about me

i’m ari, i make games, you can see all about that on my portfolio.

i made this blog in january 2025 to carve out something for myself for two major reasons:

1. to plant a flag in the internet and claim some ground back for myself. this blog runs on publii and is uploaded to my webhosting (which is soon to be migrated entirely in-literal-house). it’s my data, it’s my custom theme, and soon it’ll be on my metal.
2. i used to blog before microblogging came along and killed it. i’d like to do it again.

for techy setup info, check out behind the scenes.

you can find me in the following places:

• backloggd: roxaloxa
• bluesky: @arivelazquez.com
• discord: roxaloxa
• last.fm: roxaloxa
• record club: ari

and i post devlogs for non-dayjob game projects i’m noodlin’ on in this mostly-gamedev forum called impromptu dot zone.
