Hello everyone, I’m Staffy97. I originally joined ROBLOX on May 21st 2017 and my original account was DinAdam. But unfortunately it got Password guessed! Now Staffy97 is my main account! Nowadays, I make good horror games, etc. Well I did played ROBLOX in late 2016, but I played as a guest at the time. Now finally, let me tell you how I found ROBLOX. Well I found ROBLOX on YouTube, when I was watching DanTDM at the time. Another reason I found ROBLOX, is because I seen the ROBLOX advertisement, right after watching a random YouTube video.

So that’s my story of how I found ROBLOX and been playing it for 5 years!

Hey guys! I was given member back on May 21 and I just realize this message just now (better late than never). To start, I’m Dragonfable6000.

1. How did you find Roblox?
I found a cool advertisement back in 2013 of this cool blocky game, looking kind of like Lego in a way (my favorite toy).

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I was with a group of friends messing around with a free model admin command where I notice I could give myself an f3x building tool. I would build for fun and have my friends play around with my build which led me to continue using the tools that Roblox has provided me to use.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
I wanted to have a game that is original and unique and hopefully have many players and build a community based on the games that I create. For now, I am making games that aren’t so much unique… but using these games as a lesson for me to build my foundation in scripting.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I am primarily a programmer and secondary as a builder.

5. Anything else you would like to include
If anything, I would like to stand out as someone who likes to learn and help others with what I have learned through other’s work :smiley:

Hello!
I’m Shung Jung and I have played ROBLOX for at least 2 years now. I started programming since I was 10 and was not so interested in making ROBLOX games back then until I got curious and tried it out for myself. It has at least been 1 year of me scripting my games in roblox, however I’m still not that good as I thought I would be haha. I am happy to be a member of the forums as I can get help from the community more easily and have more fun!

Hi, I’m WayCoolPlayer, or way for short.
I didn’t find this thread for a bit so I already have 10 posts but oh well.

  • How did you find Roblox?

First played it with an irl friend.

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

Found out I could make my own games and went to do that.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform

Want to build a game for robux at the moment. Also seems cool to have a community in a game of mine. I currently have like 800 total place visits.

  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)

As a solo dev without much robux, all of them, though I think I’m best at scripting.

Hey everyone! I’m Romi but I often go by Derp on Roblox. Last year, I started learning how to become a developer but stopped to pursue other things for a bit. I just found out about this thread and thought it would be a great way to start my return.

1. How did you find Roblox?
I found Roblox through an old classmate back in 2016. The dude single-handedly got like half the class hooked on it, including me.

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I started development near the end of 2020 when I got the idea for a knife-fight game with platformer movement. I just took a bunch of free assets and copy-pasted a bunch of code from tutorials. It was overly ambitious but I somehow made something like I imagined. The game was really buggy when I tested it out with a friend but that just made it more enjoyable.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
Other than the “game” I made, I don’t have many achievements yet. However, it’s my goal to meet and collaborate with other devs as well as improving in skills I’m genuinely interested in.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
My role in the community is an animator, but I do plan on becoming a music producer in the near future. I’ll probably try other roles but these are the ones I’m most confident in.

5. Anything else you would like to include
If you’ve taken the time to read this, thank you! I hope to be a friendly, helpful member to this community.

This is very late but Hello!

Im spydercam500! Most people call me spy/spyder so feel free to call me that!

I found roblox back in early 2017 the only thing I can really remember of how I found it is from a DanTdm video about natural disasters!

I started development in around 2019 I think I cant exactly remember but its around there! I started off using places that were un-copylocked I stopped using those though and stopped developing all together it was only a year later in august when I started looking at tutorials on how to make Low poly terrain in roblox without blender then somewhere around that I tried out blender and it was my favorite development thing to do right next to building!

My current goals are finishing a game im making with friends, trying to get into UGC, learning LUA, and just learning a bunch of development things in general!

Right now im a modeler a builder and a beginner GFX artist!

I hope anyone who sees this post is having a great day!

Happy Developing!

If you would like to contact me, either shoot me a message on the DevForum or DM me on Discord at Bluegenic#9946. :cool:

Thanks for reading, see you soon! :happy3:

Hey there, name’s noliver - do not ask why… Anyways, I like creating interesting Roblox games and experimenting with ideas to create another interesting Roblox game.
I have been on Roblox since 2015, but back then I didn’t really make games - well I did but without any scripts I made.
Now I’m more experienced in scripting and I came back to unleash my experience.
My coding is not only limited to Lua, but also Java, JS and kind of C++.
See you soon - when you see me! :sunglasses:

Hello, my name is Bean and I’m new to the forums. I started playing the Roblox mobile app in 2017 with my friends and just to have some fun when I was bored. In 2018 I discovered the gymnastics community in Roblox and after a while I was inspired enough to try make my own gymnastics game. Although this game wasn’t very good, I still had lot’s of fun with it and haven’t stopped building since. Now that I am apart of the Roblox dev forums I hope to use this platform to learn, improve my building and share my thoughts and ideas with others.

Hello I am Aydxn and I have been playing roblox for about 3 years.

I found roblox because of some people in my school. After I just continued playing and socializing on the platform.

I was feeling bored and like anyone I tried to entertain myself. So I started making games. The games I usually made were full of free models. From there I branched off starting to try scripting and making bigger projects.

I’m looking to get better and better at developing so eventually my games could actually be fun to play.

My role is a builder, but I still can do all scripting, UI design, and a little GFX. Personally I think I am pretty good at all.

I am currently working on a cafe game called The Dark Cafe (BETA) - Roblox. I am also really like hockey.

I’ve been on the DevForum for a while, but I’ve never really introduced myself here for some reason. I’ll just do it now.


About Me

Hello everyone! My online nickname is Valiant, but I go by Val. I’m a 16 year old high schooler, and I plan to become a programmer when I grow up.

I’ve been a Roblox developer since near the end of 2020, but I joined the DevForum in August of 2021.

I joined Roblox in November of 2016.

My main skill in Roblox Development is Scripting.

I joined the DevForum with the intention of improving my skills and making new friends. I’ve more than successful in that matter. I wouldn’t be as skilled as I have been today without the developer community. They’ve helped me so much.

Why I became a Roblox Developer

I never really thought about developing on Roblox until I came across the HD Admin Module, made by @ForeverHD.

Let me just say, that when I looked at the code, inside the module, I thought inside my head, this is possible? I was flabbergasted when I saw the vast amount of code inside the module, and was stunned how well it worked.

After looking through HD Admin, I looked at the rest of the modules that @ForeverHD made. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

@ForeverHD inspired me to become what I am now.

Without him, I wouldn’t be a scripter, let alone a Roblox Developer in the first place.

Since then, he’s always been my role model.


To me, its stunning to see how much I’ve grown ever since I started in late 2020.

My first ever script, was me attempting to make an HD Admin Command.

As expected, I failed. I knew that I was far from having enough experience to make a command on my own.

My next attempt to become experienced in developing was to find models in the Toolbox, look at the code, and learn from them.

By the way, I had no idea about the stigma of using free models about the time until I read this thread in the DevForum.

I stuck with that method all the way until I joined the DevForum. From then on I learned from all the amazing tutorials and resources that all the devs made for the community.

I also never knew how little I knew about Roblox Development in general until I joined the DevForum.

Before long, I fixed most of the bad scripting practices I had and improved better than I have ever before.

I made friends, got a part-time scripting, job and even met @ForeverHD a few months ago (Literally the best day of my life).

Here’s a little idea of how much I’ve improved:

When I started: Learning from free models in the toolbox, unaware of the existence of backdoors.

Now: I can script models on my own. I have roblox developer friends. I’ve met my role model.

And most importantly of all: I finally found people that I can relate to. I finally found a community that likes the same thing that I like. And I couldn’t be more thankful of that. Its something I’ve been looking for all my life.

Hello Everyone.
I am IamNewToRiblix. I Joined in late 2015. This isnt my first account infact i played as a guest till in 2017 they removed that option. I have created many accounts since then and this one is specifically for development.I Started doin development from small basic and scratch.
Then I saw create tab and out of curiosity opened and was greeted by a Roblox Icon Cut in Half and It was Blue. Then I came to know how these games actually work.then i opened it up and then Created a BasePlate. Then I started moving stuff around and all that beginner stuff and then found out about tool box and play testing. I got the most Poppin Thing at that time. Admin Scripts or Specifically HD Admin.then i never looked back and im here.

  1. I have been playing Roblox over a year.

  2. I told myself along time ago that it would be cool to develop I’m a scripter and make GUIs.

  3. I have made many games in the past with another account of mine I still have but my one main game is “The ultimate admin”.

  4. I have been working for a long time to be in the devforum and my current role is “programmer”.

  5. That would be all as I have been developing for awhile now and I’m so happy I’m in the forum so that’s all!
