Create an account in Roblox

How to create a game in Roblox on a computer? You need to start with the basics - by registering an account. We go to the site. If you do not yet have a Roblox account, the system will prompt you to create one. To do this, click on the Sign-Up button.

We go through the standard registration procedure:

Great! The first step towards your own game has been taken.

Download Roblox Studio

Log in to your account, and you will see the main page of the service. You need to click on the Create button.

After this, you will see the Roblox Studio page - the very program through which users create their own worlds. Click on the Start Creating button.

Next, the site will allow you to download Roblox and Roblox Studio. We agree and install the software package.

Let's start creating a game in Roblox

Roblox Studio will open automatically, you will only need to log in to the account you created earlier. The service interface looks like this:

What are tabs for?

• New — create a new game/map.
• My Games - view all the games you have created.
• Recent - see all the recent games you have worked with.
• Archive - view the games that you have sent to the archive.

Confidently click on the New button.

Templates

The program will prompt you to choose a template for your future game. They can be both thematic (city, castle, concert, village, pirate island, etc.) and gameplay-based (racing, platformer, capture the flag, arena, etc.).

We'll use the Racing map as an example.

Editor

So, we have a racing game template open.

You can rotate the camera by holding down the right mouse button. You can drag any objects by holding down the left mouse button.

On the left, you will see a large window with the subtitle Toolbox. This is where all the physical objects and scripts you can use on your map are stored. In our case, these are cars, buildings, and lighting elements.

Experiment and try to place a couple of cool cars and stylish houses in the location!

And be sure to make sure that you have a Spawn Location on your map. This is where players will appear at the beginning of each match. She looks like this:

How to publish a game on Roblox

Having played enough with the editor and made the map of your dreams, you will need to publish it and make it available to your friends. To do this, open the File tab in the upper left corner. Click Publish to Roblox.

In the menu that opens, enter the name of your map, and description (optional) and select a genre. When everything is ready, click on the blue Save button. The program will save your progress for a few seconds.

Now, you need to make the game available to other players.

• First, close your project: in the File tab, click on the Close Place button.
• You will find yourself in the start menu.
• Your newly created game will appear in the My Games tab.
• Place the mouse cursor over it and click on the three dots.
• In the menu that opens, click on the Make Public button.

Voila - your game is now available to all players.

Experiment, and don't be afraid to try something new in the Roblox editor.
