  • How did you find Roblox? I found ROBLOX due to friend recommendations in 2015.
  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform? I got bored one day and decided to learn how to script in Lua from websites and I self-taught myself a lot.

Hello everyone! I’m Danialhalim680, also known as DanialYT. So excited that I’ve finally made it into the Dev Forum!

  1. I heard Roblox back in August 2017 via my friends, so I decided to give it a try!
  2. Encouragement makes me wanted to build games of my own.
  3. Making a successful game and also meet other top developers!
  4. My current role would be a UI Designer!
  5. I would also like to thank the Roblox team for accepting me as a Dev Forum Member since I can now share my opinions and help other devs. Well, I think that’s it from me. Thank you for listening, stay safe and have a nice day/night! :smiley:

Hello, I’m Gobi. I found Roblox around 4 or 5 years back and I can’t remember how I found Roblox. I started learning how to script and realized it wasn’t my thing.
My current goals are to try to get invited to the RDC next year, and get regular commissions.
As for my role, I am a graphic designer.

Hello, I am Encrypted. I discovered Roblox through a group of friends in 6th grade that introduced me to phantom forces. Since then, I began exploring into Roblox deeper for my own enjoyment. After being able to experience the diverse amount of games splattered across the multiverse, beginning with sci-fi role-play groups all the way to the ancient era and the Napoleonic era, I was amazed at the limits of being able to expand your imagination on the platform.

I began development after having the inspiration to do GFX 2 years ago through the help of youtube tutorials (I also just started modeling too).

My current goals are to reach 1m visits for a new project that Im doing by the end of 2021 and to also to learn new skills in modeling. Thanks for reading!

I do not quite remember how I found Roblox since it was a long time ago, but I believe a friend showed me it.
I started developing because It was fun, I don’t do it for profit. Mainly just a hobby for my free time.
A goal I have on this platform is something I feel like is every developers goal, getting a Bloxy Award.
My role in developing is overall Game Design.
I do developing as a hobby, I like realistic games and fps games on Roblox. You can call me soda
Thanks for allowing me to be apart of the forum.

I found Roblox when I was like 6 since then I’ve been learning the possibilities of Roblox and Roblox Studio.

I think the first time I opened Roblox Studio was when I was like 7 or 8 and I from there my knowledge expanded on Studio and the endless possibilities.

My current goal is to get better at scripting and developing in general.

I would say my role is a Programmer.

I am 14 now and I would say I have a pretty good understanding of how to use and a decent grasp on scripting.

Oh boy, how did I not see this until now? Welp, I’m definitely still new, so here goes.

How I found Roblox

I found Roblox quite a while ago; early 2015. Basically, my little MacBook Air got an update before my previous favourite game, Minecraft, got support for the new OS. During my rare moment of boredom (hadn’t found Steam yet lol), I searched around for something new, and saw a video ad in the corner of my screen. It was fairly basic, but it went something like “John made a fighter jet…Paul made a car…” etc etc. I was hooked on the idea of building functional mechanical things, so I made an account.

How I got started developing with Roblox

After ‘discovering’ the Neighbourhood of Robloxia for a few months, I installed Studio and tried giving development a shot. I quickly got stuck, though, and gave up. Next time, I started an airline and needed airports. I had a friend do most of the building, but I still tried to help. It got me a little more familiar. When I kept trying every so often to make other projects, I got better and better working on little models to be used later on. I eventually quit because Studio kept crashing and running slowly on my laptop. It was poor, but little did I know I had a free model virus from when I tried the very first time to develop. About a year ago, I figured this out, cleared the viruses and got going. I’ve been excitedly working since then. Facepalm of the century, though.

Achievements/my goals

My current goals are to slowly work on my game prototypes (going well so far!), and to avoid spending any Robux whatsoever until I earn some from a game; as motivation to learn the basics of scripting Lua(u?), mainly. I have tons of games that I planned out over the years that I can’t wait to finally be equipped to create. As for achievements in the past tense, I recently made my first proper mesh model (yay!!!). Low-poly in performance but not in looks, I hope.

Current role in the community

Current role in the community? Well, from the badge, mainly a game designer, as I really love that sort of thing. My best/most developed (heheh) ‘hard’ skill is probably building. I’m fairly decent at that to my standards, and I like mid-poly yet realistic styles best. Next is likely GFX. I’m here to have fun learning to be a developer.

That’s all! Thanks everyone. Have a great day.

Hello! My name is TheDemogorgon_RBLX

I’ve been playing Roblox since 2010 but started the current account I have now back in 2016.
Ever since I started meeting other Developers I just felt like maybe I could be extrordinary too, So I set out on a Journey with my Partner Swiffted and I discovered so many amazing people and things.

Lots of people had a Talent for Developing. I’ll be the one to say I had no hope in the Start. Till I met my Partner which really motivated me to better myself for this Platform.

I hope to get to know many of you amazing People! Have an Amazing day. :grin:

I was really young, discovered it on YouTube in 2009 or something like that.
I got started because a friend was a developer and I wanted to try it out, currently I’m learning blender and I’m getting good at it, doesn’t mean I don’t build good as I’ve used Studio for the past 3 - 4 years so I’m just getting around to learning about geometry.

Modeling, UI Design, Artist, Animation (Learning still), Map Design, I’m really just filling it roles at this point, feel free to shoot me a message if you need something done.

Well I have nothing much more to say, so I’ll just include some images of what I’ve worked on and or current projects.

  1. I found ROBLOX 6 years ago because I browsed on my phone when I was a child. I found ROBLOX on the app store and the first thing I played was “FNAF Tycoon”. Yes, FNAF Tycoon…

  2. Having the dreams of becoming a developer was such a big inspirational thing for me. I always wanted to be one and now I’m here, striving to develop.

  3. I have no current goals/achievements as I’ve pretty much had no plans for any project. If I were to make a game I’d probably make a DarkRP game.

  4. Alright, this sounds crazy but real. I’m actually a really enhanced contriver so that means I’m able to do everything that has been listed up. (GFX, UI Designer, Programmer and Builder)

  5. No :slight_smile: .

Hello! Name’s randomboy327, but I also go by SuperTJ327. I’ve been playing roblox for a few years now. I joined cause one of my friends recommended it to me. At the start, I played to play Roblox; I had zero interest in development on the platform. However, about a year ago, one of my other friends on my Twitch stream had some ideas for a game he wanted to create; and so, I got started learning how to script.

Now after about a year since I’ve started, I’ve learned so much. My friend and I have been working on this very ambitious rpg game that is no where near completion. So far, I’ve developed this such as movement mechanics and an inventory system. It’s been fun; however, some of the development has slowed down. We still discuss ideas now and then, however, I’ve started work on other projects that’ll aid me in learning to script and (generally) create games. Some of these projects will even be used in the rpg game.

Right now, I’m working on another game idea I’ve had. It’s a story-based, multi-genre game with multiple endings. Work on this game has been going slow because of other projects that I can use for the game.

I hope that I can develop my programming skills greatly as I develop on this platform and eventually become one of the greats.

This is my first post on Dev Forums!

:wave: Hello! Hi! Howdy! Hey! Aloha! Greetings! Sup! Nǐ hǎo! Hola! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! Ciao! Hallo! Hej! annyeong hashimnikka! Privet! 'ahlan! Olá! Namaste! Salam alaikum! Hujambo! Dia dhuit! Howzit! G’day! My name is HDMI_123456789, but you can call me and refer to me as HDMI. I joined the Developer Forums on 10/12/21. Currently I play a variety of different games, some including, but not limited to: Jailbreak, Farming and Friends, Aimblox, etc. I hope you enjoy the introduction that I have for you down below.

I found Roblox back in 2017 when my best friend introduced me to the game. I found it very intriguing, so I gave it a try in 2019, and I was hooked.

Sometime in the 4th quarter of 2020, I suddenly wanted to become a developer. The thought was random and I told myself I would give it a try, because why not.

As a developer, I have many goals; some are foolish, while others are not. Some of my goals are very miniscule and some are big important ones. A few of my goals include: Gaining experience with different genres of games (either individually or part of a dev team), being able to program, model, build, great GFX, animate, etc. all on my own, with help from players who are willing to teach me (I am always looking for teachers) and advise/guide me to become a great developer. Another goal which I have for myself is to make a name for myself - in a good way of course. I want to be known for my awesome development skills. I hope that while I am here, I can accomplish my goals.

I briefly mentioned this before answering the third question. Currently, I have no set/permanent role in the developer community. I would like to be everything. I would like to, and I will certainly try, to master all the roles. (If you are interested to teach me, DM me, I would appreciate it) GFX artist, Builder, Modeler, Animator, Programmer, UI Designer, Clothing designer, etc.

There are a few ways you can get in touch with me for whatever reason. It could be that you want to collaborate with me for a game, you might want me to join your dev team, you might want to ask me for help for something, you might just want to chat, I am ok with all of those reasons. You can DM me via Discord at CLife007#2525 or you can Roblox message me if you don’t feel comfortable DMing me. If I don’t answer your message within 72 hours, you can try again.

It is an honor to be accepted as a member of Dev Forms and to be a part of this wonderful developer community. Thank you for your time and support. Have a great rest of your day!

Hey! My Roblox username is gaelzq. I go by Gael.
I discovered Roblox in the summer of 2015, when my friend called me on Skype and told me to check this game he found. I created my account and was introduced to the games page, the most popular was Survive The Disasters with around 5k players at the time. That’s the first Roblox game I played.
I started development when my friend told me he wanted to develop his own game.
My current goal is to learn scripting and programming to be able to get a decent programming job.
I currently only know the basics for scripting. Not too much.
I hope I can become a good scripter in the future. I’m not really looking to be succesful.

Hello! My name is youplayer7 But most people call me Flinter

I found Roblox when i was looking for some new games when i was 13. At first i was just playing casual games and enjoyed till i reach 16.

After playing in Roblox for 3 years, i became curious in how these games are made. So like any other kid, i opened Roblox Studio and had a blast making fun projects and funny things.

Now, after 2 years of Scripting , my goal is to make the best fun moments for everyone to enjoy with their friends and have a laugh.

I love Programming, ever since i was a kid, i was in love with python and lua. So like that, im mainly a Good Programmer and a okay game designer.

I am currently studying Biotechnology but whenever i find spare time, i either have a blast with my friends or make fun projects with my equally talented buddies.

Kia Ora, I am Flymms. It is good to finally be in here after trying for what feels like a tremendously long time.

I found Roblox through a friend back in 2015. I have always tried to make things in various places and games, but nothing really decent yet. I am working on a game called “Eiye” which is inspired by Eg!, as well as another called “Noob Has Noob”, but they aren’t really going too well. I am primarily a 3D modeler and builder, but I do some basic code when I really need it.

Thank you for reading - hopefully in the future I will have something decent to share, but for now this is it.
