Introduction thread for new forum members

Hi! I am tabfvl, I found Roblox in 2016 because my friends were playing it.
I started to go on Roblox Studio to make cool games to play, but I did not see how hard it can be. Then I found out about GFX and got a video on how to make it and it was really fun so I kept doing it.
On the developer forum I want to try make some robux by making people GFX.
I am a GFX maker!

    I started to develop on Roblox, because I became interested in programming. My major is in computer science, and I have loved being able to learn to develop games by using the Roblox platform!
  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I hope to help people with their problems while also getting the help I need on my own projects.
  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

How did you find Roblox?

My kids, students and friendsā€™ children all play and love Roblox. They helped introduce me to Roblox.

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

Iā€™m a long time programmer and network engineer. The Roblox platform is unique but also familiar enough to pick up quickly.

Current goals/achievements on the platform.

Currently Iā€™m exploring use cases of Roblox for education, counseling services and potential feasibility of it as a revenue source (for myself, children and students). Iā€™m currently running a non profit computer education out reach for local schools. The covid-19 pandemic has dramatically changed many of our programs. Roblox has been explored by some as a potential resource with many useful applications.

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

My experience is broad in all of these areas. Iā€™ve taught courses in Maya, 3d studio Max, Blender and Swift3d for 3d modeling. Iā€™ve worked with game engines in flash, html5/css3 and helped with designing courses in Unity certification tracks. My initial career was as a network engineer in Silicon Valley working with Juniper and Cisco as both a CCIE and JNCIE years ago. Iā€™ve worked as a wireless engineer with Meru networks and network security expert with Fortinet most recently. My programming knowledge and experience is also rather extensive working with local tech-startups acquired by Microsoft as members of the Microsoft Presidents club.

Anything else you would like to include

This community is unique and I am excited to be here. I have been a long time online gamer since the original BBS door / mush games and still enjoy the very first graphical MMORPG. When Second Life first came out I was excited for the educational potential it had, although Iā€™ve been disappointed in the way it has turned out. Roblox had gone under my radar until recently as I typically wouldnā€™t fit the demographic it is aimed at personally.

It has always been a belief of mine that education could be greatly enhanced by environments such as Roblox. Iā€™m impressed by the way Roblox has been achieving this but still see room for a lot of improvement.

When I first joined the forums I assumed they were like any other. It wasnā€™t until today that I tried to contribute my first post. This is where I found the limitations of my account and inability to post until being promoted to member. Again, I didnā€™t think much of this until landing on this thread and seeing how honored and happy all the members have been over the years to join the club.

With that said, Iā€™m now also feeling honored, grateful and happy to be here in the community. Iā€™m also looking forward to the potential of progressing further here :slight_smile:

Thank you,
EmperorCreator

I model things, Iā€™m good at building, creating eerie sounds and giving my games a realistic look.
My ultimate goal in Roblox is to have a very large sci-fi/military/casual group. Also to make successful games.

Hi everyone!

Iā€™m Sam. Iā€™m a product designer who recently co-founded a new business called Bloxbiz to help Roblox game developers monetize their games with player-friendly, in-game ads. Before this I was working at Facebook on data analytic tools and on the side playing around with building games in Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft.

I love chatting with game developers, providing feedback on games, or just hearing about whatā€™s new and exciting. Feel free to reach out here or on Twitter (@samueldrozdov)! :slight_smile:

Hello Iā€™m ā€œBompttonā€ I found ROBLOX a couple years ago and started playing a couple games in the public library computers, I then stopped, after a while I got myself a PC and decided to give it a try again, I started getting into MISLIM groups and felt a sense of community.
I started my development in ROBLOX when I wanted to start my own CafƩ game, however I was not very well experienced in ROBLOX studio so that project when down the drain, soon I started to work on my building skills, once I was a bit better I started to develop games for a Military genre game with 6k+ members after that I have worked for a couple other groups as a developer (builder, terrain)
I wish to learn from others and become better and better everyday, one can never be too good.
I do building, terrain and some modeling.
I have been on ROBLOX for some time and helped developed some games, the reason I wasnā€™t a DEVFORUM member for a long time was because I tended to just go to YouTube for help, however I find the DEVFORUM to be a easer and better way to find how to do certain things, good to be here.

Hello! I first found Roblox 4 years ago almost 5 now, by a friend who recommended it to me.

I first started developing on Roblox 3 years ago, I was ambitious and didnā€™t have any knowledge on Roblox developing at the time. Iā€™ve self-taught myself how to build in studio and have recently thought of expanding to learn another skill.

One of my goals would be to make a successful game with my name under it. I do not have any achievements, but without the people Iā€™ve met as a developer I wouldnā€™t be typing on this forum.

My main role is as a builder, though I also can make decent UIā€™s (Iā€™m good with UI layout just not as much with designing the buttons), and I can model.

Looking forward to the devforum!

Hi! Iā€™m new to the Devforum! I found Roblox forever ago, but only started developing this year. Iā€™m not too good at scripting, but Iā€™ve learned my way around studio pretty well. I just started learning to use UE4 and am SO excited to start making some super cool things with that.

Canā€™t wait to see where this journey takes me!

Hi im sergio and ive been on roblox since i was 8-9 years old (since 2010)

Ive been in the development indistry for a couple years now but hav recently been slacking off due to no time in the real world to sit down and build. I am very intreeged to get to know other developers so i can share my ideas and hopefully in the future, create a game together!

I mainly build and focus on making clubs, houses etc. But i can really put myself to the test and make anything that i set my mind too. Imagination is endless!

PS. my father introduced me to it, if it wasnt for him i wouldnt be inspired to join this community to build something that nobody has ever seen!

Hey guys,
Just thought Iā€™d say hi.
Iā€™m horridrbx, Iā€™ve been playing Roblox since 2011 through two accounts, my most recent since 2013.
Started developing through the Ro-Aviation community: learned to model aircraft and progressed from there!
Working on growing my group and branching out to other communities, hence joining the DevForum.

Hello there! Iā€™m really thankful for being accepted in the forum! Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll learn a lot here!

I created my first account on Roblox on 2014, when I first saw The Neighborhood of Robloxia and wanted to play it. My brother helped me with that.
For years I mostly played Roblox rather than developed anything. I didnā€™t know a thing about scripting at all. I started getting interested in developing last year, when I wanted to know how amazing games such as Vesteria, Bloxburg, etc, could be made by writing a bunch of words. Nowadays Iā€™m working on my first game in this platform. Itā€™s a horror game. I learnt basic scripting from youtube tutorials and, principally, this forum :slight_smile: , and now, from little to little, Iā€™m actually being able to develop the game, and I hope it succeeds, even though itā€™s not a game made to become famous and have a large scale of players on it. No advanced scripting at all, I want it to be something simple at first.
I really like programming but I guess my real thing is building, so I can say Iā€™m a newbie modeller/builder. Also because I used to build lots of things with F3X tools in building games all over the platform. I really like it!

Thatā€™s basically it! I hope I learn a lot from this community, and maybe, when I become a more advanced developer, help and welcome others too!

Hiya! Iā€™m Tortum (:
I joined Roblox around 2008 (feels like centuries ago). I never really got into developing until a couple of years ago. Iā€™m still learning everything as I go. Looking forward to using the devforum more frequently. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hey there curious-looking one! My name is TubOfCream and as Iā€™m typing this, Iā€™m 17 years old. I appreciate the opportunity to be introduced to this remarkable community of you guys!

  • How did you find Roblox?
    I first came across Roblox back in 2014 when my cousin introduced me to it. Back then we were still browsing games such as Boxhead, Bartender: The Right Mix, the first Henry the Stickman, all of Razeā€™s series and so on! This is of course if any of you still remember when Y8 was a thing :joy:. Within the years Iā€™ve spent in Roblox, Iā€™ve played a diversity of games ranging from sword battles to games that solely focus on racing which I still love today!
  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I started messing around with Roblox Studio not long ago; about 2 years. Then I decided on modifying vehicle chassisā€™, one example would be Avxnturadorā€™s remarkable A-chassis which I find to be able to take the role of either a race-focused car or a Hoonicorn-like mobile.
  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    As Iā€™m typing this, Iā€™m a retired moderator for the UDU community, one which I forever will cherish the most and would not lose anything for. The staff teams that Iā€™ve worked along with were oneā€™s which Iā€™d consider my family for so many reasons that I canā€™t even explain in this post :rofl:. The UDU community has also given me the opportunity to meet new people and build unforgettable friendships. So far Iā€™m only learning the ropes of becoming a Modeler thanks to a particular person Klusionary whose generosity helped me a lot in my early stages of modeling vehicles. After Iā€™ve graduated high school, I plan to pour in much more of my time in developing and getting a Bachelorā€™s in Graphic Designing.
  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Iā€™d consider myself to be a Graphic Designer and a Modeler
  • Anything else you would like to include
    Iā€™d personally like to thank you for spending your time going through this post of mine. As many more achievements come along my way, I will be updating this thread and continue my journey to be a full-time developer like you guys!

I found ROBLOX a long time ago on my first few accounts back in 2013, I believe I found it through one of my close friends at the time and we constantly played it.
I donā€™t really develop, Iā€™ve played with Blender a few times, but nothing serious. I mostly translate English and German since my family is majority German and I learned from relatives.
My goals are starting my own group and being able to give money to charity and being able to succeed in a living for myself.
I am a translator.
Thatā€™s about it. : )
