At Coal Car Studio, we create social games and immersive experiences across Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, PC, mobile, and emerging platforms. We are looking for an experienced Producer to help guide our growing slate of original games from development through launch.
Role Overview:
As Producer, you will work closely with the studio directors and multidisciplinary development team to turn creative, technical, and business priorities into clear and achievable production plans.
A major focus of the role will be supporting Fruit Golf, our asymmetric multiplayer VR game, as it exits Early Access and launches on new platforms. You will also help bring a new Mixed Reality title to market in fall 2026, support the development of a cross-play VR and PC co-op roguelite prototype, and contribute to R&D projects for emerging hardware and platforms.
You will manage schedules, track progress, identify risks, remove roadblocks, and help keep several projects moving at different stages of development. As part of a small independent studio, you will also support funding, partnerships, events, and other activities that help bring our projects to market. Because we are a small studio, this is a broad production role that extends beyond day-to-day development. The Producer may contribute to funding applications, partner communications, marketing, event planning, store submissions, and other studio priorities as needed.

Fruit Golf is an asymmetrical virtual reality (VR) game where golf balls are replaced by fruit and your friends rain terror down on the course as you putt. Have you ever imagined what it would be like to whack a watermelon, pineapple, or star fruit with a golf club? Well, Fruit Golf can’t promise the most realistic physics, but each fruit has its own unique way of sliding, bouncing, wobbling, and rolling down the course.
VR can be a very isolating experience – now it doesn’t have to be. Fruit Golf brings the zany course out of the headset and into your friends’ hands where they can directly manipulate the world around you through a free companion app. The golfer will try to navigate courses such as pirate ships besieged by a Kraken, the castle of the vampiric blood orange, or the solar system where all the planets are fruit, and the moon is a banana. In the meanwhile, the players outside VR will coordinate their assault to make it as difficult as possible for the golfer to reach the hole. Some obstacles are simple blockades, others explode launching the fruit out of bounds, while others require teamwork. Take for instance the simple windup mouse, all alone it will simply patrol a section of the course, but if a fellow saboteur drops a piece of cheese, not even a wayward pineapple can stop the mouse from reaching its prize.
Solo players will also be able to play all the courses with or without obstacles, as well as hone their skills in a variety of challenge levels. The challenge levels will force the player to take a break from the frenetic never stopping action of the multiplayer mode and focus on making the perfect shot and solve the puzzle of each challenge course tailored to quirks of every fruit. Given all this, Fruit Golf is a whole fruit basket worth of fun!
We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.
But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.
Everyone in games should have that much fun.
Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
