===2008===
====May - November====
*Tokaisho and a group of friends founded Pinewood as Pinewood Labs.
*The earliest known games that were built were the Dog Food Factory in September and the ROBLOX Powerplant in October. The power plant was considered to be one of the first power stations ever built on ROBLOX, while the Dog Food Factory was replaced by the classic game Train Demolition.
====November - December====
*As a remake of the closed Dog Food Factory, The Bread Factory was open to the public; a large bread-making production line whose sole purpose is feeding a giant noob named Bob. It became known as one of the last existing "feed the noob" places to exist on the Roblox website, as the others have died out.
*Later in December, Pinewood's first headquarters, named Pinewood Labs (2008), a medium-sized building in a similar setting and style to the ROBLOX Powerplant, was opened.
**This very first Pinewood Headquarters building was made into a 'ruined' state for Tokaisho's CRUSH A BUILDING! game.

*The Pinewood Research Center (2009) was built. It was a three to four-story, a white building located in a large, relatively hidden compound. A tunnel was reportedly located past a checkpoint which at this time, was a mystery to where it led to.
**As a part of the Pinewood Research Center, the Pinewood Computer Core was built, a large mainframe which existed below the Research Center. The Computer Core would later be turned into a separate game in 2011.
*A second headquarters was built. It was a much larger compound and was relatively hidden. Not much information is available regarding it at the moment.
====September====
