Azhdarchid

I'm Bruno Dias, a São Paulo-based designer (systems, narrative, mechanics) and writer working in video games. Azhdarchid (named after the family of large pterosaurs) is my personal blog; I also have a more professional landing page at brunodias.dev.

You may know me from such video games as Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, Neo Cab, Pathologic 2 and 3, or Fallen London—you can see my full credits on MobyGames. I also edit the Game Narrative Reader, a link anthology of great essays about video game narrative design on the web.

For my sins, you can find me on Bluesky (@brunodias.dev) and on the Fediverse (@bruno@azhdarchid.online). For my cinema sins, I'm also on Letterboxd (notbrunoagain).

An Azhdarchid

In my last couple of posts I've talked about my desire to support "micro" and "meso" blogging more effectively; ie make it easier for me to post things that aren't necessarily full essays.

I've gone ahead and added a new class of content to Azhdarchid that I call "notes"; notes are like posts, except they're untitled by default and shown differently on the front page. I'm still feeding them into the RSS feed, and I've built a little automated tool to make writing and publishing these more easy.
