Open the template

With the story created, it's time to turn that vision into code using Roblox.

Start Roblox Studio

The game will be created using Roblox Studio. It's free to use and can instantly publish games to iPhone, Android, Xbox Live, PC, Mac, and VR.

  1. Open Roblox Studio by double-clicking the it's icon on the desktop (Windows) or clicking the dock icon (Mac).
  2. On the login screen, enter your Roblox username and password, then click Log In.

Open the template

A template has been created that has everything needed for the game to work, except the code for the actual story. Templates are pre-made worlds that you can use as a base for your own games.

  1. Download the template.

  2. In Roblox Studio, in the top left, click File → Open from File and select the downloaded file.

Close extra windows

The first time you launch Roblox Studio, extra windows might open up that you don't need right now. Closing the extra windows will give you more space to see what you're doing.

  1. Close each window on the left of the 3D view by clicking the × in the window's upper-right corner. If you don't see anything to close on the left, go to the next step.

  2. Leave the Explorer and Properties windows open on the right side of Studio.
