Community24 Jul 2026Update incoming - rebuild the bridge!Howdy, partners! 🌉 The bridge You asked for this more than anything else: to rebuild the bridge. The one that's been sitting there since day one. And across, a brand new stretch of the map: the trappers' lands. There's a whole settlement out there to poke around, a missing trapper to track down, some Sly Fox chores, and a puzzle tucked away deep into the woods.. And you're not making that cros…
Howdy Partners! The new update is here. It's called "Whispers in the Woods", and it's the final chapter in the mystical side of Cowboy Life Simulator. Ghosts, altars, midnight fern flowers, and a strange old peddler living across the river. After this one, we’re leaving the magical thingies behind and going back to the Wild West classics: horses and farming. This is THE major update we've been…
Guys, we are very sorry for the delay with the newest update :/ Our QA is coming back with more and more bugs to fix so it takes more and more days to track them down and then confirm they're gone... We are targeting next week (11 - 15th of May) for the release, hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Again, sorry for the delay, I hope you have some patience left We'll get there eventually!
We owe you an update, so here's a big one. It's been a while since we released a patch and engaged with you in any meaningful way. The reason for that is simple: we've been heads-down analysing the survey results and replanning Cowboy's entire release schedule. Over 1,150 of you filled out the Great Roadmap Survey. Wow! That's a lot of opinions, a lot of bug reports, and at least one person who…
Howdy Partners! The new update is here! It’s called “The Late Shift”, and as we head towards April’s major update, we are starting to roll out some new stuff to do in Cowboy Life Simulator. Potions! Our vision of the Wild West is pretty laid back. We prefer fun and engaging mechanics rather than staying within historical constraints. So, we are adding some fun potion consumables and a herbalist…
Howdy cowboys and cowgirls! It’s (hopefully) the last hotfix for the February update of Cowboy Life Simulator !

We are mostly aware of the crashes and what causes them - but we don’t expect you to dig through all the posts here to get your answer. So the solution is here!

HO-HO-Howdy Partners! Sorry to keep you waiting. We went quiet for a bit while figuring out what went wrong with the last patch and reworking parts of the code. Our first instinct was to hotfix and push ASAP, but since we already had a holiday patch planned , we decided to merge both into one bigger update ! That’s why it took a little longer. Some of you have already been playing the updated b…
We’re reverting the latest patch. Some players started seeing disappearing buildings and a few new bugs that weren’t present before. That’s unacceptable on our side, so we’re rolling everything back to keep your saves and experience safe. We pushed this update because we genuinely wanted to fix several issues from launch as fast as possible. We hoped you’d get to enjoy a smoother game over the…

Howdy Partners! We have another hotfix for you! Many people reported that the workers near the bridge are not showing up, which is stopping them from progressing in the game’s story. So, in this hotfix: We fixed construction/bridge workers spawning - this is a solution for a narrative blocker that many of you had encountered, where the workers were nowhere to be seen and the quest couldn’t be f…
Howdy Partners! This was truly a wonderful year for us. Cowboy Life Simulator is something that definitely defined 2025 (and the last three years ;D) for our studio.

And what is a better way to celebrate the release of Cowboy Life Simulator than with a nom…

Howdy partners! Today we want to showcase our brand new VFX! We decided to finally update them, and honestly, we love them. Right now we mostly have animal-related ones, but there is also a cactus and smoke of absolute deception. Enjoy! 1. Animal reactions They show up when animals react to their surroundings and states, like sleeping, eating or being herded. The icons were hand-drawn on a card…

Sometimes, bugs are annoying, but at other times they can bring a smile to your face after hours of hard work. Here they are, in no particular order. We brought pics and we brought gifs.…
Howdy, partners! Every game starts rough. At first, we’re focused on gameplay and visuals, not performance. It’s all prototypes, heavy assets, wild ideas… and suddenly, it’s running at 15 FPS. Yep, we’ve been there too. But now we’re on a mission to hit 60. We optimize two big areas: CPU , meaning game logic, collisions, movement, AI, and GPU , so everything visual. Optimization means finding s…

Daily Routine Most days start on your farm . You’ll water crops, feed animals, and do all the work needed to keep things growing. It’s not just for fun, you and your animals need food! But farming isn’t only for survival…
Howdy, partners! Hello, friends! Thank you so much for appreciating our last devlog on reworked progression! Today’s topic is… characters ! What makes a game like Stardew Valley so cozy and familiar? The characters! The ones we trade with, the ones we get to know and explore their world. It’s a big deal for us while working on “Cowboy Life”, making our characters likeable and memorable . 1. Sha…
