Pokemon berry desserts! Which one is your favorite? I think mine might be the leppa cake or the chesto parfait? #pixelart

Thank you! Yeah can see where you’re coming from, but similar like the armadillo, I think me and the team just like the idea and look of it being very block like hahah

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 8d

Thanks! Yeah ngl was happy to get in such a unique creature. I feel like we have a lot of mammalian mobs so it’s always nice to introduce some variety and other cool fellas! 💖🫡

Mighty Goose is our epic run & gun shooter starring a bounty hunter Goose!

YES, that sounds incredibly silly, but make no mistake: This is our love letter to the genre, with a very big wink ;)

Check out the trailer and LET LOOSE THE GOOSE!! #gamedev #pixelart (links 👇)

Hahah this is adorable, love the smiling friends vibe :’D

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

Hey is no prob, feedback is always encouraged! Generally with mobs we want them to standout a bit from the environment. And for this fella it has a hard yet shiny shell that we wanted to represent, which requires a bit more of an extensive color palette.

The zombie naut just has emissiveness on bedrock for now. 🫡

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks! Yeah the zombie nautilus is pretty rad. Really happy with how the eyes look in VV for that fella

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

Was very inspired by ammonites and other creatures! Real world nautiluses are very unique looking but I had wanted to also reflect the nautilus shell item already in-game that players are familiar with.

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks! Yeah I figured it made the most sense to have its shell literally be a cube. Baby naut was also super fun to create, always gotta love tiny bb’s :’D

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

Thank you! Me and the rest of the team are very happy with it! 🥰

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 11d

So excited to share the nautilus with ya’ll. It’s really been a sweet mob to work on. Truly my lil baby 😭💖

What do you guys think of it? :0 #minecraftlive

An old study of Billie Holiday. Always thankful to Fallout and Bioshock for introducing me to Billie Holiday and other wonderful artists of that era. #pixelart #billieholiday

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 20d

Same here! But yeah it was a real treat. Again, noticed little details here and there which was great. That and having a theater sound system was incredible, especially with Akira’s great soundtrack.

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · 21d

Saw Akira in a theater and wow, it’s such a cool experience seeing it so crisp and on a big screen. Was noticing all these small details, especially in the early parts of the film.

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · Sep 8

Aw thanks!!

Had to share this cute pic of me and Felix. Was neat seeing the movie props. Especially the cubular fried chicken hahah 🍗

Watching Corridor Crew react to the Minecraft movie - and they're talking about how good the CG rendering is for the diamond sword that I'm holding in this picture

It almost looks real!

Sarah Boeving @sarahboev.bsky.social · Aug 19

Cuuuute, love the lil paws! 💖

My partner has started playing Undertale and I’m surprised at how oddly nostalgic I feel about the soundtrack etc. crazy to think it’ll be 10 years old in September, I believe?
