Introduction thread for new forum members

Found Roblox through the IOS app store during my childhood. Fascinated by the games on Roblox and looked up towards my friend, Intergravitation, which started the whole learning experience for me. Creating my first game with possibly unique or innovative ideas while breaking the limitations of Lua. Starting out as a learner, I would like to see myself as a programmer for the developer community.

Hi everyone! I am AwesomeAiden_8 but more commonly known as BluTofu.

I found roblox back in 2015 or so when I was searching for new games on the app store. I was a guest until 2017 when I made my first account. Remember the old 2016 guests? Thatā€™s what I was for a while.

I started on my ancient all in one desktop by fooling around with free models in 2018. In summer of 2020, I started learning to script and became a bit more serious with roblox development.

My goal is to develop a unique game that brings joy to many players on the platform and to inspire others to try making the platform more unique. Even after a year of scripting, that is still a dream. In terms of achievements, I donā€™t have many yet. Keyword: YET. I have made a basic sword fighting game, but I made it when I was still first learning to script and it isnā€™t very good.

My role is scripting, because programming has always been a hobby of mine. I am trying to get into building a bit more though because its good to have more than one skill.

I am so excited to work with all of you! Thank you for reading!

I found roblox in 2010 through a friend, the first game I played was some default roblox place. I started development through dumb animations I tried doing, eventually I did a few in games. My goal is to create a successful horror game, while being refreshing and introducing some original aspects to the platform. My role is mostly game designer/animator, I have always been terrible at programming and only below average for building. I am John Roblox.

Heyoo! Just got upgraded to member on the forums and came here!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    This was a long time ago, around 2013 I belive I saw the game on an ad and thought it looked amazing, only recently have I started working with roblox studio and development.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    When im older I want to be a developer for some sort of large game studio. I think roblox will start me with the basics like understanding how to work with a team, understanding basic code, how programs run, etc.

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    My goal is the create a game that gets at least 50+ players active. Maybe a group with a bunch of members and some type of community.

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I think im better at programming than anything else but I have gone a bit into learning blender and ive made some assets im using for some test games that im proud of!

  5. Anything else you would like to include
    Nope! :slight_smile:

Hello! This introduction is 4 months late, but Iā€™m going to write one anyway.

I found roblox back in 2013 through a friend and thought that the tycoon games were really cool. My first ā€œdevelopmentā€ was adding a roblox audio into my game with a simple ā€œgame.Workspace.Sound:Play()ā€ and I thought I was a pro for doing that lmao. My goal as of right now is to be able to code a functioning game entirely on my own. Currently, my role is a programmer, but Iā€™d like to expand to more roles in the future.

Hello, Iā€™m Stea_my, my main skill is Progamming, which I am fairly good at.

I found Roblox from an old ad back in 2015, and I started developing in 2016, I wasnā€™t good at it but it was very fun to just create and have fun.
I started when I figured out Roblox studio existed, and started messing around, I didnā€™t know anything on how it actually worked so I just spammed free models into my games.
My current goal is to finish a game Iā€™m working on to the way I want it.
Thatā€™s about it, and its been very fun making games, just hope people have fun playing 'em!

Hello, my name is Bamza2012.
I found ROBLOX by playing flash games and seeing ads back then. Iā€™ve started developing in 2013 by using free models and creating places for groups. My current goal is to mess around with features and create a game or model that I am satisfied with. Iā€™m currently a builder but I understand basic programming and can create great UIā€™s. Just wanted to add in that the developer community is AMAZING!

Hi, Iā€™m Moon! Glad to be accepted into the forums as a member!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    Heard about it from social media and decided to check it out back in 2019, been here ever since then messing around.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    Started by looking up tutorials, used the devforum for my questions and issues, and got help from other fellow devs. Itā€™s been about a year of learning and Iā€™ve made great progress!

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I plan to make random silly games/creations and share them with the Roblox community, and in the future hopefully open source those games so people who are beginning to learn how to develop could use my projects to start off. :grinning:

  4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    Iā€™d say I learn more of being a Programmer, but I am trying to become a Builder, Modeler, and more, a jack of all trades somewhat.

  5. Anything else you would like to include?
    I am also learning other coding languages too! Soon I will be a big programmer :smirk_cat:

Hello, Iā€™ve been a Roblox player since 2013, started getting in Roblox dev about a month ago, and I plan on continuing my growth as a programmer and eventually release a game Iā€™ve been thinking about making in about 2 years from now. See you then!

Hi!:wave: my name is Lag_eri (i know it is a weird name). I joined roblox mid 2020ā€¦ there i meet someone who lately become my friend, he was a scammer and have lots of robux. Only then i started wishing having same amount of robux, but it wont come that easily, than i started searching how to get rubux on roblox, so i found out lot of ways to get it and chose creating game, but for that i needed to learn language of Lua, it was harder then i expected and started learning how to create maps and after that i needed a place where i was able to sell them. So here i amā€¦:man_shrugging:

I would be a builder and help others to create games. btw itā€™ll be honor to help big developers :partying_face:

Hello there!

From YouTube sometime <2015, kept making new accounts which makes finding my actual join date a bit difficult! I was very excited to play at first and I ā€œconscriptedā€ some of my friends into making accounts to play with me when I was much younger. Still have good memories of Tradelands and other older games from that.

AlvinBlox and peaspod got me a first taste of scripting. Most of my interest came from making games with my friends that we always dreamed of playing some time. None of these came out as finished products, but it left a good taste in my mouth on developing in the platform which brought me back.

Just completed CKStudio and other documentation. My main goals now are creating projects and systems to learn through project-based-learning and building a portfolio.

Lightly touched building, GFX, and UI, but my main passion is programming/scripting.

Nothing yet, glad to finally be a member and able to participate here.

Hello! I am new to the Devforum and I am glad to officially be a member of it now!

I started playing ROBLOX back in my first years of elementary school. That was 12-13 years ago, haha.
As years went by, I got caught up in the developer aspects of things. I developed for the largest Star Wars group on ROBLOX, making their lightsabers. Thatā€™s where it all began.
I now develop for this new game called ZO恞 [WIP]. Currently under major development, but doing well as it is on ROBLOXā€™s front page! I specialize in making the models/weapons in that game.
Some future goals I have in mind are getting my own personal project started one day and on top of that, getting accepted into UGC.
I am currently pretty fluent in the art of 3D-Modeling and I am going to college later this month for Computer Science.
ROBLOX has been an amazing platform and a big part of my life for almost all my life. I am honored to be a part of it in such a big way.
