Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello! I found Roblox through a friend and I started looking to learn to develop when I saw so many fun games and I wanted to make them. Some goals I have are to create a successful game with a good player base! I do not really specialize in any role I am trying to learn everything at the moment. I am hoping to learn how to design, script, GFX, build, and everything else!

Hi all!
I just wanted to say hello now that I am an official member of the dev forums! Iā€™m primarily a roblox scripter (since 2018), but am always working to better my building skills as well. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity, I look forward to getting to know the community more!

Thanks,

I found ROBLOX in 2016 when I saw PinkSheep playing it and I wanted to try it out.

I started with development when I was planning to build a game with my friends back when I was younger. Major influence from Project Pokemon.

Iā€™m trying to be a great artist.

I think that I would count myself as an Artist.

Nope!

Hello! I guess you can call me blorski, even though that username only began existing when I made my roblox account this year.

I used to play Roblox as a kid, joined in about 2007 or 2008, being about age 7 or 8 respectively. It was my obsession for the next couple of years after that, and I aspired to be a member of the Roblox staff, even if I had no idea what that entailed. When I came back to the platform this year I was ASTOUNDED by how far it has come.

I was inspired to learn about Roblox developing when I realized how much the platform really is capable of, especially now. Not only are there so many tools to help me (someone with no coding experience) create whatever I want, but what really inspires me is the fact that anyone can share their work as a multiplayer, online experience for FREE!

Right now my goals are to continue learning how to code and getting accustomed to it. I have been messing around with blender as well, and imagining possible games I could create in the future. Once I feel that my understanding of everything is solid enough, I plan to make a smaller scale game as a sort of prototype for my creating as a whole.

Iā€™ve heard that the life of a one man dev team is stress city, but thatā€™s where I picture myself right now- jack of all trades, ace of none (yet? :happy1:) I definitely expect to look to others to help iron out any games in the future, and I canā€™t for the life of me picture myself as a sound designer.

I think Iā€™ve droned on long enough in my answers to the questions, so thatā€™ll be it!

hi, im sillyman0108 but you can just call me sillyman or silly

  1. i found roblox through my cousins in 2014, same day i joined
  2. i got started with development a few months after i joined, my first games were mainly just things i put together with free models though i gradually escalated to learning lua and making proper games, none of which i have finished yet though
  3. my current goal is to finish all games i have and make a positive impact on people
  4. i mainly build though iā€™m still learning
  5. nope, just have a good day/afternoon/evening/night to whoever may be reading this!
  1. I found Roblox in 2016 on youtube, a YouTuber named DenisDaily.
  2. I first got started with the development in 2020, I met a group named ā€œPopeyesā€ and some of the developers helped me out building/scripting, it was pretty hard but I got through it and now I sometimes build and sometimes script!
  3. Current Goals in this platform are helping others and hopefully, some members can help me out with stuff I need help with, Iā€™m trying to make a stay alive and steal your time game so hopefully, some people can help me out on this platform!
  4. My role in the developer community is GFX
  5. I donā€™t anything much to say but thank you for this opportunity!

Iā€™ve playing Roblox for around 8 years now; This accountā€™s been and been for the majority of my time on the platform, Iā€™ve always had an eye for creative games despite not being insanely creative as the ones I see on display, which knocked my morale, but I had a thing for creating games from the start, starting with simply building and importing free models. I loved RPGs so I tried to make them at first, created a game, messed around for an hour, then made a new one at a different time.

Iā€™d been changing values in free models and free scripts to make them seem like they were mine, thatā€™s how I got into scripting, and - then about a year and a half ago I decided to up it a notch and actually learn from tutorials how to script piece by piece so I can devise something by myself. Around 90% of the knowledge I have was assimilated during that 3-month phase, and Iā€™ve been having small phases since.

At a certain period in scripting, you know enough that, with things youā€™ve never done before, the conceptualization for how to do itā€™s appearing in your mind like lightbulbs. Like LEGO how they just think up the instructions and go for it.

So I wanted to sell my knowledge, both in building and scripting at the time. But Iā€™ve always been paranoid I wasnā€™t good enough just yet. That mindset kept up for it a bit, but now Iā€™m at the point where itā€™s now or really far later.

My role is as an intermediate scripter. And thatā€™s the spruce of this fragment of my narrative. Thanks.

I donā€™t know if this is how I do this, but lets try it.
Hello, Iā€™m ItsPurpleCat, and I am a terrain artist/builder!

I first started playing Roblox back in 2014, only playing as a guest
as I was too scared my parents wouldnā€™t let me use their emails or my OWN email.
Since then, Iā€™ve been playing for 8 YEARS! An awful long time if I say so myself.

I first started developing around 3 years ago in 2018 when I got my first computer!
Since then, Iā€™ve never really thought too deep into developing for Roblox as my first
thought was that it was a childrenā€™s game, but alas. Iā€™ve fully started putting in heavy work
into my builds and developing around a year and a half ago! Yay!

My current goal right now is to be accepted into a loving and caring team that work hard together.
I want to join a dev team to where we all have fun and enjoy ourselves, that would be amazing.

My current roles are being a terrain artist/builder. :slight_smile:

But yes, that is all! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi iā€™m new here! I am Bachiku.
1)
I found Roblox by complete chance many years ago, just trying to find some random games to play to pass the time.
2)
I started ā€œdevelopmentā€ as soon as I saw the roblox studio icon pop up when i downloaded roblox, but in reality it was just some free model spam that eventually crashed my laptop. I would on the off-chance make some random games for my friends usually with free models. Due to me giving up on scripting early on (I am picking it up again though now that I am a lot older) I ended up working on building, which I am still not very good at, but I try my best.
3)
Currently I am just trying to learn building, scripting and the business side of making a game, after that I plan on becoming a solo dev.
4)
Builder, due to my lack of open-mindedness early on I just chose the first option available to me which was building.
5)
i am leaving this post as more of a personal note to me five years in the future:
Did you finally create a game youā€™re proud of?

I am also new here, I just got ranked to member. I thought it would take forever lol!

I am DarkTryptic, Iā€™ve been on this platform for 10 years now. (Joined on an alt) I am 15 years old and I started developing around 2015.

I found Roblox Studio by looking at my desktop and I found the Studio app. My first game was a zombie apocalypses game made out of free models.

Some of my achievements on this platform are reaching 75K+ total game visits on two games. I created one of the most popular Ro-State groups, itā€™s hay-day was around the summer of 2019. My current goals are to go to RDC someday and to finish my current simulator. I want to see how great my development skills are and I want to see how successful me and my team can be.

I am a Builder, Modeler and Scripter.

I am a HUGEEEEEEE History, Social Studies, Geography and Science nerd. I am also a HUGEEE Marvel, Transformers and Harry Potter nerd. I also love sports, my favourite sports being Swimming, Soccer, Rugby, Football and Basketball. I am also Canadian! :smiley:

I hope I can get successful one day, thanks for reading and have a nice day. :slight_smile:

A bit mad seeing a message of me becoming a member. Iā€™ve been online looking at the Devforums for about 5 months ever so often.

Itā€™s great to finally comment :joy:. Iā€™m a scripted and builder. Blender is something on my bucket list.

I saw Roblox Studio right after I installed ROBLOX on my Computer. I tried to build somehow, even tried to make some cool gamesā€¦but failed. I learned many things trough the years, improved my building skills and now here I am! My current goal is improving my building skills. I really enjoy building and I am even trying to learn programming. I also like to draw and write. I am looking forward being a part of this great community.

Thank you.

How Did You Find Roblox?

I found roblox in about 2016 - 2017ish and it was through my friend. I saw him playing an obby and I fell in love with the platform. Weā€™d talk about it everyday.

How Did You Get Started With Development On The Roblox Platform?

Well, I saw this thing that was downloaded on my computer which said, Roblox Studio. I clicked it and always went there ever since.

Current Goals/achievements On The Platform

Making games for other people to enjoy.

What Is Your Role In The Developer Community

Scripter.

Anything Else You Would Like To Include

Never give up, because you never know whatā€™ll happen. :wink:

Lol, just found this topic after all this time.
Anyways,

  1. A banner ad on Wikipedia (If I remember correctly)
  2. I think I promised my friends to make some kind of game?
  3. Get a game with 1m+ plays
  4. Currently UI designing + scripting
  5. no

1 - I found Roblox back in either 2015 or 2016 from my cousinā€™s old YouTube channel. He was playing some Roblox game and I was interested in it and wanted to try it out for myself so I downloaded it on my phone because thatā€™s all I had at the time. I first played as a Guest when they still existed and I played this Wipeout Obby and couldnā€™t beat the big balls so I rage quit and deleted Roblox lol. Then in early 2016 sometime I downloaded Roblox again and made my first account and ever since then Iā€™ve been enjoying Roblox lots.

2 - Iā€™ve wanted to develop my own game on Roblox for a couple years now but I was too lazy at the start so I never made any progress when trying to learn about it but now I am currently developing my first game. Iā€™m still kind of a beginner at developing but Iā€™m learning along the way of building my game.

3 - My current goals on Roblox are to make fun games for the majority to enjoy. I just want to make another form of entertainment with my games for anyone at all to just have a good time and make new friends. I also want to win a Bloxy award someday and I know I should keep dreaming people will say but Iā€™m just going to work really hard to achieve that and Iā€™m not going to stop until I do achieve it.

4 - I am the creator of my game and I do just about everything but I am more into scripting than anything because I just enjoy code (Iā€™m not very good with visual design lol but I am trying my best to get better).

5 - I have just been promoted to member on here and Iā€™m so glad I can finally make posts on here for whenever I need help with something Iā€™m working on. I hope people will be able to help me. Iā€™m not looking for people to just give me the answer I want to know how to do it so that I can actually learn and know what to do. I hope you all have a nice day and I hope we can all help each other to the best of our abilites! :smile:
