MAN has my respect risen for game-developers.
Roblox studio has a suprising amount of depth, despite lua being an easier language to learn than Java. I started on this journey in the first place because I want to be a game developer myself, I even have 3 trello boards mapping out my ideas for 3 different roblox games I plan to make. Def not coming out any time soon though bc they’re not fully planned. But once they are, i’ll share them with you guys to get feedback. For now, i’m going to share my experience with you guys.
What I can do so far
I’ve only got 1 week of experience, i’ve still got a long way to go. Trying to learn how studio works and what it can do is actually…easier than I thought it’d be, but then again, that doesn’t mean it’s without challenges. I’ve only touched the basics the most I can do scripting wise atm is make a block appear and disappear using code:
Now this code is insanely basic, and it’s probably spaghetti, but i’ll get there.
I learned about anchoring parts (DO IT UNLESS U WANT YOUR BUILDS TO CRUMBLE), creating your own functions, while true loops, properties, and how to take modeling shortcuts. I’m currently learning how to model a castle (the walls at least), those architecture classes paid off kinda…
My Teaching Tool
I use a roblox studio plugin called CK Studio +. It gives you video (or texted based) lessons to follow along with in roblox studio. Now uhh, i’m not very efficient with the video lessons because I have a notebook where I write down almost everything the instructor says. I need to stop doing that because it makes lessons that are supposed to be only be 10-20 mins, take 2 hours to complete 
. If following videos isn’t your thing, that’s ok, i’d advise going on to text based lessons.
Here’s the link for this plugin: Studio+
It will teach you programming, visual design, and game design. Good luck if you’re gonna do it!
I’ve also learned that game development is difficult, you have to plan everything down to it’s last detail. It’s both exciting and daunting.
