Case Study
Miami Life
I joined Miami Life to unblock core feature delivery and grew into a technical partner role, leading gameplay systems for an open-world Roblox experience.
Role and Integration
I was originally brought in to develop specific gameplay features and unblock the delivery pipeline. After shipping performant systems, the studio expanded the engagement into an ongoing role with revenue share and task-based compensation.
My role evolved into a technical partner and lead scripter position responsible for designing and implementing new gameplay systems as the game expands.
Locker and Inventory Architecture
One of the first major systems I implemented was an advanced locker system built to support complex player inventories and persistent storage across sessions.
The system was architected with strict server authority to prevent duplication exploits:
- -Reliable data persistence using Roblox DataStores
- -Efficient server performance through batched updates
- -Smooth user interaction with optimistic client rendering
- -Protection against race conditions during item transfers
Future Systems: Vehicle Modification
I am also responsible for additional core gameplay systems, including a custom vehicle modification system.
That system will support performance upgrades like engine and suspension changes, plus visual modifications such as paint, body kits, and wheels. The goal is to deepen progression and create meaningful economic sinks inside the game.
