#1860

Greetings. I am honored to say that I am a new member of the Developer Forum. It is great to be apart of this forum that shares resources for many developers!

I am Scytheric. I discovered Roblox approximately seven years ago (around the age of eleven) through a close friend of mine, although my older accounts are forever lost in the abyss of forgotten passwords thus leaving Scytheric as my main account. I grew a passion for developing games roughly around 2013, which then I discovered that I was destined to be a programmer given how easily I understood coding and how passionate I was for it. It wasnā€™t until 2016 when I became a full-fledged scripter. My goal is to grow my development team and publish titles that will be appreciated by many. Although that I am a scripter mainly, I do a little bit of 3D modeling, graphic design, game design, UI design, and story writing.

Thank you.

  1. I found Roblox through one of my close friends in real life.
  2. I started development by taking the already made Roblox templates and making random things out of them.
  3. My goals are to create games that people can enjoy and to create games that people will remember and come back to.

Hello, Iā€™m Rich151!

I found Roblox back in 2011 back when war groups where a lot more common then they are today. Although as to the exact details of how I stumbled upon Roblox I canā€™t really remember as itā€™s been a while. I got started with development on the Roblox platform when a friend of mines wanted me to design a website for him to use on a project he was working on for Roblox. I did little building for a friendā€™s game. But I most develop off the Roblox platform. But I do work I minor Roblox project when I need something to do. My current goals on the platform are probably to try and improve a built of my building skills as well some scripting skills as well. As rarely mess around with Lua code. Since I usually mess around more with HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, as well as some SQL.

My current role in the developer community would be a Web Developer. As I just loved building and design websites ever since I was little. Of course, I wonā€™t call myself a professional in the field but I learn enough to build the web project I needed. If I donā€™t know something I usually take some time to try and learn the thing I trying to do. Even if it takes a while and I end up messing up in the process.

Hello, my name is TopHatA.

I first found Roblox through a friend of mine, it was 2014 if I remember correctly.

I didnā€™t know how games where made back then but I learned how to use studio and ever sence I have been working on anything from a single decoration to full-scale maps.

I currently have several goals, a few of them are:

  • Becoming a full member of the DevForum.
  • Finishing my solo projects.
  • Hopefully going to the 2020 RDC.

I have always been a builder but I also have a basic knowledge of scripting.

1. How did you find Roblox?
Back in 2009, my friend, who has long since disappeared, introduced me to some long forgotten paintball knock-off game, and ever since, I have been experimenting with all things Roblox.

2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
Back when build mode was a thing, I messed around constantly with the ā€œHappy Home In Robloxiaā€ starter place. Since then, Iā€™ve moved into edit mode (which is now the only mode) and moved on from editing other peoplesā€™ content and creating my own. I used to work with groups to get content made, from large maps, to small map accessories, programming, UI, etc., but, again, have moved on from the group-scene. Almost three years ago, I began development on a game and decided that everything we made had to be done in-house. This was when use of other peoplesā€™ content (from Roblox, or not) was loosely moderated so it was revolutionary at the time, but is necessary today. Itā€™s proven to be a very difficult process as there are only two of us in total, but I take care of everything with the exception of programming, which is about the other 40% of the game anyway.

3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
Iā€™d like to create a game, after the one I am currently developing, where it maintains the feeling of ā€œthis is Robloxā€ but also feels like itā€™s not, if that even makes sense. This is not my implication that Roblox is a bad thing, but some people do not see Roblox as a development platform and see the games as linear and have low replayability (not my words, but paraphrasing what a few friends said), they see it strictly as a childrenā€™s video-game. I aim to remove that label completely from Roblox.

4. What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
I can do just about anything, but what I enjoy doing most are building, modeling (outside of Roblox in 3DS MAX), SFX design, and music composition. I am also good with project management which is not a common thing on Roblox, but is basically the person (or group of people) who compile a game and make sure everything fits cohesively, as well as makes plans for future content.

5. Anything else you would like to include
Iā€™m currently looking for a programmer to finish what my co-developer started as he has quit development on the game Iā€™m currently working on. Whoever does this may also have to pick up the UI Design as well as the rest of the game is a bit heavy and Iā€™m a bit out of touch with it as of right now. For more information, shoot me a DM!

  1. How did you find Roblox?
    An ad on some Bionicle fansite in 2009.

  2. How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    I honestly donā€™t entirely remember, but there was definitely a lot of editing free models to change how they behave.

  3. Current goals/achievements on the platform
    Well, uh, I got a game into the Xbox featured sort or w/e it was called back when anything had to be manually approved to be playable on console. I donā€™t even own an Xbox One, now or then.

  4. What is your role in the developer community?
    Not much at the moment, I have to re-learn a lot of things in order to make a new game that actually works. All of my older games, other than the aforementioned Xbox one, appear to be completely broken now.

  5. Anything else you would like to include
    Thank you for finally allowing me to post here; this was a large part of me deciding to come back to this platform after a couple of years. (Yes, I am aware itā€™s automated now.)

I found ROBLOX back in 2009 when I saw a video on YouTube of the game. I thought it was cool and gave it a try as a Guest. Iā€™ve been hooked ever since. Currently, Iā€™ve been through 2 other accounts.

Back in 2014, I used to screw around on Studio, placing free models and not knowing exactly what I was doing. In 2016, I started to learn programming languages such as Python, and in 2017, I decided it was time to learn Lua. I used ROBLOX as a platform to test my Lua skills, and now I have enough experience to make great games.

Currently, Iā€™m trying to make good games and become popular.

Iā€™d like to think myself as being a UI designer.

Nope.

I found ROBLOX quite recently actually, in 2017. While being a late arrival to the platform, Iā€™ve been able to grow a YouTube channel and do GFX commissions for many. I found the platform through a friend who told me about the opportunities for development on the platform, and I was immediately interest in it!

I got started with development when exploring exportation through studio with OBJ files, and quickly realized how creative you can be when you combine it with Blender! I began learning more about building and scripting not too long ago, and am beginning to develop games and such by myself.

I consider myself a GFX artist over anything.

#1870

I am Nurrpents,

It is nice to be in the DevForum as I would like to actually get into making actual games. I have made games with friends in the past but they are just joke games nothing too serious. I know basic building, scripting, and GUIs. I also know how to make GFXs.

Thatā€™s really cool how you self taught yourself scripting at 9! I canā€™t even remember what I was doing at 9!

If you arenā€™t new then why are you posting on the ā€œIntroduction thread for new membersā€ :thinking:

#1878

to welcome other members, up my read time and look and see if anyoneā€™s posting any cool content here instead of #development-discussion:cool-creations or something

lets continue in dm before post flag/merge

#1879

One of the few times Iā€™m responding.
Iā€™m interested how the goal of learning lua is going to go for you. Itā€™s very cool, to say at least.
Welcome! :wave:
