Nate Schaumberg — Senior Production Leadership

Showcase

Career defining projects across multiple platforms, studios, and decades

Horizon Worlds

Producer (Games Content & External Studios)

As close to "building the track while the train is moving" as I've ever been. Working across multiple internal and external game, platform, and entertainment teams to launch, evaluate, iterate and optimize content and features on a constantly evolving live multiplayer platform.

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds

Assistant Producer

For nearly 5 years of my life, from the moment I played Red Alert in 1996 until starting production in late 2000, my career goal and life dream was to work on a Star Wars RTS. You can imagine how thrilled I was when I found out that we'd be building SWGB with Ensemble Studios' Age of Empires II engine.

Planet Moon Studios

Senior Producer

Planet Moon was that place. Small, independent, and creatively ambitious. We had the opportunity to pitch and develop a passion project and original IP with Microsoft for several months, amongst other fun and ambitious work. If I were a dog and you yelled HOME this is where I'd run to.

BioShock (4)

Lead Producer

A true legend in gaming - BioShock. I worked with studio leadership in California and Montreal to migrate and scale production to our new studio location in Montreal, and across multiple co-dev partners and locations.

Tomb Raider

Art Producer — Legend
Producer — Anniversary

TOMB RAIDER! So much bigger and complex than the games I'd been working on. Managing the narrative, script, and VO sessions was so much fun, a career highlight. Began using data to help drive production decisions, as well as my first foray into co-dev and outsourcing.

Director of Web

My professional side quest. It's hard to summarize what I learned here, because I was learning every single day. Our small team of 4 managed the entire web presence for 2K and its major franchises, recruiting, my2K loyalty program, and email marketing.

I worked with Nate very closely for just over 3 years at Cloud Chamber. We were tasked with running AI/Gameplay Engineering and all AI/Gameplay Systems & Features development — a monumental undertaking. Nate cares very deeply about his team and their ability to be successful. He is always defending them, attempting to protect them, bringing their problems to leadership's attention, and working to make their on-team lives better. He was a fantastic contribution to the team culturally.
