Hey there! Glad to be back on the Devforum finally. I decided I’d rewrite this introduction in 2023 since I’ve certainly changed a lot, in personality and goals.

How did you find Roblox?
My friend introduced it to me back in 2014. Made an account in 2015 and have played ever since.
How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Uncopylocked old games. I messed around with them forever. I had no idea what I was doing (still don’t) but thought it was fun (still do).
Current goals/achievements on the platform
Make a working game that’s worth playing. Currently, I’m making a next-gen tower defense, designed to completely redefine the genre on Roblox.
What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder, etc)
Game design is my dream job. I don’t ever want to do anything else.
Anything else you would like to include
Vetex and his game Arcane Odyssey are my main inspirations, I’ve played the series since Arcane Adventures back in the day, and seeing a solo developer do something like that is amazing.

Hi! I’m CapableSlimer.
I made an account on Roblox in 2015.
I became interested in development when I realized that the games on Roblox were created by other people. I wanted to make my own.
My current goals are to create games for people to enjoy!
I don’t really specialize. I like to be involved in all aspects of development.

Hello I am AAN

I found roblox awhile back when looking for new games to play. My cousin said I should play a game called roblox and here I am now.

I got started maybe a year after discovering roblox, but this was like 7-8 years ago now.

My goals are to dev and maybe help other people in their game-making ventures.

I script, build, model, make guis, script, and animate. Lots of stuff!

Love roblox studio btw.

Hey!

I’ve gotten into Roblox a few months back as a High School student wanting a career in Computer Science. I’ve played Roblox with my friends since I was in Middle School and wanted to return to this community to work on Game Development.

I’ve actually started with this software because of the childhood I spent on this platform - having memories of games and fun times collecting limiteds and whatnot. Considering this and my passion for programming, I’ve started to look into the amazing and broad array of things I can create in Studio with programming which was what brought me into this lovely community.

My current project I am doing is related to other projects I do in real life - in regards to Community Service and using technology as a tool to help those in rural areas; solving problems with sustainability, health, and efficiency. I am a huge believer in learning through entertainment, which was why I joined this community to work on projects and games that not only bring a fun time for the audience to enjoy but also have another lesson that they can get out of.

I am currently a programmer capable of using Lua, Java, JavaScript and C++ all self taught. I am also learning how to make models on software such as Blender, as well as working on Graphic/Digital Art.

All in all, great to be apart of this community and to see wonderful developers achieving their goals! More to come!

Hi! So, to start off, on day, I was browsing through YouTube when I saw this YouTuber named Flamingo (aka mrflimflam, Alrbert, Cleetus). So I watched his videos non-stop and to myself I said: ok, I REALLY need to play this game. And, so I did.

2nd question; My friend one day said: Hey, wanna make our first ever Roblox Game? I was like: Yea, man! Okay, sure!! It was just a simple Obby with no check points what-so-ever. It’s still available for everyone to play today. The game is called ‘Test Obby’. That is where I started. Without him, none of this would be possible today and I am very happy to be here now.

3rd question; I would like to be a successful Game Designer and make at least 2 games that will be successful for me (and by that I mean at least 100 players at a time in each game.)

4th question; I do more than one thing actually. I do very little Lua scripting, and I do building. So then, I guess, Game Designer. It’s what best suits me.

5th question; I won’t be focusing on just my games, since that’s just kind of sad. I want to help other people too, and I hope I can in the near future. Me and my friend that I talked about before in this post, we stopped making games together . Hopefully that changes. Well, it was fun to write this message. Hopefully something good happens. Byeeee!! :wink:

I wanted to introduce myself properly since I am a new developer forum member.

I’m Atlxnn, otherwise known as Atlan. I have been on Roblox since about 2017 which means I was about 13 when I started playing. I found Roblox from an Ad somewhere I’m pretty sure.

I got into the development side of Roblox a few days ago and I think I was watching Youtube and I saw a time-lapse of someone making a Roblox GFX. I was jealous of the persons skills, (shoutout to Vadez/Jett), and I really wanted to get into making some myself.

My goals are definitely to get myself at the top of the food chain when it comes to Roblox GFX. In any category/theme.

My role in the developer community is making GFX. And I really enjoy it.
I just want to say that I am happy to be a new member and I hope I can make a difference in the community.

Hello! My name is NicholasMRoosevelt (formerly mooba12).
I’m new to the DevForum and I’m really excited to be here! I look forward to learning from others and contributing the best I can.

1. How did you find Roblox?
Well, my brother and I were playing random games on the internet, but we kept seeing ads for one particular game, Roblox. We had wanted to join, but we didn’t have the courage to actually ask our dad if we could join :sweat_smile:. Eventually, we built up this courage, asked him, and he let us. Ever since then I’ve been hooked.
2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Well as soon as I joined I saw that each person had their own “place” that they could edit. My brother and I played around with this but we never really got into developing, per se. A couple of years back, my friend got into building, and he’s improved and gotten so much better over the years. This inspired me to get into it, and I’ve been playing around with things since.
3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
I hope to get much better at clothing designing, and I hope to start up a group with my friends about it. We all have our own strengths, so together I think we could do a good job. That’s all I have currently, but I know I will have many more projects in the future.
4. What is your role in the developer community?
Well, I’ve been on and off with developing for a while. I’ve tried out building, that didn’t really work out, I did some modeling, wasn’t that interested in it, tried out scripting, again, did not have that much fun with it, and I did GFX, which was fun, and I considered myself to be good at it, but I eventually fell out of the interest. As of right now, I am focused on clothing designing.

Happy to be here! :smiley:

I found out about Roblox from Youtube videos and from a friend that told me about this game.

I started development when I discovered the Studio app on my desktop, and I didn’t know what it was.
And since I was using it I started having fun developing games :slight_smile:

My current goal is to create a game called “Biome Fight” and to turn developing into a hobby.

I know some Lua scripting, so I guess I am a programmer. I’m not sure if the roles are supposed to be like a Devforum thing only, like the text shown by the side of your name, or if it’s based on your knowledge about a topic in Roblox Studio.

I’d want to say that I’m so glad I have access to the Dev forum, I like going in here and reading articles about solved problems that can teach me stuff about Studio more!

Hello, my name is Verdin and I found Roblox in 2015 when I saw a friend playing it. I started developing on studio less than a year ago, but I would say it truly started a few years ago when I began to make GFXs and later 3D modeled in Blender. Now, I have begun to learn Lua. My goals are to finish the development of my first game, and I have had many achievements throughout development, such as when I fixed various bugs and figured out how to do certain things. I do not have a set role in the developer community, as I have made GFX, UIs, 3D models, and builds. However, I would consider myself a programmer/scripter since that is what I have been involved in the most recently. (I am a very new scripter and am not advanced in any way). I am very excited to be part of the forum.
