About

Unleash your imagination with Roblox, one of the fastest-growing game creation platforms on the planet. More than 100 million players per month explore games created by enterprising young developers—like you!

You’ll tackle the production of a game from start to finish, building a custom terrain complete with unique challenges for players to conquer. Then, implement mechanics like checkpoints, collectible items, and melee weapons using built-in Lua scripts. Watch your players dodge enemies and find the key that unlocks their getaway car! Share your published game with friends on any platform, from console to mobile, and you can even earn some Robux in the process with monetized in-game products. With experience as a Roblox developer under your belt, you’ll be ready to take on other 3D game engines like Unity or Unreal.

AI Usage

Roblox’s AI Assistant and Material Generator are built-in tools designed for Roblox Studio. Students can generate custom textures and 3D models, or run tasks like importing 20 trees from the Toolbox in one click. Guided by live instructors, they'll explore how to utilize these AI features and boost their creativity.

In this course, you will:

• Create and publish games to the Roblox website

• Develop game design and storytelling skills

• Use built-in scripts to implement game mechanics and challenges

• Monetize published projects with in-game items
