Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello!
I have been an active Roblox player since 2018, and have just joined the Developer Forum on the first of December. I was introduced to this platform in 2017 by a friend in Poland, and am very thankful for that. Shortly after playing just a couple games, I was heavily inspired by Bad Skeleton’s “RECOIL ZOMBIES,” and The Electric State DarkRP, which are games found on Roblox. Soon after figuring out how I could create a game of my own, I searched the Developer Forum for ideas, inspiration, and script support. Now I am part of the community!
I enjoy designating myself as a mid-detailed or high-detailed builder, and a beginning scripter. So far, my biggest goal is to create a CoD “Kino der Toten” inspired map.

Thank you!

Hi! I’m maulanaasgaf.

I’ve been on Roblox for almost 12 years. Back in 2009, I was searching for online gaming platforms with my neighboring friends when I found Roblox and instantly fell in love with it. While my friends stopped playing after a few months, I continued on playing but felt lonely as I wasn’t very good at English at the time and Roblox wasn’t exactly popular in my country as well (I’m Indonesian). So I decided to form a community of Roblox players from Indonesia in 2011 on Facebook and made the group on Roblox in 2013 called United Roblox of Indonesia.

Fast forward to 2019 and the tables have turned, Roblox is one of the most popular game here and the group that I founded had grown to almost 100.000 members. I’d just graduated from a boarding school which limit internet access (no phones/laptops allowed) and pursuing a college degree in Engineering. I’m not into playing games on Roblox anymore but I saw a huge potential, so I went back to the community.

During the early days we tend to focus on developing national-themed roleplaying groups but the massive amount of Indonesian players right now made it possible for us to create even better entertainment for the masses, namely popular games and animation videos. So we start gathering developers throughout Indonesia so that they can share experiences and support each other in the process.

My current goal is to provide as many support as I can to the developers. One of our main problems being the language barrier, so we provided three Indonesian developer community servers on Discord each for GFX designers, game developers, and film animators. I hope that in the near future, we Indonesians can achieve things that I don’t even think were possible when I first founded the community. Being able to have a local event organizer or a local DevRel would be nice.

This makes me want to learn more about being a developer, so I went to DevForum. As of now, I still have a very limited knowledge on Roblox Studio (a low-skilled Builder at best), so I mainly focus on the concept and marketing of the game. Same goes for animation videos, I am the producer, script writer, voice actor, camera man, and video editor but not the animator itself. I’m being helped by developers who share the same vision and I’m very thankful for them.

This introduction has been very long, so to anyone reading this, thanks for your patience!

  1. Finally, I catched the reply button. I found ROBLOX because someone recommended me to play it.

  2. I started developing games because why not? It was hard at first but now I can build.

  3. My current goals/achievements are to learn to build in Blender so I can import stuff in ROBLOX, have appreciated games, become famous, receive ROBUX by creating stuff and learn to script Lua.

  4. I don’t know, but I set my role to Builder so yeah

  5. I’m feeling happy

(I joined the forum over a year ago, but I never introduced myself)
I found Roblox five years ago, I was playing with my cousin as a guest on the beach tycoon game that was in the front page which got deleted for whatever reason.
I had always been interested in game developing, but I didn’t exactly know what Roblox Studio was, and eventually one day I got curious. I opened the app and added some toolbox items and terrain, which I had fun with afterwards playing on with my friends.
My current goals are to finish two games I am currently working on, and also growing my group and its discord (which is going well)
I’m trying to focus on scripting, but I also know how to build, model, and make GUI.
On the forum I like to look at the cool resources, and I’ll also ask or answer questions every once in a while.
I hope to be able to start posting my own resources, and I hope to be able to get a bigger boost on growing my group.

Hi there! I am enclavemod I have been a Roblox member since 2013, I am also a new developer.

I am into fighting games and for a matter of fact looking to developing one in the coming weeks which will be combat orientated

One thing that got me into fighting games was the Halo series with the first game I played being Halo: Combat Evolved. I am a massive fan of the Halo series and I am also in a few Roblox Halo groups too.

And now to top things off I would like to say I am delighted to be here and I cannot wait to start socializing with other people that are apart of the devforum!

Hello, when I was younger I found Roblox and it was amazing I started working with it I built, and it felt like I was an architect, this is a place to chase you’re dreams. I started with development with my first group I wasn’t that good with it building I had to learn to build and work it but the work was worth it, being accepted in the dev forum is an honor to me and a huge step for my dreams! I want to achieve a making decent game and a decent amount of attention from the Roblox platform. My role is builder it’s a simple role building is great and calming for me, It’s rewarding too! I love Medieval games like Viking conquests, And thank you Roblox for letting me into dev forum!

Hi there!

I found the game because my friends were playing and did not understand what this game is so I asked them and they told me Roblox I tried to play and I got addicted.
I started building things because I wanted to build a game for myself and my friend.
Founder of El Paso Border Patrol Roleplay and we have about + 38,000K people in the group

Hello!

I originally played roblox back in 2008-2009ish when a friend showed it to me. I didn’t consistently play in until 2018 when another friend showed me speed run 4.

I got started on development when I decided it would be fun to code a game. I have a background in Java and C and thought it would be fun to see my coding go to use in a fun way.

Right now I am creating a game and have scripted 99% of it by myself. It currently has over 110,000 lines of code and will soon be ready to be released in Beta.

I hope to get to know many of you and to be able to give each other good ideas and tips!
Cheers!

Wow, it only took literally 2 years for me to become a member!

Well, my friend introduced me to it. After I started playing, it is sure gave me a glance at it.

I started to build using simple blocks at first. Years later, I learned how to develop new things.

My goal is to team with someone and create a game for players to enjoy.

Right now I am a builder.

Thank you for inviting me. :dizzy: Even though I’m nervous to post this to here.

Hi, my name is Developth.

I’ve been playing Roblox since 2011 and I have developed my social skills on this platform. I’m proud to say I’m a Roblox Veteran. I joined the DevForum in early July, this year I enjoy developing and playing games which include puzzles or are just fun in general. I hope all the people on the DevForum will have a great experience on here.

Hello, I’m shimon693! I’ve been on Roblox since 2016. I have been doing a few builds here and there. On September 16th, 2020, I created an army on Roblox and thus, have been using the DevForum to receive help. I’m still a beginner here, but make quite good. One day, I really hope my army gets popular, here on Roblox. I have been doing builds for pretty long, but recently started GFX too.

I hope to have a great time here.

  • I started out making small builds and models.
  • I’m hoping to finish my first full length project, a single player story driven game.

  1. How did you find Roblox?

I stumbled upon Roblox back in late 2008 while searching for free games to play on several gaming sites.
I played as a guest until I was allowed to create an account in early 2009. I’ve been playing Roblox ever since!

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

Telamon was my inspiration to get into development. I used to go on his Sword Fighting on the Heights games and sword fight for hours every day and decided to develop my own sword fighting games.

I would also like to say that IcyTea’s builds and working for SCS’s Helpful Robloxians group contributed to my passion to keep developing on the platform.

  1. Current goals/achievements on the platform

I hope that I can contribute and help out as many users as possible. I actually work as a commission scripter, currently mainly working for Alvin_Blox. I’m also planning to release games with some of the people in the Accelerator program, namely with my friend Crikyuu.

Another goal of mine would be to redeem my trust with the staff due to having an extensive moderation history on my account(s) from my childhood. I really hope that they are forgiving and overlook my past mistakes based on my activity, contributions and see the good that I am capable of bringing to the platform. With this being said, my goal would be to join the Developer Exchange program and to join the Accelerator program in the near future.

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

I am a senior level programmer, meaning I have well over a decade worth of experience with Lua here on Roblox. I’ve also been composing music for the past 5 years.

  1. Anything else you would like to include

Yes, I work for my city as one of their back-end web developer. I’d also like to say that you may contact me at any times, I read all messages and I’m always ready to help you out! I work for free.

Thank you for reading my introduction post, I really appreciate it! :grin:

Yours sincerely,

in 2016 I heard about this viral game “ROBLOX” so I decided to start playing Roblox and I instantly enjoyed
In late 2018 I heard about Roblox studio so I decided to try it

Hallo! I only just discovered this, so I thought I’d say hi even though I’m already a member.

  1. I found roblox on my sister’s laptop several years ago. I knew she would kill me if she found out I downloaded something without her permission so I deleted it after playing 1 game I don’t remember. Years later my brother discovered it and we messed around with free models in studio. Then we got started playing games like hole in the wall, obbies, work at a pizza place, and bird simulator.
  2. I started developing recently. My goal is to make good and unique roblox games so I’ll have experience for game design for an actual game company. I’ve started multiple projects but never really finished them, but right now I’m working on an obby. It’s going to be madness.
  3. My current goals are to make a game, get at least on the “Recommended” page, make robux so I can hire people to work on this really big project I have in mind. My current achievements are having 100 visits on my garbage game I made when I was about 10, knowing how to script (kinda), and I guess having a handful of some really great friends!
  4. Programmer/builder. I’m better at building, but I want to know how to make scripts work properly.
