Before I begin, I want to say that this is just my experience with ROBLOX development, if ROBLOX clicks with you, great keep going. Everyone’s brain works differently.
Like many others, I developed an interest in making games on ROBLOX, a platform that claims to make game development easy. I had spent years developing on ROBLOX, and didn’t really make much progress, best work being a game in which you complete a small obstacle course for custom admin commands.
With actual games on ROBLOX, I’d always run into some snag that kept it from working how I want, like ROBLOX and its, in my opinion, terribly confusing UI positioning an scaling system, ‘udim2’, which for me, makes it impossible to scale menu systems to fit correctly on different devices as I don’t get it, or the cryptic puzzle that is attachments, welds, constraints.
I also want to mention that for 2D elements, like UI, all game engines that I know use a much simpler approach, similar to that of a Vector2.
I’m skipping a lot of in between here, quit game development for a while, tried Python and its amazing game engines, I tried the amazing LOVE2D, tried Godot recently. Godot really clicked with me, it reminded me of ROBLOX, but without my gripes I have with ROBLOX.
I’ve been using Godot to work on a 2D platformer where you play as a wizard who can only cast spells while moving, forcing you to attack when possible and dodge when you can’t.
Some might say I’m doing well because it’s a 2D game, but I’d like to point out that I’m also working on 3D games in Godot and still doing better than I ever did in ROBLOX. I shared my 2D game as an example because it’s the most complete. I just have to learn blender, which is a requirement for ROBLOX too depending on the game.
The point is to find or create tools that click for you, just because I can’t develop on ROBLOX doesn’t mean I can’t make a game or that I should give up.

I can relate with this. At one point, I honestly thought max payne was trying to tell me I had no business making games. Every build I worked on felt like a disaster in slow motion—broken mechanics, glitchy animations, scripts that acted like they had a mind of their own. I’d spend hours perfecting something only to watch it collapse the moment I tested it, and it crushed my confidence. But everything changed when I started experimenting with delta roblox to break down functions, test ideas faster, and actually understand why things weren’t working. With the right tools, the chaos suddenly had logic. That’s when I realized I didn’t “suck” at game development—I just needed better ways to learn, debug, and bring my ideas to life. Gaming stopped feeling discouraging and finally started feeling like a playground again.
Oh wow, I felt this so much! Roblox can be brutal when you’re starting out—half the time it’s not that your ideas are bad, it’s just that the tools, scripts, and testing environment make everything feel tougher than it should be. Once I started experimenting with more advanced scripting tools and testing setups, things finally clicked.
If you’re diving deeper into the scripting side or just trying to understand how certain mechanics work, checking resources like the Delta Executor website can actually help you study how scripts behave and improve your own game logic. It’s wild how much more confident you feel once you see things running smoothly and start learning from real examples. Keep going—you definitely don’t suck!
Totally agree with this! Roblox can feel overwhelming at first—not because your ideas are lacking, but because the scripting tools and testing setups can be really unforgiving. Once you start experimenting with better resources, everything suddenly starts making sense. I had the same experience when I began studying how different scripts run and interact.
If you’re trying to get deeper into the mechanics or want to see real script behavior in action, checking out tools like delta executor pc can actually help you understand things more clearly. Seeing scripts execute smoothly gives a huge confidence boost. Keep pushing—you’re definitely improving!
