This gives indepth information on coding for ROBLOX. My son is really invested in making games for Roblox. This book has helped him develop his game. I have read this to so I can test the code that he wrote for him. This gives more information than simply watching the videos on youtube.

Zander's book delivers. The title says it all. I knew very little about coding on Roblox, with his help, I have started my very first game. Thank you, Zander for the easy to understand book.

As someone who's always on the lookout for great programming and game development reads, I can't help but love this book. This book is like the friendly, knowledgeable guide you've always wanted by your side as you learn the ropes of creating and publishing your own Roblox games.Zander's writing is incredibly engaging and approachable, making even the most complex concepts feel like a breeze. It's obvious that he's not just a Roblox game development whiz but also a true educator who knows how to make learning enjoyable.The book is cleverly organized into three parts, each catering to different skill levels. If you're a newbie, you'll love the first part, which covers Roblox Studio and Lua programming basics with crystal-clear explanations and easy-to-follow steps.The second part is perfect for those who've already dipped their toes in the water and want to dive deeper into game design, user interface, and scripting. Zander generously shares his own experiences, tips, and tricks, giving you the confidence to tackle challenges head-on and level up your game development skills.But what really sets this book apart is the third part, which focuses on the often-neglected art of monetization and promotion. Zander dishes out valuable advice on creating in-game purchases, leveraging social media, and optimizing your game for visibility and profit. This section is an absolute goldmine for anyone who dreams of turning their passion into a successful business.Overall this is a great read for anyone wanting to create Roblox games for fun or as a viable business.Definitely recommend getting this.

I really enjoyed going through the first edition with my young son and learning together how to build games and experiences within the Roblox platform. It was also a great intro to the Lua (now Luau for Roblox) language. This edition really builds on the first and is updated to reflect changes to the platform. It's a great way to get a young gamer interested in coding and production vs. consumption/playing only. I particularly liked the additional section at the end that presented some ideas to get the creative juices flowing when coming up with ideas for your own Roblox experiences.

Arthur Trusov Jul 13, 2022

The second edition of this already brilliant book is the go-to guide for anyone at any age looking to get started with building a game on Roblox. The book goes beyond the science and introduces you to the art of game development. It involves mentally preparing yourself to be a game developer and flexibly controlling your pacing whenever you want. Brumbaugh's book educates you with interactive and relatable methods, getting you started without fear in the ever-growing but small world of game development.
