I tried my hand at making okonomiyaki for lunch today. 👏🏼✨ Not perfect, but it was delicious all the same.

It's Halloween. Here's some WIP violence. 🎃🔪 Soul Food will have Doom-style "glory kills" during combat.

Thinking about that EA + Dr. Pepper cross-promotion from 2010 for no particular reason at all.

Now you are too. 🖤

Never heard of #followfriday, but here's my pitch. @llanier.bsky.social & I are workin' on an #indiegame where you cook Japanese bar food by day, using otherworldly ingredients you harvest from the creatures that attack your restaurant at night. Come peep the gameplay and concepts on our feeds.

In case you were curious if the folks making the cooking game could actually cook.

Finally got around to trying out Davinci Resolve for creating update videos. Need to break the old artist habit of not sharing what I'm working on until it's done.

Embrace the jank.

Here's some plating footage our Soul Food prototype. 🍜

Good morning. Oberon is making sure you're starting your day off right: behold, a sleepy blep.

Thinking about that one time I made a fish head sketch in Substance Designer.

Some more shader goods with the "star glass" crystal shader for Hivekind. Heavily inspired by the crystal work from @makkon.bsky.social back in the day.

Also I loathe hashtags but I'm still figuring out visibility stuff for ol' bloosk.

Arctic Eggs is a gaming masterpiece.

As a little treat for the new kids (and game dev at large), here's a short video showing how I use gradients to colorize the world of Hivekind, a stylized UE5 prototype I worked on for some time.

I was in London on vacation recently. Easily one of the most packed weeks I could have put together. My feet are dead but I can't stop smiling. 🇬🇧

I missed this the first time around, but hey, I'm Cody Sauer. A senior environment artist turned game & tools designer that's worked on a few titles you probably know, and so many more you don't. Currently workin' on a cooking-cosmic-horror game with @llanier.bsky.social.

What's cookin' over in game dev today?

Went on a 10 day trip to Japan for vacation, and came back with some incredible (and delicious) reference for the Haunted Izakaya game we're developing. 🔥🍡

Aight, Game Dev Bluesky - Ya'll like BOOKS right? Tell me what you're reading!

I'm usually in the Fantasy and Horror spaces, and here's what I'm reading now, and a few of my favorites from the last couple years.

(If you like Fantasy and haven't read Fifth Season or Grace of Kings, PLEASE do)

Just pretend like this has a really satisfying, wet, slapping noise when the chicken flops on the board.

New haunt, new intro.

I'm Cody, an Environment Tech Artist working in the games industry. I've provided art and expertise for dozens of titles, some you've heard of, many you probably haven't.

Here's to hoping this one sticks, eh?
