Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello there, I am MarshadowReunites, thank you for accepting me into the Developer Forums!

:roblox: I have been a ROBLOX player since 2015, back when I have been using Guests instead of a ROBLOX account.
:roblox_light: And now since becoming a small ROBLOX developer, I have worked on a few projects on my own, which includes ROBLOX Sale Hangout, and Super Obstacle Conqueror, the game me and my friend are making.

Hello, my name is denisuu and Iā€™ve been on roblox since 2015 because I saw a roblox ad on another website, then I went offline until 2019 when it was very popular and I still remembered my password, after that I decided to make a game because I really wanted robux to get a better looking avatar so I made a game with my friends and kept working on it, after some time I started working on other projects and got better with building and been trying to get even better since

  1. It was at the beginning of the year 2012. I found ROBLOX through my little brother. At first, I thought it was just a boring generic brick game. Then I found out that you could create games. Thatā€™s what intrigued me the most and have been on this platform ever since.

  2. Before I did any actual coding, I had found out about HTML through right-clicking on web pages with Chrome. That sparked my interest in development. I wanted to do more and push myself. Iā€™ve stuck myself with programming because I think I love to learn.

  3. I havenā€™t set any goals, yet. Though, seeing that ROBLOX can now pay developers to create games in the past few years, I will have to push myself for that dream to come true.

  4. My role in this community is being a programmer. I suck at building (including 3d modeling) and creating aesthetically pleasing UI. Math is my weakest suit so do not expect some good results for some ā€œadvancedā€ features that require math; though I will give my best of my ability.

  5. Yes. First of all. I am not new to this forum. I actually joined here when it was first introduced. The only way to, well, speak back then was through application approval. Iā€™ve waited at least 3 months before I re-applied for the approval process. I gave up after not hearing back for another 3 months. I thought the dev forums was going to be a failure because of this. ā€œBut CMV. Your profile says that you recently joined.ā€ Youā€™re right it does say that, though, the dev forum veterans here will confirm whether what I said is true or not.

I originally found Roblox when I was much younger (getting close to 10 years ago) while I was on a flash games website and I saw an advertisement for Roblox on there. Safe to say the advertisement worked.

The first few times I tried developing on Roblox it was only using free models I found on the library and me just trying to make games I liked (and being very frustrated when they wouldnā€™t save because I didnā€™t know how to publish). I also really liked the old private servers feature or whatever it was called where you could build in-game and it would save. From there I only improved with time to get to where I am today.

My #1 goal on the platform currently is to finish up remaking my game and see how much we can grow it further than the original. My general goals are just to grow my presence on the platform and reap the rewards hahaha.

Iā€™ve been programming on Roblox for the past 5 years almost and I have grown a lot since my days of spamming the old Roblox scripters subforum with simple problems to say the very least lol.

Iā€™m happy I finally wrote down my introduction after being on the devforum for a while now, Iā€™ve been reading some of the replies to this thread and some of them are very cool to see.

I canā€™t actually remember but I do believe that I stumbled upon it from a youtube ad.
I wanted to know how people made the games what I was playing so here I am.
I made my first 30k in a month after starting animating along with maybe 130 USD? Its been about a month and a half now so Iā€™ve made a bit more but Iā€™ve been relaxing, really.
Iā€™m an animator.

Hello, I am Niko and I yesterday became a Roblox DevForum member.

My friend recommended Roblox to me, so I started playing it and it became interesting and entertaining.

I am developing on Roblox since 2017. and my problem was that when I would start a project, after some time I would get bored or I would think that it is too hard for me so I would quit with my project.
Now in 2021., I am working on IFE (In-flight entertainment system) and I think that I am going to finish this project successfully with the help of the Roblox DevForum.

In future I want to improve my scripting skills so I can start more advanced projects.

I hope this forum will be very helpful and that I will get enough help to finish my project!

Hey All! Iā€™m KrStin, you can call me KrStin or Kris! Iā€™ve been a dev forum member for a few months but havenā€™t had the chance to introduce myself.

  1. I discovered ROBLOX back in 2017 after playing with a friend of mine in his front yard (Fun Fact: My original name ā€œKriscross102ā€ was actually because of his name ā€œKriscross101ā€. This is the reason why I got Roblox, just so I specifically could have that name)

  2. I got started with developing my creating random scripts which did nothing, and then slowly improved by watching tutorials by many people and eventually started to make my games

  3. None. Iā€™m still working on developing a game that hopefully can become successful.

  4. I program a lot and know about five different programming languages; these can include HTML and CSS. I always enjoy coding and programming.

  5. Nothing else to be honest. I just thought I would read a few messages and happened to make my way here, and now Iā€™m writing this for all of you.

With that all said, I hope you all have a great day/afternoon/evening/night, and Iā€™ll see you all later!

Regards,
Kris

Hi! Iā€™m Zara. Iā€™ve recently become a devform member and I wanted to introduce myself
1. How did you find Roblox?
About 2-3 years ago I downloaded it on my tablet and found it weird so I didnā€™t come back to it after a while. I re-tried Roblox approximately 1 and a half year ago
2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I found the idea cool that I could apparently make my own game and tried it out
3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
, Iā€™ve made a few terrains, builds but nothing that special
4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

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. Iā€™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 ). Iā€™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, thatā€™s about it, whoever is reading this, have a nice day! and hope to see yaā€™lls games on the front page!

Hey, Iā€™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 Iā€™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 Iā€™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 Iā€™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 Iā€™m just here for fun so I donā€™t really care.

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

5. Anything else you would like to include
Donā€™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 itā€™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 ā€˜gallery houseā€™ that would showcase most of the things youā€™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, Iā€™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 ā€˜Homesteadā€™ badge. Iā€™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 werenā€™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 Iā€™ve got the most experience in this particular field of development.

Anything else youā€™d like to include?

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

Hello, Iā€™m unmute_ty and was just recently promoted to become a member! Iā€™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.

Iā€™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 Iā€™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!
