Hello there, and first and foremost, thank you to the community for welcoming me as a Member.
I have read hundreds of posts on the dev forum over the past months, but haven’t taken the time to properly introduce myself or my project.
So, please, allow me to introduce myself, my handle is FirstVertex. I only became aware of Roblox last year, but I have been a professional computer scientist for 25 years. I’m proficient in Typescript as it applies to Web Development. Currently I’m in the process of translating those scripting skills to Roblox. Along the way I discovered Roblox-TS, and of course it was a perfect fit for building my first game. I have found the Roblox-TS community extremely welcoming and responsive in supporting me through Github and it’s Discord channel.
Details of my project are closely guarded and haven’t been publicly divulged, but I will post a little spoiler here in the form of some screen shots from a recent stress test.
This Holodeck shows a representation of worms in the area, in this stress test 300fps nominal was maintained while over 30,000 instances were moved in and out of use by my ModelFactory class.
More details will be posted at a later time, since this has turned into a massive effort involving building an entire Universe, complete with history, and it’s own drama, characters, factions, allies and enemies, even it’s own Intrastellar Transport System. All of which ultimately should amount to an engaging in-game experience, which at times can seem more like an interactive art exhibit.
Huge shout out to all of the developers, builders, artists, content creators, supporters, staff, and community leaders we have here, and even the lurkers too, as I was one of you for a long time lol. I encourage all of you to send me a message and introduce yourself, and I will endeavor to reply to each one. Hope you have a wonderful day and please stay safe and well!
