Introduction

You've probably heard of Roblox, a famous online platform where people play user-created games if you have children in your life. Roblox isn't just popular; it's insanely popular, with over 43 million daily active gamers. Everything revolves around Roblox's "powering imagination" tagline, which is what makes it so intriguing.

Many people mistakenly believe Roblox is identical to Minecraft; however, this is incorrect. On the other hand, Roblox is a platform that allows you to build and play a broad range of games, including platformers, racers, and role-playing games, using the simple but powerful Lua scripting language. As a result, if someone asked if you play Roblox, it'd be the same as asking if you play Java.

Roblox is a wonderful location to learn how to develop video games because of its diverse toolkit. We'll show you how to create a Roblox game. You'll be able to design your own experiences if you follow this lesson easily.

What Is Roblox?

Roblox is a gaming platform and marketplace that allows players to play games online. Roblox isn't a game; it's a platform where users may play games created by other people. It resembles the PC platform Steam more than any online children's game in this regard.

All of the games on Roblox are created by its players, which sets it apart from everything else in the gaming business. You can also make games. Roblox Corporation is not created by Roblox Corporation but rather by Roblox users. According to the official website, approximately 20 million games have been published on the platform.

How To Create A Game On Roblox?

• Roblox Studio is a free programme that can be downloaded. You may either go to Roblox.com and select Create, or you can download Roblox Studio to your computer.

• Select All Templates > Line Runner from the drop-down menu. A Line Runner is a Super Mario Brothers-style side-scrolling game. Of course, you can choose a different game type that better suits your needs.

• Find the Line Runner template and open it. Tada! You've made your very first game! Seriously. This game template is ready to use right now.

• Click the Play button or hit F5 on your keyboard to begin the game.

• In the game, your avatar displays the sentence "Press Space to Start." If you do so, your avatar will run across the screen.

• To hop over creatures and obstacles, use Space.

• If you die, your score, as well as the number of coins you gathered and your advancement level, are displayed on the screen.

How To Customise A Game On Roblox? 

• To return to the main screen of Roblox Studio, click Stop.

• On the right-hand side, look for the Explorer window. It shows the file hierarchy.

• Go to Workspace, where you can change the game's universe. If it doesn't show up in Workspace, it won't show up in the live game.

• Any grassy area may be selected by clicking it. The grass will be surrounded by a blue box, indicating that it is ready for change.

• Just underneath the Material heading, click the drop-down button. Choose "Grass" and "Bright Green" as your colour scheme.

• Change the Material and Color of a soil patch to "Slate" and "Reddish Brown."

• Hold the CTRL key (CMD on Mac) and click each component you wish to edit to customise numerous grass or soil patches at once. Always keep in mind that you may reverse changes by hitting CTRL + Z (CMD+Z on Mac).

• Navigate to Lighting to transform the game world from day to night.

• Scroll down to Clock Time in the Properties panel. Change the number to 20, which corresponds to 8 p.m. It gives the gaming environment a gloomy, ominous appearance.

• Now you must include the Start section in your game and adjust it to fit the rest of your scenario. This is the first platform you'll see when you start the game, and it's not visible from the Workspace. Go to ReplicatedStorage > PathModules > StartModule to discover it.

• Drag Start from the StartModule folder into Workspace by clicking Start.

• Two editable Walkway files are included with the Start. The one on top represents grass, while the one on the bottom represents dirt. Make your adjustments.

• Once you've finished editing, Start, and return it to its original location.

• To put your game to the test, press F5.

How To Share A Game On Roblox?

• To publish to Roblox, go to File > Publish to Roblox.

• Make a catchy title and description for your game.

• By default, your game will be accessible on PC, smartphone, and tablet. If you want it to be accessible on Xbox as well, check the Console option. Roblox isn't accessible on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch.

• Select Create from the drop-down menu.

• The game is now available for download, but only you have access to it. To change the game permissions from Private to Public, go to File > Game Settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is creating a game on Roblox free?

Yes, you can make your own Roblox game free of cost. In reality, Roblox creators urge users to create their own games, so the Roblox Studio was created. It is accessible to all Roblox users and can be accessed under the "Create" option on the official Roblox website. You can't, however, make a game from the ground up.

2. Is it hard to make a game on Roblox?

To make a Roblox game, you don't need to be tech-savvy. Roblox Studio includes a pre-uploaded template with all of the key mechanics and assets already in place for each game genre. Simply download the programme, log up with your Roblox account, select a game type, and customise the template to your preference. The user interface is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. You may drag and drop elements to resize them, as well as add new things and delete old ones. There is no need to know how to code.

3. What are Roblox Studio's technical requirements?

Roblox Studio is not compatible with mobile or tablet devices. You’ll need a PC or laptop running Windows 7 or newer or macOS 10.11 or newer to install it. A new graphics card is required — the Roblox website does not specify specific models, but it does suggest that the GPU must be less than three years old. You'll also need at least 1GB of system RAM, a 1.6GHz processor, and a reliable internet connection.

4. What Is the Best Way to Make My Roblox Game Private?

You may choose whether your game will be public or private after it is released. Here's how to manage the privacy settings in your game:

• Log in to Roblox and go to the "Create" section.

• Then, under "My Creations," select "Games."

• Look for the game. The game is public if the eye symbol next to it is green. The game is private if it is greyed out.

• Next to the game's details, click the gear symbol.

• Choose "Configure this Game" from the drop-down menu.

• Go to the left sidebar's "Basic Settings" menu, then scroll down to the "Privacy" area.

• Confirm your choice of "Private" or "Public."

Roblox is a game creation system, meaning that all games on the platform were developed by its users. Not only is Roblox a place where you can go to choose from a selection of millions of games — most of them free-to-play — you can also create and upload your own games for other players to enjoy.

By sharing your creations with the world, you can even earn Robux — Roblox's in-game currency — which can be redeemed for add-ons and other digital items on the platform.

How to start creating Roblox games

You create Roblox games using Roblox Studio, a free piece of software you can access via your Roblox account.

To get started, simply click Create on the top bar of the Roblox app and choose Create New Game. From here, you can choose a template for your game, name it, and play with some of the settings — including whether to list it publicly or keep it private. Since it's a work-in-progress, probably best to keep it private for now.

Going to the Create page also gives you the option to launch Roblox Studio. (If you play Roblox in-browser, you'll need to download the Roblox Studio application to your computer first.) This is important, because you need Roblox Studio to actually edit your game.

Inside Roblox Studio, you can create new games by clicking + New tab on the left hand bar. This will bring up a series of templates for you to work from that can be sorted by theme or gameplay style. There's also a Baseplate option for if you really want to build your game up from scratch. These are the same templates you can choose from in the browser, but from here you can drop right into editing once you've picked your template.

Alternatively, your Roblox Create page and Roblox Studio come pre-loaded with a project call "[username's] Space", a sandbox-y area where you can play around and familiarise yourself with the creator's many customisation options. It's under the My Games tab on the left hand bar.

Making your first Roblox game

Roblox Studio can look quite intimidating at first. It's a proper piece of coding and editing software, after all, and how you use it will depend a lot on what sort of game you want to make.

For a really good first-timer tutorial, I recommend checking out some videos by YouTuber AlvinBlox. They've uploaded dozens of Roblox Studio tutorials ranging from the very basics to the finer points of scripting. Here's a good one to start with:

How to share your Roblox games with other players

There's no need to upload your Roblox game once it's ready to make its debut. It's already right there on the platform, so instead, you just need to make it Public. Public games can be played by anybody using the Roblox platform; Private games can only be viewed and played by you, and anyone you choose to share editing permissions with.

You can also follow these steps to make a game Private again at any time — just be aware that it will kick anyone currently playing out of the game.

You can do this in a couple of ways. A game can be set to Public directly from the My Creations tab in the browser. Its Public/Private setting will be shown beneath the title, alongside an icon (a green open eye for Public, a grey closed eye for Private). Simply click on this and save the new setting to toggle.

Alternatively, within the Roblox Studio app under My Games, hover over the game's icon. Three dots will appear in the upper right hand corner. Click on these to see a drop-down menu from which you can configure the game's settings. You can also toggle Public/Private settings directly from an option that appears on the drop-down menu.
