💬 Notes, analysis and creative process from a Game Designer specialized in systems and narrative.
I'm Javier Lázaro, though you might know me as Lazarus. I'm a Game Designer specializing in systems and narrative design. My Chemical Engineering background shapes how I approach design: methodically, with an eye for emergent behavior and unintended consequences.
I think in variables, feedback loops, and emergent behavior - while my passion for storytelling keeps those systems grounded in meaningful player experience.
I believe the best games are built where mechanics and narrative reinforce each other. That intersection is where I work.
