Introduction thread for new forum members

Hey there! I’m Caayn, a 3 star builder* but a 5 star friend! I’m new to DevForum but I can’t wait to get started! I found roblox through a friend, and I got into developing by making a freemodeled zombie survival game with my friend! My goals are to become a professional builder and in the future possibly even learn scripting. My role as stated above is building, and I prefer to do low poly but I can also do realistic! I hope I’ll enjoy my stay here and get lots of support.

Hey, I’m new here and I couldn’t be happier. I have been wanting to get into this as a real member for a while now, and with the new member system I could finally get in!

Anyway, time to respond to the questions.

I found Roblox in 2013 when watching a YouTube video (not sure which video) and then a Roblox ad popped up. I looked at it, signed up, played for a day then didn’t really play it for 4-5 months. However, in the Summer, I saw the same ad and went back to play. I think the first game I ever played was either freeze tag or death run. I loved both of these games, and I played casually for the next 1-2 years. However, I think I saw an article about how a developer made these awesome games at such a young age, and at that moment I knew what my life goals were.To code games for Roblox, learn tons of programming languages, etc. Ever since that day I have been experimenting with scripts to see what would fit for my game.

For Roblox, I have set goals to get into the dev forums (I can now happily cross that one off :smile: ), make a popular game and to DevEx.

In the community, my role is to code fun and entertaining games for everyone to play.

Once again, I’d just like to say thank you for this opportunity!

This is Benified4Life signing off. Until next time :smile: :wave:

Hi all! I found Roblox while in my local library around 10 years old, and I saw a couple of kids playing it so I decided to give it a shot. I started with development in the war clan realm of the site, doing simple tasks and learning along the way. Current goal is to fully release the game I’m working on with other people! My role is a Programmer, and if I had to include anything else, I built my own computer! Thanks!

Hello I’m Des, I started playing roblox about 4 years ago because of some friends. I started scripting 3 years ago, being inspired by the cool games I played on roblox. I really hope to make some great games in the future. :ok_hand::yum:

Firstly, a massive, “Hello”, to everyone.

I’m VintagePetals and new to the forum as of today! I discovered Roblox through friends many years ago but actually only joined myself in 2017. I studied Art and Design and initially began making faces, clothing, meshes, models and effects.

As a Roblox games player I was mesmerised by the impressive work that goes in to making a game, so I began designing my own and set about building some maps. After completing the build, I was eager to bring my work to life - so the past year I’ve been concentrating on scripting - what I didn’t realise was that I would become so absorbed in that side of games development. I enjoy reading anything connected to coding and all the fantastic advice from developers, I can’t thank you all enough for your advanced knowledge and valued time… I have learned sooooooo much from you all and can’t wait to learn even more and contribute some of my own knowledge to the forum too.

Heya! My name’s tokyo, and I’ve recently been admitted into the DevForum as a new member. I found ROBLOX not too disparately from everyone else; that is, entirely unintentionally. After playing the game (or platform if you’re that pedantic) for a few years I became engulfed in the vast nether of building, watching accomplished developers like Lando stun the world with their remarkable talent. That being said, becoming a builder was never a decision I was tempted to make; although that decision may still be on my radar in the coming years.

Nowadays I’m primarily involved in graphic design, being the creation of thumbnails, clothing—really anything that isn’t out of my forte. My mango is to blow up a- pardon me. My main goal at this point in time is to very simply be more involved in the community and incite meaningful discussion along my peers, however that may be.

Thanks for reading. You better have a good day, or else.

Hello!

My user is Arcerion - Wyzloc - Roblox
My Development Team - Direwolf Studios - Roblox

I am a somewhat proficient scripting official. I know the basics of lua, but more of Roblox essentials that guide me with development.

My goal is to learn more about lua on this forum, and help others learn. Roblox is a growing community, and continues to amaze me with the amount of players and developers joining every day!

Don’t be afraid to shoot me a Message about anything, as I’ll most likely reply!

Toodles!

Hello, I’ve always wanted to be a part of the Developer Forum. Now, here I am. It feels great to finally be accepted into the Forum.

I’m TheRobloxPlayer2509. Scripter since 2016, joined since four years ago (Quite recently actually) and I’m fifteen years old currently. I’ve began to gain interest in scripting since half an year after I’ve joined Roblox. I’ve always admired the well-known developers that have their own famous games. I’ve dreamed of having my own great creation and be one of the famous developer. But I still have quite a long path to walk before reaching my dream. I’m a scripter and somewhat of a builder. I’m not exactly the best type of scripter you expect but meh, I’m still learning. I’m not really the best at writing since I’m not a native English speaker, so expect a lot of grammatical mistakes.

Hopefully I’ll learn a lot more from the site and contribute to the site. Thanks for reading!

Hello robloxians, It is an honor to be accepted to the Developer Forum. I have wanted to be apart of it for years. But there are age limitations :p. I am now 13 years old. (Almost fourteen)
But age will not limit me from doing my favorite hobbies. I 'm IbrahimVIII and have joined roblox in mid-2015. Iv’e been building for around two years now. And currently, trying to learn to script. Which is kinda hard since I don’t get alot of free time because of school :/. I am also an experienced GFX maker. My dream is to develop a front-page game and earn profit (I don’t get allowances in my family, lol.)

Hopefully I will accomplish my dream, and learn much scripting and building tips from this site.

Thanks for reading, yours truly,
IbrahimVIII

What’s poppin’ fellas? Let’s get up in here and recognize a new Programmer to the house - yours truly! :tongue:

It’s absolutely a pleasure to finally be a member! I know these probably aren’t read much, but in case a possible lurker happens to find this reply, I’ll just jump into the questions as is expected of a new member :wink:

  • How did you find Roblox?

I was pleasantly referred to roblox by my best friend. I had a lot of camaraderie between my friends and brothers who all joined as well back in 2008.

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

I found free models, and figured out how to put them together! :laughing:

Like a shameless ‘noob-trapper’, I immediately had the appeal to develop a popular game, succeeding in making my first totally-original obstacle course in my first month of joining. That was my humble beginning, but the beginning to a success and taste of the top of fame in roblox.

With that in mind, here are my historic successes in game development (2009-2013)

Get Eaten By A Zombie For Points - My biggest hit for the era, hit the front page in late 2009 and many times after, earned 2 million visits in all. Basically a noob-trap that got me a lot of tickets! :sweat_smile:
Catch Or Be Captured And Pencil Fight (on my alternate account, KillingPencil) - Another free-model hit of mine, earning over a half million visits since the old days.
Age of Empires II Tycoon another old development that hit around 100k visits.
Protect your underground base from zombies! (on my alternate account, crazyman1908) - Yet another free model junk game that I made in 2010, a mild hit around 85k visits.

This was my development before I could script independently, as I had slowly been learning to script since 2010.

I have since greatly improved, but my development and Lua experience has been built around making my game Build Your Own Mech - my biggest hit with over 11 million visits. It has a large, dedicated community of 25,000 members, and has been almost solely my motivation for development since I opened it in January 2014.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform

I strive to offer a building game that gives builders an outlet for their creative and mechanical curiosities. My game Build Your Own Mech has been a source of motivation and skills for many people, and I wish to continue this movement. It has been a great opportunity for young players to want to become builders and develop similar skills to designers, engineers, and have mechanical/functional understandings that help them to become skillful people.

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

I am a Programmer, I strive to explore security and develop in game performance and create advanced features for my projects.

  • Anything else you would like to include

I’m very much proud to be here - Roblox is a platform with a lot of great opportunities and I’m proud to be a part of the developer community!

Thank you!

Well, to start off this. I’m Naim and my username is stormdrops. I found Roblox when it was interested in Roblox Studio 1 year ago and like 12 months later, I got into building and I was really bad at first and then I started practising non-stop to becoming like my friend, and I ended up one day making a great detailed cafe and I got into more on the Platform of Roblox, and non-stop kept building. My goals and achievements on this platform is to make my group Teacana more successful and to keep on building for the public. My role in the Developer community is being a Builder and I am proud to be a Builder. I would like to thank everyone for giving me a chance to be in DevForum, it’s been my dream to be DevFourm. Thank you <3

Hi everyone,
I am very pleased to finally be a New Member in this forum!

  • How did you find Roblox?
    My kids have played Roblox for 4-5 years now I think so it´s through them.

  • How did you get started with development on the Roblox platform?
    Well, I have developed games for many many years on different platforms, though only on a hobby level. And about a year ago I stumbled on some tutorials on Roblox LUA scripting and simply thought I would try it out.

  • Current goals/achievements on the platform
    I don´t like to have my goals set too high, so I´ll be satisfied if I can create one complete game that people would enjoy. :slight_smile:

  • What is your role in the developer community? (eg. GFX, UI Designer, Programmer, Builder etc)
    I am a one man developing army so my skills are all over the place atm. My main focus though will be scripting, since there won´t be a game without scripting.
    My hopes are that I will be able to help out here and there. The more I learn myself, the more I can help others.

Thanks!

Hello, I am Phenomizon!

I first found Roblox about seven years ago while in school, where I began playing games on the site. After a couple years I began to transition into the group genre, which I enjoyed thoroughly. After creating my own group for the first time I had begun to work on my first game. It was then that I fell in love with developing. My current goals on Roblox are to become a better builder, create a game that other people will enjoy, and to become better at creating graphics. I consider my talents to be in creating GFX and building. Becoming a part of the developer forums has always been a goal of mine, and I am glad to have reached it. Thank you all for this opportunity, and I look forward to being able to prove myself in the future!

Hello, I’m Scythe and I’m a new member.

I found Roblox when I was looking on the app store when I was about 5 year sold. I remember searching up, “Fun games” or something close to that. I started playing and It was fun, so I continued to play, and look where I am today, still playing!

I remember I was playing Prison life, I thought to myself, What If i could make a game like this?. So, I started in studio, and that was the start to my adventure.

My goal is to make a popular game that people would play and enjoy. Maybe even get to the front page!

I am a builder.

Hello everyone my name is Bananacb. It is exciting to finally get into the Developer Forum!

I found Roblox back in June, 2008. As a young child I was looking for a new game to play on the internet. At recess at school one of my best friends said there was a website where you can play 3D games like paintball. He said he forgot the name of the website though. I searched it up, and couldn’t find it (back then 3D games were not very common on the computer.) The next day, he informed me the name of the game was Roblox. I go back home, search it up, and long behold a little website called “Roblox” showed up! I create my account, click on “Games”, and number one on the front page is “Miked’s Ultimate Paintball.” I join up in the game, and couldn’t believe what I just saw. It was like 20 players in a large virtual map shooting each other with paintball guns. I found what I was looking for.

Not long after, I discovered Roblox had a system where you could create your own games just like Miked’s Ultimate Paintball. My first attempt at building was to create my mansion. It came out brutal! Just the worse mess ever. It was fun though. Everyday I would go back into Studio and try to build something, or attempt to make a new game. I also wanted to bring my love for hockey to the platform as well. I was able to make an ugly outdoor rink. For game play, I added in a black ball and some free modeled hockey sticks and hockey nets created by other users. After that my friend and I wanted to start-up a hockey league for it. The league couldn’t really get started, but we did manage to make new friends who also had an interest in hockey. After trial and error, by December 2010 I was able to run my first successful tournament. By June, 2011 my first ever hockey league begun.

I was the first ever hockey game on Roblox to use a cylinder part as the puck in its gameplay. As of today, I have one league, which later this year will begin its 7th season. I have run 2 leagues since my time on Roblox, and over 15 successful tournaments. I also have created 2 games I made built for the hockey community on Roblox over the years. I got more games coming in the future, including some games not related to hockey. My #1 goal as a developer is to keep growing the hockey community I have maintained for so many years. My other goals are to improve my building and programming, and to find a way to monetize so I can keep doing this in the future.

I am not the best builder or programmer in the world, but it has come expected of me to offer some of the best hockey experiences on Roblox. My role as a developer is to give content that people will enjoy, to exercise their imagination with some role-play ability, and to design Roblox experiences that are unorthodox.

Sorry if I wrote too much! I Hope the few people who actually read this enjoyed my little story. I’ll see you guys around!

Hello, great to be on the forum :grinning:

I started ROBLOX in late 2016 and started developing in studio about a year later. I started by just messing around in studio building trees and animals and stuff. Later I started to learn to animate and improve my models and I’m currently trying to become a better scripter. Right now I’m working on a game based on Roman gladiators.

I found Roblox from a friend who introduced me to it.

I started developing because, I wanted to start getting bigger and better, like a better name and personality in the Roblox Community.

Learn how to script! and I have worked on many of my own projects such as Mount Kenya, I have Built for other people too, My Art work is not that great but it’s average.

I am a Professional Terrain Dev, Builder, and advanced Graphic Designer and a Small YouTuber with 180 Subscribers!

I just want to say that the Terrain Development community is not recognized very well and is very underrated.
