Hello everyone I have just been made a member after a long time. My name is Talls_Smols I am co-owner of a group called Talls and Smols -talls and smols - Roblox. I try to make games that are fun for everyone. I am not very good with scripts but I can adapt some script from toolbox to fit in my game.

Hi! I am breuning. Iā€™ve been on Roblox since 2008, and have learned Lua thanks to it. I came back recently to check out how things have changed and I am astounded as well as kind of sad (most of my scripts broke due to the hard server/client cut and other updates).

How did you find Roblox?

I found Roblox over an Advertisement on Newgrounds

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?

I started out fooling around with free models in Studio, at some point I had a front page game (front page meaning 20-30 players at that time)

Current goals/achievements on the platform

I really, really want to make a space dogfighting game with some hardcorey elements and a lot of space for customisation. Itā€™s already WIP, but I still need to get used to all the changes in API, it might take a while.

What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

I am a Programmer. Albeit a rusty one.

Anything else you would like to include

Iā€™d love any advice about how to structure client-server interactions, particularly when it comes to CPU-intensive functions

Hello!

Iā€™m quite be where and just got promoted to member. Itā€™s been quite nice hanging around and just checking out these posts, very helpful for commissions.

Iā€™m currently trying to learn how to create models in blender, as well as build. DevForum has been quite helpful with my process of learning.

Glad to be here!

Hello everybody! I am finally proud to be here! :smiley:

My name is Holdiaz. I found ROBLOX in around 2017-2018 and i started playing ā€œWork at a Pizza Place!ā€ which was popular around these times!

At 2019, I discovered ROBLOX Studio and started playing out with it. Then, i was seeing people make some really cool GFX! So i wanted to make one. And that is when i discovered blender.

My current goal on this forum is to help as many people as i can and give feedbacks! Other than that, i donā€™t really have a goal in ROBLOX itself!

My role in the developer community is Builder and Modeler.

I want to say that i am really happy to be here, i am sure weā€™ll get along well!

I found Roblox by word of mouth 4 years ago. Development has been on my mind for a while but Iā€™ve recently gotten into it. My goals are to make a game with my friends, weā€™re currently making an rpg card game (with inspiration from hexaria, persona, etc). My roles in the developer community is animator, programmer, builder, but Iā€™m the best out of those at animation. Iā€™m somewhat scared that my games wonā€™t come to fruition, but practice is what I need the most.

Hey, Iā€™m FlustereDev, new to this whole forum thing!

  1. I first got introduced to ROBLOX through some bunch of YouTube videos I found way back in around late 2009 - some really old stuff like rising lava games and things like that. I made my first couple of accounts in 2010 (my first account I believe I made sort of by accident) and since then have been pretty active on the site.
  2. Development for me started with just messing around with toolbox models in old Studio. Iā€™d stick joint breakers on cars and things and watch them smash into each other (and destroy my framerate). Over time, this evolved into tinkering with other peopleā€™s models, and eventually into being able to build models of my own.
  3. I donā€™t really have any current goals or achievements, I just want to keep doing what Iā€™m doing until something of interest comes to me.
  4. Currently, Iā€™m a casual model builder. I primarily help build assets for the game Rails Unlimited, but have dabbled in a couple other minor projects run by my friends.
  5. Not much, just saying hello.

Hello! Iā€™ve been meaning to check out the Roblox DevForum for a while and Iā€™m glad to finally be a member!

Iā€™m 4TechGuns, a beginner developer that has around 1-2 years of experience of scripting on Roblox.

When I had my first account in 2013, all I did on Roblox was play games. I eventually did hop onto Roblox Studio and messed around with some free models and other things, but that was all I really did.

Back in 2019 or 2020, I was interested in making an actual Roblox game. Me and my friend decided to make a raft building game, and then we got to work. Looking back on it now, we did make some rookie mistakes likeā€¦ uhhā€¦ using server scripts in GUIs.
Anyways, our game actually did take off quite a bit, it has around 600 visits to this day. During the time it only had around 100 visits, I decided to go the selling admin/Flamingo has admin route. It didnā€™t really work, but it kind of boosted our visit count. The game is another account that I had since 2015, itā€™s now considered my mobile account/past coding project graveyard

My experience in Roblox scripting has improved since then. I learned how to use client and server-sided scripts properly, I learned about FindFirstChild and WaitForChild, and I learned about more advanced stuff like Rojo and AeroGameFramework.

Itā€™s really fascinating to see what you can create in Roblox if you use your imagination!

I just got promoted to member like a minute ago haha and im nervous about some stuff because my style of writing is goofy and im used to that but ill try to speak more professional from now on. Im a Hungarian boy who started workin on gfxes just because so i can make fan art for the streamer i started to watch. By now i improved quite a lot but im still not a fully professional gfx maker but i always try something new, mostly the editing partā€¦ I found Roblox in 2016 when i watched videos and i really liked the game because it looked really creative. For now i just hope i can get more information about gfxā€™es in this community so i can improve more and faster. All i wanna say is that im proud to be here ^w^

Edit: I forgot to say that im also kinda sensitive

Hello! Iā€™m HalcyonVisari and I found Roblox aroundā€¦ 5 or 6 years ago? I made an account then at least and from there played roleplay games. I got into development since I worked as a short term scripter for a game and from there my interests took off and 3 years later, I build, mesh, model and script lightly!

My current goal is to design a game and finally get it sorted as it is a genre I love to bits.

Other than that, just making games, helping friends and being a goof. Glad to be a member!

Hey! I have recently been promoted to a member.

I am not sure how I found Roblox, but I used to be a guest in 2015, until I got a real account in 2016.

Around 2018, when I found out that you could make games on Roblox. I really was interested in obby games, so thatā€™s what Iā€™d been making during the time. But, they were pretty basic.

I hope to become a better programmer and modeler, so I can showcase my creations to the public some day.

I am a builder and programmer, but I am mostly a builder since Iā€™ve done that more in the beginning and itā€™s more of my specialty.

I wish to learn much more from these greater developers on this site, and one day get to their area and be recognized.

I found Roblox about 3 years ago when some people at my school were talking about it. I wanted to start making games right away, but I was stuck with a chromebook for a few years and couldnā€™t download the studioā€¦ (really happy I can do it now) My current goal is too finish a game Iā€™ve been working on, and the forums have been helping a lot with that. Iā€™d say Iā€™m a beginner programmer (expert on color changing blocks) and glad to be here!

Hello everyone. I must say it took longer than expected to get in herešŸ˜…. Iā€™ve been on Roblox for a long time as a player, and I started learning how to code in the summer of 2019.

My biggest goal is to make a roblox game that succeeds enough for me to buy a better laptop. It may seem small or insignificant, but as someone currently too young to get a job, itā€™s a daunting task. Iā€™m looking for something capable of running blender and other programs fast enough that Iā€™m not annoyed, and capable of gaming at a semi-high level. Iā€™d b appreciate any suggestions you may have.

My role in the platform at this moment is purely scripter, (mainly because of my laptops limitations) but in the future Iā€™m hoping to get into building and modeling.

I would like to say a big thank you to all of yā€™all for creating this wonderful community.

Hi! Iā€™m Zwei. I found ROBLOX from my brother who no longer plays.
I got started with development by just messing around in ROBLOX Studio and decided to get more into it.
One of my biggest goals is to have a full, functioning game finished with a goal. I do UI designing, scripting, and some building.
