Introduction thread for new forum members

I just got promoted to Member on the Devforums around 4 days ago (as of 28th Sep 2020) and I’m excited to be able to finally post and reply!

I’m mainly interested in building but I am capable of making small scripts for interactiveness.

I have experience with Javascript (been coding it for 3 years now!) and I’m trying to get better at Lua based on that knowledge. I’m learning from looking at what others created and trying to figure out how it works.

Hey everyone!
I’m Sconser, and I have been recently become a member on the forum. I’ve been on Roblox for over four years, and I am currently working on a few games such as Racing with Friends and Current Beater. My goals here are to finish developing all of my games.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the forum!

Hiya, i’m Zombie_Panic. It’s about time I made an introductory post, seeming as though i’ve lurked on this site since 2015…

  1. I found Roblox back in (very) late 2010 while randomly browsing sites as a bored kid.
  2. I used to love zombie games, such as Shaakra’s Zombie Defense Tycoon, and The Zombies Are Attacking McDonalds. I attempted to make my own zombie game, and failed massively. Since my first attempt at building in 2013, I haven’t stopped improving, and I can finally say I have what it takes to build a nice looking game.
  3. Not many achievements/goals met as of yet. I did script a recreation of the 2008 Roblox site inside of Roblox. Other than that, I have 82k visits as of now, and have some treasured limited items I will likely never part with.
  4. I am a builder. That’s what i’ve improved upon since my first attempt at making a game back in 2013. I ALWAYS build my places part by part, no outside programs like blender. I love me a classic style build, but I can make some detailed builds too.
  5. Currently attempting to learn Lua so I can script my games as well. I currently have what it takes to build a game, but not so much what it takes to script a game. Though I am improving every day!

Hello there, I’m W_armz.
I joined Roblox back in late 2016 when I heard rumors about it being something to do with creation and etc.

I started messing with studios in 2017 when I got a laptop, but never really got serious into building.
In late 2018, I got inspired by many showcase games and decided to start doing development. My builds were not the greatest as they were the sort of free modeled low poly builds you’d find in toolbox.
In late 2019 I got the hang of studios and started doing more practicing building.
I left Roblox for a few months and came back after.
As came back ,I had more devotion to only build and find new ideas in other games in Roblox.
Then I created this account, “W_armz” for the sole purpose of development.
As of now, I mainly build but am starting to get more experience in scripting, animation, and ui design.

Hello!! My name is ohkaii, i basically started playing roblox since 2016.
I found out about DevForum 2 years ago but i’m not really interested to become a member but here i’am now got accepted! :smiley:

I’m a clothing designer on Roblox and currently looking forward to learn Blender for building meshes.
My ongoing project is a Tropical House showcase i build for about 4 months already :smile:

I’m very excited to grow up to this community to share my thoughts and ideas!

I found Roblox back in 2013 when a friend introduced it to me. I was small boi at the time so I didn’t actually have an account and I was just a guest. But then, later on, like in 2014, I made my first account, but I lost the password and couldn’t log in and same goes with all of my other accounts, lol. Now, since I am more mature( at least I think so) I probably won’t lose this account. I got started developing on Roblox pretty recently actually back in 2018. I started developing because my friend had introduced me to coding through code.org, And I really enjoyed it. Then I realized that all the games on Roblox were made by the people. Yes, I thought that all the games on Roblox were made by Roblox in 2018( Man, was I dumb ) . So since I got into coding and figured out Roblox’s games are made by the people I got interested into making my own games. My goal on Roblox as a developer is to make a deep 3d platformer that comes with all the cool movement and stuff sorta like Robot 64 because I’m really into platformers. And since I’m a solo dev I pretty much do everything but what I specialize at is scripting.

And one last thing, I would like to thank the Developer relations team for accepting me into this awesome community!

  1. I found Roblox back in 2016 from a friend mentioning about it.
  2. Somewhere in 2019 through 2020.
  3. Get somewhat better at building and scripting. Mostly developing in general.
  4. Currently I’m a builder in this community.
  5. I also own a sci-fi group as well.

Hello! I’m Imperialies, Developer since 2018 and playing roblox since 2015, i recently made showcases, i’m working on a fps, and i really want to join a dev community! That’s all!

Hi, My name is ncs03082. I’ve been a dev for about 5 months now. I’m currently making a class fighting game.

Hello I’m Vezipe! I spend most of my time programming and enjoy helping others. I’m excited to be a member of the Roblox Dev Forum and I look forward to learning tons along with other devs around the world!

How did you find Roblox?

Back in 2016. there was a YouTube video from a channel called EvanTubeHD. I used to watch him alot and one of those videos were about Roblox. I was very interested on what he played. one of the first games he played was natural disasters survival. the game started with a tornado in the skyscraper map, the tornado destroyed the entire building with the parts flying all over the place, I was impressed with the physics engine and also laughed how every part moved all over the screen while EvanTubeHD was playing the game. the way each part rotated and reacted to the environment was the most entertaining thing I’ve seen from a platform. I joined Roblox that year and began surfing around the pages.

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

around five months or so after the account was created. I started getting “inspired” (*or so copying) other people’s work and began creating my own ideas. mostly I wasn’t a create builder but I also learned the function on programming and how assets are used in the first place to make projects.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

is to accomplish the quality of game development and succeed with original ideas. currently, I have never made any great accomplishments on Roblox since people don’t even play my games. so I want to design a game that anyone at any age can play, with the foundation of not making simulators, tycoons and cash grab games. I want to be genuinely good for the site as possible and as well as not being a bad developer like most are becoming these ages.

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

I am mostly a builder while some parts are programming. though I don’t program as much as C# since I do coexist with Unity. I have improved building an a alternative account for small projects but also improved in there.

Anything else you would like to include

Yes. I have a bit of an opinion on how games should be made. usually, most games we have on Roblox are engaging players to play more. and that’s a good thing. but there are some shadowy things that happen a lot in games. a lot of them are cash-grabs and also advertise clickbait ads on the site. usually most games get “inspired” and put them on the site, but their real intentions is that they are stealing games. Roblox 2006-2013 was a purely different time. you had games that aren’t about the money but about the mechanics and crafty nature of those games. sure there were very unexplainably bad stuff there but we have games about a pooping tycoon, what’s the target audience? we don’t know. crossroads had a strategy and it was really creative when it came to design. nowadays, we have games about selling your pet and putting it on the river (though the game never intended you to do that, it’s a work of not scripting a function of not letting the players do it). we need more games that shows creativity and a work from a heart. I joined Roblox to do the same. though I can’t judge the game on the community, I can hopefully one day make a game that isn’t so greedy.

  • My friend told me a lot of good things about ROBLOX and so I got and that’s whenever I liked it and I played it every single day .
  • I started whenever I was sicken tired of playing other people’s builds and I would like to develop my own game.
  • My current goals on this platform is to help people and give honest feedback to people’s builds.
  • Programmer.

Hi, my name’s CoolOlivie057 and I’m new to the Devforum, I have been looking at it for a while whether it’s just for information, ideas or updates, but only just achieved member rank.
I first got into Roblox two years ago when my friends decided to play it for the meme during a week long gaming club at school. I ended up liking it and have stayed ever since.

Currently I’ve been 3d modeling for a clan named ‘The Nighthawk Imperium’ for about half a year now, I mostly do vehicles such as helicopters and cars, but I have also done stuff like med kits and even some helmets.

I also have some decent skills with scripting but not to a professional level yet. I have tried making my own games now but I’ve always lost interest in them and they turn into dead ends, I still hope to finish making my own game someday though.

Here are some pictures of my latest 3d modeling work:

Hello! New to the forum and have been working on scripting for about a month. Found myself streaming and learning while making an RPG. It’s been a fun challenge so far, but I hope to continue progress in my game that takes Roblox games to a new level. Hopefully I quit hitting brick walls soon LOL :wink:

Hi! My name is Tedtot0 or Tedtot and I have been playing Roblox since 2016. I believe I found Roblox when my friends were talking about it. I first started developing on Roblox when a friend of mine told me he needed help with a game, but I didn’t really know much. After that, I became interested and other people and friends encouraged me to learn more. Currently I’m a programmer and builder and my current goal is to make games and just test to improve my knowledge!

Hi :wave: I’m 156Sprinter! I found Roblox back in 2016 while looking for some of the most fun and free games to play.

I am currently very new when it comes to developing but I do have a passion and interest in it.

One of my Current Goals is to learn UGC and get accepted into the program one day.

I’d say my interests revolve around Building GFX and UGC.

I’d also like to say hello to the other members of this Forum and I can’t wait to meet everyone here :slight_smile:

Hello! I’m Bugginx3 or just Bugg. I’ve been playing Roblox on and off since 2013. Found the website through a youtube ad, hah.
I’m new to developing and hope to become a great builder and a decent scripter. Then maybe in the future I can make my own game.

Nice to meet you all!
