Hello!

My name is Eduardo "mrtheduts" Souza, and I am the creator of belfar.dev, nice to meet you and welcome to my small game development studio blog!

But who am I?

Born in 1995, Brazilian 🇧🇷, loves programming 👨🏻‍💻, games 🎮 and coffee ☕ and has dreamt of following this career path since 2015. That's the short version.

Why Belfar?

This name has a history. Let's begin.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Eduardo who wanted to play tabletop RPG, but no friends of his were willing to be the Game Master. So, he committed to researching and learning a simple RPG system to show his friends. Created some characters based on the Final Fantasy Ivalice universe and distributed them ready to use to his colleagues, using the 3DeT system.

The first sessions were a mess. Not enough planning, no good time management for the players and not good enough descriptions and elements to immerse the players into the story, as well as not aligning expectations with the players. But he would not change this failure for nothing, as it taught him so much about what not to do.

So, while he was amidst reading Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master and creating the world properly, he came across a city he'd need a good name that had something to do with commerce. Researching some words for a while, he found the word 'bufarinheiro' (Portuguese for 'pack-man'), and degraded it over a few iterations and...

Belfar appeared!

He loved so much this "creation" (I know I'm not the one who first invented this word, but I'm happy I was able to do this process alone) that he started using it everywhere:

Animal Crossing island's name;

Final Fantasy XIV character's surname;

A game dev indie studio;

So here we are. I hope that you enjoy the creations and blogging Belfar.Dev has to offer!
