Hi everyone, I started Roblox when I saw my friend playing Roblox in maths class. I started Roblox dev about 2 years ago, like everyone else when I first start I have absolutely zero knowledge of how to script, thanks to Minecraft, I know how to build I guess. I’ve been on Roblox for almost 4 years now and I am still enjoying it, currently building a driving game based on my own country ( still nowhere close to done ). I’ve learnt a lot from devforum and Youtube ( there are a lot of really good resources to learn from ). By self-learning, I am basically an amateur in building, scripting and modelling. Yeah, that’s about it, whoever is reading this, have a nice day! and hope to see ya’lls games on the front page!

Hey, I’m fantoro!

1. How did you find Roblox?
I used to play a lot of Unturned during the 2.0 days and I remember before I’d gotten into it I read a Steam review that mentioned Roblox and so I looked it up and made an account of curiosity (although I think I’ve played as a guest for a month or so).

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I was always interested in game development as a kid and so when I made an account I was immediately drawn to Studio, although I’ve given up (a few times) I kept coming back to it and just experimenting with stuff.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
No goals and no real achievements imo but I’m just here for fun so I don’t really care.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I guess I’m a programmer, although a very terrible one. Hopefully I’ll get better someday lol.

5. Anything else you would like to include
Don’t have anything else to include really.

Hello! My name is HappySentinel, glad to finally have access to the DevForum.

1. How did you find Roblox?

I found out about Roblox back in 2017. The platform was very popular at my school around this time, I could hear friends and classmates often talking about playing together right after class, and chatting about how fun playing on the platform was. Curious to see what the commotion about Roblox was, I created my first account near the end of March in that year and started playing shortly after.

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

I started some sort of development about a year after I joined Roblox, when I found out that it’s possible to make your own games. I tried making some simple household objects, like couches or lamps, but I found it quite difficult. Over the years, I very rarely tried to improve my development skillset, until 2019 when I decided to start my first project to test my building skills. My goal was to build a ‘gallery house’ that would showcase most of the things you’d need to know about me and my time on Roblox. I was a beginner in building at the time, and I still am, so it took a few months to complete.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform

My current goals on the platform are to become skilled in building, scripting, or any other field of development. I hope I can take part in a big project someday. Regarding achievements, I’ve got a few of them. Completing my gallery house game was an achievement on its own, but it also got about 200 visits, earning me the ‘Homestead’ badge. I’ve also made group avatar badges and logos, owning a group that sold these specific things. I consider this an achievement because it was my first group that involved the making of clothing, and I somehow managed to make about R$400 or more, even though I knew that my products weren’t very high quality. The group was closed after a lack of motivation to continue making any of these products, but it was a great experience while it lasted.

What is your role in the developer community?

My role in the developer community would probably be a Builder, as I’ve got the most experience in this particular field of development.

Anything else you’d like to include?

It’s been great to finally get access to more of the DevForum, as I’ve mentioned earlier. I hope I can be a great addition to conversations and contribute enough to the numerous forum categories available.

Hello, I’m unmute_ty and was just recently promoted to become a member! I’ve been a Roblox player for a few years (starting from when I was in elementary) and I vaguely remember my first starting experience, but I did experience playing with that old cursor that is transparent in the middle and the old touch to move.

I’m not sure when I started with development, but all I can remember is I started with building then stopped at some point, but now I’m starting with scripting just recently, which is why my main goals would be: 1. understanding Roblox API, 2. start learning to build again, and 3. learn what I need to learn so I can make my own game.

I hope to learn more from this developer forum as a new member, and meet new people!

Hey there! I’m DragonWolf13999 (This is just my business account).
I have just been accepted into the DevForum!

  1. I found Roblox from a friend, he recommended it to me!
  2. I first started by making games with free models. Later, I started making my own models.
  3. My current goal is to be a well-known developer on Roblox!
  4. I am a Builder. I like building, but I also program a bit. I would not call myself a professional programmer, though.
  5. I read lots of DevForum posts and topics, and it seems great! It does have its flaws, but it is still great forum. I hope others think this, too!

Hello I’m Aveson, I Played Roblox when I was 8 at a random ad I found on YouTube. After that I got back into Roblox after 7 years. I didn’t know about the Roblox studio side. I am really Into Coding and making games and want to learn more about it.

I got Started at the Development on Roblox platform recently, It started with my friend wanting me to play Roblox with them and The Game was Phantom forces ,Arsenal and some Photorealism games. They were all great games and I play them A lot. I wanted to know how the game worked and the so called " Blocky Game" that everyone calls Roblox manages to make such a great community and Games(Now Known as Experience). I Got Into a Discord Server that Was Planning on Making a Game for their community , I’m their Main scripter (The only). It’s A Fun place and I wanted to help them out and learn more about how Roblox development worked and about coding in general.

My current Goals right now is to Learn More about Lua and Help The Game Out, Currently the best Things I have made is a Coin system, Banning System, Music GUI and other Basic stuff. my Goal Right now is to Make a Daily Reward System and A Shooter Game.

My Role is Scripter , I’m not that Good at it but that’s the main niche I go for. Besides that I do some Low-Poly Building.

Nothing Much besides Community Resources and Resources Tutorial Has helped me a lot to understand how the Engine works.

Hello, My name is Veebee!

I have been interested in Programming and Game Development for years now. After playing some games that were created by just one person, i wanted to try making my own game, but i never managed to get myself to learn a programming language.

In the beginning of this year, i finally got into the right mindset to start learning. I’ve made a lot of progress already.

Here are the answers to the questions:

  1. On May 2012, I was watching Youtube, and i stumbled across a Roblox video. After watching the video i searched up Roblox in the search engine and downloaded it.

  2. When i decided to start developing games this year, i quickly remembered about Roblox and started working with Roblox Studio

  3. My main goal is to release a proper online RPG game. Though i’ll work on simpler games before that.

  4. Programmer and Builder.

Thanks for reading! I’m looking forward to contributing! :grinning:

Hello, i’m AtanHero i met roblox in 2018 after a friend of mine recommended it, since then I was just one year being a common player and then I started learning how to create games, at first it was the biggest challenge of all for me, since I didn’t know literally anything, so I started to to see freemodels that were in the toolbox, and I learned a lot, and I spent one year learning to program by seeing free models in the toolbox, it was not easy, I never went to any forum to learn or saw something video only after learning the basics I went to see only on the forum certain things, but I didn’t know about the roblox website about the Roblox API Reference Manual because I just joined to create a game for fun so in the beginning I didn’t read anything I just picked it up and started creating my games, well I think that’s it, I learned programming from scratch with free models, my goal is to be able to have an income with roblox and some game of mine being famous maybe, well I still think small, i’m a programmer, but unlike some i’m much worse i don’t know how to do many things, thanks for reading this far, sorry for taking your time :slight_smile:

1. How did you find Roblox?
I originally remember finding roblox from EthanTV as a kid.

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
My Dream as a kid was making a Sci Fi armies’. I used to draw them and do anything I could. I found out about studio from a friend who said I could build stuff on roblox and he showed me studio. Like most I just played around with free models into one day I found out I can insert my own parts and then i kind of taught myself basically.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
One of my current goals is to make a total of 1M robux.
Own a group with over 50k members.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I am a builder but I am also more on the technical side of development. I can do great game monetization and marketing.

5. Anything else you would like to include
I’m happy I am now a member.

Hi all! I’m Boxxxxxxxxxxx.

I found ROBLOX in 2010, on accident, when looking up ‘plane simulator games.’ I found a ROBLOX game and played as a guest, later creating my first account, ilovebox12. This account was terminated when I was younger, as I accidentally gave out the password, and I then created FestiveVakEmpire—which, before changing usernames, became my alt when I switched to Boxxxxxxxxxxx.

With development, I do not do too much studio work. I have made a few studio projects when I was younger, but these are mostly terrible. However, I actually learned how studio worked by using it so much, and I am currently recreating a Christmas build but in an updated manner for a 2021 Christmas event.

My achievements wouldn’t amount too to much tangibly. I currently am in a few high ranks among groups I’ve been in for a few years, and that’s about all.

I’d consider myself a builder for hobby, not really a game developer nor scripter (as I know only a bit about scripting).

Best!

Hello! I want to say that I’m very happy to be accepted in the forums :smiley:

My name is Benjamin/Ben, as you could probably tell from my username lol.

I never really got on Roblox till I noticed that many of my friends play it, that’s when I made my account around late 2018.

I played on mobile for 2 years, until I watched a video where TheDevKing taught his friend the basics of scripting in 15 minutes. I became very interested in learning Lua, following tutorials and creating them in Studio.

As of now, I’ve been learning for 9 months and making something based on a children’s game, not a big achievement but I’m proud of it.

I’m not really sure where my role in the community is yet. Not really a great builder or scripter, but I know a bit about both. I still consider myself a newbie. I’ve made a couple of animations though.

Anyways thank you so much for accepting me into the forums. I hope I can learn more about this community.

Hello, I’m Fighter169mobile. I first found out about Roblox through a friend and was fascinated by the idea of having the ability to have your own custom avatar in any Roblox world.

I never thought I would be involved with coding, but Roblox gave me the spark to start my coding journey just from accidentally opening a script.

A few world creations later, my motto on Roblox became “Hi, I script…” I’ve mostly involved myself with GUI design and general coding.

My goal in the future is to learn more about humanoid physics in Roblox, and to create practical programs outside of Roblox as well.

Hello I am ThatOneUnoriginal (or “Unoriginal”) I don’t exactly remember how I first heard about Roblox but it was most likely via my brother or someone else. I enjoyed the game, created an account and the rest is history I suppose.
I started developing after seeing the amazing experiences on the platform at the time. So I opened studio, looked up some tutorials and started. My current goals are to become better at coding in Roblox as I’m not that good.
I would say I’m a Builder as I’m the most experienced in building things.

  1. I don’t exactly remember, the most likely answer was that I saw a YouTube video about and decided to check the site out.
  2. Was bored at home, found Roblox Studio in my apps and I played around with it for a while.
  3. Not much, just a couple months ago I started to get really into developing (I would just tinker around with it before that). However I would like to make some robux and get really good at what I do.
  4. Mostly builder, but I’m starting to get into GFX and Animating.
