How many maids can fit into the Gamescom booth?

Howdy partners!
Emotions and dust settled, so we can finally summarize our trip to Gamescom 2023.


First of all, we would like to say HUGE THANKS to all those who came to visit the booth. Little did they know that they were actually the very first playtesters of Cowboy Life Simulator!



Until this trip, noone outside of the studio had played the game. This was a moment of truth for us, and quite a stressful one to be honest. The demo we showed was made especially for this event and some stuff was missing. There were also some (more or less) funny bugs.

But, cutting to the chase, it went quite nice! We met so many dedicated players, some of them soon to be playtesters! During those few days, we collected many inspiring suggestions. Some of the suggested changes are already in the game!

What conclusions do we have? Keep up the good work to give you guys the best possible Cowboy experience!

Stay tuned and be patient folks!

Oh, and about those maids! Here is the answer:



Ps. special thanks to our little friend Fin. He came into our booth on Friday and became a part of a team in our hearts :)

Riding High with Unreal Engine 5: Odd Qubit Revamps Cowboy Life Simulator

Qubity Boopity Boop,

How's it going?

As we have already revealed, we have moved the game to Unreal Engine 5. Today we'll show you how this technological shift has opened up new possibilities for the Cowboy Life Simulator and given us the ability to create our cozy open world.



The shift was not without challenges. Currently, the World Partition system causes minor issues with saving the state of the world - we are handling disappearing farmlands, despawning buildings, and such.



Despite these problems, we are super happy, because, with UE5's Nanite and Lumen, we can craft one big, beautiful map with three distinct areas, full of interesting locations, fantastic vistas, forests, lakes and caves, trains, and lava streams.

Yes, lava streams!



So, without further ado, we present to you the "before and after":

Big Announcement - new developer!



Howdy, Partners!

We are Odd Qubit and we’re happy to announce that we are now officially responsible for the game's development. Of course, Rock Game is still the publisher, and we are grateful for a chance to bring our own vision of a Life Simulator to life!

We have been working hard since December 2022 and now we are ready to show you a little bit of what we have created so far. The biggest change is, of course, moving Cowboy Life Simulator to Unreal Engine 5! But... we will talk about that some other time :)



We also redesigned the game's key mechanics and honestly, we can't wait to bring you more details. But today we are here just to say hello to you all and to quench your thirst for updates. Now, you are definitely going to ask us about the release date. And for now, our only answer will be: “When it's done”.
No, but seriously... when it's done :D

A lot of work is already behind us, but a lot of it is still ahead, so keep your fingers crossed and stay in touch!

Oddest regards,
Odd Qubit

  • The building system has some new buildings and completly new well-made icons







  • Most of the locations now should have some life within them since the NPCs have gotten a new AI system.



  • We have added roaming balloons to the maps



  • We have added 3d person for horse riding



  • The performance on the town map should be greatly improved



  • We added a completely new map with many quests and activities for the player to participate in.



  • We have added a perk system where you can choose in which direction you wish your ranch to move forward.






[h2]These are only some of the changes. We will keep the players updated in the upcoming days.[/h2]
