Cowboy Life Simulator

As a Producer Intern on Cowboy Life Simulator, a Very Positive rated Wild West ranching sim with over 1,000 Steam reviews, I lead production planning for a 15 person cross discipline team. My focus is keeping a live, growing title on schedule while supporting the people who build it.

• Lead the distribution of work across the team, planning tasks up to 4 months in advance to meet publisher milestones
• Consistently met every milestone the team was given throughout the production cycle
• Coordinate a 15 person team across disciplines, keeping production focused and cohesive
• Onboard new interns and employees and help them ramp up quickly
• Scout and recruit voice acting talent to bring the game cast to life
• Mentored directly by the studio CEO as part of my production development

I established a forward looking planning framework for a title that ships updates to a live audience:

• Built a rolling 4 month plan so the team always knew what was coming next
• Tracked milestone markers and progress to keep delivery on schedule
• Identified blockers early and adjusted priorities to maintain momentum
• Coordinated communication across art, design, and engineering disciplines

Supporting a 15 person team meant investing in both onboarding and casting:

• Onboarded new interns and employees with clear expectations and support
• Scouted and recruited voice acting talent to match the tone of the world
• Fostered accountability and shared ownership across the team

Cowboy Life Simulator is in Early Access and continues to grow with its community:

• Support live production of a title holding a Very Positive rating with 90 percent of over 1,000 reviews
• Help prioritize the roadmap so new content lands at a steady, sustainable pace
• Keep the production process aligned with player feedback and studio goals
