Introduction thread for new forum members

Hi my name is Adam, souifuiness on Roblox. I hope I can be a useful addition to the Roblox Developer Forum.

  • How did you find Roblox?
    In Spring 2011, I went over to my friends brothers house and he was playing a game, I asked what it was and he said it was called ‘Roblox’, I decided to start playing and I played as a guest for a few months and ultimately decided on making an account.
  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    Back in 2013-2014 I started out scripting and building using old school tutorials from people like PeasFactory and Friaza. I eventually worked my way up and decided to stop building as I wasn’t particularly good at it and I was a lot more passionate about scripting.
  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I don’t have many achievements or goals on the platform, but I always love to learn from other people and expand my knowledge of the Roblox platform.
  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I am a programmer. I state more about my history of me being a programmer in my answer to how I got started as Roblox developer.
  • Anything else you would like to include
    I hope I can contribute well to this forum and learn a lot from others too from being on this forum, and to whoever may be reading this have a good day!

Ahem… I’m LevelHeadedLogic. Just came on the site and found out that I’m a member now! Things are now getting more interesting…

How did you find Roblox?
Back in late 2012 (Oh boy) I was just plain ol’ bored and remembered that one of my friends had been making Roblox sound like the best thing ever, so I hopped on as a guest (Remember those days?) and gave it a try. Got obsessed with Roblox and the opportunities it brung.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Around 2013-2014 development on Roblox started to get my attention. Me getting tired of doing the same ol thing on Roblox every time pushed me to start developing on Roblox. I started it as a hobby, not getting serious with it until 2016.

Current goals/achievements on the platform
I have many goals… My achievements are laking though. I have done some work as a model builder before, but that was short lived. I am currently working on something that I plan to reveal in this year.

What is your role in the developer community?
I don’t really have a specific role I believe. I do programming, modelling, and art. But if I had to choose one, programmer would be it. I want to be more of a jack of all trades type of person.

Anything else you would like to include?
Really looking foward to exchanging knowledge and information with other devs in the community so that we can all get better at developing!

How did you find Roblox?

Hello! I’m NYDynamics. When I was younger I used to watch streamers and Youtubers. They did videos on Roblox, from that day I made my first account on Roblox. From that day I still play Roblox.

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

I started at a very young age. I think 8 or 9. I started to read the wiki and watched online tutorials. I also found it useful to look through different models from the toolbox to see how they were made and learn from them. I also became friends with people along the way which helped me alot.

Current goals/achievements on the platform

I always and still want to create my favorite games. I wanted for people to enjoy and play my games. My hope for Roblox is one day I can work on an event. It’s also one of my dreams to get nominated in the Bloxys.

What is your role in the developer community?

I’m a programmer and I am fluent in Lua,RblxLua,CSS,HTML5. I spend most of my free time learning new concepts and I am always trying to improve.

Thank You!

Hello, my name is lovelysaIad and I have excitingly been accepted to our DevForums platform.

So… Let me introduce myself! :smile:

-I found ROBLOX in 2016 while my friend was playing it and when I got later home I installed the game and enjoyed the content I got!
-As I saw ROBLOX as my pleasure and when I saw how some people can build I though I should start doing that too!
-My goal is to make sure that everyone that asks something here gets an answer, that is why we have forums anyways lol.
-I am a Clothing Designer, Developer and learning GFX.
-Follow me on twitter! :slight_smile:

I’m new here and would like to say thank you for having me! I have been on roblox for the past 9 years and it’s been a wild ride and I hope to have many new adventures on here.

Hello, I’m Lolaphobia!
I first joined Roblox in 2013 on my old account LoveMyAwesomeness.
I first started development at the start of 2018 for the British Army, from that I stemmed out to build my own group. I’m also aspiring to become a member of the Elite Builders Of Robloxia!
On Roblox, I’ve joined Roblox Architects and now I’m considered an extraordinary builder, I’ve also joined the forum which is an achievement in itself.
I do quite a lot of development over a few fields. I am a builder at heart and I love trying to build anything and everything, I’m also a decent GFX artist. And I also like to produce EDM!
I look forward to help contributing to the forums!

Hello! I’m new to this part of ROBLOX, but I’ve been around since 2011.

How I found ROBLOX? Well, I didn’t really find it. My friend (we’ll call him Josh for privacy reasons) did. Josh & I had a passion for role playing games and one day stumbled apon ROBLOX. The idea of playing Pokemon and Medieval games in 3D was really fascinating to us. If it weren’t for his actions, I may not be here today. He is the reason I love computers so much. He sadly no longer uses the platform and we have gone our separate ways.

What got me started developing on this platform was one day, Josh & I figured out how to make our own game and threw together one with lots of random content we found on the site. It was really chaotic and messy, but that’s what our 10 year old imaginations created and we enjoyed every second of it. I wanted to learn how to code so badly to make better games, so I explored the content of open sourced places and tried to figure out how to make something new out of it.

You’re all probably expecting the “pushing this platform to its limits” stuff. While that is true, it’s not my number one priority. My current goal is to use API services in weird and fun ways. I just love how you can post to a site like Twitter from a ROBLOX place! I also hope to one day create a fun game everyone will love using these features too.

Ah, my roles. Building is my passion. I love to create things when I have the inspiration to do so. As for other roles, I am currently studying programming off this platform and I’m fluent in languages like HTML, CSS and Ruby. I never really did learn how to use ROBLOX Lua, but one day I hope to do so.

Thank you for reading my intro. I can’t wait to finally dive into this community and learn new things!

Hello everyone, I’m gui110 the creator of Snow Resort. I mostly do Build, GFX, and UI Design. I started to play Roblox back in 2011 where I was playing as a guest. Later, I made my own account and discovered that games were actually made by the community. This is where I started to get interested in building things. Now I lead my own projects and my goal is to deliver games that are original and fun to play. I still have a lot to learn but I’m at a point where I hope I can also help other people too.

Greetings, I am Jason.

How did you find Roblox?
I found Roblox by some advertisement in late 2008 and played as a guest until 2009.

How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
I got into development around 2013

Goals:

  1. Hopefully turn this into a side job.
  2. Improve the platform.
  3. Learn skills that will help me in other areas of my life.

What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
:sweat_smile: yeah…
You know when your whole team bails on you, leaving something so close to being finished by you did not have the skills to complete it so you try to learn that skill?
Programmer,Builder,UI Designer,GFX,SFX,VFX,Animator,UX Designer,Marketing, Clothing Designer… etc :upside_down_face:
(Finding Determined, Trustworthy and Efficient people is harder than I expected.)

Anything else you would like to include?

  1. My original account is Vdsnyder7734, I go by Jason online.
  2. I am proud that Roblox is growing all of the time.
  3. I use to get Hooters Ads as a 10 year old boy on Roblox. :unamused:
    Rthro is nothing.
    Glad Roblox grew out of that phase.

Welcome all new members to the Roblox community.

I was initially introduced to the Roblox platform back in 2010 by my cousin when I was quite young. I instantly fell in love with the website and kept coming back time and time again, even through my highschool years.

I began my development process by opening studio and playing around with the tools. I started by making very low quality 100% free model games. From there I began to get more familiar with the platform and eventually my development quality grew with my confidence.

I had the honor of being apart of cutout studios. We created the front-page, and blog featured game Super Paper Roblox. Since then I’ve expirimented working as more of a solo act. I had the incredible oppurtunity to make a game for RyGuyRocky, which has over 1million subs on youtube and is starting a Roblox based series. I created my first independantly produced game that accumulated over 23k visits, and has since been retired. I’m currently working on my second game which hopefully will out-achieve my first project.

I’m a builder and GFX artist.

I’m super excited to be apart of this community and I hope to contribute as much as I possibly can.

Hey! I’m Heydude261.

I started playing ROBLOX in 2013 at the urging of a few friends that played at the time but don’t currently play now. Over the years, I’ve been focused on working in war clans. Fortunately, I’ve taken the time to try to learn RBX.Lua.

I’m glad to be here!

  • How did you find Roblox?

A friend Introduced me to the site in 2009 when my first account was created and since then I have been intrigued with the amount of evolution not only within the community but also the development aspect of things.

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

I honestly got tired of paying for things to be made for me, it took some time and I am still learning how to script but I have some knowledge in building, gfx, and uniform creation.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform

I am currently the head of a major project based off the Titanomachy, essentially a battle in Greek Mythology between the Gods and Titans, I hope to finish that as my first huge development project. I am still in process of hiring developers.

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

GFX and Uniforms are my main areas of focus.

  • Anything else you would like to include

As I said I came here primarily looking to hire talented people so if you’d like to get to know about my project and I shoot me a message. I will typically respond within an hour if not sooner in the day time of the CST timezone.

Hi, I’m bigjohn. I started playing Roblox when my friend showed me this game where you could build things then blow them up back in 2012, and I decided to make an account soon after in 2013. I got started with development when I started trying to modify freemodel scripts, and eventually started scripting on my own. I gradually got better at scripting and joined several groups to develop in. One of my goals on Roblox is to improve my skills even further. My main role in the developer community is programming. Something I would like to include is that I enjoy playing combat and building games.

I’ve been trying to get into the DevForum for the last 8 months and it’s great to finally be here!

I am Unsayableorc, or previously ilikesinkingships, whichever you prefer. I found Roblox from hearing about it on YouTube sometime in 2013. 2013 was also the year of which I created my account, so it’s been a long time. I began my development on the Roblox platform only last year, and I have to give a lot of credit to Pinewood Builders for jump starting my development on this excellent platform. Currently, my only goal is to get a full game out of the door, which I have almost reached. My role in the developer community is a builder. I make some pretty good models, and you can see m finished models through my builds place, although most of my builds, so far, have been for Pinewood Builders, and some of my models have gotten into Pinewood Builders Computer Core.

Anyways, that’s my introduction, thanks again for my acceptance into the DevForum, and I’m looking forward to all the time I’ll be here!

Hi, I’m Csdi!

Ironically, I found Roblox by searching the term “Minecraft” into my search bar being as eager as I was to play it. Somewhere I found an image of the 2012 happy home place, and thought it looked even cooler than the term I was searching for in Google. I found the Roblox website, and for around a week I was playing many popular games as a guest (‘The Complex V4’, ‘Welcome to ROBLOX Building’, etc.). Until one day I made an account.

My hardcore development journey started in 2012 with a system that wasn’t so hardcore. I found out that I could make games with the platform by using the former “Build” button. I originally used personal server tools to build things, then in January of 2013 I found out I could use Roblox studio to make even better games.

I have met a lot of the goals I passionately strived for back in the day, but I do have some enormously grander goals waiting to be achieved.

Achievements:

  • I’ve worked for some popular people with tens of millions of place-visits.
  • I’ve made a career off of developing for groups with around 100k members.
  • I’ve made lots of Sci-Fi facilities that people from many communities absolutely love, and also have made some awesome systems while experimenting with lua.

Goals:

  • I am currently in the process of creating a game where players of all ages can play around with a system that allows them to use personal server tools once more to make their own “Worlds”. My goal is to one day get this game an average of over 1k visitors playing at any given time.
  • Attract my own massive stamper-building community, and game development community.

I’m current both a builder and scripter, those being the two hobbies I’ve always had on the Roblox platform. I also sometimes like making thumbnails and renders (I’m not the best at it though lol).

Hello, I am a new member of the Developer Forum and am extremely grateful to be here. The new system has given me so much more access to this amazing platform.

  • I found ROBLOX in 2015 and fell in love with this amazing game.
  • I recently started developing as I decided I wanted to learn how to provide something to the platform instead of just play the games.
  • Currently head developer in a 10k London, but my main goals are just to improve as a builder and scripter.
  • I am currently a builder but looking to learn more about scripting and animating.

I know lots of you are worried about us new members not using the correct etiquette and spreading possible false information, but I assure you I am here to learn and improve as well as gain access to new information.

Thanks ROBLOX for this great opportunity :grinning:

Good day everyone!

My username is EGOTISMS, and I started ROBLOX in 2013 I believe, and its been a long journey from simply playing to getting actively engaged within the development community.

I started making simple graphics for cafe groups and gained a reputation quickly working under several groups for a while. After quitting, I have decided to work on game development instead and moved quickly onto UI design (been doing it for a few months now!). With the successes I’ve found working for multiple popular ROBLOX YouTubers and game creators alike, I have decided to continue my journey here in hopes of creating a name and establishing a fanbase for my work.

Currently, I have a solid group of friends that can build, make graphics, and script as well as a good fanbase who enjoys my work on my twitter page. I am hoping to expand it in the near future by posting my work. In addition, I hope to take on more UI jobs with people I trust to establish further skills and connections in game development.

I am a new but talented UI designer and an experienced GFX designer. Hope to see you all around!
