[DEV TALK] How I handle DataStore saving in my Roblox games

I build Obby, Simulator, Tycoon, and RPG games. Here is my approach to saving player data:

Scripting steps I follow:

1. Load data when player joins

2. Auto-save every 60 seconds

3. Save again when player leaves

4. Use pcall() to catch errors

What I save:

- Coins and gems

- Level progress

- Gamepass purchases

- Inventory items

This system has worked well for all my projects. No data loss so far.

Happy to discuss different approaches with fellow developers.
