Introduction thread for new forum members

Hello, I’m Spirit!

1. How did you find Roblox?
I actually found Roblox through videos on Youtube. One day I just decided that I wanted to try it, so I did, and it’s stuck with me ever since!

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Starting my development journey started out of curiosity, and I started at a pretty young age. I was already getting into computer programming at the time, and what you could do with it, so I just decided to try it out with Roblox. Most of the time, I would use youtube tutorials and stuff like that at the time, which is a habit that I’m absolutely happy to have dropped!

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
My main goal right now is to release my first game. I’m currently in the process of doing so.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
Mainly programming, but I do pretty much everything from time to time.

5. Anything else you would like to include
Not really anything else to say!

Hey guys, I’m Pixel. :wave:

How did you find Roblox?
Me being the tech nerd I am, went to an AT&T store to play on their phones and admire the specs they had that I would probably never experience (which I did), so I saw that there was a game called Roblox, thought it sounded goofy, played it, and oh boy, led to here I am now.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I just was bored and felt like doing something with my time lol

Current goals/achievements on the platform
I’m trying to make a game with similar mechanics as GTA 5.

What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I’m a programmer.

Anything else you would like to include
I’m really cool I guess.

1. How did you find Roblox?
When I was younger I came across Roblox on Microsoft store, thought I’d give it a try. I was amazed about the creativity on this platform so I decided to stay and continue playing!

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I started “developing” at a young age, it was me just placing random models in the pre-made Roblox maps then I slowly started shifting towards Building which is what I am mainly doing now. I’m mainly into military style but I can do other styles as well. :military_helmet:

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
My main goal on this platform is to bring one of the most realistic, diverse and unique Romania ro-nation to Roblox. Combining the Armed Forces, Police Forces and Public Services into one big group with 8 counties to be made.

4. What is your role in the developer community?
I’m mainly a Builder but I know some stuff about UI as well.

5. Anything else you would like to include
This platform helps me to imagine new things, communicate with people all around the globe and express my imagination with others.

Well that is all :wave:. I’ll leave some photos of my current project below.

Greetings!!

Before I start with my introduction I want to mention that I’m honored to be officially a part of the Developer Formus on Roblox platform.
I’m felipe2008si but you can just call me “Felipe” for short.
I was introduced to Roblox by my cousin when I was 8 years of age in late 2016.I officially joined on 11/4/2017 when I was staying at my cousin’s although I was already playing Roblox on his account before I created mine.

I started my developing journey years ago although i quickly quit since i was very young at the time, then in the summer of 2022 I got interested in Development again but I quickly quit since I was very lost in Roblox Studio.But in late February I got somehow interested in Development again but I was again lost and all I wanted is to make some quick Robux but now i came to the realization that you SHOULD NOT do that as a way to make some money but rather as a hobby/enjoyment(anyways back to the topic).At first I wanted to become a Clothing /GFX Designer but then I discovered my passion for 3D modeling so I started watching tutorials about Blender.After watching and getting some sort of basic knowledge about Blender shortcuts I started modelling in Blender around early March.
(I started with the Donut Tutorial by Blender Guru which is in my opinion THE BEST tutorial for Blender beginners).

My goals for the future is to improve in modelling and maybe someday become professional UGC modeler but for now all I want to do is to spend all of my free time modelling ideas that come to my head.

My role in the developer community right now would be Modeler but i do GFX/Clothing design but I’m always looking to expend my knowledge into other areas of development.

To be honest nothing really to add, but I really want to become a profession 3D modeler that does modelling for a hobby rather than for money.

Summary

PS. If you read my reply till the very end I really do appreciate and have a nice day.
Anyways if you see this hit me with a DM and I might do models that you require for completely free of charge and again thanks for reading.

Sincerely
Felipe

Hello Developer Forum.

I found Roblox through word of mouth hype, I dismissed it initially but started to get into it more after finding some higher quality games and realising the potential of Studio to actually build my own.

I had been designing board/card games as a hobby for years, but it never took off (prototyping, production, marketing, selling… not cheap). So everything stayed on the drawing board but then I thought the Roblox platform would be a much better and cheaper alternative.

So along with extending my coding skills with Lua/Luau, my current aim is to learn how to transform some of my old paper-based designs into digital ones, seeing what works and doesn’t and how much of my archive I could convert. Then publish it. Obviously.

I am primarily a programmer, but as a solo-dev do everything to some degree (but thank you marketplace creators!).

Wsg I’m Jason, a Builder on Roblox. I found Roblox around 2013 when my cousins were playing it on the PC, so when I saw them playing it I went home and downloaded it on the slow ahh Windows 7 laptop our family had.

From here on out I started making games on Roblox Studio that were using free models, but I started to move away from that and improved/gained more creativity as I went on in my own original ideas.

My goals for the platform is to make games for everybody to enjoy, and get dat bread. :bread::money_mouth_face:

Hi everyone! My name is Michael, and I’ve been on Roblox since 2012. I remember first playing it on a old Compaq all-in-one desktop pc, and it ran like crap :weary:. Ever since then I have thoroughly enjoyed myself on this platform. I’ve been kind of hit and miss with making games, working a little bit on it here and there. I usually can never get anything off the drawing board, so I hope I will be able to at least make a bit of profit off a game in the future. I mainly registered here because I was looking for support and would like to help contribute to the development of the platform by posting bugs and such. I am mainly a scripter, but I am open to learning other types of development. Also if anyone is having trouble getting to member status, this video helped me as it would have taken months had I not known this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0S4NAzqiOo. Thanks and I look forward to helping the community!

Hello! I’m KireiKage, a beginner to Roblox Studio who is constantly trying to learn more about it. Currently trying to learn stuff past the basics of scripting, which has been pretty hard to learn :sweat_smile:

Format:

  1. I assume through my brother a while ago
  2. I have been messing with it for a few years, but it’s never been anything until some time after 2020, when I started putting time into learning the basics of the platform. Currently, I am working on learning pieces of making games; some examples I have done are some datastores, checkpoints, leaderstats and values, property changes, instances, and I am currently working on events!
  3. My goals are to learn as much as I can, especially with scripting. I am hoping to use whatever skills I can gather in the future for a career path in that field.
  4. I currently have no “role” per se, but rather I just gather different styles depending on the time, and as stated earlier, I’m currently (and will probably continue to mainly) learning scripting. I hope to be able to use scripting on a bigger project in the future, so currently I am just trying to gather some skills.
  5. I also try to use whatever I learned with Lua / Roblox’s scripting in other languages, such as Python, and the other way around, which actually helps a lot with understanding!

Thanks for reading!

I discovered Roblox in 2017 through YouTube recommendations. Additionally, I’m curious about the occurrence of a backdoor in Roblox around March 2019 that allowed exploiters to obtain gamepasses for free with just a few lines of code. It’s quite amusing to think of that as engineering.

1. How did you find Roblox?
Hello, this may be a late reply, considering I was a active member a couple years ago, but my username is Angermode, and I recently created a account around 2014. It wasn’t until 2017 I started getting more active within the platform. It was mainly my younger brother who roped me back into the platform around 2017. I played a lot of Tower defense games back then, but It kind of slided off when the community faded unfortunately.

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Like I mentioned earlier, it was really tower defense style games that really got me to be engaged with the community. I wanted to leave my mark in these games, so I started to make maps with hopes that they would get accepted.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
It may be a bit late for me to hop on this bandwagon, but I plan on familiarizing myself with the roblox forums and try to be a helpful and active member of the community (to the best of my knowledge)

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I don’t think I really have much of a role here? But I would say I know a little bit about coding / animating / building / 3d modeling.

5. Anything else you would like to include?
I don’t really think I have much to share, but I am planning on trying to enter the UGC program at this time. I am not sure If my application will be accepted, but I will keep trying. Currently familiarizing myself with Blender and its tools.

Hello I’m voermin! It is a genuine pleasure for me to be able to finally be promoted as a member and be an official member of the community!

I had only played Roblox for fun back in 2018 on my Xbox, and when I gained access to a computer, Roblox was a fun gaming platform for me. I had also been a fan of programming and developing my own games, and when I learned that you can script your own games on Roblox, I was exited to try making games!

I then started to learn the LUA coding language using YouTube tutorials so I can learn how to make my own scripts. It took a while to get used to it, but now I can say that I am relatively familiar with the language.

My Goals are to be able to make many great games for Players on the Roblox Platform to enjoy. Games that people will remember and have good memories about.

I am exited for the road ahead and I hope that my time on here can help me excel in my programming and help me advance my 3d modeling.

Thanks for accepting me into the community!

Hello, I’m Kiwimaximus02 and I’ve been using Roblox for many years and cant remember how I found out about it, I only recently decided that I wanted to get involved in the Roblox studio side of things and want to work as a modeler.

I got started with Roblox studio because there when many Items on the Roblox market that I thought looked good (I’m picky) and decided that I wanted to make my own, I have already done modelling for a couple of years now outside of Roblox so I have no problem modelling good assets and now my goal is to become a Roblox UGC member so I can put the stuff I create on the Roblox market.

I quick example of something I made recently would be this Goku hair.
