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.
Iā€™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 ā€œrole playā€ 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 Iā€™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 RƕBLOX as my new favorite game on my first account - (not gonna say) - and then comes my other account also in the early RƕBLOX community in 2016.

  • I got started by seeing how well and cool things could develop and how otherā€™s skills were.

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

  • Iā€™m a graphical designer and a builder.

  • Iā€™m currently learning on how to become a modeller. (Game designing)

Hey! Iā€™m new here; it feels amazing to finally be part of DevForum!

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

I discovered Roblox through a friend of mine in elementary school, and letā€™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, Iā€™ve finally found my passion. Game development.

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    Answer: ā€œI found out when my brother started playing Roblox in 2014, and so i also started playing Roblox as a guest.
    Begin 2017 i made my first account since that time the emails were disabled.ā€

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    Answer: ā€œI started Developing in 2018, howeverā€¦ I couldnā€™t call it developing since i only inserted free models. My goal was to create a pirate gameā€¦ but i couldnā€™t script which held me off developing for a year. In 2019 i more likely started to build and tried to learn how to script, and like that i found a few jobs and scams.ā€

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Answer: ā€œI want to expand my knowledge of scripting. Its very poor on the moment, but i wonā€™t give up.ā€

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Answer: ā€œA month ago i started making my first GFX, but i mainly am a Modeller & Builder, but my main goal is to become a Programmer.ā€

Hey, Iā€™m not new here but I havenā€™t posted here yet, so here I go. I found Roblox back in 2015 in school. I also saw it on the news and fell in love with the game. I quit for a couple years until 2018-2019, and I am now a project manager, game designer, and scripter. (Depends on the project)

I started development when I realized how much money they earned. Soon after, two of my friends and I made a free model game. Then I started learning scripting, and it became a serious hobby.

My goals are to stay motivated and to allow Roblox to ā€œpower my imaginationā€ for a very long time.

Fun fact:
Some of the oldest posts here are listed as followed: (they didnā€™t have any rules back then and were all in development discussion. Most are by shedletsky)

NOTE: Some of these are not locked, PLEASE do not reply on them, you will bump the topic, and the posts are over 7 years old. Also, it is like a museum, so let us preserve the current state of these posts.

Hey, Iā€™m vibratingclock.
This is not my main account, but I decided to make a fresh account about a week ago, so here I am. Iā€™m 13, and I found Roblox a couple years ago(2018) from my friend at the time. It really hasnā€™t been that long, but it feels like forever! I got started with development just a few months ago, when I finally got my own computer. I was really interested in developing, but I did not have the resources to get into it. My goal on the platform is to learn how to script and create a successful game. My role in the developer community is not officially ā€œprogrammerā€, because I really donā€™t know too much about it. I want to learn, though.
Hope to see yā€™all around!

Ah finally, I get perms to speak in this forum, now time to get started!

Iā€™m new here, but in fact, I have been playing Roblox since I was 7, about 7 years ago. Wow, how time flies! In fact, Iā€™m 14 now, and back then, I used my old account (and forgot the password), and in fact, my current account is 4 years old. I also played as a guest.

Last year, I was hired by a few companies to make buses for them, which actually sparked my interest in studio. In fact, I have put in lots of effort into my bus designs and I really love my work. Currently, I plan on finishing a Merc Citaro and also a OC500LE (O500LE in Aussie).

I really like building and I also have been in the GFX and design sector for some time, and my building is quite realistic if done well, and of course, if you want some images, please PM me.

And thatā€™s all for now, I really hope to enjoy this community with everyone of you here!

Hello there!
So, Iā€™m new to the developing community and itā€™s an honor for me to be here on the forum.
As I just said, Iā€™m a beginner in almost everything that is related to developing, coding and building in Studio.
Iā€™ll start to improve my coding skills next year as Iā€™ll go to the university but for now, Iā€™m learning on my own by reading posts here or watching tutorials on Youtube, or I just read documentation.

I donā€™t even know how I found Roblox but I know it was in 2017. At first I was just browsing games and playing famous ones. Then I found out I could make my own. As I want to work in IT later, I though it could be a really good opportunity for me to start on Roblox.

When I started learning and trying things in Roblox Studio, I was struggling to find a good game idea. I started with a random obby map but I quit really fast because I was not convinced by what I was doing. Now I found the motivation to continue what I like even if itā€™s not always perfect.
So Iā€™m currently working on an animated obby map. And another huge project which is still in my mind is a racing game.
I also want to say that Iā€™m working alone on my games as I cannot pay people to work for me. Itā€™s actually not a real problem as I almost like everything I need to do (building, scripting, etc).

Iā€™m glad to be now a member of the forum, Iā€™m sure my journey here will be really instructive and maybe Iā€™ll get to now other developers, which is always great!

Last thing, English isnā€™t my first language, so donā€™t hesitate to correct me if I make mistakes.

Have a nice day everyone!

I found Roblox from Youtube videos on it. I wanted to make a place where me and my friend could hang out and then I eventually started to learn scripting. I want to make a RP game. I am a Programmer.

1 - I found roblox from youtube, I watched a lot of youtube videos when I was younger and ever since roblox was a very fun community and I have learned a lot of new things and I have enjoyed many experiences.

2 - I am not a great developer I try my best but I really enjoyed putting my ideas to a reality.

3 - I hope to one day become a known group owner.

4 - Builder.

5 - Nope! :smiley:
