Introduction thread for new forum members

So uh, I joined the forum quite a while ago and never made a post. I’ll take the time to make one now seeing as I’m going to be using the forum more often now.

Joined in 2014 on my current account after one of my family members showed me a couple games on the platform. It wasn’t til a lot later that I got interested into development when I joined a couple groups that were actively looking for developers; that kick-started my career into developing (specifically, scripting and a wee bit of building).

I would say I’ve been a scripter for a couple of years now, I think beginning around 2016, and I’ve been scripting ever since (although with periods of low/no-activity to high activity, it varies). In fact, when I got lua down pat, I looked into other programming languages such as PHP, JavaScript (web and nodejs), HTML/CSS.

My goal before I really leave the platform is to create something I 100% made in terms of scripting. Still working on that to this day.


Thanks for reading! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi I’m DinoLee123456 and I have been playing Roblox since 2014. I learned about this game from let’s play YouTubers and soon found myself in love with this game. I am from HK so I am fluent in both Chinese and English. I want to be a Chinese translator for this platform.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, and I am happy to be part of the community. A little about myself:

  1. I found Roblox by my friend telling me about it back in 2015, when I played it on Mobile

  2. I started building by making custom bgs pets – and loved it!

  3. I have evolved to building low poly maps and can use blender pretty well now.

  4. So, I guess you can now call me a builder.

I am looking forward to sharing and learning with you.

  • How did you find Roblox?
    It’s been on my radar since it came out. My first account has a user id with 4 digits :open_mouth: This community seems pretty cool.
  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I’m the author of a children’s book called the "Caretaker Defiance Guide for thoughtful kids " I think some concepts in it are better experienced in a game than read. A game exploring the failings of grownups will do, I think, so that is what I’m working on now.
  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I do it all! I’d like to focus on programming.
  • Anything else you would like to include
    My next post will hopefully be the collaboration forum with a demo of my game to try to recruit some help, but I’m so skittish. Everything seems ready. Once I have the nerve, I’ll post it.

Hello, I’m ElectrifyThunder and I’ve been playing Roblox since 2010 but started getting into developing recently. I’ve visited Roblox Headquarters for my Make a Wish trip and I am glad to be accepted on this developer forum. Making games has been a dream to me for as long as I can remember but I never got into it. So I’m trying to be serious about it this year and make a successful game. Thank You so much.

I am very happy to be here, I have been trying to get in for a very long time but I would be here earlier if I’d be logged in always. I am Dudus, I am currently working on my first project that I will actually release on Roblox, It’s a Youtubers Fighting type of game, I am not working alone I am with a friend who is a youtuber and he has almost 200k subscribers and he will advertise this game. I am working on a second project too which is a FPS Framework I have basic weapon settings and animations etc. I will use this framework in the future to make Bioscape my second big project. If you want to see my work dm me on Discord [Dudus Jestem#2137]. Have a great day!

Hi! I’m Ninjakitty and I enjoy building things on Roblox Studio! I haven’t been at it for long, though. I found Roblox on YouTube using channels such as Flamingo and ItsFunneh. I started with development after seeing all the great games on this platform and playing some of them! My goal is to create games that are both visually appealing and fun for players! I usually build, and I can script a little. I guess that’s all!

I was introduced to Roblox by my friend, and I am glad to have joined. I started building on Roblox Studio
because I really wanted to make a game.
My best achievement on Roblox is reaching 1 million visits on one of my games.
I used to be a builder but now I’ve switched to programming.

Hello there! Before I do my little introduction I would just like to say It’s an honour to be accepted into the DevForum. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m KawaiiOG but I mainly go by Txjai. I have been a roblox player since 2016, so a couple years. I am mobile GFX designer that does text logos, yes I know, mobile ahaha. I started doing roblox GFX not too long ago, I never really thought I would actually be able to make logos for people on this platform, but I gave it a try and here I am today! I only use 2 apps, both which are free, to do my GFX logos and those apps are “PicsArt” (main app) and “Phonto” (used for plain text). My goal is to make people happy with the logos I make and potentially inspire more people to try doing GFX on mobile, let the creativity in your mind show itself! :smile:

Once again, I would like to thank you for accepting me into the DevForum!

Hello, I am PollStand_Dev! Yes, a very odd name lol.

I first found roblox 11 years ago when I found my friend playing it. Since then it’s been a blast searching up the odd, creative, and fun games on roblox.

I got started with development 3 years ago but I was horrible and got discouraged very fast. 4 months ago is when I started to take development seriously and started to learn programming and other skills. Mainly programming though.

Current goals right now are to improve my programming skill and release a small but fun game with lots of content.

My role is mainly a programmer.

Since the third answer only allowed current goals, I wanna give a future goal which is to vastly improve the open world genre that games like mad city and jailbreak lack.
Hopefully, I can fulfill these goals.

Hi, my roblox name is nathanielstanle. It’s a funny story how I found roblox. I was staying over at my friend’s house for his birthday and surprisingly I brought my laptop over. Then, he downloaded roblox on my laptop and started to play. Ever since, I was intrigued with roblox and I wanted to learn how to play so when I went home I started to play and ever since I have been on the platform.

I began developing in 2016, I was 12 years old :sweat_smile: and the first game that I wanted to make was a Mount Everest Game since I used to play a game like it all the time. I was small and didn’t know a thing about scripting so I wanted to be a builder and I learned how to use terrain. Obviously, that game was a mess with some free models :rofl: but it still works and it was fun to make, I learned a lot.

My current goals on the platform is to make a successful game just for fun, something that I can play with other players when I am free and just work on to relax my head. I also want to earn a ton of robux so I could make groups, give back to players, but gamepasses and stuff. So I could buy things for my friends.

My role in the developer community is builder. I want to focus on being a builder, that’s what I am. I also do a little bit of scripting, I am still new to it but I don’t plan on spending most of my time in that role.

Hello! I am MightyJinI! And anyways, I’d like to say, I am excited to be in the Developer Forum!
I have been on Roblox for almost 10 years! I joined in 2011. I found Roblox when my cousin introduced me to it. I really liked it a lot, so I made an account.
I knew about developing in 2017, but I actually started to get into developing in late 2020, but it was only 2 times every 1 month. Every time I saw amazing builds from my friends, or people I knew, I wanted to build something like what they showed, so I got into building.
I necessarily don’t have any goals, but a few small goals on the platform I have is to exceed my skill in building and scripting.
My main role in the developer community is “Builder”, which I have the most skill in out of all of the roles.
I am also trying to learn scripting as well, and maybe learn to compose my own music since I have music experience.

And anyways, I hope to have a great time in developing!

Hey I’m BostonWhaier and i haven’t answered the question everyone is begging me to know but here I am lul.

I found roblox in 2009 when my brother actually started playing and i saw he was having alot of fun, and decided to give it a try! To this day i haven’t gotten bored or tired of it hence why im still here.

I got started with development around maybe 2013 when i wanted to create games and showcases for groups i was involved with. Dont ask to see them… But you gotta start somewhere i guess. :slight_smile:

Currently I want to continue honing my craft and expanding my abilities and improve my skills as a scripter but as a developer.

I am a programmer and modeler.

  1. I found Roblox back in 2013, it was a favourite of mine and my friends back then. I came across it again in 2020 once I heard Luau was coming, and that got me excited to jump back in.

  2. I got started just by firing up Studio and building stuff I thought was cool. I was inspired by EBR places and also the maps in various Valve games.

  3. My main goal in Roblox is to make interesting architecture that draws people’s attention, built into levels that encourage interesting gameplay.

  4. I’m a builder and a level designer. I could talk for ages about “competitive level layouts” for esports games.

  5. I’m also a composer, but I need to make some games first before I can use that skill. :sweat_smile:

Hello all, glad to be promoted to Member (finally). I’ve been a lurker here for a while but finally remembered to sign in. You can call me Slider, Nine, Muscadines, or even my full username, I don’t really care.

I first found Roblox last year when a family member showed me and I decided to give it a try. I got into developing last fall (or late summer) when a family member asked if I could help with the scripting in Studio. Now this was my first time doing anything with Lua so I studied up on it. I had previous experience using other languages such as BASIC and Visual Basic, so I thought I’d give this a try.

My biggest goal at the moment is the group game that my friends and I are working on. I’m the scripter and UI Designer, and sometimes the builder. I’m still learning something new everyday so this forum has helped me tremendously so far if there’s a problem I just can’t figure out.

Anyway, glad to be on the forums and hope to help somewhere someday! :nerd_face:

Haha, hi everyone! I’m Alpha and have been working on Roblox for about a year now.

I found Roblox back in 2015 through some YouTube ads, watching Minecraft YouTubers and their lets plays. Then I decided to get on, and fell in love! After that, it kinda just became something I look forward to every day. Getting started on Development was quite difficult for me. Not knowing how to even insert a part as most Devs start out, it took a bit of time to get used to. A little over a year ago, I created my first ever showcase (which I hope to make into a full-length game soon) and got some really good feedback from it. After that, I just kept trying and now I’m developing like no other! Really, all I hope to do is here is make some new friends, and shape Roblox into something new, and daring. I kinda fluxuate with what I’m doing, but really a “noob” in all categories. I can build, script, create voice lines, etc. I can’t wait to meet all of you, but until then, ciao!

Hello everyone! I am SCRplayer2403 [You could also call me captain underpants or UnderpantsThe_Dev (I need some robux to change my name) because of the underpants in my ROBLOX avatar].

  1. I found ROBLOX when I was studying something in WikiHow. Before that I kept interest with Lego (the block-building game or something). So, I got to create a new account on ROBLOX.
  2. I got started with developing with the same block-building reason. I got inspired by the games I played. So, I came to develop in ROBLOX using ROBLOX studio.
  3. My dream and target in this platform is to create a ROBLOX game which becomes very popular in aspects and visits
  4. My role in this community is a programmer. Sometimes I program and also make blocky models.
  5. Nothing else to include
