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…

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…
