I’m building a story-driven adventure in Roblox Studio that drops players into a devastated New York City. I already have the core lore and a rough layout, but I need an experienced Roblox developer to turn it into a fully playable RPG within the next month. I want to pay dev with game share profits in robux Environment The map must capture recognizable NYC avenues, alleyways, and skylines with highly detailed streets and buildings—think ruined subway entrances, crumbling brownstones, and overgrown Times Square neon. Efficient streaming and level-of-detail techniques are essential so the experience runs smoothly on typical Roblox hardware. Gameplay Systems • Quests & Missions – branching tasks, NPC dialogue trees, and a basic quest tracker UI. • Character Customization – modular outfits and gear slots that reflect crafting upgrades. • Crafting & Building – gatherable resources, simple workbenches, and placeable fortifications that persist per server session. Tech Stack Lua, Roblox Studio terrain tools, DataStore for persistence, and PathfindingService for AI are all part of the workflow. Feel free to propose additional plug-ins or frameworks you prefer. Deliverables accepted when: 1. The open-world NYC map loads without significant FPS drops on mid-range devices. 2. At least three questlines are fully playable from start to finish. 3. Character creator and crafting stations function and save data across sessions. 4. All code is commented and handed over via a shared Git or Roblox Team-Create place. I’m ready to answer questions quickly and can supply reference images plus layout sketches on day one. Let’s bring this ruined city to life.

Hi there, I’m Muhammad Awais, excited by your Roblox Post-Apocalyptic NYC RPG concept and confident I can turn your lore into a fully playable, performant adventure. I’ve built large, streaming-friendly Roblox worlds with quests, modular outfits, and persistent building, and I’ll map your idea into a story-driven RPG that runs smoothly on mid-range hardware. My approach: reconstruct iconic NYC vibes with optimized assets, streaming, and LOD; implement 3+ branching questlines with NPC dialogues and a lightweight quest tracker UI; design a modular character creator with gear slots and crafting upgrades; add a crafting & fortification loop with resources, simple benches, and per-server persistence. Data persistence will be robust, using DataStore with clean, commented Lua code and a seamless handover via Git or Team Create. I’ll deliver in sprints: prototype core map and one questline by end of week 2, complete three questlines and full crafting by week 3, then polish, test, and document by week 4. Ref images and layout sketches on day one will keep us aligned. Upfront fee: 0 USD with revenue share; we’ll agree the split and milestones in writing. 9 important questions below to align scope and tech choices: Are you comfortable with 0 upfront and revenue share? What split? Target FPS on mid-range devices? How many players per server? Fortifications persistence: per server or cross-server? Must-have NYC landmarks to replicate? Should crafting include benches and upgra

Building a story-driven, post-apocalyptic NYC RPG in Roblox Studio requires highly optimized Lua scripting paired with evocative environment design. I’ve successfully scaled similar high-fidelity Roblox RPGs, focusing specifically on robust data saving and complex quest line integration necessary for a cohesive narrative experience. My immediate focus will be establishing a modular combat system (using a custom FE Gun Kit approach if necessary) and robust data integrity via DataStoreService, managing player progress across sessions. I will architect the quest system using a structured state machine to handle branching narratives and NPC interactions efficiently. For the large NYC environment, I utilize optimized Part reduction techniques and selective rendering to maintain performance stability on lower-end devices, alongside Rojo integration for streamlined external scripting and version control. Can you share the current state of the core gameplay loop (e.g., existing inventory or combat systems), and what specific fidelity level are you targeting for the devastated NYC map? I am ready to review your current asset base and provide a full alignment plan immediately. Let's chat briefly to confirm the project scope and ensure a rapid, high-quality start.

Hi there, you want a story driven Roblox RPG set in a ruined New York City with quests, character customization, crafting, and server persistence delivered within a month with profit share in robux. This will succeed if the open world streams smoothly on mid range devices, DataStore saves are reliable, and questlines are built on a clean framework you can extend. The main pitfalls are FPS drops from heavy meshes and lighting, streaming gaps causing pop in, DataStore throttling or save corruption, quest state bugs in branching dialogue, and building placement exploits. In the first hour I will profile the current place for memory and FPS hotspots, then set up the core quest and save architecture and wire one questline end to end with dialogue, tracker UI, and persistence. Are you comfortable using Roblox Team Create and a shared Git mirror for handoff, and do you already have a monetization plan for profit share in robux that matches Roblox payout rules. I have built Roblox experiences with streamed open worlds, quest systems, and DataStore backed progression that stays stable under real player load. I can start today, share a week by week delivery plan in chat, and push the first playable questline early. Danylo Podolskyi
