I'm finally happy to announce that Memoirium is releasing on August 13, 2026. It's been a long time coming, and I could never have imagined that I would be in the position that I am in when I started working on this project in 2022. https://youtu.be/be_6mrQ1XrM?si=zkIHp5gJOlv9RcLb These past four years have been a dream comeContinue reading "Memoirium Release Date Announcement"
Memoirium in 2026
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 some of the updates in no particular order because I cannot remember everything I have worked on inContinue reading "Memoirium in 2026"
Locked in at 30fps
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 the private playtest service I signed up for. The playtesters have given constructive feedback and found bugs I would otherwise neverContinue reading "Locked in at 30fps"
SXSW Sydney x Memoirium
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, each day was filled with merriment, learning, and a lot of standing by Memoirium's booth. SXSWContinue reading "SXSW Sydney x Memoirium"
Optimization, polish, and achievements
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 simple aesthetic of Memoirium, a lot of polish goes a long way. Some examples of polish I have recently added: items whenContinue reading "Optimization, polish, and achievements"
I lied! I am not truly a solo dev.
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 parents, my cousins, my friends, my family, my fellow gamedevs, and my early playtesters. I am writing thisContinue reading "I lied! I am not truly a solo dev."
To play the player
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 fault when you fall for a trick that you knew was waiting for you. This madeContinue reading "To play the player"
Camera closer
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 images to show the player what goes into them. This should be useful, especially when the boxes grow more numerous. IContinue reading "Camera closer"
DysConnection
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 much better everything would look if I painted EVERYTHING. Well, I painted as many of the objects that IContinue reading "DysConnection"
Instrument Quality
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 will probably take longer for others since I do have the advantage of knowing the game back toContinue reading "Instrument Quality"
