I actually found ROBLOX through a friend of mine that was playing it, we had a sleepover at his house and he showed me it, we had a great time and I’ve been hitched ever since!

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I was apart of a roleplaying group with a well-scripted game, I was good friends with the Owner of the group and he was the only developer that worked on the game, I begun looking into programming because it sounded interesting and he helped me, this friend was Vikingboy, if he’s reading this, Thanks man!

The only goal I have on this platform is to learn and make friends, and to create things that others will enjoy for a long time.

Hello everyone! My name is Microsorex.

I found ROBLOX in 2010 when my brother told me about it. He had signed up about 4 months prior to me signing up.

I got started when I decided to play around with the toolbox in Studio in 2014. I eventually wanted to move onto working onto actual games without using the toolbox, so I began to practice scripting and building. ROBLOX has inspired me to learn more languages, such as Ruby.

I want to become a developer who can appease people without being too arrogant or seeming like I just develop for the soul purpose of money.

I’d say I’m a programmer. Not a great one, but I’m decent.

Thank you for accepting me!

#1711

Hello.

How did you find Roblox?
Sometime in 2012, I found Roblox through the advertisements on other game sites. I played Pirate Wars 2, and then I made an account.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
As a child, I was interested in coding and programming. After experimenting with other languages, I slowly delved into studio. It just grew on me from there.

Current goals/achievements on the platform
My current goal is to make a game on my own. So far, so good.

What is your role in the developer community?
Programmer, Modeler, Artist

I wish to express my thanks for acceptance into the development forums.

Hey! I’m AbiZinho! I am an aspiring developer (consider me a programmer) who has learned a lot, but is willing to dive deeper into the sea of imagination!

How did you find Roblox?

I found Roblox through a cousin of mines, and we just played for fun. I was always amazed at what people were capable of doing, and instead of actually playing, I was marveling at how incredible some games were, whether if it was the UI, Physics, or the Engineering aspect of the games.

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

One of my friends had introduced me to Roblox Studio. At first, I was really interested in making things work and experimenting with features to interpret different concepts and functions. After a while, I started making my own games just to show to friends and test out my new found knowledge. You can say I really enjoyed making things run in a way that can’t be done manually.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

  1. Become a “Member” in the Roblox Developer Forums
  2. Use Developer Exchange at least once
  3. Make it to the Front Page and stay there for at least 18-24 hrs
  4. Make a game entirely on my own, and sponsor it
  5. Reach 100 Million visits in a single game

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

I am a programmer, with several years of experience in RLua, JS, Html and CSS, Python, and more. I am also a mediocre UI Designer. So, if you need a programmer or UIDesigner, you know who to message! :wink:

Anything else you would like to include

I also have discord in case anyone wants to DM me for information of any kind (@AbiZinho#0001). I’m really excited to be a part of this community, and I hope I meet new people, learn new things, assist others who may need help, and make out to be a useful member in the Developer Forums. Have a great day, and thank you for promoting me to New Member! :grin:

Hello, my name is Zaldy, AKA iNaurto04. I used to be a developer, and I rarely play games and I rarely animate things on Roblox stop motion.

How do you find Roblox?
As of 2011, I found an old Roblox logo icon from desktop. I tried to upgrading Roblox, and then I’m bored. So I close it. After weeks, I upgraded Roblox, back in 2011. Once I saw a site, I heard a commercial, and the sounds went loud, when I was a kid, due to headsets are loud.

As of 2012, I was going to computer shop on Philippines, I saw a person playing Sandbox on Roblox with random account. I played castle template thing, and it’s so fun. Also, I played Canoe without a paddle with nameless account.

As of 2013, my friend Louie wants me to play Roblox with his account named ‘iNaruto04’, instead of ‘iNaurto04’. I played some memory games from the past like traps, temple run games, and all of memories. After I’m done with account, I played Natural Disaster Survival, and Zeppelin Battle as a guests. Also, I created random accounts, and I’m done with that. So I created iNaurto04. I remember playing older games. It was my childhood. Also, I don’t remember my actual first account, since I got the Hot Wheels spinning top gear, and Love Pink shirt.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
So, I was messing around with free models and doing some stuffs on it. I used to be apart from closing logo group, making Teletoon logo and old Cartoon Network logo, despite it’s a fair use to do that. On February 2018, I decided to make my own models, instead of just doing that. I also make a temple with lots of parts. I.e, I rarely built things and I also rarely animate stuffs, of course.

Current goals/achievements on the platform
I had no goals, unless I was interested on that, and I’m becoming member soon just to post memes or something like that.

What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
Modeler (Sometimes I built, sometimes I don’t)

Soon, I’m becoming apart from Roblox Developer Fourm community. Thank you for accepting me for promoting to New Member. I hope we’ll be happy about my experience.

Hello, I am new here and thought I should make a little introduction.

I mostly do a lot of scripting, but am getting better at building as well. I am really happy to be here. :smile:

That happened to me too

#1721

How did you find Roblox?
Glad you asked! The most unusual and unlikely place, Newgrounds! Unusual because it was the first advertisement I ever followed through on.
How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Roblox was and still is a platform where anyone can create anything. And I wanted to do that! For the first few years I created simple places with no objectives that I treated as a virtual home.
What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
Professionally, I am a software developer, Roblox is my hobby! Within this hobby I do scripting (mostly), building, and user experience design (not always ui).
Current goals/achievements on the platform
Make an infinite furniture store!
Anything else you would like to include
I guess I need to take back my criticism about this forum being too elitist! I was invited for actively using the forum. Appreciate that!

Hi! I’m excited to finally be part of the dev forum!

  • How did you find Roblox?
    Well I first joined Roblox in 2008 and heard it was like a hub for lots of games made by its community members. I loved the idea and freedom of the game environment.

  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    After I first joined Roblox, I started playing some games that people had made. I originally got very curious about how a few particular games were created and I obtained a deep desire to learn. I was still young at the time, but learning the fundamentals of how things worked intrigued me. I tried making some scripts and would spend months just trying to teach myself basic things. In time I decided I wanted to make my own game and even now I’m still learning new stuff all the time.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Well my current best achievement is that I’ve built up and designed my own game almost entirely by myself. I plan, build, and program everything I need. I don’t have a development team helping to push out updates or features, but I have a clear focus on the idea I have for my work. My current goal is to start another independent development on another game.

  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I’ve had to implement a wide range of capabilities to independently develop my own game. Most of my time is spent programming, and I find it’s the most enjoyable part of my experience. Coming up with an idea, or being given a suggestion, and then theorizing how to make a foundation or system for it and then creating the network of possibilities that it follows with. It’s exciting and programming has always been a big part of my life.

  • Anything else you would like to include
    I’m happy to be included in this community where I may give feedback or help other aspiring developers. I spend most of my time listening to bug reports, making updates, going through my own community feedback, and learning along the way. It’s a lot of work, but it makes me happy. :smile:

Hello everyone! I just got invited to the Dev Forums, And I am very excited to be able to talk to you all! :smile:

-How did you find Roblox?

I am not very sure how I found ROBLOX, I believe i was surfing through the wonders of YouTube in 2012 and found several videos about it, and decided to make an account. Unfortunately, I believe my computer couldn’t support ROBLOX back then.

But in 2014, I found out that ROBLOX is on mobile. so I figured, “Hey, I guess I can give this a shot!” so here I am. Playing the many wonders of ROBLOX, and meeting new friends.

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

I got started building on ROBLOX around mid 2015. I started figuring out how slowly ROBLOX studio worked! I like to build occasionally.

-Current goals/achievements on the platform

-My current goals/achievements on the platform is… Well, I am not exactly sure yet! I still have lots to accomplish and learn! :slight_smile:

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

My role in the Developer Community is to be an Artist. I love to draw, I draw quite frequently! And I hope to improve my art and become more knowledgeable about developing.

-Anything else you would like to include

I hope to be able to make friends here, and learn from you all! :happy1:

Hi, my name is ChilledCW. I joined Roblox in 2014, however I have known Roblox since 2012. I started building in Roblox studio about 3 years ago, making very simple weapons. Over these 3 years I have self taught myself how to build and use studio to its potential. I aim to make a successful game on the Roblox platform and perhaps even establishing a group. Maybe when I have time, I could learn a bit of programming. I think that is all about me :smiley: ! I’m really happy to be apart of the forums :slight_smile:

First off: hi, I’m jebjordan. Happy to finally be on here and able to at least reply to things. (Hopefully I can make it to Members eventually, so I can be a part of the full community.)

  • How did you find Roblox?
    Not sure… but I think it was something along the lines of seeing an advertisement way back in 2009/2010 or so?

  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I started by… well, playing Script Builders and editing scripts, then eventually making my own, as well as playing around in studio.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Uh, not much. I make a bunch of modules that won’t be used yet, but should someday be helpful to some people hopefully.

  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I’m a programmer mostly. Not the greatest with frontend (ui / gfx / building)

  • Anything else you would like to include
    I like gaming and coding, and my sense of humour is pretty hard to explain or understand.
    I’m from Canada and I try to be nice to people, as much as I can of course.
