Memoirium is feeling great in 2026. There have been a lot of updates to improve the game, spanning from UI to gameplay. UI navigation and design continue to be the bane of my existence. I will list…

I’ve been rather productive the past two months, but have unfortunately been less on top of blog posts and posting on other social media. There were a lot of rapid improvements made thanks to…

SXSW Sydney 2025 was an absolute blast. I am honored that Memoirium was invited to showcase, and I am still recovering from how much fun it was to be there. While I was only in Sydney for six days,…

I’m currently in a special stage of development, the optimization and polish stage. This is where I’m hunting for bugs and adding extra shine to as much as I can. With the relatively si…

Sort of a clickbait title, I do admit. I am still developing the game by myself. But I wouldn’t be able to do it without the support from Outersloth, my fiancé, my best friend, my brother, my…

It’s funny how often in Lies of P you see an item or a room and immediately know it’s a trap. You should be able to pick up the pattern after a while, and it really feels like your faul…

I spent this week working on the little things, like UI updates and pushing the camera closer to the player. In the equipment screen, the boxes were previously empty, and I put helpful background i…

This week, I spent a lot of time painting shadows. It’s much like baking lighting if you baked with your hands in the oven. I had painted some things with shadow before, but I overlooked how …

Hi everyone!

It’s a strange and fulfilling feeling being able to complete a playthrough of my game. I landed somewhere close to 12 hours, which I think is a good length for the size of the game. Plus, it …

Not a very crazy week. Well, a little crazy since I decided I wanted each weapon to have an even more distinct identity. I felt that the choice between weapons didn’t have enough impact, then I tho…

Playtests are great! I could play my game 100 times and find 5 bugs. One play tester could play once and find 10! So far the feedback I’ve gotten has been positive and the suggestions are extremely…

The dates for the limited playtest are May 2-10! Signup should be open on the Steam page: My goal for this playtest is to get early feedback on how the game feels. I want to see if there are any co…

I’ve been gone for a bit, but now I’m back at it! There’s not much in gamedev that feels better than knocking out items in a to-do list. The next big priority on the to-do list is…

When developing the combat for my game I wanted to understand and pick apart what made the combat in Souls games so fun and special. Looking at it from a design perspective I slowly came to realize…

I spent this week adding some more spells, weapons, and “new” enemies. You may notice, dear reader, that I put new in quotation marks because these new enemies either have previous boss…

Memoirium is a retro soulslike set in a realm of dreams. As a Dreamer, you must defeat others like you in order to escape the strange and eclectic subconscious landscape.

I’d love to talk about what I was working on this week, but I would rather keep it a secret. A great part of any game is the surprises! Since I’m chipping away at the final parts of the…
