Memoirium on Steam
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.

Happy to announce that the Steam page for Memoirium is finally up! store.steampowered.com/app/3294440/...
Also, I am thrilled to reveal that @outersloth.com is funding this game! A million thanks to them!

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

Added a minor but significant change. Previously, enemy attacks would perfectly track the player, but now they're slower at rotating based on the size/weight of their weapon.
It feels and looks a lot better, as it should allow players to play more with spacing and positioning.

In response to the blatant corruption in our country, I felt inspired to create a new enemy called a capitalist creature. They carry briefcases and throw bills that do 1 damage to the player.

Feels weird to create or update game mechanics and have it run smoothly. There's always that itching feeling that I've overlooked something, and it'll bite me later. Oh well, I'll always find out sooner or later.

Just spent nearly 2 hours trying to fix a compiling error until I checked to see I was compiling an older project.

At least after compiling the right thing, there were no errors.
