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.

I am working on the specifics of this but my hope and expectation is that most uses would be permissible with some potential boundaries in place to protect myself and any other artists involved. I'll have a better answer for you soon!

Please, Mr. Bonk is my father…I’ve been a huge fan for such a long time. Would love to pick your brains sometime. It was so interesting to get a tiny peek inside your processes from the wookash pod a little while back!

Ben Elliot @bonkinteractive.com · 10/03/2026

Dreams (and all of the media molecule magic) has been a huge source of inspiration for this project! Any chance you’re at gdc right now?

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
