Introduction thread for new forum members

Yo, my name is Zelo I just now became a member of the Roblox Developer Forum.
I just wanted to introduce myself a little bit before I go back to coding a small project I’m working on.
I’ve been playing Roblox ever since I was 11 in 2012. I was introduced by a school friend about Roblox we used to play a lot of games made by a lot of great developers. As a kid growing up I had a love for video games a lot and especially Sci-Fi-related games. I wanted to create games on Roblox when I was younger and never could figure out how to so I procrastinated a lot. Once I got older I wanted to push myself further into coding. So I learned more about the principles of coding and what I could potentially do. So I decided to establish a few goals that I would love to achieve. And one of my goals is to create a game inspired by my imagination. So that was just a little bit about myself and thanks for accepting me into your community Roblox.

Hello, I’m epicbuilder918. Hoping to change my name soon, maybe epicscripter918 eventually…

  1. I found roblox on the school computer labs back in 2011. All started on a game called Ship Shooting Battle, made roblox stand out from other flash games. I played on guest accounts until I made my first account in ~November 2011, then this account in ~January 2012 because of the overly restrictive safe-chat back in the day.

  2. I started developing as soon as I found out Roblox Studio existed, making cringe games using exclusively free models. Most of the games, thankfully, have been reduced to a blank baseplate/flat terrain by an older, matured, and much more experienced version of the person who made them (me).

  3. I hope to develop a game with my friends and have a small community maybe. It’s a bit of a stretch but I think we’ll get it done eventually. Game development isn’t my job, nor my dream job (it just doesn’t pay well enough right now) but it is a hobby and really fun to me at times.

  4. Currently I am a builder, hoping to learn Lua in between work and education. I already know a few coding languages but I am a master of none, and Lua seems challenging, but to that I say bring it on!

  5. I hope to look back on this and see where I started and how far I’ve come. See you soon, future self.

Hi I’m new here, happy to be a member of this forum!
Question Answers:

  1. A friend introduced me to Roblox around 4 years ago.
  2. I had become an avid player off and on the platform, and I’ve always wanted to be a Developer of some sort, thought that there would be no better place to start than here.
  3. My current goal is mastering the fundamentals of Lua (enough to create a starter game) then practice and improve from there.
  4. Atm I am learning to be a scripter, but I know my way around the Studio tools and while I can’t build anything amazing, I know enough about building to create basic frameworks.

Thanks for giving me the privilege of member on this forum, and I look forward to contributing to this community. Stay safe, have fun :smiley:.

  1. I started playing Roblox a few months ago on New Year’s Eve of 2020 because a lot of my cousins were playing it and I wanted to see what it was!

  2. I used to play a game called Blocksworld which although not as advanced as Roblox, let you create your own games, so when I saw you could also do that on Roblox I thought it sounded like fun!

  3. I have made a group with two of my friends on Roblox and we hope to have a game called Ostrich out on Roblox soon! (Just in case you were wondering, my group is called Iron on Iron Studios.)

  4. I am mostly a Programmer but will also need to do some building and modeling for my games. (Thankfully one of my friends is good at Ui design so I won’t also need to do that!)

  5. Also, my favorite game on Roblox is Jailbreak!

Hi, I’m BillyBobRAE. I found roblox through a video called “Train Safety with Blokav the Robloxian”. I was and still am into trains. I burnt through a lot of accounts as I forgot their passwords. The oldest I remember was named “KillaRobloxian”, which I created in 2010. Others include “Amtrak9016”, “NSmember” (I played a lot of Elder Terminal back in the day), and “MaglevtoMonorail”

I started developing with build mode. Remember that? I got into studio when I started wanting more control. I began by making a bunch of free-modelled games, most of which boiled down to “A train in a city” or “A train killed a guy”. Half the time, I used the wrong type of train or track, and it didn’t work. It was kinda messed up, but I’m past that.

My current goals are just to make a breakthrough and have a game that is popular. My achievements include a chemical plant game, fighting game, a game about a ferry, and a game where you run in front of a landing plane to earn points.

I am a jack of all trades, but master of none. My building is okay, scripting does the job, but could be organized better. My UI design isn’t great, but it works.

A fun story: Before I first played, I saw a video titled “100 ways to die in roblox”, one of which was touching a spawn. I was super terrified of spawns and as soon as I joined a game, I thought “Am I being spawnkilled?”. Then I touched the spawn and, surprise, didn’t die!

Hey everyone! I am santokioS.

I found roblox trough a friend already a long time ago, but only “recently” I got into developing with roblox studio.
I have made some small projects already, and now I’m working on a big obby called Obby Around The World together with a small team.
My strongest skill is programming, but I’m also a builder, a UI designer and a GFX artist (basically everything :sweat_smile: )
And that’s it! I took me a while to get on the developer forum, but now I’m finaly here yay!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    My friends were playing it, I saw it and thought it looked cool.
  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I discovered AlvinBlox in my YouTube recommended, and when I learned that every game was user-made, I was hooked.
  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I have a group with almost 50 people, SwiftStorm Studios, and one currently published game, Battle Burst.
  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Primarily a Programmer and Game Designer, although I do a bit of everything.
  5. Anything else you would like to include
    Go join my group! The game will be updated every 2 weeks, starting this coming weekend!

My name is MOREKIMCHIIII, but you can call me Kimchiiii for short :>. I found Roblox through a friend in my 7th grade year, and fell in love with it. This is my second account and I have had it since 2018! my first ever account was made in 2016! through this I learned how the Roblox community works, and with working with people, I developed a further love to want to help them! I recently joined the forum and I hope to help developers with here needs!. I got started with development after creating my first ever home store! I asked a few groups to add there lines in, and so there stores are still in development! My current goal on the platform is to receive some commissions for clothing and building in game items. as this is how I hope to make a few Robux to make a game in the future! so far I have achieved a homestore, and a clothing line, as it is not big, I want to work hard to expand and create more clothing. My current roles in the community are Builder, and Clothing Designer. :>. I hope that I am able to help as many people as I can, and to also make commissions to eventually make my own game :>!

Hello everybody. Im beyond exited to be accepted into this Forum finally.
I’m Ben, 27 and quite new to Developing.
I found Roblox relatively late. Someone who talked about a game about the Titanic played said game and i wanted to try that out myself and i stayed ever since. I loved the Idea of people creating content and games but at first i was just a player.
I started developing last year actually when i got back from the Hospital with a Pancreatitis that nearly killed me.
I worked in theater and wanted to build my favorite one in Roblox so I started that. I got the Hang on Blender and re-modeld piece by piece and got so proud of the result when it looked like the real deal. I then started to do a “role play” game that takes Places in an Airship.
I started to look up stuff on here that are as simple as how to make a light turn on and off and how basic clickdetectors work.
I learned a lot over the year and im so proud of myself.

I continued to do what i learned to do which is creating and re-creating set designs from and for musicals and Roblox theater shows and help people who are new to Developing on how to move set pieces and build theaters for them so they can get started. I love to teach what i learned and always appriciate people who share what the know. Thats what makes roblox the best community for me.

My role at the moment is mostly Builder but i work to be a Programmer too. Im at the beginning of my Developing Journey and im exited where it gets me.

I hope you are all safe and healthy and also hope to see some of you soon when i ask super stupid questions haha.

Greetings from Germany and thanks for reading.

Hi! I am new here to the developer forum! I literally just made it to member status (hooray!), and this is my first post ever so yeah hi!

I have been interested in programming for just over one year now and I have learnt a lot. I mean a lot. C, Python, HTML, Lua, Unreal Engine Blueprints and started blender. So yeah I pick this stuff up pretty quickly. Since my parents promised they would buy me and my brother a computer we have been brainstorming a game to develop here on Roblox. Currently it is just the two of us and I’m not going to give away any spoilers! (you might steal our ideas).

Anyway I look forward to working with some of you!

Hello! my name is uzie
Roblox started when I was young. (After deleting TIX) I was recommended by my acquaintance and started the game.

I started developing the platform because I wanted to do it as a hobby, and at first, I used free models and practiced and learned about the studio.

The goal of the current platform is 1,000 visitors and has helped develop many Korean games.

Builder, Programmer

Please take good care of the development training.
and my dream is Roblox Admin

Have a Nice day :slight_smile:

  • By researching back in 2015 for new games. There came RÕBLOX as my new favorite game on my first account - (not gonna say) - and then comes my other account also in the early RÕBLOX community in 2016.

  • I got started by seeing how well and cool things could develop and how other’s skills were.

  • None at the moment. Just keep doing what I do.

  • I’m a graphical designer and a builder.

  • I’m currently learning on how to become a modeller. (Game designing)

Hey! I’m new here; it feels amazing to finally be part of DevForum!

My name is TheNightBanana (Banana for short), I’m a 3D modeler and 2D artist. I’ve been working with Blender for just under a year.

I discovered Roblox through a friend of mine in elementary school, and let’s just say that was the best day of my life. I had no idea it would lead to all this - new friends, new hobbies, I’ve finally found my passion. Game development.
