Creating a game in Roblox might feel overwhelming if you're new to it. Fortunately, LogoLife has prepared a detailed, step-by-step tutorial to introduce you to Roblox Studio's user interface, guide you through adding objects, testing your game, and finally publishing it on Roblox. Continue reading or watch the accompanying video to start your Roblox game development journey today.

Getting Started with Roblox Studio

First, visit roblox.com/create. If Roblox Studio is already installed on your device, you'll be prompted to open it. If not, you’ll receive a download link to get started.

From the New menu in the upper left, select a baseplate template as your starting point. Control the camera in the studio using the WASD keys (W for forward, A for left, S for back, and D for right) or pan with the right mouse button. For precise movement, hold Shift while panning. The Explorer Tab on the right-hand side keeps track of all elements in your game. If it’s not visible, enable it from the View menu at the top.

Beginning Your Project

Under the Home tab, you can add various Parts to your game, such as blocks, spheres, wedges, corner wedges, and cylinders. Start by adding a block, which you can manipulate using the mouse. For precise adjustments, use the Move tool, accessible via CTRL + 2 on Windows or Command + 2 on Mac. Additional shortcuts include:

• Select: CTRL + 1 (Windows) / Command + 1 (Mac)
• Move: CTRL + 2 (Windows) / Command + 2 (Mac)
• Scale: CTRL + 3 (Windows) / Command + 3 (Mac)
• Rotate: CTRL + 4 (Windows) / Command + 4 (Mac)

Experiment with these tools to shape your block into something interesting, like a small rectangle floating in the air.

Testing Your Game

Frequent testing is essential. Click Play at the top of the screen to experience your game as a player. For instance, you might notice that a floating block falls to the ground and can be moved by your character. To fix this, select the block and click Anchor at the top, ensuring it stays in the air when the game is live.

Constructing Dominoes

Create a sequence of dominoes by duplicating Parts (CTRL + D or right-click > Duplicate in the Explorer panel). Arrange the dominoes using the Move tool, then un-anchor them all to allow them to topple over when interacted with. Test this by hitting Play for some fun interactions.

Adding More Elements

Expand your project by creating ramps and adding more complex objects, like vehicles. Under the Home tab, access the Toolbox, select Marketplace, and choose vehicles to include in your game. Place them meticulously and drive them off ramps.

Publishing Your Game

Ready to share your creation with the world? Save your game by selecting File > Save to Roblox for server storage or Save to File As for local storage. To publish, choose File > Publish to Roblox As > Create New Game. Name your game, specify playable devices, add a description, and enable Team Create for collaborative development if desired. Once created, share your game link by tapping the Social Share icon, adjusting game access settings, and sharing the link with your friends.

Follow these steps, and you’ll be well on your way to creating and sharing exciting Roblox games. Happy building!
