Hello I have just joined and I wanted to say an introduction.

I am a scripter on roblox and I am not too good at it but I am learning new things on the way. I really wish everyone who is also new a good day. I do build sometimes but I am more so a scripter I can not build.

Hi! Thank you for accepting me in the community. I have been using Roblox for 2 years now, and all my questions were answered in this forum without asking, because someone before me had a similar situation. So I never felt the urge to log in. But in the past few weeks I have encountered some post in which I could contribute, or errors in my scripts that I could not solve for myself, or concepts that I did not fully understand, and I discovered I could not post! The wait felt too long, but finally I am here.

So here I introduce myself. I am an educator from Spain, I run and teach in my own academy. I have 7-15 yo students and they all love videogames. My goal is using that passion to create technology. I worked for years developing software when I was younger, but now I pass that knowledge and experience to the next generation.

My background makes me a scripter, but I would like to learn about other aspects of the design. It is never too late to learn!

Hello to you all, I’ve been lurking the dev forums on and off for a while, but recently I’ve decided to become more active for the sake of having a good developer resource when I need it.

How did you find Roblox?
I’ve been playing Roblox for a while since around 2012, although I had to move over to new accounts for one reason or another.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I started messing around with Roblox Studio sometime around 2013-2014, and then started to really get the hang of the program around 2016. Back then, I made buildings that I would upload as free models for people to use primarily because I found it as a fun way to pass the time. Sometimes I would make the occasional game that I would somewhat work on, only to end up losing interest in continuing progress on said game due to a lack of motivation. I’ve mainly stuck with building smaller models since then.

Current goals/achievements for myself on the platform
I have a lot of personal achievements that I want to work towards, it be making a game or learning a bunch of new things, I just need to find the motivation to really do it.

What is your role in the developer community?
At the current moment, I consider myself a amateur builder.

Anything else you would like to include
Outside of me saying that I want to learn how to use Blender, learn how to script, and slowly become my own jack of all trades, I don’t really have much else to add.

Hello everyone! I have come to introduce myself as I was just accepted to be a member of the DevForum after a while!

1. How did you find Roblox?
I’m not to sure how I originally stumbled across Roblox but I joined around 2013 on an old account and have been playing ever since.
2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I think my first ever time I wanted to try developing was when I had a dream of owning my own successful Roblox group. So I joined a small group looking for a developer and I worked up from there. (Bearing in mind, I did just use free models back then so I think it was cheeky of me to call my self a developer).
3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
I have recently started my own school group and I am hoping that this can be my first main project that becomes successful. This will also be my first independent developing project using completely my own building at all time and I am learning everyday!
4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
A am I builder! I am currently trying to learn to programme but I am really struggling with it but hopefully with a bit of practise I will be able to improve.
5. Anything else you would like to include
I am just glad to be finally here able to make my own posts and this is my next step in my developing project.

Yo.

1. How did i find Roblox?
Uh, i don’t really remember, just randomly bumped into it long time ago…

2. How did i get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Roblox is one of my most used platforms/games on the internet so i tried developing games here when there wasn’t any new games to play i guess…

3. Current goals?
I’m trying to make an openworld mmo rpg game right now… Sounds really hard for solo developer but i think as long as i put time and efforts into it, it should be all good… i hope

4. What is your role in the developer community?
I’m mostly programmer but i really can do most of the stuff like UI design and building myself.

5. Anything else?
Uh, idk… My game that i’m working on right now is called skeleton lineage, i hope if someone reading this in the future my game will be popular by that time…

Hi all! I am FlyingKiyan - or more formally known as Kiyan - and I am an aspiring game developer/software developer, who is currently studying A Levels in Computer Science, Maths, Further Maths and Physics. I first found Roblox back in early 2016, through an advertisement on a website. I really didn’t think much of the platform, and it took me at least a good 4 months to realise that you could actually make your own games; I thought the games that I had played were made by the admins at Roblox. From that point forward, I have made an abundance of projects that have improved with time and practice, however nothing much has come from any of the projects. They have all been either minor game mechanics or an overwhelming idea for a game that never came to fruition.

My current goals on the platform, are to produce an actual full game that involves the procedural terrain generation mechanic I have been working on for the last few months. I don’t know what that will result in, but hopefully something great :slight_smile: Overall, I would like to have made some sort of impact on the Roblox platform and create a selection of games that people will enjoy!

The most categorical role that I fit into within the community, would be a programmer. Technically, I can do pretty much any role, but the one that I am the most proficient in is most certainly being a programmer. Since my future career is most likely going to revolve around programming, it would make sense to build upon this, on this platform.

Hopefully you will all see a bit more of me in the future, and thank you for listening to my TedTalk.

Hello! I just got member status and I want to introduce my self.

My name is CrackedRevenge but would like to be known as Broken because that’s what I’m called in my group/discord. I found Roblox a LONG time ago. (2014) but then roblox was banned from my country long story short it was unbanned on 2019 and started fresh again, What got me into to building was animation and that creativity that I have learned really inspired me to do building! I am still learning new things and I hope the devforum will be able to help me. My main goals are to get money and that’s basically it! If you didn’t already guested I am a builder! I am also learning how to do music, animate and art! I would love to join this community of people who can really do their job like a pro! That’s all I got to say! :heart::innocent:

And it was banned because my country thought that the game was showing nsfw stuff cuz of peoples not wearing shirt and stuff like that long story

I think I found Roblox thought recommended YouTube videos

Thought I could make some easy Robux off of it so I did not need to buy as much (for some context I am a youtube/stream and I want to play games on private servers so only fans of mine can join and most private servers cost money.)

My goal is to build a big game then learn scripting and animation.

I am a builder

Hello, I’m IJ4l1f3 and I’ve been playing Roblox since 2016!

Currently my goal on Roblox is similar to almost everyone else’s, create a great game, lol. I’m a builder at the moment but hope to grow my knowledge and learn scripting.

I’m grateful to be a member here and hope to contribute to this community!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say hi as I have just been promoted to a member of the Roblox DevForum.

I’m currently working on a survival game with a friend of mine. The modeling is left to my friend and I mostly do the scripting. The Forum has been a great help so far for building the game to what we have now and hope to continue using it as it is a great resource. I would also be happy to help others as I have built up some experience now.

Hey I just got promoted after lurking here for a while!
I found roblox way back in the days of 2016 from my friends. Eventually I started messing around in studio, creating a graveyard of abandoned, low effort games over the years.
Currently im helping my friend develop the map for his driving game. When im not helping him, I like modeling houses based off photos I’ve seen.
Im glad I can be part of the community c:

Hey! Im Liquid, joined roblox in 2017 experienced with other communitys like trading and clothing making but now decieded to get into development.

Hoping to, one day, be that someone who inspires others to build and get better at it.
Best regards.

Hello! It’s an honor to be accepted into the forum. Let me provide a small introduction.

I’m GAMERGIRL_8234 (I’m definetly not a fan of my username, but I don’t have any robux to change it.) I’ve been playing ROBLOX for about 4 years, so I’m not necessarily an OG. I recently got into developing, and have been learning to script. I’m also learning to build but my main focus at the moment is scripting. I am excited to develop and progress my skills to make a fully functioning game.

Side note: I’ll probably be creating another ROBLOX account some time soon because I can’t take this cringy username.

Why hello there fellow Robloxians. As I write this I am choosing to procrastinate and delay my homework. To be honest, I literally just got accepted an hour ago.

Back in 2015, before I moved, this group of kids invited me into their group, which had a bad word and good word name. The good word name was Roblox Ninjas. I thought Roblox was a cool, generic name. That is why I called my first YouTube Channel Roblox Gaming (has since been renamed, don’t bother searching it up). Then my dad explained what Roblox was, emphasis on Game development, so in 2016, I played it as a guest, playing a few games, and fooling around with the baseplate and game kits. In 2017, I made a few accounts and started playing. 2017, 2018, 2019, I never really developed anything on Roblox. In 2020, Covid hit, and I took developing more seriously. During this time, I am learning Grease Pencil on Blender, and am proficient in OBS and Video Editing, that way, I can animate, which I what I am doing. While I do script and have made a Discord Bot and an obby, I enjoy animating more. Right now, I am working on an animated movie, which is an action movie, with an emphasis on martial arts.
