together all of these skills, I will be successfully to create a good Roblox game for everyone to enjoy.

Right now, Iā€™m only a programmer, builder and animator. I will continue to learn more skills.

Yes, I got hacked. I was hacked by a free robux scam game. Thatā€™s how I got hacked. I hope my introduction makes you guys feel satisfy. Thank you for reading my introduction!

Hi, Iā€™m Bizz.

I never really remember how I found roblox. I got it in 2016 in a away I forgot.

Soon after I developed a love for coding, I found Roblox Studio. I had installed Roblox on my computer at least 6 or so months from then (I started mobile), and started coding.

One of my biggest achievements I will hope to achieve soon is finding a way to fix my ray-casting errors. Once I fix it, several of my games will become a whole lot easier to create.

I am a scripter, and will hopefully always be.

Roblox has been one of my favourite development platforms, mainly because it has so many possibilities. Sure, it has some downsides, but I usually look past that, but when I remember them again, they get fixed. Anyways, Iā€™m so glad to be here. Have a great day!

hello! just wondering if there are any updates on the bioshock game you planned to work on?
