Learn How To Code Games In Roblox Studio 2025 (Udemy.com)

Learn how to create Roblox games in an easy to understand step by step course

Created by: Brendon Ross

Last updated January 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 3,157 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Brendon Ross's course is a short, project-led intro to making games in Roblox Studio. It runs about 6 hours over 52 lectures and six sections: setting up Studio, Lua basics, building and scripting fundamentals, then a small camping game that gets animations and a reset feature. The last section covers saving player data. It is written for total beginners, including Roblox players who have never coded. There are no quizzes or coding exercises, so all the practice is following along on screen.

Reviewers mostly like the teaching. Words that come up are clear, simple, detailed and a good pace, and one says they grew a lot in the first five videos. The complaints are about age and depth. The last update was January 2025, and one reviewer says they had to look elsewhere for the 2026 interface, animation and deprecated features, though another found about 90 percent still works. A few dislike the voice, which they call AI-like or too formal. Others say code is typed with little explanation, and one wanted more on loops.

With 13,501 students and a 4.3 rating from 3,157 reviews, it has a solid track record, and more than 2,600 of those ratings are four or five stars. It works best as a quick first taste of Roblox scripting. Expect to pause and search when menus do not match, and plan on a deeper Lua course afterward if the basics do not stick. If you want to see whether Roblox development is for you, it is a sensible place to start.

Best forBeginners or Roblox players who want a quick, guided first game in Studio before moving on to a deeper Lua course.
Skip it ifYou want screens that match the 2026 Studio interface, or a deep, exercise-heavy Lua course.

Pros

  • Clear, beginner-paced teaching, with one reviewer saying they grew a lot in the first five videos
  • Builds one small camping game from scratch, then adds custom animations and a reset feature
  • Covers saving and loading player data and a leaderboard, not just placing parts
  • Short at about 6 hours, so it is easy to finish and see a working game quickly

Cons

  • Last updated January 2025, and reviewers say Studio's interface and animation tools have since changed
  • Some find the narration voice AI-like and formal, and say code is explained too thinly
  • No quizzes or coding exercises, and one reviewer wanted far more detail on loops
Great course! It’s clear, concise, and straight to the point. The instructor introduces key aspects of Roblox Studio in a way that’s easy to follow and practical.

Fine for true beginners; it only asks for a PC or Mac and the ability to install Roblox Studio.

After all, it's a decent course that does the job and gets you started on learning how to create games with Roblox. The course isn't particularly up-to-date, and I often found myself having to look elsewhere to see how things are done in the 2026 (especially regarding the interface, animation, and deprecated features). In terms of code, the instructor doesn't follow many of the naming conventions and best practices defined by Roblox, and some of the approaches he takes in scripting are questionable, but ultimately, it's a course for beginners, so that’s not too important. The instructor also doesn't explain how to publish a course on Roblox and test it live, except for a quick 5-minute overview at the end, something I actually considered particularly important.

By Zakaria El Khamsi on 3/28/2026

5 stars man ! i love the way you teach ! it's incredible. Be aware that the version of roblox has changed , the course is not up to date to it but still 90% of the course is still operatable of the version i used. I don't know how to downgrade roblox nor if it's possible. Anyways highly recommend it if you're starting with Lua and roblox in general

By Josue Almendares on 11/10/2025

Great course! It’s clear, concise, and straight to the point. The instructor introduces key aspects of Roblox Studio in a way that’s easy to follow and practical. While it’s not the most comprehensive course available, its simplicity makes it an excellent starting point for anyone beginning their journey in Roblox development.

By Frank Curiel on 10/15/2025

I really enjoyed this course! The instructor explains everything clearly and in a very didactic way, providing solid information about the fundamentals of video game programming in Roblox. I highly recommend it, and of course, students should continue learning to keep progressing in this exciting field. Many thanks!

By James J on 7/29/2024

This course starts off well for beginners, but then the pace becomes significantly faster. It's really more of a midlevel course. Also lessons 36 and 37 are sort of out of order. Even with these critiques, the instructor is likable and there's a lot of good info, and a well done project. If you need more background and explanation as to what everything means, a slower first course may be better. Otherwise, if you have a solid foundation then you will learn a lot from this course.

By Vito R on 3/28/2024

Loved the course. Instructor is a very well versed in Roblox. One thing I noticed is sound volume being very low on my Chromebook app. On the desktop PC via Chrome it was better. Otherwise it was good. One thing I would suggest is if you can provide a quick summary of code at end of each lesson - take a few seconds to show the entire code you edited in that lesson. It makes debugging so much easier when things don't run right. Hope to see more courses from this instructor.

By Alice F on 8/1/2023

A great course to get started in Roblox programming. In this course, you will learn how to get started building a world and a bit of programming. He has great examples and resources to help you get started. If you are completely new like I am, I feel this course is a great one to start with. I will be getting the rest of his courses. A+

By Lucas James on 11/5/2022

I am now going to be speaking about the updated 2022 version since the old reviews are from the old version. I started this course on the first version and was learning a lot! I kinda liked when Brendon would make a mistake because it shows the process of fixing bugs, the newly updated course has so far been amazing. brendon talks more in-depth about stuff and is very active with questions and direct messages! I'm not done with this course just yet but I am learning so much! i HIGHLY recommend this course for beginner Roblox scripters!

By Allen Gonzalez on 4/9/2021

although i felt i was advancing in the course. the camping game was not completed. more explanaitions in detail on loops. was needed i ended buying another course in here that explains in detail all lua basics.
