In case you're waiting for the new Genshin Impact update for that one just announced new game mode, just go get Children of the Sun instead while it's on sale!

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

in addition to the gizmos, i've added a grab and drag which has been one of the most requested features from my playtesters. alt+drag to duplicate and even snapping still work with this as well. #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealengine

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas. #ProcGen #GameDev

another fun addition is a custom sticky triplanar solution that allows for seamless (ish) drag and drop texturing on both static and deforming meshes #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Trying out a bit more formal attire with a black tie... Made the camera movement more dynamic, too. I know this is just a wienernoid farting in zero G, but to me, this is the most beautiful thing I've done in a while. Really loving working on 3D games after only doing 2D games in the past. #Godot
