Southwest Florida

Role: Gameplay, Systems, & UI Programmer

Timeline: Nov 2024 - Present

#

I started working on this project in the middle of development for the big Revamp update, which was a complete overhaul of the game with a very in-depth environment, fictionalized vehicles, and much more polished with more things to do compared to the old game. I am a core member of the programming team helping to creating this game, and I couldn’t be happier where I am.

What is Southwest Florida?

#

Southwest Florida is a roleplaying game within the ROBLOX platform that aims to achieve a dense and smooth roleplaying environment. With more of a automotive focus, there are plenty of vehicles to drive, as well as a plethora of jobs to work and achieve income within the game’s economy.

What is the Revamp?

#

As described above, the revamp is a complete and utter overhaul of each portion of the game, including a brand new environment, programming, and plenty of new features to keep players busy. Before I started working on the revamp, it had already been in development for a couple years at the time, and the map was pretty much done.

This revamp allows us as developers to express full creative freedom within the limits of the engine, as well as adding features and certain things we think would be cool. It has allowed me also to create (in my opinion) some of the best work while working in a proper development environment. While we want to provide close-to-real vehicle handling, we still wanted to keep it driveable for players on all platforms. Roleplaying is the main focus, and we want to lean into that aspect a lot more.

What have you contributed?

Below are a few articles pertaining to major systems I have contributed towards. Keep in mind this list may change as the game gets closer to release. We aim to have this released by the end of Q2 2026.

Will update this page with specific things I worked on for this project when I can.
