How I Started in FiveM Development ?

My journey in FiveM development began about four years ago, well deep within a roleplay server. Having first entered the FiveM space as a roleplay player/content creator, the curiosity to see how scripts and MLOs were created led me down another path. Coming from a background in web development, picking up Lua wasn't too difficult because it's primarily the scripting language that is used within FiveM. Curiosity got the better of me, and I went from making minor snippets into full-fledged server development. As time passed, what initially started due to curiosity became a passion, and now I provide my services to clients all over the world. It has been a really rewarding journey because it really transformed my role from being a player to becoming a creator.

What Separates My FiveM Development Services

There have been a number of factors that set my FiveM services apart from that currently on offer within the market.

1. Quick Client Response:

I believe in very rapid communications with my clients regarding their problems and requirements.

2. Optimized Scripts:

I do highly optimized scripts running at 0.00ms, which reduces server load and increases players' FPS.

3. Continuous Support:

I continuously support my clients even after the contract is over. I help the clients to troubleshoot and maintain their servers as a part of relationship building with them.

4. Full Package Development:

I offer the complete development package, starting from scripting down to assets and community setup. This ensures the client gets everything that may be needed for their server in one place.

5. Excellent Communication:

Fluency in both English and Hindi helps me understand exactly what is expected of the client and work accordingly.

Maintaining Quality in My FiveM Projects

Quality assurance is the main thing for me, and I do several things in my work to ensure that it is of the best quality possible.

1. Repeated Testing:

Before releasing any script or server, I make it a point to test them a great number of times to remove bugs or any type of performance lag. This whole process of repeated testing can result in a very smooth experience for the end user.

2. Continuous Improvement:

I keep myself updated about the latest scripts, snippets, and other techniques available in the FiveM development community to include new technologies and improvements in my work.

3. Client Feedback:

During my development process, I always request my clients for their feedback. This would ensure that the end product is to their liking and appeal.

4. Ongoing Support:

Events after a project is completed may also include my support for any issues that might arise, helping the client troubleshoot and maintain their servers long-term.

Pricing for FiveM Development Services

My rates for FiveM development services are flexible and based on the needs of the client:

• Monthly Development Contracts: For the continued development and maintenance of servers.

• Hourly Development: For clients needing shorter-term or smaller tasks.

• Custom Script Contracts: Adding any kind of specific features that the client may want on his server.

• Bug Investigation and Optimization Contracts: Finding issues within any already-existing server and fixing them.

Managing Updates during FiveM Development

Updates are part of server management, and I ensure that transitions go smooth with the client by having open lines of communication.

1. Regular Communication:

I make sure to pre-notify clients when updates are imminent, explain what will change, and address concerns they may have.

2. Documentation:

I document any release notes and change logs clearly, so it is crystal clear to clients what changes to expect in an update and how to employ these changes.

Specialized Roleplay Scenarios

RP scenarios form the backbone of many FiveM servers, and through the years, I've come to specialize in designing and improving a number of different types of RP experiences, including the following:

Law Enforcement RP: Including gang and law enforcement interactions, also civilian interactions. Gang Roleplay: Unique business interactions, conflict scenarios between gangs and civilians. State Agent/Senator Roleplay: Intricate political RP experiences create server narratives and advance them.

Success Stories as a FiveM Developer

I have developed many successful FiveM projects which bear some of my key skills:

• Everest City Roleplay (Nepal): My very own server, which I am developing and have been working on for more than eight months. It is based on the QBcore framework.

• Los Santos Legends Roleplay (United States): I worked with a client to provide a custom RP server with unique features and fine-tuned performance.

• Other Servers: Other lead developer roles I have played are in Baren Byrn City and Topey Roleplay servers located in Nepal.

Conclusion

Developing FiveM has been, in a word, rewarding, being able to take my passion into a career. I have grown from player to creating entire servers and providing full-service options to customers around the world. Quality, communication, and ongoing support-that's what separates me in FiveM development and ensures each client gets a tailored, optimized experience.

Whether it's custom scripts, server optimization, or full server development, I can make your FiveM server a reality.
